ahh.. so long ago

random thought: is my hair long enough to spike yet?

the holidays seem to have gone by rather slowly for me ..only coz i dont really remember eXactly what i did from day to day.. wow. but they are nearing and end. nooooo..

anyways. headaches.. been getting them lately.. since end of term is. i thought ..maybe due to emotional rollercoaster coz i havent been on one yet.. but the answer was simple!! my head has been growing s i d e w a y s. -_-' and my glasses are wAY too small for me

Hmmm.. lets see what did i do yesterday. I GOT MY EYES CHECKED!! ><. not that exciting but what was is that they arent gettin worse. *wo0T* so for a little party i will be gettin new frames. lol. this time they are red. i wanted black but six people around me said that the red was better. *shrugs*.. will be getting sometime during next week..possibly before the formal? *fingers crossed* ...

so.. we can ssay good bye to this green pair of mine ^^

comments regarding what they look like >>

sister: cyclops .opTIC blASsssTT.. *psssh..chuuui chuui*

-_-'

blast from the past >>> here are some pictures i have dug up..scarrrRYY


Note to self: get a better camera

If you were a mutant what would be youR POWER!??

righto here is the question >>>

"if you were a mutant what would you be called and what would be your power/s ??"

ANSWER IT!!

coz i might just use your answer for my vcd project.

this time round instead of packaging. *gah that killed me* i would be doing character design.. designing myself a MutIE!! hehee.. that should be fun and less work

*fingers crossed*

JMC Academy FREE workshop.

lol. yer.. the free bit was attracting me already!! blah..NOO.. just kidding..
the fact that it was Digital Film and TV workshop was woaH. lets go.. NOW!

soo 171 Bank st. south melbourne.. ermz.. i have absolutely NO idea of how to get there. bleh -_-' but yay. that's when monica comes in lol.. she went too ^^ thank youuuu!!

we didn't get lost and we arrived with 30mins to spare. the shops down there are soo.. hmm..aussie? and stuff expensive -_-'

OKay so what did we do??

- we went into a GREEN ROOM! ya.. it was green. plain green. this is where you film and later edit to get rid all all the greeness and add in special effects or background images. awesome ^^. I want a green room with a control booth in my house ^^

- we got to set up the lights. wow.. the TRIPODS are soo advanced.. they go up say. 3meters??

- professional cameras.. wow so expensive 30 graND! waHH *eyes pop out* they came in a case that was bigger than the one for fraNk.. *cough..my french horn * hehe. according to the BEST of the BESSSTT cameras available they record at a extremely HIGH resolution or something like that.. which can equal to 1GB per sEC!! WOAH. (okay i'm not complaining about disk space now)

- editing with final CUt prO v. 5!! ya.. cool.. ^^ so advanced..it's what they edited lord of the rings on according to the technicians at our school. hmm..it seems to be quite similar to adobe premier pro 2 which is what im using. yay. but final cut is better.. you can log clips (ie. import clips/raw footage) all at the one time instead of manually which is what i'm doing now -_-

- program AFTER EFFECTS.. i WANTTT!! this is where we edited and got "rid" of the green background with a simple.. "CLICK!!".seriouslly ONE CLICK!! .. woah.. amazing.. imagine all the nifty ninja tricks and effects ya can do ><.. you can FLY, flip.. do whatever ya waNT!

>> conclusion

JMC had nice staff...but i wont be going there..coz they dont provide job help and on our family income no way can we afford full paying feess. *sigh* film might just have to be a leisure thing for me

woaH. go old school style ^^

Wow ..now that's skill in the field of editing..

one week has passed...

and it was AWESOME FUN!! yay!!!.. i felt as if i did a lot of hw.. but in reality i only started media hw.. but there is soo much =[

this is wat i did:

saturday - day 1 of filming.. got a third of the footage out of the way

sunday - church, dinner at aunties place, did a drawing for vcd

//// odd ...scary... ///

yesterday was last day of school YAY!

woke up 7am ish.. and there was this voice in my head.. this is what it said

A chill swept through my body,
the day that you stopped smiling.
You lay there unchanged, unmoved,
unaware of all the pass-a-byers

So still.

So cold was the touch of your hands
So eerie was the silence
So thin was the air around you
So neat and uncanny were you perfectly arranged

It was artifical
It wasn't you

I know you promised to never leave me
Your thoughts and last words,
remain so vivid in my whirlpool of a mind.

"Look up. Reach up. I will be apart of the stars.
You bring the sparkle and joy in my life.
All this would be reflected in the night sky.
Each twinkle you see is a jewel from me to you.
Remember the precious moments we had.
We will live forever...
together"

So sudden were we one
So sudden did I lose
So sudden did they come
So sudden were you taken

I won't be able to see you face to face.
The earth sperates us:
the moving and the still.
Why did you leave me?
You made me strong.

I am only human
I can only blame myself
You shouldn't have been next to me
The blankets were meant for one

Forever guilty of not being honest
I have one last secret to share
I never meant to huurt you
But you shouldn't have been so close

All it took was one sleep.

One unexplainable nightmare
One walk whilst still unconscious
One knife from the kitchen bench
One way to end the demons that were fighting in my head
One strike before I climbed back to the security of the blankets
One morning
One wake
One scream
One blanket stained with red

One day we were lovers
One night was all it took
One day I lost my loved one
One night i will seek you

I am suffering
I am cursed
I am unworthy
I am a sleepwalker

physically drained -_-

ah my goodness.. 10am start to the day.. well that's when i started filming .. but but but..

woke up reaLLY early so i could organsise like crazY! i do NOT want to make any mistakes.. i'm given

Righto this week has been ssooOOOoOOOooOo hectic.. really unbareable.. (due to my lack of time management skills). THis is ssO bad. i feel like a extremely poor role model.. definately noT worthy of a title such as vice school captain or even year 12. .. above all i complain WAY too much.. every second word is full of damninatio0n -_-'

Lesson learnt for the billionth time: do NOT leave anything to the last minute!

BUt this time .. i think it has really sunk in .. after giving up a thirty hours of sleep or so.. i've learnt my lesson.. and nearly suffered burns from the heater -_-'

VCD and media just killed by brain.. i had to room to squash in chem no matter how hard i tried.. but ahh.. i submitted both folios. .. did media to a better standard than vcd. .. never completed vcdd.. *fingers crossed* that the amount of paper i used make up for it >< " I'm the most stupid person alive.. in my brief i wrote i need to make a

> kid's meal box (real thing AND net for presentation)

Lastly i will end off with quote of the week:

Background info: In media class while we were stressing about our folios the teacher got onto the topic of who would make a good boyfriend

Teaacher: Tim will be good.. he is thoughtful.. Calium would be good but he would be the guy that doesn't remember your birthday"
Calium: (other side of classroom): what??
Teacher: I said you probably would forgot someone's birthday
Calium: ha.. i can't never remember mine. My dad asked me a few weeks ago, "You're turning 18 next week what do you want?" and i was like.. WHAT? I'M EIGHTEEN??

LOL!! you are soo funny.. haaha.. you pulled the most funniest face too..

Background info - Me busily doing vcd project and annotating my experimentation with the air dry modelling clay..

Clay: Hi do you need any help?
Me: nah.. it's okay i'm just annotating the stuff that is in there *points to a box with clay model*
Clay: Hey. it's my cousin.
Daniel: LMAO!

sounds lame when i type it.. but it was sooo funny

New experience:

This whole!! week i have been all red and pink.. oh my gosh.. I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF!. it looked i was blushing..but i wasn't .. *fingers crossed i'm not sick*.. arGH.. it gave people all the wrong messages.. so NO.. i'm not crazy over you just because you came over to talk to me and i went all red..

and no.. lanelle i'm not drunk.. but i might as well could have been.. i just dont understand maths.. i pick up the text book and dropped it immediately.. it slipped through my fingers.. i nearly fell off the chair -_-'

no .. redness is not because of stress grace.. it's something else..must be

:my conclusion: STUPID DAD! HE PUT PEPPER INTO all the stuff we had this week ><
