you know how pressurizing it is to have to paint and make the subject look like the subject? it's easy enough if the viewer doesn't know who my granny, two aunties and grand aunt are and they don't know how they look like. but to those around me that do, i'm in deep trouble. if i don't make it look like them, they know~.

i'm nearly done with my painting. NEARLY. and let's see.

28th of august.
due in is my HSC Visual Arts Major Work.
i'm due to move out officially. so monday the house has to be spotless.

30th of august.
i have a bio assignment due in.

so you see. i'm too busy. plus the internet is not going to be up anytime soon in the new house. so this may be my last blog before a long time. =)

sick as a dog. i hate flus. i want to be outside in the bright sunshine and i can't.
trying to finish up my major artwork. i brought home one side of it. so i'm going to right now.

my trial results so far (maths, bio and studies of religion) have not been good to my mood. all borderline. how the heck am i suppose to be applying for uni. RARH.

anyhoos, i'm off to paint. =) -getting into the creative zone-

ok so here's the photobucket-y version.



daniel at work! :D




coen young's rendition of garry shead. amazing photorealism eh? he's amazing.



karina's battle of the animals against three naked men. and don't worry. she's tried to make them all different races to not be prejudiced. ahah!



lila shead's beach painting. yep. i study with the daughter of that garry shead there.



abbey's pencil drawing of her gran and her.



kelly's collage of her trip to italy. cool stuff. different shades of brown paper to depict depth in the collage. and ink too.



some really cool painting in the artroom i chanced upon. looks alot like a picture yasmin sent me a longlong time ago.



chloe's anime rendition of the birth of venus. manga-style.



stacy's collage with ink. newspaper bits that say something interesting. read down the right-hand side.



my half-baked painting. not good i tell you. sooo messy.

and just for old time's sake

OROO...?

blogger's being shit on me. not uploading the rest of my photos. so it's photobucket for me.

these two are what i found in the art room. some year 11 guy's work which i think is cool. he's doing the painting in ink. will stay tuned to see how this comes out.




me painting.




daniel bemrose's triptych. 'have a nice day' on the iraqi war

I SPOILT DINNER. HATE MYSELF.

was supposed to be a nice little dinner with daddy and the girls but my stupid body had to shut down on me. the whole way to dinner was terrible. and at that steakhouse, couldn't force down a bite. shivering and stomach muscles clenching all the time. felt like chucking up all the time and my head was constantly reeling. sucked. i was supposed to be enjoying dinner!!!

damn i hate my body.

youtube's down for the moment. and i'm so tired. exams are draining me, the family's draining me. the next time you see me i'll be a ghost of my former self. i need timeout.

gto's been my temporary stress reliever. and so is writing letters and listening to japanese bands/singers. just as long english is not used. i kinda get sick of the sound of english after a while. not that i'm sick of the look and feel of it. just don't talk to me in english. if you want to, speak to me in english with another accent rather than the traditional english/american/australian. i can still tolerate the rest.

don't you think i'm weird. i think i'm weird. hmm.

i went back to parapara for a bit yest and the day before. funny how you never forget the dance moves. and how just throwing yourself to physical exertion pushes everything else out of your mind.

watch nausicaa valley of the winds yest too. never grow sick of hayao miyazaki's films. his films are really thought-provoking. not like some silly old kid movie about roadtrips and growing up. fern gully. must watch that next. i miss that show.

been thinking much on what i wanna do in uni next year. culture studies and linguistics. though my uncle patrick did warn me that degrees like those have no definate job ending. but what the heck. if i don't enjoy what i'm doing, i might as well not go to uni at all.

you know, i was just thinking about my 18th. not too sure what to do on that day. it's a sat and i might want a bash, in which case i'll most prob hold it at this venue. BUT i have the unfortunate thing of inviting ppl, which i have just realised is not a lot. *downcast* oh well. but then calvin goes and tell me to take a night out on the town. then it also hits me that not many of my friends are 18 as yet so they wouldn't be able to go in with me. oh the agonnyyy...

so addicted to youtube.com ahaha! okok, here are some of my favourites

(eventhough i know some of you out there don't particularly like japanese bands and all. =P)

takizawa's PV 'Kiseki'

V6 gakkouhe ikou! 10th anniversary ep 'we don't wanna sleep'

V6Ken doing a minimomi dance! so cute!!!

for the 10th anniversary ep, the break down is this, this is a bague drawing of sleeping plans.



nagano is in charge of switching off the lights. he's the only one not into this. ino-chi is at first the one suspect of disrupting the band's sleep (and he was also the one with the exposed butt). later on after a few snorts and hysterical laughter, we hear ken screaming like a girl, sakamoto pulling kens legs backwards and up. third scenario is another ken screaming-fest along with someone else's screaming. so the lights go on again and we see ken bent over forwards with his arms pulled back and up by sakamoto and standing under the lights is junichi doing a wwe stunt with ino-chi on his shoulders. go's just laughing his ass off in the background. ken later whacks ino-chi when he's down on the ground. nagano at this point in time is pissed off quite a bit and is a little antsy when he realises the group is trying to do something when the lights are out. i wouldn't spoil the ending but it ends really spectacularly. laugh factor of 10/10.
