Lol, I didnt expect to run into Justin today... Yeah, the Justin from Christchurch, the ex-Lodgian, etc etc... He just moved today from Christchurch into Auckland it seems. I bumped into him at St Lukes mall while, uhh... shopping? Kinda...
He's like living in St Lukes now, which was my old neighbourhood, but I moved to New Windsor recently. I wanna go back to St Lukes!!! =(
Didn't recognise him at first, when he called out to me. I actually thought it was one of my other classmates, Chris, except with uhh... a deeper voice. Lol, I guess I can attribute it to not having seen Chris for ages as well. Hehe, good thing he didn't ask what his name was. That would have been a major embarrassment. Beyond that, there wasn't really much to my day I guess. Sigh, finally finished enrolling for my Semester 1 classes. Now on to Semester 2 -_-"
Anyway, going off. Ciao~

And back to organising
Yeah, did I ever mention that I continuously organise things? Maybe its just to occupy myself from thinking of things... But well, at least I've got another dota session planned for Thurs, even though the lack of skilled players coming will probably rage me as usual. But ah well, beggars can't be choosers.
And well, another dinner on Fri... If you read the post I just made, well... Perhaps it is true.
Love ends in a fire
Fire through the streets
Set them alight
Don't say your goodbyes
Say after me
I'll go my own way baby.

Summery thoughts
There's something about summer that just makes everything seem idyllic... And summer songs kinda reflect that atmosphere. But then again, for some reason these songs have a sad touch to them, almost wistful at times.
Recently, I've got that Weezer song stuck in my head, "Island In The Sun"... Something about it just seems really, well, sad, in a sense. And well... if you took the time to look up the lyrics, you might see why, or then again, maybe its just me.
And it somehow brings to mind another quote, but in Latin this time:
Haec olim meminisse iuvabit - perhaps someday we will look back upon these things with joy.
Something about it is strangely reminiscent of sad events. And I'm well, a sucker for things like these. Perhaps its my strange liking for stories with bittersweet endings.
Another song comes to mind, strangely, by a NZ artist. I find some of her songs quite well, soothing and melancholic, something I always liked. Man, I'm weird... It's called "Say After Me" by Bic Runga. And well, I wouldnt know why, but another quote comes to mind with that song too...
Amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur - We choose to love, we do not choose to cease loving.
Perhaps if you looked at the lyrics to this song you'd understand why as well.
If a moment in time could be the sum of the wishes in life, would it be better that the moment was what it was, just a brief flash in the flow of time, like a pebble thrown into the fast flowing river? Yet, we humans are such strange things. We barely notice that things are changing when they perpetually are in motion, and one day we awaken to find that the things we knew have passed, and fallen away into the recesses of time. And in those times, we recall the little individual moments that we treasure. I suppose the sum of the parts are greater than the whole after all.
There are times when well, things feel so temporary to us. I don't know why, but I'm in one of those moods. When everything seems like it'll all fall away, and I'll be left with nothing. Its kinda shaking, and I guess its making me particularly clingy these days... Ah well... Back to more reflections for me.
Ciao.

Results! Engineering! OMGWTFBBQ!
Lol... Funny day. Went to Jase's yesterday, and like slept at 6am. -_-" Woke up dead tired, then found out that results were out online. Went on to check, and it was really funny (NA - Not Achieved, SNA - Standard Not Attempted, A - Achieved, M - Merit, E - Excellence):
English was funny =D I failed 3 of the externals, and passed one. I still did alright for my internals, E for all three of them, but I couldn't be bothered when I was doing my English exam, so lol... And I think I did pretty fine for my exams considering the little effort I put in. I don't want to look at my Scholarship results though, that'd be horrible =\
And I checked NDeva today (Auckland Uni's student thingy) and I got accepted into Engineering!!! Yay!!! Hehe, I'm happy. That's it for today, I'm really tired with like 4 hours of sleep.

DotA...
It's been like ages since I've dota-ed, but I thought I'd go for another session, since it's always good to hook your friends on it =D I got like 8 other people other than myself to play, for a total of 9:
Me, Jase, Chris, Nithin, JiWin, JiWin's bro, Mihailo, Kent, and Tim. Well, truth to say, it wasn't so bad, but Nithin and Kent never played before, and Mihailo wasn't so far off in regards to that.
Truth to say, it's not like I'm that great either, but everyone else are noobs, so respectively I seem like a good player by a long shot. Which isn't true, but yeah. I had to teach Mihailo, Kent and Nithin. Especially Nithin. God that guy rages me... First off he moves incredibly slow, and his reactions are classically likened to those of a vegetable. Then he sits in base and poringly looks over every item when people are nicely INVADING the World Tree. Objectives, people, objectives. And I don't know how he couldn't pick up the proper use of the hero he was assigned (Raigor Stormhoof, the Earthshaker or rather) considering its as simple as point and click. It's hardly rocket science is it? Even his ultimate was simple. Please click when you have many enemies around you and watch them die. Then he starts asking me heaps of questions, when I'm pretty damn sure I've answered them all, and I get distracted and feed the enemy team. GG NITHIN!! At least Chris finally came along and helped me teach them somewhat better. Kent still managed to screw up by not learning how to use his items properly. It's a true wonder he managed to survive with boots of speed and 5 ring of regens, but I attribute that to the whole map being littered with noobs.
But all in all, putting the noob players aside (oops that's everyone I think) we made some progress. Mihailo caught on pretty well to learning item builds if not how to play. They all still need faster reflexes though. Tim seriously needs some level of common sense playing dota -_-" I mean, item builds are simple. Even I had a minor item build that got me through my noob stages pretty well... JiWin's brother is by all means pathetic both at playing and at item builds. I don't even know how he managed kills with a faulty tinker that relied on Laser and low mana. Oh well...
Meh, enough of rage. The first match was funny though... I randomed King Leoric, and so I ended up with Aegis/Rapier and paired with Reincarnation, it was plain cheap... 1k crits for you! Lol... Proof that me and Jase should never be paired in any dota match with those noobs...

Flight of The Conchords
Right, I must say I'm normally not proud of anything from NZ, but these guys crack me up so hard... Need proof? Go to youtube.com and search up Albi the Racist Dragon, or perhaps the Hiphoppotamus vs. Rhymenocerus. It's top-notch quality stuff, and Business Time is good as well...
On another note, read TuckerMax. It has got to be one of the best stuff there, I mean, this guy's like a prick and all, but he's still pretty damn funny. And "The Most Disturbing Conversation Ever", that thing is some quality shit man. Just read all his stories, it's so awesome.

My New Year's
Went to the bach with Dunc, Chris, Jase and Ben, courtesy of Chris's family =D It was a rather interesting few days that we spent there, I must say... I tried water-skiing twice, but my noobness and the cold water scared me off, and I only made it out of the water anyway, couldn't really stay on... *puts on the nubshoes*
I'm afraid I was a very annoying cunt during new year's eve/new year's morning... I got drunk rapidly and was talking smack and acting like the most irritating fuck ever... which I think I was, come to think of it... I probably should have built up my resistance before that, but I didn't think of it... And I don't know why I was so annoying too, heh =\ I guess it was a bad case of horrid luck... I got a mild hangover on New Year's as well, which made me dizzy until like 3pm, and I had to resort to sleeping to pass most of it, which meant I couldn't go fishing =( My New Year's resolution? Drink less, or build up resistance before doing that... And oh, be a less annoying cunt, which ain't hard, cos I remember trying really hard to be as annoying as I could... Don't ask me why I did that...
Can't really remember everything, so I'm just writing briefly... Unfortunately, we spent most of the time playing 5-way Hearts, and I don't know why... the weather wasn't as good as it should've been... I think we all got kinda raged at one another by the end of it... Which was kinda expected, considering that you spend like 4 or 5 days with just each other mainly 80% of the time...
I'm kinda tired, just got back 2 hours ago from a 3 hour trip... It's Dunc's birthday tomorrow!!! I wanna go to the Big Day Out too, but I'm kinda broke, and I don't have $130-ish to spare... A shame really, Muse, Tool, Blindspot, Lily Allen, The Killers and lots more are all going to be there... ='( BALLS! Ah well, I hope next year's one will be as good, so maybe I'll go then...
I'm off for today/tonight... Ciao~

Merry Christmas
Just before I start, Merry Christmas to everyone, and have an enjoyable New Year's... Haven't been up to much, beyond Laser-Striking with 7th form mates last Friday... Hehe, that was rather amusing, since we finished and went out for a ride to town... Then we went to Mission Bay... You guys remember White Chicks? You surely would know the numerous scenes where the people sing Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles"... for some odd reason, we were doing that... perhaps the very late night and the fact that there were chicks in the car helped to bring that along... I'd recommend you guys to try it, with chicks of course... and turn it up so loud you can't hear yourself sing... the experience is shaming, and exceptionally hilarious...
I didn't get gifts for anyone, cos I don't do Christmas as a rule. I don't see any point in getting gifts for people especially if you don't feel like it, or you don't know what to get... It becomes an obligation at that point, and there's just no spirit in it, right? Well, can't think of any more to say, so ciao~ I'll write sometime...

5 days to Christmas
Not that I'm very much too concerned about it, since I don't need to buy many presents, and I can mostly do them last minute... Last few days weren't too bad... I stayed at Ben's for like Sunday, Monday, and went back on Tuesday, lol... I should learn to play tennis, otherwise it'll be such a waste of a perfectly good opportunity to play tennis in his courts ^^
Got myself board-shorts for like the first time in I-dunno-how-many-years... It's been fuck ages since I've worn shorts... Last time I wore them (uniform doesn't count), was like 8 years or so? But I thought a good change might be in order, so yeah... Why the hell not... Hehe, then I had a cyber-cafe session with some friends to play dota at like 1... Was mostly shopping till then... Jason was silly enough to come early (well, I guess I did tell him to come early, =P) and so I had to stop shopping, find him... And then proceed to more shopping, lolz... Went all over town just looking at stuff, if only Jase would have stopped being so damned uncomfortable being in places like Keith Matheson and Ermenegildo Zegna -_-"
DotA wasn't too bad either, except that everyone didn't really know how to play... One of them was getting better, Jase already knew how to play... and the other two were noobs when it came to it... Well, maybe that was a little mean... They were learning well, but ultimately, they all got pwn't like noobs... Disappointing, especially from Jase, who was supposed to be as good as me... Ah well, he did get better when I gave him HEAPS of bloody pointers... But aside from that, in my self-reflection, I'm still quite a noob, so they must be uber-noobs ^^ lawl...
Might be awhile before my next post, going away for the new years, which would be a welcome change from the boredom... And maybe, hopefully, it won't rain so much so I can enjoy the summer, which ain't happening cos of the stupid rain... Well, ciao~

Story in six words...
This is hardly original... But I thought I'd do it anyway, a story in six words:
Didn't I say I'd catch you?

Back...
I'm really tired aye... Went to Dunc's yesterday, and just got back like now... Heh, it wasn't too bad... Jase and Ben, (other than Dunc) were there as well. We had like pizza, and I paid for half of it, Jase didn't pay, the darn bastard =P and we watched Goodfellas, which is quite a good gangster flick, if only it weren't a double sided DVD...
Then Ben busted out the weed, or was it before? I can't remember, but I did get a nice amount, we all did... Enough to get our dear eyes bloodshot... And I was drinking some Alize, I must say I really love it... It's delicious stuff... Didn't get enough sleep aye, so I should get summore sleep, cos I'm tired and all... Silly song by Kon-Tempt stuck in my head, "Lick That"... Heh, ciao~ Nightz.

It's OVERRRRRRRRRRR
Well, not really, but I just have one more, and it's on the f***ing weekend!!! ARGHH!!! So yeah, I might not go to it anyway... I can't believe I haven't even studied for any of them, come to think of it...
I got a letter from school telling me that I won prizes of some sort for the prizegiving ceremony. So I went to check it out, and apparently I won 1st in English and 4th equal in Stats, and some other stuff... Well, the only thing I care is how much money do I get for it? Otherwise I can't be bothered going, even if I get to shake the Prime Minister's hand again. She seriously has too much time, considering she's been to our school like two or three times this year already...
I should begin my jobhunt in earnest, aye... I kinda want the cash, come to think of it. Smith & Caugheys had tis 25% reduction of all their clothes and merchandise, which wasn't too bad... It's like 1/4 off CK, Armani (all the Armani's), Ralph Lauren, etc etc etc... You get the picture... Too bad I didn't find anything I liked (or could afford, I'm not thaaat rich =P)
I should get some sleep... I was so tired last night that a few shots of whiskey was enough to black me out completely... Luckily I had the decency to put the bottle away and climb into bed... Alright, ciao~

Study leave -__-;;
Yes, study leave actually began on wednesday, but I'm just lazy... This year is like the worst year for my exams... I've got 8 bloody exams!!! It goes as such:
Monday 20/11 Physics
Tuesday 21/11 Stats
Wednesday 22/11 English
Friday 24/11 Calculus Scholarship
Monday 27/11 Chemistry
Thursday 30/11 Biology
Friday 1/12 Physics Scholarship
Saturday 2/12 Stats Scholarship
Sigh... and I think I'll fail the scholarship exams... maybe i should just ditch them and settle for 5 exams instead... And studying is really really hard to do now that I'm leaving school... I really can't be bothered, even though i know i should, as my results affect my uni entry but still =\
Speaking of which, on tuesday, some yr 13 guy ran through the school stark naked... i didn't see him, but i hear he got caught, and was banned from going to the leaver's dinner... oh well... i haven't been doing much, save for some trips to the city, and sleep... it's unfortunate that the uni people i know are going off on their trips, since that means i have no one to go out with, as the majority of my classmates are off studying =\
Not much else to say... I should really study >.< Ciao~

School's ending...
Heh, it's been a very long time since I've written, been busy over the Guy Fawke's weekend and so forth, and yeah, never really found the time to write... School's officially ending tomorrow for us, although exams will start next week, which sucks alot... But yeah, it's kinda nostalgic really, I start to remember stuff that happened, and I begin to hang around/talk to others more... Don't get the impression that I'm a social recluse, but I usually am quite quiet.
I just found my school report after checking the mail today... Apparently we got them on Saturday, but oh well... didn't check, so didn't know... I'm pleased with my progress really, except that I think that my stats teacher wrote generic stuff for my report... "Gabriel's enthusiasm, diligence, and natural ability... a very conscientious and dedicated student who always works meticulously and steadily..." Well, I'd like to point out that I was hardly enthusiaistic about stats, nor close to diligent. Even saying I was dedicated is laughable, but I guess teachers can never be too sure, can they? And my Physics teacher contradicted that directly by saying I "lacked focus at times", lol... I suppose that's only too true, with the exception of "at times", I lacked focus most times! Hehe...
Prefect lists for next year's ... you guessed it, prefects... were out today. Frankly, I don't quite agree with some of the chosen prefects. Quite a few were really dumb (and obnoxious) pricks who I wouldn't have even considered, but then again, my prejudices get the better of me... They might have changed, who knows =\ It's a good thing I decided to leave next year, otherwise they'll be all sorts of strange prefects I'd have to contend with next year *shudder* ... Heh, I wonder if I should have tried for prefectship to see if I'd have made it... I wonder... Hmm... Ah well, too late now anyway...
School's ending tomorrow, bye Mt. Albert Grammar, I'll probably never see you again... Then again, I might, cos my friends will still be there =\ silly buggers who can't go to uni with me... Then again, it's probably better for them that way, otherwise they'll be 17 for the whole first year and miss out on all the alcoholic fun... =P
I forget to mention all the camwhoring that took place, as well as school shirt signing, but maybe I'll mention it later... Hmm, should I have gone for the leaver's dinner? Ah, bugger it, too late to buy tickets anyway, and b'sides, I don't have my dress pants/shoes for it =\ Bugger all... Ciao~
I just found my school report after checking the mail today... Apparently we got them on Saturday, but oh well... didn't check, so didn't know... I'm pleased with my progress really, except that I think that my stats teacher wrote generic stuff for my report...

Nearly forgot this...
It's been nearly a month now since I last posted here, but considering that nothing much happened that I can remember anyway, oh well... The holidays passed rather quickly, I must say... I haven't got much done at all, and dad came over during the last two weeks... I didn't much beyond bring him places in Auckland, which ain't much 'cos it's rather dreary... And of course I got him to buy me booze... My friends seem rather shocked that my dad would be willing to buy me booze, but I frankly don't see the trouble/problem... Well, I guess I'm ignorant...
Today was a day like most others, boring, boring, and even more boring... And oh, I got Excellence for my Bio internal again, which I spent only an hour in class on, as opposed to everyone else (3 hours)... so, up yours, everyone... I think I'm getting more arrogant... But school's not helping... And I got Excellence for the English internal which I decided to resit... Well, only because the topic in question was my forte, that being fantasy novels, in which I could write the first chapter... I think it's really fun to do fantasy, must be because of all that books I've read...
Well, the other thing of note happening today... I was walking home (as I always do) when I kinda saw some person up ahead walking... Well, he (I think it was a he) had a cloak or coat of some sort on... It was a rather nice article of clothing, and I was looking for that to add to my winter wear for some time (don't ask why he was wearing winter wear in the middle of spring)... Well, the thing was, he turned right off into another road, and I turned into the other road too, as I was also going in that direction. However, when I made the turn, he was gone... And, well, you might not really see how I find that strange, but the thing is there is no way he could have walked that fast, and the only way he could go was down the road... So it was like he vanished, in a sense, as if he was a figment of my imagination... But then, was he? Maybe I was hallucinating, maybe I'm very tired, ah well... I noticed that my way of writing this blog has changed somewhat, but I'm not entirely sure how...
Crazy P!ATD song stuck in my head:
And isn't this exactly where you like me
I'm exactly where you like me you know...
I guess I should get going... Sigh, I should start studying for my exams soon, considering they're like my last for school... Ciaoz~

Monotonous boredom
Well, it's holidays, and I suppose I should be somewhat glad, right? But, truth to tell, it's rather dreary here... So monotonous, I wake up, brush teeth, etc, etc etc, then go online... then shower, then eat, then go offline... and perhaps shove in some research work... >.< I should organise stuff to do, but it's too much of a hassle for me these days, considering that I always end up doing the organising... I'm going to end up ranting again -_-"
Besides that, there isn't really much to update for my life so far, since I didn't do much except go to city to do some research... It's great since its spring... so much warmer, and i must be having spring goggles or something (think beer goggles)... Heh, anywayz, I must be off... Ciaoz~
