The third time I'll be saying this to you, hehehe!

Meri Kuri... ;)

Thanks Ran!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

Hopefully you don't blow up too many things... XD

Errr... I meant school works. ^_^' anyways, glad your exams are over. Those sure are mind-torturing, hehehe!

Yeah! Passion cannot be earned that easily. Exploring is really great. You'll eventually learn more and more things every time you do it and of course, your knowledge from things will get more and more. That's good to hear. Yeah... and on top of that, she doesn't know how to take opinions. Yup, that's true. It'll help you see things in a broader way... :)

Indeed, mind-torture all the waay! I though I wouldn't survive, I'm like noo, not again. xD

Opinions rules! :D Haha. :)

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas Kuya, dunno if I'm late since it's just the 24th here. xD :D

Good... hehehe! Me plano ka na para sa Pasko at Bagong Taon?

Ganyan talaga, 3rd year ka na eh. Pagdating mo naman ng 4th year, medyo na lang. Oh? Lam ko sa UP yun eh. Kala ko alam mo...

Aba... eto nga yun. Pero ang alam ko, meron ring binibigay na CD Installers dyan sa school mo.

Well... sabihan na lang kita later. Pero it's more in hardware and software kasi yun. :)


Merry Christmas, Ken! :D Musta naman ang Pasko mo ngayon? :)

Hmmm... punta lang ako sa mga kamag-anak sa Pasko. Sa Bagong Taon sa bahay lang ako. Ikaw?

Sabi ni fjdreyes, sa Computer Center daw meron nung installer nung Open Office. Kaya lang magdala ka daw ng CD para dun i-burn. Tanong ka na rin sa iba para sigurado. Subukan ko rin magtanong sa iba. ;)

Now that's treasuring memories... :)

Yeah... I really pity those people. I understand them cuz it's to help their own families, but it's not the only way to earn money. Filipinos... always want to earn cash as fast as they can. Tsk tsk tsk... -_-
That's good for you. That way, you'll learn more than what you learned at school. Experience is really better than just plain study.

Good... ;) I hope to see you on the group.

Oh yeah, Happy Holidays btw... :D

Hehe :D

Haha, true, most Filipino's wants to earn quick cash, since it's like an important factor towards life but either way, it's best to put priority helping to heal then money though. Yup yup experience rules, haha. :P

Happy Holidays to you to. :)

So haven't got much work lately?

Well... true. Most Filipinos want to earn quick, and it sometimes pisses me off. I really salute those people who took up those what they really like, not just for earning cash in the future. Earning cash is a part of life, but enjoying your job most... that's one thing you can't earn that quick. There's this girl here on MT (well... I talked with her only twice). She told me she'll take up a computer course and after she graduate, she'll work overseas just to earn. Geez... she got pissed off when I told her that I don't agree about working for money. I told her that enjoying ones job is better than working for the purpose of salary. It's just my opinion, but she got pissed and told me that I don't know her. Of course I don't know her and besides, can't she accept opinions? She got off the topic, ne? ^_^'

Work? Haha, me no work, I'd end up loosing some of my awesome school grades. xD Vacation for me started so I'm pretty relaxed and soo glad, had so much exams last week. xD

True true. I'd love to admire those who work for their passion and not just to earn. I mean, I love learning how to heal people and I also love exploring electronics stuff. :D I'll be a nurse for to heal and help others, not for cash. Lots of people tho wants just the cash, I mean hello, one mistake you make when your a nurse that's just thinking about cash, cost a lot. That's how I see it. :P Eeek, just to earn? That's sad just putting money priority from a job. :[ A job is to enjoy lang, there might have some days that it'll be depressing but it's something that's enjoying. :] Haha, off topic naman. :P Opinions are great, it's very helpful to take a small consideration into it. :)

Naks naman, galeng ng prof nyo, hahaha! Well... kami rin eh. Busy nga ako ngayon sa Feasibility Study namin. Nga pala, di ba libre lang pagkuha ng OpenOffice dyan sa UP? Bigay ka naman ng mga info saken about computers kasi Internet Cafe yung business na ginagawa namin sa Feasib eh... thanks in advance!

Okay lang din ako.

Dami nga namin work ngayon eh. Hindi ko alam kung saan makakakuhan nung libreng CD pang-install nung OpenOffice...

Pero eto ba yun?

Quote by AkaikenLOL... you, busy almost everyday... of course you won't notice those peepz. And besides, it's just a waste of time to understand them, hehehe! XD

Hmm... unlike grade school and high school, state unis are "almost" free (you still need to pay tuition fees and miscellaneous expenses). If your uni's tuition fee is lower than some regular universities there, I guess it's subsidized by the government. You're lucky you got some good facilities there. T_T our uni only working on the external environment these days (the outer image of the school to be exact). Well... the uni president is making our uni a lil bit "commercialized". I kinda understand him, though... in order to get more budget for the uni (cuz the stupid government's making our budget lower and lower, >=(). Oh well... hehehe! You know, you can start by writing your sched on a pocket notebook. It's a good start... you're already good on saving some money (with regards to your bank accounts, hehehe! I'm not good at saving money, budgeting... I'm better) so I guess you can do it, too! ;)

Got a point... it's not like the digital camera, who you can see the output in a flash. Digital cameras sure come in handy, especially in courses like architecture. Hmm... I guess it's fine if you have both, hehehe! You can have a spare if one is broken. :nya:

Oh... you mean the girl one? It's good, too, but I still like your current avvy, hehehe! I know... just change it when New Year comes?

Hahaha... yeah! Jak already told you this, ne? He's using Photoshop 7 on his Pentium II and it was like AGES before a high quality pic or large pics load. I'm a witness on that, hehehe!

Btw, CooL new page layout. Just a question, though... what's those lines on the uppermost right. You did that on purpose?

Hmm yeah. I guess it's gotten to the point where it's like "as long as I get my work done, just don't think about others" ... kinda sad. It's because we have no time to help others :\ It's not that we don't care and won't care. It's just... we are too busy finishing what we're doing :S Oh well. Hope it gets better next semester.

Ah. Well our University's not cheaper than the others. The only way it's subsidised is that we (citizens) get a Govt loan for school fees and we pay them later on when we start working and if our income is over a certain amount per year. I'm pretty sure that the prices for all the universities are similar - but obviously the more popular the University is, the higher you pay. I'm sure I'm paying more than those people going to a University further away.
I get what you mean... lower Govt subsidisation sucks. I remember my high school - it's not crap, but you can tell some faculties are really hitting it hard (like the PE one... we rarely got new sport equipment. Guys school was different... they had to pick up our old computer we chuck out to use cuz they spent their money on sporting equipment >_>). Recently they sent me this thing in the mail cuz they're building an examination centre to make studying better for the people and the minimum donation was a whopping $200. Seriously, I'm not even studying there.. geez..

Haha yep true. I got the camera. Happy for me. Then I found out this other girl who studies with me got the same model at like the same time when I bought it :\ Hope she gets a different colour or it'll get confusing...

Yeah that one :) I guess I might wait a bit, huh?

Yeah... the problem with this userpage is that there are so many lines. I tried it without the lines and it looked weird. But then when you put them there the template kind of repeats it across and makes it look out of place. I think I am going to change my userpage soon after new year. The colours are better for my eyes... grey was getting boring :\

And yep, Sydney's pretty large. We have north, south, east and west so it's not just a city... it's really a region :\ The real Sydney "Sydney" City is the city itself - that is the harbour and CBD.

And yeah, sorry again about the late reply. I had to do all sorts of stuff for my parents D:

Ken, kamusta?

Bakasyon na namin ngayon. Pero may "maagang pamasko" teacher namin. Kaya daming kailangang gawin kahit ngayong bakasyon. Pero okay lang sa akin, para naman hindi ako ma-bored ngayong Christmas break. hehehe :D

Yeah... that's right. It's really a pity... but yes, everyone is making a change, in their own little way. Wow... taking pictures for a portfolio, huh? That's good... to have some memories. ;)

I see... well, that's good. It's not about the money, but for the sake of helping others. I pity most nursing students here in the Philippines nowadays. They study hard for 4 years, get a licensure exam, and go overseas to work. *sigh* it's all just for money. I understand if it's for helping their families, but to go that far... I just don't understand. Oh well... ^_^' why work somewhere else?

Btw, I recommend you to make an introduction thread in the forums. That way... most peepz here will see you, and even make friends with. :)

Yep, portfolio for me to remember. :)

Y'ouch, 4yrs. Here, it's 3yrs plus the license exam. Overseas, wow, so many money wasted then. xD I wonder why they think about money when nursing is for to help others that is wounded. I'd like to work somewhere else for a change, to explore and learn more, it'll be fun, the more experience, the more the knowledge. :D

Haha, I'll do so once it's holidays, since it's more fun and relax. :]

Oh... might go visit SM Megamall as well. Most SM Malls in Metro are good, :). Oh yeah, SM Malls are not the only good malls around here. There's Glorietta, Powerplant Mall, Gateway, etc. You'll see more interesting malls here when you visit again, ;). Hahaha... Philippines is really a great country. So many beautiful places around here. I'm just a poor person so I can't afford to travel but I wanna go see the hotspots here, hehehe!

Tuition fees here also rise every year. It happens all the time, hehehe! So there're many activities there on holidays, huh? That's CooL... guess it's fun living there.

Cool, I'll keep that in mind when I go back. It'll be fun window shopping in Malls. :) Ahh, one day you'll be able to travel since it's the funnest thing ever. :D Hehe, hotspots, I wanna find one one day, haha. xD

Yeap! :) Like a big christmas parade, there's like cartoon characters, carols and such. Easter it's like find the egg game everywhere, haha. Etc. :P :D It's fun living in Canada but sometimes I so wish to live in someplace warm when it winter. xD

Hahaha... you like to go malling? XD yeah, I hope so... I really wanna travel around, hehehe! There're so many tourist spots here. Examples are the Banaue Rice Terraces, Boracay beach, Palawan, Mt. Apo, Chocolate Hills (in Bohol), etc. Might as well see some pics of those places in the net. ;)

I see... it's CooL. It's so nice to have fun there, ne? Hmm... why don't you live here for a change? XD maybe you'll like it here more...

Yeap, just window shopping though since I don't want to buy unnecessary items. xD Oh cool, I remember I went to a thousand islands or whatever it's soo fun! :D

Haha, maybe one day, once I finish my studies. :P

Hahaha... yeah, you'll get broke if you just buy and buy without even thinking what might happen on your money. Wow... Thousand Islands? That's sooo damn CooL! It is located in Pangasinan, on the northern part of Luzon. That's really... WOW! XD

Ooooh... so you're a freshman there, ne?

Indeed. Yeap yeap that's the one! :D Haha. :)

Not really. I'm in a senior year in High School. The amount of years in High School in the province I live in is 5. [1-2-3yr Junior] [4yr Freshman] [5yr Senior]. Going to College next yr. xD

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! XD 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. :D 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! :D

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

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. :D 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! :hmpf: 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* :nya:

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? XD 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?) X-P

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? XD XD XD

... 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! :nya:

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! XD

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... :nerd:

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! X-P 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~!

Geez... I thought that living there is cheap, hehehe! XD hmm... I guess if that math is something you're good at, might as well accept the job, ;).

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 >_<

Quote by AkaikenI really do hope so... making a feasibility study is really a hard job to do. XD
Already emailed? Err... just ship it here, I'll give you my address, hahaha!

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! XD
Hahahah... geez, I'd rather fail than not to eat and sleep! x_x

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"! XD don't really need a job? But I thought you want to earn cash? o_0 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 X-P

...wow! That's the power of being the Wizard of Darkness... errr... Archi student. XD well, sembreak's over for me and I got 2days of classes on the 2nd sem. I hope I graduate soon. I still don't know if I'll go get a lil experience here before working overseas. Maybe I'll just work overseas after I graduate. Hope I don't screw up... >_<

Minimum of 50hrs on the road? Errr... You won't gonna be caught up even if you don't have a license yet? Weird... o_0 well, just wishing you the best for you to get your license! ;)

Ouch... that really hurts. But I guess the weather's going to be on your side this time. :)

Nah... it's okay. Thanks so much...

And yeah, I'd prefer the bomb, hehehe! XD

Good thing Jak failed on his diabolical "idea"! *evil laughs*

Eheh well not really ^^' But yeah you'll graduate :D 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? :D

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 :D

Hope you're doing well lately :)

Quote by AkaikenYou'll gonna graduate 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! XD 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! XD

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 :D 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.
I'd better scurry over to her page and bid her Happy Bday!

Quote by AkaikenKURI! XD

Me ish soooo happy... I downloaded Laruku's KISS album! XD

zomg it's out?!

merged: 11-27-2007 ~ 10:36am

Quote by AkaikenYeah... well, if you want to download it, I can give you the link. :)

I also borrowed Jak's DVD of the AWAKE Tour, well, he just downloaded and burned it in a DVD though...

Can't wait for the guitar this December, though, it's only an acoustic one. I'll definitely learn how to play it! *burns up*

Yeah I've already downloaded it :) Great album!


Quote by Akaiken
Wow... if that happens, maybe you'll graduate first before me. T_T 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? XD 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'...

^_^' I thought it's around 2 minutes. Phew... well, Dozing Green sure is good, ne? XD Shinya's better than Toshiya! I'm a Shinya fan now... X-P

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 :D 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 T_T And the shockingly long phone calls we make to chase people up D:

Nopes, Toshiya is still the prettiest and ze best >w<

Why does Laruku does some great songs! T_T

Lol they are ALL great XD

But if you don't have any problems then you will graduate on time! T_T still have some problems on one of my subjects. Well, but you can still be international, hehehe! Don't forget my ramen, okay? ;)

I see... and it's coming closer and closer!

4 months? That one heck of a long holiday! My longest is only 2 months... XD

Ouch... that's very expensive indeed. If I will convert $60 to my local currency, it's 2400, ouch, so much for my allowance for the whole year, hehehe! College is really shocking and expensive, that's for sure...

Shinya is the best! X-P he's totally the best, I merely want to kiss you... errr... him! XD XD XD

Hehe yep, I hope that it'll go to plan :) Ahhh well you'll get through that, no problem! Haha yeah I'll try >_> *thinks of getting a packet of 2 minute noodles for you X-P*

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 XD

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 X-P

Toshiya is better mwahahahahahah he's so pretty u___u
