my first 10mins of photoshop ... ever :D

i'm soooooo tired. I've spent the whole weekend plus today working non-stop on an assignment, and now I have to work on a presentation and I feel so burnt out. But each of these excruciating tasks lead you to a discovery.... this time round I have discovered Irish coffee .... mmmmmmm *yummy* Over the past months I have rediscovered my passion for coffee and chocolate-covered coffee beans *slobber slobber slobber* (makes a mind note to remind my beautiful cuddly guy ;D to bring some of the heavenly stuff). Moreover, a couple of weeks ago the family of my better half got back to the island, and his mother sent me this divine chocolate cookies .... aaa i cannot make them justice with my description. Now i've adopted her as my fairy godmother *childish grin*

neeeeway, while my brain was furiously protesting during these last couple of days, i've decided to use up the time and play a bit around with photoshop. it's been lying there on my pc for ages but i had never tried using it, and so to reduce my frustration i tried to create a couple of season's greetings to send to my friends. I have also done one appositely for this blog, and for anyone who decides to look at this space. hope you'll like it. well i guess that's all for now, take care my dear reader, have a wonderful festive season (even if you are a student with loads of assignments to write up, and forthcoming exams waiting on the doorstep, try to enjoy the most possible), and celebrate responsibly :o)

Luke and Menrick - forever in our memory

2 years have already passed from the tragic death of Luke Cassar and Menrick Yeomens - but one thing is sure, they will always live in our hearts with their radiant personalities.

I hope that I will never have to cry as much as that day for the rest of my life!!

Rest in peace guys, we shall never forget

This is Luke and Menrick's tribute site

...a failed attempt to 'warm-up' me mind

umm.... actually I don't know what to write, it's not that there isn't anything to rant on about, but I don't feel like it ...it's just the need to do something instead of writing assignments. I should be happy because I've managed to stay up all night (without dozing off) to go over the books and articles I will be using as references, and somehow I've managed to break past the barrier of the weirdly constructed sentences and paragraphs heavily laden with hidden meanings. Yep, you've read right ... I've managed to do that quite well (well, at least I'm convinced I have managed). Oh Lord, come to think of it, I have written far too many 'I've managed' in the above sentences :/ Well I guess I can call that my writers block, aka bullshit-your-way-to-get-good-grades-strategy.

weell, I guess I'm off to have a nap, and then maybe I'll have enough energy (otherwise I'll get it from the coffee) to make myself write something coherent from the anything-but-coherent sources.

ps: apologies for repeating the same words over and over again ..... guess my mind has decided to go on the summer shutdown, or it's just one of the may university side effects - constipated mind

as nella puts it: Can't wait for batman day!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaarghhh!! How I hate the University of Malta!!! What's the use of having a secretary if she does not know how to do anything and asks the factotum, who in return asks fellow students to contact you? And what is the use of filling all those forms, and the CSC developing the esims, if the bloody secretary has to phone you up (by using the method above mentioned) just to obtain your freeaakin' email address?!?!?!!!! It's honestly getting on my nerves - I really would like to know how these bunch of dimwits get employed... then again maybe it's for a purpose - to train us students when dealing with government employees, such as the fellow at the ID Cards, I mentioned last time.

I was going through the pics from London, and found the one's of my brother's graduation. Even when I see the pictures my heart swells with pride :) So now I'm trying to think positive - within 15months I will be like him; as my friend puts it - parading around in batman's clothes. In between studing for the finals, practising some of my hobbies and spending my time with my buddies, time should pass relatively quickly. And then come June, I'll say farewell to all, pack my rucksack and go anywhere away from this island for at least a month - and try to detoxify my memory of the anything-but-professional secretaries, lost-in-space lecturers and highly irritating fellow students.



Ps: I'm not a grumpy person, even though some of the blogs render that idea. But I like to exercise my right of complaining about the stupid things that I meet in everyday life - too much pressure can crack the shell.
I apologize if I'm giving the wrong impression of myself and irritating the crap out of you

...man

Today I didn't feel like working again after wasting a whole morning because some stupid employee at the ID Cards office doesn't know the correct procedure and sent us to the other side of the city uselessly. Anyway that's a long story. As I said I didn't feel like working and browsed some blogs and I found this one, which I reaallyyyy liked.

Hsejjes Innocenti: Plagerism or what?: "

'I don't need a man:
To survive
To cook for me
To take care of me
To show me what affection is
To change the electirc bulb for me (?)
To tell me how to dream
To globe trek with me
To help me find my way(literally and metaphorically speaking)

I need one:
To fall in love
To take me on bike rides
To shop with me for electronic stuff
To accompany me to the places where I don't have the courage to go alone
To enjoy a good book or film together
To tell me I am awesome (*grin*)
To laugh with me

If I fall in love with him, then he becomes my ideal mate.If he falls in love with me, as well.
Then probably you will find me on the top level of Maslow's pyramid or attained the bloody Nirvana.'"


.....however, even though it states that I don't need a man for those things, I really wouldn't mind if he cooks for me, takes care of me and treks the globe with me, hehe ;)

the eyes, the smiles, the glances ~ for the person who inspires such words

I'm no poet, but I've written this on impulse and felt like posting this. I hope that the person for whom it's intended enjoys it. Love you sweet ;)


Do you remember the eyes, the smiles,
the glances?
The hours spent in each others company,
waiting,
trying to find an ounce of courage to slightly open the gateways behind which our emotions eagerly waited?

And then, when you said those words,
the dams broke,
flooding our souls with these sweet feelings.
And all the ifs and buts,
all the how and whys,
vanished in thin air.

And now the stolen glances became lingering,
and the shy smile became radiant,
making the eyes sparkle with such splendor as if there is a wild fire within.

Ours is a meeting of hearts,
a meeting of souls,
a slow beautiful waltz,
and as the gown turns around, fairy dust seems to escape from it
and it floats in the air around us,
like a wind blown scarf,
adding luster to our otherwise dull lives.
