Lost in Translation
PLUGS: Ate Kitty, Ate Scart, Ate Rad
So it's September already and I've basically just posted 2-3 times last August. I really really wish my zest for blogging would come back. Everytime I try to go to blogger, something keeps holding me back and I can't say now it's all because of homework.
Let me just give you guys a quick recap of what's happened in my life (parang teleserye noh? lolz!)
The results of my periodical examinations were quite... unexpected. I thought that I'd totally flunk the Physics exam but it turns out, I got a passing 90! Lord really does love me! :yay Same goes for my TLE exam too. Who'd have thought that I'd get a 98??! It's really crazy! Plus for the first time since last year, I didn't get one single 80+! Yahooo!!
My last Filipino program in Saint Jude currently concluded last Sept 7 and I can say that it was a blast! Nope I didn't play any major roles (well there was this 'losers' competition but I won't delve further..) but I was soo happy that the Seniors pulled it off and gave a great show! Everyone danced to the max and we showed everyone what we could do! =) Now we really have to study harder guys..
I've also been bitten by the reading bug again. Despite the busy schedule, I (barely!) managed to catch the annual Book Fair at WTC! I was kind of disappointed since nothing interested me much there ( I did see a Scientology booth! A REAL SCIENTOLOGY BOOTH that was giving FREE STRESS TEST! Maybe I should have tried one.. lolz! Oh and a Tsu-Chi group was just beside it! Kinda funny to think that 2 religious sects would be situated beside each other. lolz! there was a BIG difference in what they sold!) but I did get a rare find! Yann Martel's autobiography! He's my idol you know! lolz, I don't know if it's good though, if it's just like the Life of Pi, then I'm all for it! hehe.
Chair, you know Charmaine but I just wanna call her Chair, lolz!, also introduced me to J.R. Ward's Black Daggerhood series and boy, THEY'RE DELICIOUS! Oops, am going stark raving mad here, but seriously, the series is THAT GOOD! I've never been excited about a series for a loong time, not since Harry Potter or Sweep. But thankfully, the Brotherhood cast their enchantment upon me. Well in a nutshell the series revolves around a band of brothers, made up of 5 HOT and handsome and fearsome VAMPIRES (Wrath, Rhage, Vishous, Phury and Zsadist - LOVE the names!), whose sole purpose is to protect the Vampire society from the lessers, who are the vampire killers. Currently, the vampires' numbers have greatly declined and so have the lessers, so the only pure-blood vampire left on earth has to do something. The series now has 4 books out there and the 5th one's coming out this month! I can now officially call Ward, a frikking genius, because her characters are portrayed so intensely and humanely (plus they're HOT!). She makes you keep wanting for more after every book, so you can just imagine me finishing the 4th book and finding out that I have to wait for a 5th book pa. This series is definitely a must-read for anybody over 16! =) Thanks soo much Chair for recommending this to me! Am forever indebted to you! =)
I haven't explained the meaning of the title yet. Lately, I've noticed that even if 2 people speak the same language, learned the same words, these 2 people would still misunderstand each other. Doesn't it always happen? When a person calls out to someone, "YO!" he/she might either turn and say "YO!" back or take offense. Miscommunication is such a nuisance. I'm saying this now because a HUGE/HUMONGOUS/GIGANTIC/TITANIC misunderstanding erupted within the halls of the seniors' floor which nearly shattered the trust and respect people had for us, and for each other. This problem caused such a ruckus between 2 sections, within 1 section, and within the faculty and within the whole batch! I don't wanna remember this anymore since I think the angry tide has already drifted to the other seas. But now I fully realize how powerful miscommunication is. It hurts people and to me, people get hurt because of such a silly thing. Miscommunication is a silly and evil thing!!
I also want to pay my respects to Luciano Pavarotti and Alex, the intelligent parrot for inspiring a lot of people. To Pavarotti, the man with the tremendous voice who revolutionized opera and influenced the opera "pop" singers today (JOSH GROBAN!! ROX!). To Alex, the parrot who greatly impressed me with his VAST knowledge of vocabulary (200 words I think) and for being such a cute African grey parrot. You have influenced a lot of parrots across the globe. =) Rest in Peace.... =)
On a lighter side of things, it's back to the Panda News! Do you think I should have a name for this little segment of mine? Is Panda Hotstuffs okay? lolz! :haha
Now I will be featuring.... PANDA DOGS!
They're not actually an "it" or "thing" but that's what makes them even cuter! To think that you can have your own miniature Panda at home! heehee. And the best part is you don't have to buy bamboos all the way from China! hehe. They're really just dogs dyed black and white but still you can't take away the uncanny resemblance to the real thing can you? hehehe. THEY ARE JUST SO ADORABLE! Maybe I should dye my own dogs... kidding! hehe.
Well guess I'd better stop! hehe
Updates when I update! =) :cool

HISTORY:
I decided I'd make a history for my site so that you'd all know the whys and the hows. I will elaborate further when I have my REAL site one day. So when did this "addiction" start? Well it was many years ago (maybe not THAT many, about 2-3 years ago) when my keypal Kelli (HI KELLI!) told me to check out this thing. It turned out to be a xanga blog and I was intrigued but I wasn't interested in making one. After a year though, exactly on October 29, 2004, I came across Kelli's blog again and had a sudden itch to try it out. I signed up in xanga and wrote my very first entry. My URL was http://xanga.com/jynxypanda and it's still alive! Check it out if you want, I've transformed it into a photoblog of some sort. I started out with this PLAIN red and black template and of course, I eventually got bored with it. I then searched for skins both in createblog and blogskins. I was happy with xanga but then I saw Steph's new blog in blogger. I was amazed at her skills already in making layouts and HTML so I asked tips from her and then I started my blogger account. This was the time I started getting interested in HTML. Steph also referred to me Lissaexplains.com for tutorials and I researched on my own by reading this gigantic HTML manual at our house. I learned the basics and soon I was editing layouts. I wasn't much of a layout changer so Thief's Stolen Collections survived with only 2 premade layouts. Soon, I was getting BORED with premade layouts. I decided to practice my photoshop skills and make my own like Steph. At first, my layout was supposed to be a panda under cherry blossoms on a starry night EXCEPT the background image I used was copyrighted to kagaya.com only hence I wasn't able to use it. It was a beautiful layout for me though because I loved the violet colors and the panda. It took me a VERY LONG time to finish it but all my efforts proved to be in vain. The spark of making a layout vanished and was just recently revived. I was determined to make one and Winnie the Pooh came to my mind. Why Winnie the Pooh? I have no idea. Maybe it was because of him being a bear but anyways, Winnie the Pooh sounded good and voila!
PAST LAYOUTS
POOH'S PARADISE V.1
Born on: June 26, 2005
Well this was my very 1st layout so pardon for the childish image. It took me a very long time to think of what image to use. Winnie the Pooh just suddenly came to my mind and before I knew it, my hands were working on their own and this is the result! It lasted me for 5 months and I'm happy. =)
STARING UNDER THE SKY
Born on: Dec. 27, 2005
This is my 2nd layout featuring a vectorized (my first vector! Not too good..) bird (i'm not sure the species) on a branch staring under the velvet (violet) sky. When I was thinking of a new layout, I wanted it to have a touch of Christmas but not in the commercial way (gifts, lights etc). I wanted to show the true meaning of Christmas and I also wanted a layout that would last me for months (I'm a lazy bum.. hehe). Inspiration struck when our English teacher asked us to make a Korean Sijo (in English that is) and what i wrote about was a bird anticipating the birth of Christ. Though Christmas has gone, I still wish the feeling of Christmas will continue the whole year. This lasted me for a month (oMG 1 month lang?) but I may use it again. I really liked it! hehe
