Carnival 2010

I know. Very late lol. I just got photos off Kitty and Linda.

And.. for the first time.. I feel very happy and relaxed that I'm in one photo, and it's like.. the most perfect photo with all the group members there. - besides Ariel and Ngan because they didn't come :( -

This time, I don't think I ruined it either lol, and yea. I really like it :)

-sigh-

 I just called up the ADF again, to ask about the requirements for that gap year, and he said that there may not be one in 2012 :'(  Also, I found out that this year, they chose 400 out of 4000 applicants =/

So its a very slim chance that I'll make it in, but I'm still going for it. Praying that there's one in 2012..

If there isn't one.. then I might as well continue on to uni/tafe..

Hope I don't need to resort to that :)

ADF Education Gap Year

Yea.. I'm going to apply for this.

ADF = Australian Defence Force. I'm going to apply for the gap year in the army section. There's also the navy and airforce.

After this gap year, I may wish to either continue serving the army, or return back to my normal life (Continuing on to study) I'm deciding to continue serving the army, but as part time. Part time is available in many forms. I can choose to work 14 days a year, or 100 days a year, once a week or one weekend a month. It can be arranged to not interfere with uni/tafe or any other jobs, and it can be decided with the employer talking to the ADF people.

The problem with this gap year is that it's extremely popular. (Among guys more than girls lol) Because there's so many entries, the application must be filled online, and they'll be asking many questions to see if you're suitable or not. Entries start from January (don't know precise date) to 31st of March. This was this year's entries for 2011. I've called them up (I had a woman and I though she was those auto thingos, her wording, tone and everything was so perfect I didn't realise it until she asked for my name. I was thinking "why would an auto ask for my name?" So after I said my name she greeted me so yea. XD) and they said it should pretty much be the same date next year. So if I really want a position I should apply as early as I can.

I've talked this through with my parents, and they've accepted. The problem was for the part time (Which isn't always possible because some people are declined the position) and how to get there, because I think the ADF is located .. somewhere in Canberra? So.. yea imagine part time jobs, travelling all the way there =D

NOTE TO SELF: APPLY FOR ADF GAP YEAR ON THE 1ST OF JANUARY 2011!!!!!!!! MUST!!  Anyone else want to participate/apply with me? XD

10 Good Reasons To Take A Gap Year Before Uni.

1. Learn About the World

Although gap years don’t have to involve foreign travel, most gap year students seize the opportunity to travel abroad.

Young people are able to figure out who they are and what inspires them.

This firsthand experience of unfamiliar cultures offers profound lessons, especially for curious and motivated young people.

After all, engaged travel is one of the best forms of genuine education.

2. Learn About Yourself

For students who grew up in a structured environment with clearly defined social, athletic and academic goals, gap years offer valuable personal freedom.

Young people are able to figure out who they are and what inspires them. During the gap year, they begin to emerge as self-actualized adults.

3. Have Fun

You only live once. A gap year bursting with travel, adventure, exploration and self-discovery can be a life-changing and intensely memorable experience.

4. Overcome Challenges

Make no mistake – a gap year isn’t time to slack off or take a vacation.

Gap year students usually work, volunteer or undertake self-directed service projects.

For many students, especially those from sheltered backgrounds, the gap year is a time to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn’t always easy, but it is an essential part of growing up.

5. Save Money

There’s a common perception that gap years are only for wealthy students.

However, taking a gap year can actually save you money in the long run. Gap year students often work part-time as they travel, or volunteer for organizations that cover their expenses.

At the other end of the spectrum, structured gap year programs often offer college credit and cost less than college tuition.

The kicker is that by taking a gap year, students are much more likely to know what they want to study in college. Clear academic and career goals keep students from aimlessly drifting through 4 years of college and 3 years of graduate school at upwards of $40,000 per year.

6. Improve Your College Admission Chances

Imagine an admissions officer trying to decide between two applicants.

Both applicants boast impressive grades, scored high on the SATs, are highly recommended by their teachers and played varsity field hockey.

However, one applicant has volunteered for 8 months in East Africa, speaks some Swahili and is passionate about public health issues in developing countries.

Who do you think the admissions officer would choose?

7. Avoid the Social Pitfalls of College

Students who arrive at college with a full year of life experience under their belts are less likely to engage in risky behavior than students for whom college is their first intoxicating dose of freedom from parental supervision.

On this note, gap year students often become effective role models for their college classmates.

8. Find Your Academic Niche

College can be an opportunity to explore a wide range of academic disciplines, but students will get a lot more out of their education if they have at least a general idea of what they want to study, and what career their expensive education will prepare them for.

9. Learn A Foreign Language

Proficiency in a foreign language is an invaluable skill for young people in today’s interconnected world.

Living, working and traveling overseas is the best way to learn a foreign language, which means that gap year students who supplement their high-school Spanish with travel in Bolivia have a serious advantage over their peers.

10. Get Some Serious Perspective

Education, at its core, is about accumulating intimate knowledge of the world through a wide range of life experiences.

Nicholas Kristof, a Rhodes scholar, Pulitzer Prize winning author and star columnist for the New York Times has this to say about gap years:

The bottom line is that you’ll almost certainly learn more from a gap year than you will in any single year in college.

Hospo Task

I've decided what to make! =] With my mum to help me XD

No she's not going to cook. I am because it's my assignment lol.

This isn't a recipe on the net, it's homemade, but I'm going to spice it up with a touch of fried noodles in a tumbleweed style. Not sure how, but it'll work out!! :)

Soooo.... mmm It's going to be a mix up of..

Marinated Quail in fried noodle-tumbleweed.

Hope it works out =] I'll update it tomorrow. So excited yet scared lol

Dad's BD Present

So, my dad's birthday is this month. Coming up soon =] I went and bought a Chinese Golden Dragon origami thingo, for $9. So.. in 2 days, it's completed! XD With the help of my slaves. I didn't make them my slaves though, they offered. So these slaves of mine, helped fold the many pieces, which was around 340-360 or so. Who are they?
Sa, Jenny, Kitty, Angel W. Jolly, Ariel, Ngan (Tu) and Jessica L. =] [THANKS FOR HELPING!!]

Oh, I also got a VERY VERY SORE upper BACK and NECK from this. I gave it to my dad today, since I don't thinking I'm able to keep it in one piece til his birthday. Anyways.. if you've seen this one already, you'll probably see it's different. I didn't really understand the instructions for the head, so I just made some up =]

Rollerblades

I've received my Inline Skates!!

Well.. its not pretty and hot as that black and green one lol.. but.. its alright..

I opened the box and i was horrified.. it looked sooo bigg!! and I place it next to my foot which was tiny in comparison lol.. So scared it wont fit.. but i tried it on.. and it fits snuggly! Still has space for me to grow in to it -thats if i'll ever grow-

Took it for a roll outside. Smooth ride, very comfortable, but hard to turn. I haven't been on inline skates for years.. and luckily I didn't fall going downhill. Very scary lol.

SO yea =]

Btw. It's called Inline Skates. Rollerblades is just one of the brands =]

Piano Song

Mmmm I got a suprise for my group. I'll learn this song that EVERYONE KNOWS AND SHOULD LOVE. But it'll probably take me a looooooooong time because.. well its not hard, just super fast. I'll probably learn it by christmas LOL. Just letting you guys know first ;)

Animal Shelters

I can't stress enough why you people should spay/desex your animals. For every dog or cat that dies every 5-10 seconds, there is always someone who is responsible for it. I know I've been responsible for more than 3 deaths, and I'm so ashamed, even when that happened when I was 14. Watch this video. You'll understand how difficult things are. I've cried watching this, and many more. Don't buy a dog, adapt one. Don't breed them. Spay them. Don't blame people for putting them to sleep, blame yourself. Blame yourself for not helping them. Blame yourself for not spaying or desexing them. Blame yourself for buying them off friends, or from pet shops. So many people has said this is cruel, inhumane. But what can we do? To be able to keep them for longer, they'd have to build a near-minimum of 40 shelters a year! Where does the money come from? Where's the point in that? People would just use that as an excuse to continue to breed, to drop their dogs of. No offence but this is especially asians. I've been through it. I've argued and had many fights with my dad, because he'd just drop off out pets he didn't like, and I would scream, cry, run after them, lock myself in, starve myself etc, but there's nothing I can do. For the first time, my dad has changed. Spaying our dog, literally preventing unwanted puppies. Yes they're cute. But are they cute enough, to turn away from those that were born to die? To turn away those that only have 6 days to live? Yes thats right. All cats and dogs that end up in shelters, all have 1 week to live. 2 maximum. Why? Because nearly 100 dog/cats are killed everyday in EACH SHELTER. Think about what you're doing! Spay/desex your pets if you care about the deaths or over 5 million animals EACH YEAR!!

INCEPTION

CRAP MOTHER _____

It's SOOOO GOOD!! SRLY.. I cant overly stress.. YOU PPL MUST WATCH IT!

OMG... EVERYONE was captured in the suspense THE WHOLE WAY OUT... and oh.. my.. god.. just.. JUST WATCH IT!!

Skin.

Walford Salad

Mmm on Tuesday my hospo class made walford salad =]

Consists of walnuts, celery, apple and mayonnaise. We had to make our own mayonnaise and.. I think most of the class didn't succeed. However, I did =] hehee. I just think I added one ingredient a little too much.. it tasted a bit off, but otherwise, perfect texture and nice colour lols.

Beagle Puppy Howls

Dang this is too cute!! And the pup looks sooo soft XD

Dream Car

I'd love to own a Toyota Yaris YRS 5 door hatchback auto in the future :) The 3 door one is pretty, but 2 seats (obviously lol) so naahh.. Colour would be either ink (black) or the lighter black, or silverish thingo...
The cost?  around 16k-20k

Pet shops

Approximately 130,000 dogs and 60,000 cats are killed at pounds every year. Unbelievable, eh?
Want to support this? Go buy pets at the pet shop.

How can this be? Google it lol. If you want me to explain I'll go on forever.

BTW. People that breed their pets just for fun because they want puppies, are supporting the deaths of hundred of thousands of cats or dogs every year. YES THATS RIGHT. You get 6 puppies, you kill 6.

IMAGINE IT. Your dog gets pregnant, (or makes one get pregnant) She gives birth to 4 pups. Those pups grow up, 2 of them are female, they get pregnant, more pups, then THOSE grow up etc etc. Not just that, but can you guarantee that all those pups will go to good homes? Can you be sure that they'll stay there? Because that can never happen all the time. Your pups might go to your friends or their friends, but then they might not be up to it when they actually experience the difficulty of owning one. So what do they do? Give them away (same thing might happen) or dump it of somewhere and eventually, some will end up at the shelters, awaiting death sentences.

Want a dog? RESEARCH ABOUT THEM. Do you have the time? The love? The patients? The facility? If yes, then go get one at a professional dog breeder, or rescue one from the shelter/pound. You can get one from common breeders. These people are not those that breed once or twice. Common breeders in other words, would be those that devote part of their life to breeding healthy puppies and providing adequate or excellent care.

Last thing lol. DONT ever get fooled by the cute puppies or kittens in that glass window. They're there to attract you. Yea go ahead take a look, a few awwwws here and there, but NEVER EVER BUY ONE. Want to see proof of pet shop care? Just look at the bird section. See the budgies? Around 10-20 are kept in that tiny cage. Same with the parrots. How long do you think they live in there until someone gets them? Think bout it lol

XD Just posting this since Danny and I was having a chat bout small hypoallergenic dogs :)

Sports Carnival

2nd last carnival completed. I did my best. Good results XD

One of the important things -> I participated in the group photo, which i'd never do.. but i dunno why i just felt like i wanted to for some..

SO today, I came first for the 100m. But I was lucky that I didn't have the fast ppl versing me lol. I came 2nd for javelin =] It went 16.something metres! XD 1'st place was a yr 12. 3rd was Natasha Grima! =D I entered the 400m and camed 8th out of 9 ppl and I got my house 3 points :) I did discus and I dunno how many points I got for my house, but at least I tried cause I failed LOL. Umm sack race with yr 11 and 12 I came 2nd, the umm flag race i think its called, where the teacher kicks the football, and one person from each house tries to get it, whoever does stays for finals. SO, I RAN after it, caught the ball, did a rolly polly to get up, turned around.. and SMASH. 5 other people smashed into me, Pamela went for the dived, they all tackled me. GOD I was shocked and in my head i was saying "oh crap what the hell" sooo... I got tackled backwards, fell and hit my head on the ground, they were still trying to get the ball and someone tried jumping on me, I got a bruise on my arse. I rolled up into a ball, with the football tucked between my body and they gave up except 1 lol, but I still made it so i let it go. Gosh i was covered in grass. Ummm... Long jump .. my furthest was 3.18 -sigh- I was the smalled so.. smallest legs lol. Rowie.. OMG she got 4.8 - 4.9m!! crap man.. and she was soooo tall it was amazing when you see her jump!

SO.. mm yeaa... In the car I felt like vomiting, my head throbs since after the fall, tried to get some sleep at the carnival.. dozed off a few times.. nearly vomited in the car.. went home and slept.. now i wake up with a massive migrane and i feel so sick and dizzy.. and I cant sleep on my right side because of my butt-bruise! why cant it be on the left! -cries-

OVERALL. Great Day =] Roger and Andy also had sport carnival lol.

-sighh- This is so sad, why don't these things happen to me in the holidays? Why now! When its term 3, and I need to be there for cheerleading!!

Monday I didn't attend school, because I came down with a cold during the night. I guess it was because I gave my dog a bath at 9pm =/ And it was cold at night too. Wait.. How the heck would I get from that? Easy (though I didn't really think about it) I don't give my dog her bath in the clothes I'm wearing. I strip. NOO not everything ROFLS. I wear a singlet and underwear.. yes weird.. but its better than getting your PJ's or whatever you're wearing soaking wet. AND I had the window open.. freezing mmhmm but if I dont open the window and turn on the fan I would suffocate with the smell of wet dog =D

SOOO Came back to school on Tuesday.. went well.. didn't do much cheerleading because more than half the girls were at various meetings.

Today? Why am I typing this during school hours? Yes I'm at home, but I'm not planning to stay home all day. Besides, I'm only having what girls would get once every one or two months? Yes that.. massive cramps. SO I'm sitting here typing this up with a heated wheat bag on my stomach and it feels awesome :) Lol thats not the only reason why I'm home atm. You'd know that I have.. this weird thing going on in my stomach yes? Well that's the cause of ________ =) So right now my stomach feels so warm and awesome, yet my stomach feels like its in nots. And whenever that sound comes along.. I feel like puking =='

WELL this is just to let you ppl know that I'm NOT jigging. If I did jig, it'd probably be the last day of school, yet I haven't jigged that even once so NO IM NOT JIGGING LOL.

notetoself: Must be back at school before lunch, no matter what condition I'm in. [cheerleading!!]

( _ _)      
(> ³  >

NO MORE FEAR!! I think I'm going to do fine/ok for the prelims. One more term left. Gosh so fast lol.

What I'm certain of.. is I'm not going to do good for English.. even if i try hard.. might pass.. but probably 60% .. or 70% if im lucky lols.. =D

LOLOL Something funny happened while I was at school.

My dad didn't clean up the rat glue and the 2 mice that was stuck on it.. and my dog tried to eat it, and she went too far LOL Her fur around her face got stuck a little, so when she pulled back her hair tugged.. so I think she thought the mice bit her. SO.. as a result she jumped awkwardly, and her feet got stuck, then she thrashed about and was whinning and screaming lolol. My dad ran out cause it sound like my dog was in huge pain or something (My mum said it was a long time since she saw him run to something like that.. he really must love cookie too lols) and he found the rat glue plate broken in half, one stuck on cookie's side, and the other stuck under her belly.. with the mouse stuck on it too lool.

SOOO my mum spent and hour or so taking it off her, having to cut some of her hair =/

I know.. it's sad.. but its FUNNY :L Poor doggy.. gave her a bathe =]

I don't know whats wrong with me, but I'm starting to panic about this term.

I know we're facing the yearlies soon, and I want to do good, but I don't understand. I have .. this.. feeling that I won't do good.. and I don't like it.. BUT I'm not going to give up. I've already isolated myself from addicting games. The only game I have left thats open to me, is omgpop, and .. that's not very addicting (except the hitmachine.. but I get sick of it after one game lol)

What's my goal for the end of year 11? To get a waaay better report than before. For the yearlies I'm aiming for 70 above (I know.. not such a high number since all my friends can get like.. 80 above or something.. they're just too smart)

uughh... I still have that gut feeling.. especially for english.. since I suck at it so much.. I know english is my worst subject, and I don't know how to improve on it =/

Still haven't finished that 30-day letter thingo. I'll finish the whole thing one day lol, I'm also moving away from this blog too. So.. I'll probably post "major" stuff only =D

WELL, bye bye blog and.. the internet lol. Moving away from my laptop too, trying to use it only when I need to -sigh- just hope I can keep this up..

Alriights! I'm getting the rollerblades xD

Total of $139 AUS. It'll still be cheaper than buying them at rebel sports or the rollerblade/bayside shop in the city.

Mum agrees willingly, but is only reluctant because of my "major" (In her views) accident 6 yrs ago. But meh, gonna get the protective gear too.. soo.. yeaa lool.

What about my dad? I'm giving him the hint day by day, and before it arrives, I'll have a chat to him, explaining my reasons and what I'd do if it doesn't fit.

WELL. Here it is, a size 6US. Model of 2009. Mum didn't like the looks, too boyish.. but me? It looks cool lol. She wanted me to get the 2010 model, which would've been $182 AUS.. plus it is prettier lol but .. oh well =]

Runescape Account

This is an update on my runescape account lol. Unlike "someone" I don't cheat XD

It's all my hard work and effort. [You can interpret this as all the hours of my life I wasted on it lols]

People that don't play runescape won't really understand it lol, but to those who do play it. "hheehee"

MMmmm.. after I bought the abyssal whip, I got 1mil cash and another mil worth of items left in my bank =]

Lvl 82 (84 with summoning)

I didn't feed the terrier much, so he's still a pup since last time lol

The stuff in the above images ( - ring of wealth, amulet of glory and red dragon vambraces )

XD Bye RUNESCAPE!! See you next holiday! And that'll be the last time til I finish HSC =]

Day 3 : Parents

Dear Mum and Dad

Although the chances are slim that you would ever encounter this site, I'd still like to write this to you, and hope that you still believe in me. This year, I did shit. I passed all of my half yearlies except Maths, which I failed miserably. Not only that, I didn't pass by much. They were all under 68%

Especially to my loving mother. I've disappointed you soo much, but I hope you would stop thinking that I don't care, because in truth I do. It's just my stupid habit that I grew up with. Same goes for dad. I know you hate it when I mention anything that involves a guy, or you give me the suspicious look when I say I'm going to a friend's house to study, or going shopping. Don't worry dad I have great friends and we all look out for each other. It's not like we're going to get molested or something (although that is possible) but that's why I always bring Roger along. Good for him too since he needs to go out as much as I do :)

Please stop worrying about me too much, I know that's your role as parents, and that you love me but yeaa.. I know I keep staying up too late, then waking up too early, then I become fatigue after school, then sleep too much, then get sick! XD But it's ok. Things are changing. My paths changing and for the first time, I have a good feeling it's going to work :) So lets just wait and see. I'll always continue to try my best, and for you mum, I'll try to dress more girly. . if I can =]

Day 2 - Your Crush

Heeyy wassup _______ =]

This might sound kinda weird.. but oh well.. being honest in all my letters.

The first time I met you.. was AWESOME =] LOL I know you were very fascinating and interesting, so basically I couldn't keep my eyes of you. (I was stalking you around the house LOL)Just to let you know, you always brighten up my world when you say "hi" or when ever you talk to me. You're cool and smart, and have the greatest humor ever. You're kind, you play along to my random scenarios (rofls)you're hectic and you wear glasses!! (aweesome =]) Plus, you're always there to answer my questions, and there's stuff that you'd know how I feel cause we both experience it =D

Seeing you, getting to know you, asking questions, having you listening to my issues (haha lol) and finally talking to you, is awesome. Just by being the person you are, is why you I like you, and I don't think anyone can not like you >.<

Best of luck for your HSC, and I grant you the power to achieve your wanted results and continue to never give up :)

Day 1 - Best Friend

I'll write this letter to my Best Friends, as well as my close friends, since they're as good as my best friends =]

So, To my Best and Closest Friends.

Thank you, for always being there and listening to my issues. It is being with you that I found my weaknesses, my strength, my talents, and my personality. I am greatly honored that you know exactly when to interrupt someone, or change the topic just in time for saving me. (that's special thanks to Ariel when she sees I really need to eat without giving half my food away <3) I'm so grateful that you always help me, even though I'm usually lazy, and sometimes selfish.. and that you support me when I leave my assignments to last XD What I love most about you guys, is that you actually understand my way, and how I express my feelings. Most of the time, if say, you got hurt, or something depressing happened that affected you greatly, I always try putting myself into your shoes, and I do care, but my reaction, or my expression, does not really show it. It may always look like I'm trying to change the topic, or avoid your eye contact, but that's only to keep my from crying, because if I cry, chances are, you would too.

There's no other words I can put together,
for this feeling I'm having now,
knowing that I made my choice right,
choosing the right friends for me,
when some people say otherwise.
Just know, that if any fight occurs,
or anything that might break
our friendship bond
I will never hate you
I will always love you, and
I will always be waiting ..

30 days 30 letters

Since a lot of my friends are doing this, I'd thought I'd give it a go too =]

Anti Rape Axe

Did anyone know about this? I never. . until know.

Oh sorry.. I forgot.. reading that title you'd have no idea. It's a type of anti-rape condom..

It's a pretty good idea, and the rapist would deserve, also causing humiliation and excruciating pain, giving the victim time to escape. The only way to remove it is surgically, would of course notify the police that he is a rapist LOL. Google Wikipedia about. I told my mum about it =D and she said the government should fund it too. I don't think they do.. do they? Dunno. But very interesting invention by "iforgothername" Since we're all mature people reading this, I guess its alright to post this topic =]

If you still dont get it, or want to know how it works or the likes, google image it. dw it's safe

-came across this on facebook, one of the yr 12's post-

Did you manage to wake up at the time you plannned? OR is that for another day?

Sophia: Yup. Wasn't a problem =] Libby right?

Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever.

New permanent bedtime: 10pm

New wakeup time: 5am

Sleep: 7hrs

Gaming: BANNED. No runescape, counterstrike, combat arms, omgpop.

Exception: Runescape member with Vi for holiday after yr 11 yearlies.

How: Rs password changed and kept by Vi. Combat arms pw kept by roger, Counterstrike deleted. omgpop pw changed and kept by roger.

why? I need to pull myself up. Distractions are everywhere, and I can't be motivated to do homework or assignments when games are a click away. -sigh- This is the only way I have control lol. Oh yea, the only game I'd be able to play more frequently is the ps3, but thats only because I get dizzy from it quite fast lol, and the max is 4 hours gameplay, or else it'll overheat lol

Dear Softball Tryout girls

Goodluck EVERYONE! i hope those who deserve to make it are in it! Sophia *stares* don't doubt yourself! believe and IT CAN HAPPEN!!! do you know how hard you can throw! honestly!
But i'm hoping the list is up tomorrow :)
And i bid everyone good day.

OMG some ppl on combat arms are idiot. Jeeze just because someone gets a kill streak does NOT mean they hack. Farrr out.. jeeze I was playing a room where only handguns are allowed, and on my team I was the top one with 20 kills and 11 deaths, and they bloody say I'm a hacker, while on the other team, an elite player with 21 kills and 9 deaths is not a hacker, and HE bloody kicks ME out. WTF! jeezee.. I could've gotten alot of xp and cash from that game =='

Scorpio
Your element: Water
Your ruling planets: Pluto
Symbol: The Scorpion
Your stone: Topaz
Life Pursuit: To survive against all opposition
Vibration: Resilient
Scorpio's Secret Desire: To triumph


Description:
Reputed to be the "most powerful" sign of the zodiac, Scorpios lead fate filled lives and have intense and dramatic personal relationships. Even as children Scorpios are often found to be wise beyond their years. Many astrologers call this the sign of the "oldest souls". Old and wise beyond the average, Scorpios often know all the answers, except sometimes; they too often have difficulty finding what they need to develop their own happiness.

Passion, desire and power go hand in hand for Scorpios. Their biggest challenge and test in life is choosing between the power of love and the love of power. Coming to grips with their extraordinary emotional depths and sensitivity isn't easy for those around them. They are different from all other zodiac signs and this difference has them walking, working and loving to a different beat. Others can often live with a Scorpio partner for years, but not really know them. Much to do with a Scorpio remains ever secret. Their eyes often blaze with feelings that words never express, and beware on the days or nights they hide their feelings behind dark glasses, there is likely to be a storm of some kind brewing. When you deal with a Scorpio you have to always deal with them on a psychic intuitive level. They often wear a mask. Too often they say "no" when they really mean "yes". They have contrary natures. Once they find true love they can be the most faithful dedicated of all partners but fall out badly with a Scorpio and you are likely to find they will never forget or forgive.

Most Scorpios are winners. The main thing they have to worry about is their attitudes, which make up their mind powers and can either make or break them. When they are negative about something or someone, or critical of themselves, they can tend to get in their own way.

Scorpios operate on three levels of soul evolvement; adding up to three distinctively different types of Scorpios. The first level is the Scorpion. This is the least evolved and most drawn toward using their powers the wrong way. The criminal element of Scorpio comes under this level. Then there is the eagle - the highflying, entrepreneurial, successful Scorpio, who seems able to rise above adversity and transform bad-times into good. Then the highest expression of this sign is the Phoenix Resurrected. These Scorpios are detached and extremely powerful. They are wise beyond their years and act as leaders and are an inspiration to others. Quite frequently a Scorpio goes through the three levels of evolvement in one lifetime - but the levels can operate out of sequence.

I've finally found my favourite artist. Never had one, never thought i will.. but wow.. it happened LOL
My favourite artist is Adam Lambert. I've downloaded all of his songs in one night. I was soo addicted already lol. He's also good looking, well.. only when he isn't wearing his goth-gay stuff. But still he's cool. It's sad that quite a few ppl dislike just because he's gay, but they're missing out on HEAPS. He has one of the most AMAZING voices seriously =D

Now, I know what my friends feel about their asian bands or artist >.<

WOOOHHHH!!!!
