SMILEY FACES ON EM!!! HA!
Oh.
Annyway, they're cool. THERE WILL BE PICTURES. On the topic of supermarts, Abi and I had a heated discussion over Metro being a form of supermarkets. I was like NO Metro is NOT a supermart but she claimed it WAS cos there was AIRCON. HA! But I said hell no it isn't and of course, I claimed myself the winner. Then got into another laughing fit over something she said and I DIED in Cold Storage. Or NTUC. Or Shop n save. Nevertheless, some form of supermart. We were both at the frozen section, trying to choose food to bring over to Rae's place for the Halloween Party when it happen and I collapsed to the ground in laughter which was danging hilarious and in the midst of all that laughter, Abi just strolled away, in a lousy attempt to pretend to not to know me. Oh the shame when I stood up, still laughing, only to find that I was kinda laughing by myself which thus portrayed me as nothing but a....
What's that word?......
Oh yes. LUNATIC.
Well moving on. Got the food and am now home. And will proceed to discuss the various THINGS that people are going to the party. Abi- Paris Hilton! Which is really cool, she got a bunch of tacky rings and other stuff including fake lashes to pull this "am i pretty? am I pretty?" look off. HA! Dode- Drag queen Hitler! 'Tis amusing. Saw the moustache! She brought it to school today and the jocks were all over it. Rae- No one knows. She's keeping it a secret. So is Din and Sonia P and a whole bunch of other people. Well! But it'll be fun. The last time I went to Halloween, I was just a kid and... I went as a pumpkin. It was BAD. Aha...Oh.
Ever wondered hoe Halloween came about? Well its all here.
The Romans worshiped various gods and on October 31, a special feast was held in honor of Pomona, goddess of the fruit trees. Later, the Druids, an ancient order of Celtic priests in Britain, made this feast an even more extensive celebration by also honoring Samhain, lord of the dead. This was normally done on November 1 and it was therefore decided to conveniently honor both Pomona and Samhain on October 31 and November 1.
These Druids believed that on the night before November 1 (October 31) Samhain called together wicked souls or spirits which had been condemned to live in the bodies of animals during the year which had just transpired. Since they were afraid of these spirits, they chose October 31 as a day to sacrifice to their gods, hoping they would protect them. They really believed that on this day they were surrounded by strange spirits, ghosts, witches, fairies, and elves, who came out to hurt them. In addition to this, they also believed that cats were holy animals, as they considered them to represent people who lived formerly, and as punishment for evil deeds were reincarnated as a cat. All this explains why witches, ghosts, and cats are a part of Halloween today.
The custom of trick-or-treating and the use of "jack-o'-lanterns" comes from Ireland. Hundreds of years ago, Irish farmers went from house to house, begging for food, in the name of their ancient gods, to be used at the village Halloween celebration. They would promise good luck to those who gave them good, and made threats to those who refused to give. They simply told the people, "You treat me, or else I will trick you!"
The apparently harmless lightened pumpkin face or "jack-o'-lantern" actually is an old Irish symbol of damned soul. A man named Jack was supposed to be able unable to enter heaven due to his miserliness, and unable to enter hell because he had played practice jokes on the devil. As a result, he was condemned to wander over the earth with his lantern until judgment day (i.e., the end of the world). The Irish were so afraid that they would receive an identical plight, that they began to hollow out pumpkins and place lighted candles inside to scare away evil spirits from their home.
Well there ya go.
First witch: Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed
Second witch: Thice, and once the hedge -pig whined
Third witch: Harpier cries- Tis time, 'tis time
First witch: Round about the cauldron go,
In the poisoned entrail throw.
Toad that under cold stone
Days and nights hast thirty one
Sweltering venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i, the charmed pot
ALL: Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!!!

Went for math lessons this morning in school and I literally fell asleep trying to listen to Bey. FOUR HOURS OF MATH KILLS. It has been proved! I was talking to Abi while walking to the train and my spoken english didn't make sense AT ALL. Ya see what math does to you? HA!
Oh.
So anyway, Louisa and I headed to Cafe Galilee for lunch and I was looking forward to those mexican wraps but I got stupid and ordered the seafood pasta instead.
It was a stupid decision.
Louisa and I piad six bucks for that only to find out that I CAN cook better than that. Weird, somewhat diluted tomato sauce stirred around with pasta and a couple o prawns with SCA-RY shellfish is not my idea of cafe food. Did I mention I don't really want to dine there anymore?
Oh. I DON'T WANNA DINE THERE ANYMORE.
So after that, I headed to tamp mall which always sucks to get stuff while Louisa had to sadly go back to school for her pure Geog lessons. HA! I was meaning to join her in town later to get gloves for the halloween party tomorrow but i guess i got lazy. I'll just settle with whatever I have at home then. THERE WILL BE PICTURES. Of the crazy costumes tomorrow that is. Ha! And oh dear. A thought just struck me.
I haven't gone for confession. Dad says I can go with him to church on Wednesday if I'm not wrong, cos he's meeting up with Father Val for some random reason that I don't know of; to get my confession done before conformation so I guess I'll go.
Well I'm supposed to make a couple o phone calls now and there's a whole bunch of other stuff that I wanna get done thus I will put an end to all my talk here... Only to continue soon enough. Ha!
OH.
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
but he's a beautiful
such a beautiful disaster.
And if i could hold on
to the tears and the laughter,
would it be beautiful,
or just a Beautiful disaster?
3:26 PM
I MISS THAT.
Moving on.
Well, most of yesterday was spent in church for this retreat in preparation for confirmation next Sunday. It might not have been fun, but it was certainly meaningful and it did bring back some memories of the conformation camp we had in June. And then, I headed to work at conference hall, in a cab with a driver who seemed like he didn't know the way and led me to some road known as finlayson street and I was like.... ?!!!?!
But anyway. I arrived in one piece, though I lost ten bucks to the cab driver which was pretty damn sad. But whaddya know! It wasn't my money so 'twas ok:) Met Angie there who welcomed me by wacking me full on first with her coat, then with her arm, then with MY coat then with her bag.
And I still don't know why.
Came home at bout eleven-ish, took a super long shower and then flopped on the couch to watch this really WEIRD nineties movie. Then I uh... fell asleep. Got up at bout nine this morning to head for morning mass with my folks. Bumped into Elaine and so she joined us for mass. Both of us are reading for conformation mass next week so that's kinda cool. After mass, folks n I headed to lunch and during the journey there, they had a tiff and my mom left the car and came back then my dad left the car then came back and I got so annoyed I said," Gosh you guys are LAME" then had this strong urge to laugh but... I guess that didn't happen. So they never got things sorted out thus I told them I would be moving off to lunch. My mum went off again and so my dad joined me for lunch. Well, it was not that a great day but hey! I'm having fun trying to put my halloween costume together now. I have an awesome WIG as my hair be not long enough to pull Wednesday Adams off. Yes, That's what I'm gonna be. HA! Was supposed to pop by Rae's place with Abi to get her house decked up for the Halloween Party on Tuesday but couldn't make it.
DARN.
I finally packed my junkyard of a room. Yes, FINALLY. Ha! Oh. Gotta go to school tomorrow and most of november if I'm not wrong. Well, there's not much I can do bout that.
He drowns in his dreams
an exquisite extreme, I know
He's as damned as hr seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold.
But if I tried to save him, my whole world would cave in
It just aint right, oh it just aint right...
