If I toss a coin, what are my chances of getting head?
Do you sleep on your stomach? Can I?

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~

Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster...

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~

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~

My day...

Haha, what a funny day today was... But first, the bad news... I got charged today for my careless naive surfing on the net... Woke up this morning to find my credit balance was: $ 0.00.... I got owned!!! >.<>.< But the upside was, I got a free drink, which apparently was due to release sometime soon, in celebration of halloween... The problem is the flavour... Pumpkin... Ewwwwwwwwww.... Imagine, 2 shots of espresso, with foamed milk for a latte, and with pumpkin syrup... Ugh.,... It tasted so much like pumpkin.... But it was free, so yeah...

Then we went off to Duncan's place, or rather, I got ditched there, cos Chris had to go home for abit... And I helped Duncan clean up the house a little... Well, actually, I kinda stood there most of the time, talking to him while he was cleaning out his room... =P And looking at his primary school photos =P He's so small... and kinda adorable, in a kid adorable way... y'know... I think he kinda resented me saying that, but it's honest fact =P Then Ben came, and Chris came abit later, and Jase couldn't come... oh well...

Let's just say the night passed rather quickly, and I pity the poor people on CS who were listening to what Ben was talking about on the mic... Let's just say, it was pretty... uhh... disgusting and wrong... But it was hilarious at the time he said it... LOLZ... I'm still laughing now... Hehe, home now, since I got a ride home with Chris ^^ Probably going to sleep soon... Ciaoz all~

My phone...

Its suprising how little you sometimes know about your own phone... For one, I knew I could use my phone as a modem, but not that it connects with theoretical speeds of 460 kbps!!! >.<>.< ... what I do KNOW is... I've been connected to it for about 25 mins now... so if they're going to charge... it's sooooo gonna cost me.... or perhaps they charge by the amount of packets received and sent... Either way, I'm pretty much screwed >.< >.< >.<

Nuuuuuuuu!!!! How does vodafone not have any info on this? Damn you, useless vodafone NZ >.< >.< ..... Gah... screw it, if I run out of credit, so be it...

It's over!!!

Yeah! Exams are soooooo over =D At long last, 7 days after it has begun, it is now finished... for the time being, that is... until like another 3 months or so >.< You know, I have this nagging feeling that I screwed up my exams, thinking it was comparitively easy when I had actually just given bogus answers... I guess I'll find out soon, aye? Holidays at the end of next week too ^^ The beginning of spring could not have been any sweeter =)

I guess I'm being cheerful since exams are over and all... But now I don't know what to do... I guess it's time for me to actively look for a job then... Maybe I should go and work in a cafe, even though pay's crap, but still, hey, it's a job, right? =P

Can't really think of much to say, unless you want me to go into the stupidity of me having to prove something in binomial theorem... -_-" Heh, and I got entered for an extra Scholarship subject, so I had to drop it before they charged me for taking more than 3 scholarship subjects >.< And I didn't even know until like yesterday, and the last date of payment was like tomorrow -_-" Great timing eh?

I guess I'll go now... time to finally relax, listen to music and all... Can't get the song by Orson - Bright Idea - out of my head... I guess it's going to be stuck for some time...

Here's my bright idea... I'll just disappear!

Heh, it's kinda a sad song when you listen to the lyrics... Anywayz, ciaoz~

Blogger beta...

Heh, I've switched to Blogger Beta, being the one who cannot resist all things new... I thought I'd be part of the crowd and try something new ^^ Aren't I unoriginal? =P

Two exams down today, and two more to go over the next two days!!! YAY!!! And then 1 week more of school followed by holidays!!! Heh, except that I'm feeling like I should get myself a job, except that I'm being fussy about jobs =\

Hmm, should study for Stats and Bio... Ciaoz~

The DHDFD'S

Yeah... Went to a gig last night... I don't know all the bands that performed... Two of them came from my school, the 80's Jacket Club and the Pink Fluffy Clouds... Hmm, and the DHDFD's... 6/7 bands/people performing in total... and it was not too bad ^^ Only thing I could say is I wish there were more people... Like perhaps 2-3 times the amount...

Quite a few eye candy to feed on, heh... But apart from that, it was good fun... ^^ the music was rather good, and it only cost me $10, so it was cheap... Went with jase and bee, and well... chris was performing, so he was there, in a sense... We did dance, nearly everyone, down in the centre... Gosh, it was... umm... rowdy? I got pushed all over along with everyone, but it was good... only two bad things mainly:
1) I broke my jacket button!!! ='(
2) My shoulders and legs are reallll sore >.<

And now I'm off to study for... Chem, Phys, Calc Scholarship, Bio, Stats... in that order... English was horrrrrrrribleeeeeeeeee.... I think I failed two out of three of my essays... Man, I hate Arthur Miller... and I hate BladeRunner... ARGH!!! >.< Peaceout~

Friday

Well, made this post a lil' late, but yeah... Was kinda busy last night, so...

Saw Silent Hill with chris yesterday... Well, it wasn't going to be just us, but things came up, so >.< Hehe, it was actually not too bad, just four main issues imo:
a) there is no story, and so the movie goes to crap after a while
b) similarly, there are characters, but you know almost next to nothing about some of them
c) extremely gruesomely disgustingly revoltingly bloody, especially the mortality scenes at the end
d) dumb ending... what do you mean she's STILL in the alternate reality?!
but yeah, it was otherwise perfectly fine, it managed to convey the mood pretty well, and pyramid head looked perfect for a scary movie parody ^^

Earlier on Friday, jase found (actually stole from the idiotic Chem teacher ^^ =P) mini Post-Its... and hilarity ensued... =D Perhaps 'cos it was a Friday and all that... We stuck Post-Its that read "I sat on a POST-IT" on people's seats in assembly so when they sat down it'll be on their asses... LOLZ... Call me silly, but that was rather amusing for a while...

Can't believe exams are starting next thurs... And I haven't studied!!! Arghh!!!! I somehow have a bad feeling about my exam results for this term, which can't be good... considering they're my forecast results to get into engineering next year... >.< -_-" *sigh* I hate stats, and english too... DAMN YOU OTHELLO!!! Why couldn't we do manga as literature? It's so much easier... just go copy and paste for the picture... and voila! Done!!! =P

Heh, wasting precious time not studying, so better at least start revising Stats, or Physics, or Bio, or English, or even Scholarship..... stress.......

Ciaoz~

Windows Live Writer

Yeah, at the moment I am not on the blogger webpage, I'm just typing my good ol' post by the programme named above... It's really cool, it actually saves you time, and it's rather simple to use too =)

You know, someone told me today that I contradict myself... Well, I suppose I do, but then if I didn't it'll be too easy to read into what I think wouldn't it? =P And 'sides, it's not hard to tell what I'm being honest about, it kinda follows a pattern, if anyone's smart enough to spot it =P

Can't think of anything more to say, it's just a random post anyway... Cool... This porgramme's rather good...
