Quote by AkaikenHey Kuri... just saw in
our local news that a hailstorm hit Sydney. Your place got affected,
too?
Nope, it probably hit another part of Sydney. I live close to the coast, so we
rarely get any hail. The last time we had a major hail storm was 10 years ago.
Most of the time when they say hail in Sydney, they really mean the inner areas
PS: I will reply your previous post soon... just a little pressed for time X_X

That's right. The Filipino language is a combination of Tagalog, English (there
are some English words that has no literal translation in Filipino), Spanish
(since Spain invaded the Philippines for more than 300 years), and Bahasa
(Malaysian... only partly, though), etc. It's really composed of mix languages
together, hehehe! that's
the modern Filipino language, though. Yung lumang Tagalog kasi is pure Filipino
talaga, matalinghaga (figurative). Yes, sometimes it's funny when some foreign
artists come here in the Philippines to promote or to have a concert and they'll
greet MABUHAY PILIPINAS or MAHAL KO KAYO. It's like MA-BU-HAY PI-LI-PI-NAS and
MA-HAL KO KA-YO! I mostly heard American and Chinese artists saying those, .
Funny but it's also like a compliment in the Filipinos. I see... so what SM
Malls have you visited? There's this new SM Mall na nagbukas last year lang, the
name's SM Mall of Asia. Sabi nila, yun raw ang pinakamalaking mall sa Asya. So
you like the weather here, huh? Not too hot and not too cold, ne? Ganyan talaga
kapag sa tropical country ka nakatira. Problema nga lang dito eh daanan ng
bagyo. Ngayong taon nga lang eh lampas sampu na ang dumaan.
Btw, how would you describe Canada? Wala lang naman... just curious since
matagal kang nakatira dyan, hehehe!
Haha, true. :P Hum, I don't remember quite well, but the SM mall around Angeles
City and Manila.
Really? That's cool, once I go back, I'll check it out, wonder if it's bigger
than the biggest mall in my place. I know another mall in Canada around Alberta,
and it's known that is the biggest since there's like Roller Coasters in and
such. :/ Yeah I love the weather in the Philippines, it's as you said not too
cold not too hot. Ahh true, since it's tropical, it should happen. Eeek, guess
it went that much as an effect of global warming, :/
Canada, is okay, it's fun and all but the problem is the temperature. When it's
too cold, it's very very cold, freezing like crazy. Though the houses and
building has heaters so it's okay. The summer can become very humid here also,
haha. xD Either way the fun thing of Canada is when we celebrate Holidays,
there's lots of activities offered everywhere sometimes for free organized by
some stores. Very fun! The education though it's high, always changes and I
don't like it when it changes. xD

Haha, sry. :P Marunong ko mag tagalog but very little capable of understanding
though. Nope, my parents did, i'm born in Canada, straight up! Haha
I see... pero nasorpresa pa rin ako dahil kahit konti lang eh nakakaintindi ka
ng tagalog. Most Filipino kids born abroad these days either don't know how to
speak and understand or have forgotten the Filipino language.
Kudos for you...
Oh yeah, if you want to learn more about the Filipino Promised Land, try
visiting flip. Maraming mga kapwa pinoy dun.
Ipagbunyi ang lahing Pilipino!
True. But either way I guess it's because parents nowadays doesn't have time to
teach their kids the most valuable language. I basically learned the Filipino
language through basic hearing and asking few questions, but most basic hearing,
my parents tried teaching me when I was young but apparently i got confused that
time, now i'm able to understand it. :/ It's a bummer though, it's like the
Filipino language is fading from the society that's out of the Philippines.
Salamat. Cool, check it out one day, maraming nako ng hmk recently.

I don't think so. There are some Filipinos in the US and I think even there that
prefer to speak Filipino language at home in order for their children to be used
to it. That way, kids who are born and raised there can still speak and
understand Filipino, kahit na paunti-unti lang. It's good to hear that you
basically learn from listening and asking questions. That's one good way to
learn, really... though I still don't quite understand japanese, I partly
learned some word by listening and watching the subs from various animes and
dramas, hehehe! You know... the Filipino language is, I think, also starting to
fade away here. It's a pity... youngsters here think that speaking tagalog from
the past is "uncool". Most Filipinos nowadays prefer to speak taglish
(tagalog and english combined). Why can't they just make up their minds. Speak
english and english itself or tagalog and tagalog itself. Geez... sorry for the
lil rant, hehehe! Kakainis lang talaga yung mga ganung klaseng
tao.
Yeah at some places it is fading. In my area where I live though, young
Filipino's are willing to learn. Japanese, complicated naman! I know few words
but it's basic only, like Konnichiwa, and others haha. Just listening and/or
reading takes a load of time to actually understand. Hum Taglish over there?
Here I understand if I were to speak Taglish since most young ones are still in
process of learning. But it's sad, the more it fades the more it'll be like a
past thing and instead Tagalog would be Taglish. Haha, it's okay.

That's good to hear. Filipino language is really interesting, hehehe! And most
of you there are willing to learn it. Well... it's like English, you just have
to translate English word to Filipino. yeah,
it's really complicated but it'll be also good if you familiarized little by
little. You'll be multilingual and that... that's sooo CooL! It's okay in your
case since you're still learning and sometimes, most people who aren't familiar
in the language pronounce most Filipino words really funny (no offense). Yeah,
really disappointing and sad... it's like Filipinos are now copying other
cultures. Kawawang Pilipinas. Oo nga pala, nakapunta ka na dito sa
Pinas?
True, I find that the Filipino language is a mix of everything-ish. Like a bit
of Spanish, English, French a bit. Like mais it's the same thing in French. :P
Multilingual is so awesome. Haha
true true because there's like an accent in the Filipino words because it isn't
mastered yet. :P True, I guess it's a fit in thing. Like trying to be like
everyone else. Yeap, visited the Philippines 3 times. First when I was super
young so I don't remember one thing and the 2 others around 2000 it's soo fun!
The SM malls are big! Maybe not compared to one mall I know here but huge naman,
I was impressed! The rains over there is different than where I live. When it
rains here it's pretty light unless it's a thunder storm, very scary at some
point. xD In the Philippines, I love the rain there and the sun so warm. It's
winter right now, too much snow, too cold it's crazy!
Quote by AkaikenHmm... it's not really
the honours I'm referring with. You know some stupid peepz do that just to hear
compliments, blah-blah-blah!
They just want their ears to bleed just to hear those... YOU'RE GREAT, YOU'RE A
GENIUS, YOU'RE COOL! *yuck* THEY SUCKS! Oh yeah, if you really refer them as
"crazy", I tell you, they'll die tomorrow. I should be the only crazy
freak living in this world! *evil laughs*
Well... it's at a State Uni, though. Private college and universities usually
have a tuition fee of around $500 (Australian local currency) and it may go up
higher year by year. $80 for each student just to sit on a lecture? Hmm... can I
study there? geez... our government here reduces the budget on our uni every year
so it's getting harder and harder to have proper facilities. And I'm graduating
now yet I haven't even experienced a proper room, . Btw, you can have a proper time management, oh yeah, that won't help much
but might still try, ne? It'll still be helpful in the future?
Several bank accounts? Wow... that's proper money saving, hehehe!
hmm... so you're just window shopping to see if there're any sales on digicams?
I think 35mm film cameras are good. Why not use it? Geez... 5 hubs,
hahaha!
Yay! *throws confetti over Kuri* don't change it!
I really missed that avvy of yours, hehehe! So much memories... (did I just got
sentimental?)
I'm not really the one you should thank with, it's Jak's words... the hell I
know about computer hardwares? All I know is to browse and type and chat and
dice and slice?
... oh yeah. I forgot about those kinds of people. They work hard to show off
their good marks. I nearly forgot they existed ROFL.
Hmmm I don't think we have any State Unis. Well, I go to the University of New
South Wales. It's a very good university (one of the best - but then there are
only a few that fit into that category) but I don't really know if it's Govt
owned or not. I know that since we all pay our fees, the Uni does a good job
keeping itself neat. We always have a building under construction each year,
too. Yeah, of course :3 I need to get rid of my bad time management
35mm film cameras are nice but you have to buy the film and process it - worse
still, you have to scan the photos in if you want them digital. Call me lazy,
but I'd rather plug in my camera and get the photos, resize them however I want
and print them out. Also with 35mm film, you don't know the result until you get
the photos from the photo guy. With a digital one you can check if it's blurry,
keep it or delete it. Then you don't have to take the same photo twice.
Well I was just gonna change it back to the Chen Shu Fen one... the only other
avatar I've used. Just because I liked it.
Lol well thanks to you both anyway - I've changed the memory settings and it
seems a lot better. I'd rather Photoshop be a little slower than having my
computer slice itself.
Quote by AkaikenHahaha... I told you, you
can do it after you graduate, hehehe!
Hmm... I don't think it's meaningless. I think most peepz work soooo damn hard
is because they want recognition. You know society... those who are recognized
are the ones who gets the limelight. sad
but true... well, studying sucks but learning is CooL!
Yeah... here, education is cheap but with the school projects and all, it's
already getting hard. My tuition fee on college is very cheap. If I'll convert
it in your local currency, it's only around Aus$10-15. it's a state uni so it's really cheap but some of the facilities sucks,
though... we can still survive here, hehehe!
Hmm... go find it in your bank account (if you have one)? I guess you better ask
your dad to buy one for you. After all, it's for educational purposes anyway...
X-O another month and a half? Wow... you really need that holidays,
hehehe!
Oh yeah... I'll voice out my grievance! DON'T CHANGE YOUR AVVY! IT'S SOOO DAMN
CUTE!
And about your question above...
Quoted from Jak: "You should get more RAM!
Photoshop's using your drive too much. Other possible solutions include setting
your scratch disks to another drive where the Windows paging file is located. If
your using CS2 or lower, its in Edit > Preferences > Memory and Cache and
Edit > Preferences > Performance for CS3. Setting the amount of RAM that
Photoshop uses would also help. But if it still grinds after that, then you got
yourself a dying drive. Get yourself a couple of SATA drives and if you can
afford and if your board supports it, set it up with data striping (2 identical
drives needed), that'd surely help a lot.
If symptoms still persist, Ken's probably digging through your hard drives.
Probably looking for some things I can't imagine.
End of call. 19:36:32 GMT"
That's Jak alright... DAMN YOU JAK!
Yeah, I know it's for recognition, but it's useless in our course anyway :P
Before everyone wanted HD averages to get into Honours, but there are no Honours
for the new program. I'm happy with just my DN average let alone a HD average
@_@ Crazy people.
Hmmm that is quite affordable. At University our lecturer calculated that it was
what, $80 an hour for each student just to sit in a lecture!? Crazy. That's why
I never wanted to skip them. I eventually had to, though. Too much work, and a
day is too short to sit for a lecture.
Lol I have several bank accounts I am planning to get the camera but only if it's cheaper, because I will
still need a memory stick. If the camera uses any old memory stick, then it'll
be much cheaper for me (SONY memory sticks are like $80, but you can get the
same thing for less than half the price from another company). I'm waiting to
see if there are any more sales. I don't want my dad to buy it for me... he
bought me one of those 35mm film cameras a while ago, but I never used it. Why I
didn't get a digital camera then? Because I had no USB Hub on my old computer...
and now I have this one... it has 5 hubs Sigh.
I think our uni is doing it out of spite. There was the other uni (University of
Sydney) - they start later and ended earlier. Now, our uni will start even later
than them and earlier than them. I just hope they don't give us the same
workload as a 14 week semester - we'd all die.
Lol okay okay I won't change it... yet...
I'll try to fiddle around the settings More
than likely it's probably because it's hot and the computer's heating up, so the
fans go mad. But it's particularly bad when I do stuff like zooming in, even
using a brush on Photoshop - then I'm not sure where the sound comes from. Maybe
burning the RAM? Perhaps it's the drive as you suggested. Ah well, it'll fix
itself Thanks~!

I sure hope so... well, if things go smoothly for me, I might graduate this
coming May or if not, around December next year. Hey why think? C'mon, it's just
some noodles.
Almost 7 days a week? Ouch... that's a lot. Well, it's just 2 days for me this
sem, *evil laughs*! And I had a 2-week holiday last October.
Geez... I thought that living there is cheap, hehehe! hmm...
I guess if that math is something you're good at, might as well accept the job,
.
After all, there's still 3 months for you and it's a good way to get some cash.
I'm currently working part-time now, though, I still don't know 'til when.
Lol, Shinya's prettier! Toshiya's old!
*looks above* Ouch...
Lol you'll probably graduate on time
Noodles lol. *emails them to you* hahaha
Yeah, it's almost 7 days a week because they say that we should be spending
"48 hours" OUTSIDE of Uni on just design. That's the entire weekend
without sleeping! We go to Uni 5 days a week and we've got other subjects to
tackle. By their definition, the only way to pass is to not eat and not sleep
D:?!
Haha nope. Living here used to be affordable. Now it's not. It's gotten to the
point that it's impossible to buy your own home
Inflation is so bad that back when milk was like $2, it's now nearly $4.
Well I decided to not take the job because my friend disappeared on me I'm
assuming the job got taken and he's in hiding because he made me make a resume
and everything. Not that I mind - I don't really need a job, and I needed a mock
resume anyway for the future.
I'll be going to uni early in mid-January to do some general subjects. It's
compulsory that we do 4 random subjects before we graduate. If we don't, we
can't graduate until we do. It's gonna be a looong summer

making a feasibility study is really a hard job to do.
Already emailed? Err... just ship it here, I'll give you my address,

Ouch... well, I might be experiencing that, too, because of the feasibility
study. In fact, our section's already late for 1 whole month in making it cuz we
haven't seen our instructor for that whole month!
Hahahah... geez, I'd rather fail than not to eat and sleep!
Hmm... in my opinion, it's still affordable to live there. Here... you won't
experience to live in luxury if you don't have the cash. Unlike Australia,
Philippines is not that big in terms of the economy.
Hahaha... now that's what I call "Runaway Friend"! don't
really need a job? But I thought you want to earn cash? oh
well... I'm having a part-time job now but it may not take long,
hehehe!
Geez... now that's a short vacation... well, just good luck on those subjects!
Lol, >__<!
Haha yeah, studying sucks u_u Well, it doesn't because you learn, but it sucks
when you have to do sooo much for so little
I don't get why people work so super hard... it's meaningless in the end
Well, it's affordable here because we have good social welfare. If you don't
have a job, you can get paid provided you are looking for a job. I'm a student,
and I get paid to study. If I had to pay rent though, I would just barely have
money for materials - I wouldn't be able to buy my lunches at the university, or
buy other things I need. So it is affordable, but I think it can be
better.
Lol true true :3 Well I needed the cash because I wanted to "earn" my
first digital camera (blasphemy, I do architecture and I still don't have a
digital camera - well
only on my phone, but the quality's terrible). I guess I can always save up.
Haha remember how I said I was going overseas and said I was saving up? I don't
know what happened to the money..
Thanks! After those two subjects though, I get to be on holiday for another
month and a half

I have a Learners Licence which means I can drive on the road and learn. There
is a condition though that you MUST have your teacher in the passenger seat.
After that you get a real licence (provisional licence) and you can go wherever
you want by yourself.

next year? That's weird... Architecture's only 3 years there? Wow... here it's
around 4-5 years I think. Well... yeah but, lectures are still different from
the "real" work, ne?
Oh I see... I thought you can drive there even without a license! so
you're gonna apply first for the Learners License, pass the condition, and
finally be able to get the real license. That's CooL! So you can be with your
teacher anytime you want, am I right? I mean, of course if you have some free
time... or is there any schedule to meet up?
No prob, ! Just a question though... is it around 4 minutes long?
Thanks... and hope you're doing well, too! Oh yeah, Ephie's birthday is today,
November 15th!
Oh yeah, welcome back! Hahaha...
Yeah because originally it's 5 years for a Bachelor of Architecture. Just this
year they decided to make it a 3 year bachelor of Architectural Studies PLUS a 2
year Masters program. Because apparently in the States and England it's like
that, and they want us to be more "internationally" consistent. I have
to study for 5 years if I want to be an architect anyway, because the 3 yr
Bachelor doesn't give you recognition as a potential architect. So it's 5 years
but I graduate after 3 By
then I'd be a postgrad... wow!
I have the learner's licence now... just I have to keep the learner license for
6 months (which I have) and drive 50 hours. They gave me a little book with all
the things I need to master (like roundabouts and stuff like that) and then they
will take me on the road for a test. I haven't mastered half of the stuff in the
book yet, and I haven't done anywhere near 20 hours. So yeah :P
My teacher is actually my mum or my dad. (Anyone with a full licence can teach
you) So it's usually if they're free, or if they force me to :P
Yup the song is around 4 minutes long
OH DANG I MISSED IT.

Wow... if that happens, maybe you'll graduate first before me. that
sucks! Kuri's gonna be "international" after the Masters, hahaha!
Please don't forget me... ^_____________^ *big smiles* treat me for a ramen
after your graduation, okay? well,
good thing though... I don't have to go with the licensure exam like you,
hehehe! I may go with the Master's Degree 1-2 years after I graduate. I may be
working by then... small salary, big job responsibilities!
A question, if you haven't finished the 50 hours requirement and your Learner's
License expires... you just have to apply for another one? There's still plenty
of time, school's pretty tough, ne? You I guess you can finish the requirement
this coming break of yours, ne? Or is it already your break? So your parents are
you teacher, huh? I thought it'll be someone from a driving school or
sumthin'...

ne? Shinya's better than Toshiya! I'm a Shinya fan now...
Well I'll be graduating next year. And that is only if everyone goes well and
that I pass everything.
I won;t be fully international - just I have the option if i choose to be
hahah working will be fun!
The licence lasts for 3 years, so yes after the 3 years you have to reapply. I
don't think it'll take me that long - I'll take the test probably in early
January (earliest) or March (the latest).
Yep it's already my break... third week of holidays I get
4 months off lol. Wow I've been off for nearly a month
Teachers from driving schools are VERY expensive. And by expensive I mean $60 an
hour. Which means to finish the whole 50 hours you will need to pay $3000 even
if you don't pass!
I only get $6000 a year, so if half goes to driving, I won't survive D: Like I
mean, I spend more than the average University student. I print more than others
(A1 is damn expensive!), materials, transport. Sure, commerce people complain
about a $500 textbook (we don't have textbooks), but we still do buy books for
references etc... sigh. And food And
the shockingly long phone calls we make to chase people up D:

Haha yeah I had no sleep But
funnily enough I'm not sleepy or tired. The last time I did this I couldn't keep

Yeah I haven't gotten it. Because you have to do a minimum of 50 hours on the
road, but all the projects get in the way so there's no way I have the time to
fulfil the hours. But since the holidays are coming I should hopefully be able
to get my licence by the end of the year
I'm looking forward to the beach The

to pay together cuz 1) discount 2) security- you're going on a holiday TOGETHER
so you should pay together... but yeah I was told to put the money in a BANK
ACCOUNT. So my parents didn't let me. That was ... just a really stupid way of
paying for air tickets... esp when I haven't even seen where my ticket is yet.

Quote by AkaikenVolcanoes? Gee... it sure
does makes you so... I don't know! well, I tried tasting coffee once and after that... yuck! no more
coffee for me. Having one, and well, if too much... I dun want to have a nervous
breakdown.
Thought so... I forgive you if you give me a present this sunday, so yeah!
I haven't heard Diru's new song, actually. Not even the sample song... well,
I'll just check it out if there's one now. And about Laruku, I don't think it's
next month cuz they already released the single "DAYBREAK'S BELL" this
month. And I think you already know this, too, but they also released "MY
HEART DRAWS A DREAM" last August. Sheez... I dun know why all the song
titles are in all caps. even "SEVENTH HEAVEN" is one... (see, I even did it in all caps)
Kaboodle? Well... doesn't matter. Yeah, that's just plain stupid. oh
well... I guess you better just think of other plans for the holidays. Why not
tour the whole of Australia? after
all, you can drive all your way, hehehe!
EDIT:
Downloaded Diru's "Dozing Green". I guess I'll just send it on your
email if you want. You want? You want?
EDIT:
Wow... you're right. They'll gonna release another single next month, which is
"Hurry Xmas" and an album entitled "KISS". Wow... a
Christmas song single and an album, that's so damn CooL! crap,
I want one...
My oh my... silly me of course it's your birthday. Jak's birthday is also at the
same time-ish too! I forgot because it seemed like your birthday didn't go past
all that long... I have no sense of time
Haha yeah still, I haven't touched any new music. I'm still listening to
Laruku's SMILE album and that was like what, 2, 3 years ago? O__O I am SERIOUSLY
living in the past
Well I haven't gotten my licence yet... and I don't think I want to drive around
Australia in OUR car. It's a really old car model. Like I mean it's not bad
because it's like one of those cars EVERYONE has... you see plenty of them on
the road, but it's just so outdated
And yeah. We're planning on changing the car... and if we do I don't think I'd
even dare to drive around in a new car D:
I think I might go some place camping. Hopefully NOT bushwalking. Insects like
me so yeah. I'd rather go to a beach or sandy island. I hate tanning and
swimming, but it's better than getting tired from camping with all the flies and
crap. And the good thing about beaches that there is ALWAYS a cafe nearby I
might be able to go somewhere... just a few days. Maybe 2-3 days. Maybe we can
even get to rent a beachhouse if we have about 10 people. Makes things easier.
But anyway, that's that :P
happy Birthday for tomorrow! I'm so sorry ... I'm just delusional

Nope, it probably hit another part of Sydney. I live close to the coast, so we rarely get any hail. The last time we had a major hail storm was 10 years ago. Most of the time when they say hail in Sydney, they really mean the inner areas
PS: I will reply your previous post soon... just a little pressed for time X_X
Haha, true. :P Hum, I don't remember quite well, but the SM mall around Angeles City and Manila.
Really? That's cool, once I go back, I'll check it out, wonder if it's bigger
than the biggest mall in my place. I know another mall in Canada around Alberta,
and it's known that is the biggest since there's like Roller Coasters in and
such. :/ Yeah I love the weather in the Philippines, it's as you said not too
cold not too hot. Ahh true, since it's tropical, it should happen. Eeek, guess
it went that much as an effect of global warming, :/
Canada, is okay, it's fun and all but the problem is the temperature. When it's too cold, it's very very cold, freezing like crazy. Though the houses and building has heaters so it's okay. The summer can become very humid here also, haha. xD Either way the fun thing of Canada is when we celebrate Holidays, there's lots of activities offered everywhere sometimes for free organized by some stores. Very fun! The education though it's high, always changes and I don't like it when it changes. xD
Oops here I am replying you 1 wk and a day later
Lol yep, it's been a while since I've actually browsed mt
True. But either way I guess it's because parents nowadays doesn't have time to teach their kids the most valuable language. I basically learned the Filipino language through basic hearing and asking few questions, but most basic hearing, my parents tried teaching me when I was young but apparently i got confused that time, now i'm able to understand it. :/ It's a bummer though, it's like the Filipino language is fading from the society that's out of the Philippines.
Salamat. 
Cool, check it out one day, maraming nako ng hmk recently.
xD

Yeah at some places it is fading. In my area where I live though, young Filipino's are willing to learn. Japanese, complicated naman! I know few words but it's basic only, like Konnichiwa, and others haha. Just listening and/or reading takes a load of time to actually understand. Hum Taglish over there? Here I understand if I were to speak Taglish since most young ones are still in process of learning. But it's sad, the more it fades the more it'll be like a past thing and instead Tagalog would be Taglish. Haha, it's okay.
merged: 12-14-2007 ~ 06:03am
True, I find that the Filipino language is a mix of everything-ish. Like a bit of Spanish, English, French a bit. Like mais it's the same thing in French. :P Multilingual is so awesome.
Haha
true true because there's like an accent in the Filipino words because it isn't
mastered yet. :P True, I guess it's a fit in thing. Like trying to be like
everyone else. Yeap, visited the Philippines 3 times. First when I was super
young so I don't remember one thing and the 2 others around 2000 it's soo fun!
The SM malls are big! Maybe not compared to one mall I know here but huge naman,
I was impressed! The rains over there is different than where I live. When it
rains here it's pretty light unless it's a thunder storm, very scary at some
point. xD In the Philippines, I love the rain there and the sun so warm. 
It's
winter right now, too much snow, too cold it's crazy! 
... oh yeah. I forgot about those kinds of people. They work hard to show off their good marks. I nearly forgot they existed ROFL.
Hmmm I don't think we have any State Unis. Well, I go to the University of New South Wales. It's a very good university (one of the best - but then there are only a few that fit into that category) but I don't really know if it's Govt owned or not. I know that since we all pay our fees, the Uni does a good job keeping itself neat. We always have a building under construction each year, too. Yeah, of course :3 I need to get rid of my bad time management
35mm film cameras are nice but you have to buy the film and process it - worse still, you have to scan the photos in if you want them digital. Call me lazy, but I'd rather plug in my camera and get the photos, resize them however I want and print them out. Also with 35mm film, you don't know the result until you get the photos from the photo guy. With a digital one you can check if it's blurry, keep it or delete it. Then you don't have to take the same photo twice.
Well I was just gonna change it back to the Chen Shu Fen one... the only other avatar I've used. Just because I liked it.
Lol well thanks to you both anyway - I've changed the memory settings and it seems a lot better. I'd rather Photoshop be a little slower than having my computer slice itself.
Haha, sry. :P Marunong ko mag tagalog but very little capable of understanding though. Nope, my parents did, i'm born in Canada, straight up! Haha
Yeah, I know it's for recognition, but it's useless in our course anyway :P Before everyone wanted HD averages to get into Honours, but there are no Honours for the new program. I'm happy with just my DN average let alone a HD average @_@ Crazy people.
Hmmm that is quite affordable. At University our lecturer calculated that it was what, $80 an hour for each student just to sit in a lecture!? Crazy. That's why I never wanted to skip them. I eventually had to, though. Too much work, and a day is too short to sit for a lecture.
Lol I have several bank accounts
I am planning to get the camera but only if it's cheaper, because I will
still need a memory stick. If the camera uses any old memory stick, then it'll
be much cheaper for me (SONY memory sticks are like $80, but you can get the
same thing for less than half the price from another company). I'm waiting to
see if there are any more sales. I don't want my dad to buy it for me... he
bought me one of those 35mm film cameras a while ago, but I never used it. Why I
didn't get a digital camera then? Because I had no USB Hub on my old computer...
and now I have this one... it has 5 hubs 
Sigh.
I think our uni is doing it out of spite. There was the other uni (University of Sydney) - they start later and ended earlier. Now, our uni will start even later than them and earlier than them. I just hope they don't give us the same workload as a 14 week semester - we'd all die.
Lol okay okay
I won't change it... yet...
I'll try to fiddle around the settings
More
than likely it's probably because it's hot and the computer's heating up, so the
fans go mad. But it's particularly bad when I do stuff like zooming in, even
using a brush on Photoshop - then I'm not sure where the sound comes from. Maybe
burning the RAM? Perhaps it's the drive as you suggested. Ah well, it'll fix
itself 
Thanks~!
Salamat Kuya for the welcome!
Lol you'll probably graduate on time
Noodles lol. *emails them to you* hahaha
Yeah, it's almost 7 days a week because they say that we should be spending "48 hours" OUTSIDE of Uni on just design. That's the entire weekend without sleeping! We go to Uni 5 days a week and we've got other subjects to tackle. By their definition, the only way to pass is to not eat and not sleep D:?!
Haha nope. Living here used to be affordable. Now it's not. It's gotten to the point that it's impossible to buy your own home
Inflation is so bad that back when milk was like $2, it's now nearly $4.
Well I decided to not take the job because my friend disappeared on me
I'm
assuming the job got taken and he's in hiding because he made me make a resume
and everything. Not that I mind - I don't really need a job, and I needed a mock
resume anyway for the future.
I'll be going to uni early in mid-January to do some general subjects. It's compulsory that we do 4 random subjects before we graduate. If we don't, we can't graduate until we do. It's gonna be a looong summer
merged: 12-09-2007 ~ 08:51am
Lol, >__<!
Haha yeah, studying sucks u_u Well, it doesn't because you learn, but it sucks when you have to do sooo much for so little
I don't get why people work so super hard... it's meaningless in the end 
Well, it's affordable here because we have good social welfare. If you don't have a job, you can get paid provided you are looking for a job. I'm a student, and I get paid to study. If I had to pay rent though, I would just barely have money for materials - I wouldn't be able to buy my lunches at the university, or buy other things I need. So it is affordable, but I think it can be better.
Lol true true :3 Well I needed the cash because I wanted to "earn" my first digital camera (blasphemy, I do architecture and I still don't have a digital camera
- well
only on my phone, but the quality's terrible). I guess I can always save up.
Haha remember how I said I was going overseas and said I was saving up? I don't
know what happened to the money.. 
Thanks! After those two subjects though, I get to be on holiday for another month and a half
Kk naman po, Ken-sempai
I'm quite having fun. Dami q narin nakilala na ppl d2
Thanks for dropping by...hehehe
E kw? Mzta ka na? Hope you're doing fine over there
Eheh well not really ^^' But yeah you'll graduate
I get
to graduate next year now. They changed it *o* Lol but you won't screw up 
You
did a great job during work experience, right? 
I have a Learners Licence which means I can drive on the road and learn. There is a condition though that you MUST have your teacher in the passenger seat. After that you get a real licence (provisional licence) and you can go wherever you want by yourself.
Thanks for the mp3! It sounds pretty good
Hope you're doing well lately
merged: 11-16-2007 ~ 12:26pm
Yeah because originally it's 5 years for a Bachelor of Architecture. Just this year they decided to make it a 3 year bachelor of Architectural Studies PLUS a 2 year Masters program. Because apparently in the States and England it's like that, and they want us to be more "internationally" consistent. I have to study for 5 years if I want to be an architect anyway, because the 3 yr Bachelor doesn't give you recognition as a potential architect. So it's 5 years but I graduate after 3
By
then I'd be a postgrad... wow!
I have the learner's licence now... just I have to keep the learner license for 6 months (which I have) and drive 50 hours. They gave me a little book with all the things I need to master (like roundabouts and stuff like that) and then they will take me on the road for a test. I haven't mastered half of the stuff in the book yet, and I haven't done anywhere near 20 hours. So yeah :P
My teacher is actually my mum or my dad. (Anyone with a full licence can teach you) So it's usually if they're free, or if they force me to :P
Yup the song is around 4 minutes long
OH DANG I MISSED IT.

Well I'll be graduating next year. And that is only if everyone goes well and that I pass everything.
hahah working will be fun!
I won;t be fully international - just I have the option if i choose to be
The licence lasts for 3 years, so yes after the 3 years you have to reapply. I don't think it'll take me that long - I'll take the test probably in early January (earliest) or March (the latest).
Yep it's already my break... third week of holidays
I get
4 months off lol. Wow I've been off for nearly a month 
Teachers from driving schools are VERY expensive. And by expensive I mean $60 an hour. Which means to finish the whole 50 hours you will need to pay $3000 even if you don't pass!
And
the shockingly long phone calls we make to chase people up D:
I only get $6000 a year, so if half goes to driving, I won't survive D: Like I mean, I spend more than the average University student. I print more than others (A1 is damn expensive!), materials, transport. Sure, commerce people complain about a $500 textbook (we don't have textbooks), but we still do buy books for references etc... sigh. And food

*thinks of getting a packet of 2 minute noodles for you 
*
Haha yes, but it's a well deserved holiday... I had to go to uni almost 7 days a week... and we only had a week holiday in the middle. Argh
Yeah, the driving lessons are far too expensive
I just got a phone call from a friend asking me if I want to tutor maths, but
I'm not sure what grade maths it is... if I can get some extra cash that'd be
good :P Like last year, I managed to get some cash for making that website 
Toshiya is better mwahahahahahah he's so pretty u___u
Hi Ken-senpai!
Thanks for adding me
TC u always!
~Pink-chan~
Haha yeah I had no sleep
But
funnily enough I'm not sleepy or tired. The last time I did this I couldn't keep
my eyes open 
Yeah I haven't gotten it. Because you have to do a minimum of 50 hours on the road, but all the projects get in the way so there's no way I have the time to fulfil the hours. But since the holidays are coming I should hopefully be able to get my licence by the end of the year
I'm looking forward to the beach
The
last time I went (as in in summer and actually wanting to go) there was
sandstorm 
I'm sorry I wasn't around on the Internet at the time of your birthday~ but I hope you had a really happy belated birthday
*gives you a bomb...er... cake*

Ahhh I see. Well uh yeah sorry I don't remember ._.
Yeah I'll have to go check it out... I haven't downloaded music for a very long time... just haven't had the time to. I know Laruku is releasing next month and is having a tour in December. SO DAMN COOL
