2:30 am

Arrived from a shopping spree in Dubai (walked for over 6 hours in 3 different shopping malls =.= ) My arms were hurting cuz I was in charge of carrying the shopping bags.. xD

Sunday
5:30 am

Went to bed after preparing and eating the Suhoor (which is the meal that is consumed before early dawn in preparation for fasting) and praying.. It was the 27th of Ramadan so I assumed that it was the "Great Night".. I prayed for me to get my Aussie Visa already cuz I wanna get things over with.. You know.. Booking the fights and blah blah blah.. I want it to be done cuz governmental establishments would be closed on Monday and I needed to confirm my booking before the Eid holidays..

Sunday
9:00 am

I woke up to "Wind by Akeboshi" my alarm ring tone .. Called to check on my Visa though I was told that my friend wasn't there yet.. Anyhoos.. Waited for another 30 minutes till she called to tell me that I got my Visa.. She sent it to me over e-mail..

Sunday
10:00 am

Hurried over to the Ministry of education to get my LPO or LBO or something like that.. Anyways.. It's a written letter that they will pay for my airfare to aussie land ..

I met this 2 sisters there.. One of the sisters was studying in Melbourne, though I was able to chat with the elder one who was studying here.. She told me that Aussie people are nice and not to worry about anything but the cold weather .. She told me that shopping there ain't like shopping here cuz clothes there are not as crazy as the clothes here.. .. T told her not to worry cuz I ain't going there to shop but to study (yeah right... =.= )..

There was this uber cute fella who was so extremely shy.. It was so cute watching him .. I was talking the the secretary of the financial blah blah blah i dunno whatchamacall it about the ticket fares and booking when that fella came in and submitted his papers.. He got to sit in opposite of me and he kept like playing with his fingers.. putting his hands on his knees.. he kept looking on the floor or either away while blushing .. I was totally looking at him cuz I was like "what is wrong with him?" in my mind not knowing that it made him feel awkward.. We had to wait for like 15 minutes till the secretary lady was off the phone.. she got him a booking but not me =.= .. He was off to Denver, USA..

Now another dude came and I was still waiting for my own booking =.= .. this time it was a dude who was like glued to his dad not knowing what to do and just following him .. I was like "How the heck would he manage to go to another country by himself if he still depends on his dad to do the paper works for him?" O.o

Dude after dude came and I still haven't got any booking.. One of the dads were like "She seems to have forgotten you O.o".. I just smiled then looked at the lady telling her "Listen.. If you can't find me a booking.. Go call this travel agent and ask him about the ticket I booked myself" She was like "O well" then went off to call.. Let's just say that all the flights on the day that I planned to fly in were fully booked.. But she talked to the dude in the travel agency and told her about the ticket I booked.. Then suddenly she was like "EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY JUST FOR A FLIGHT TO CANBERRA?!!" Anyways.. She told me that the maximum amount that they can give me was 7k for the flight.. Cuz the others flying to Aussie land only pays 6500 for the ticket.. Well anyways.. She told me that I can add the money from my own pocket to get the ticket.. I went to talk to my dad and he was like "Fine.. Whatever..".. I think that he just wanted to get stuff done with cuz I was the only female student in the place among like 30 other males (the 2 sisters i met already left me so i was alone xD)

Sunday
12:47 pm

I went to the travel agent to get the ticket..
My ticket costs 8,750AED = 2,377USD = 109,342PHP <-- I could have bought really good camera lenses + a really good digital camera with that money =.=
My flight will be like this:
Etihad Airways = Abu Dhabi to Sydney (The trip lasts for 14 hours X___x)
Qantas = Sydney to Canberra (only 50 minutes xD)
I'll be leaving in the morning of the 9th of October.. I just realized that it's so soon

Sunday
1:45 pm

Got home.. Chatted with siblings via MSN.. Got to see lovely pix of my baby brother [link] [link] he sooo looks like me when I was young

Sunday
4:30 pm

Went to Al-Wahda mall..
We went to GAP cuz my mom wanted a white version of a black blouse she got.. Anyways.. She got 3 jeans instead and made me carry them.. Friggin' heavy jeans =.=.. Anyways,, when we were at the cashier,, we were like talking about stuff then the French dude was like "I thought she was a man!" And I was like O__O.. Mom was laughing telling him that it's always like this people assuming me as a guy >___> .. My feelings were hurt.. But then the dude was like "Well not man I mean.. But a boy.. You know.. Teens.. I thought she was a rapper hip hop fella.. maybe a 17 year old boy.. like that.. but when I heard her voice.. well....." I was like "WHAT THE!!! RAPPER??!" in my mind.. But I just smiled while he and mom tried to figure out why I dress like the way I do =___= .. Mom was like "She doesn't like wearing girly outfits" then the dude was like "Maybe she feels comfortable like that" and they went on while I was looking at myself on a mirror..

After the chitchatting.. I told mom that other girls wear the same thing and don't get mistaken for a guy.. Mom told me it's because I don't seem to have girly features (if you know what i mean =___= ) sad.. but true..

I used to think that it's because in the Philly,, They have this standard for a girl.. But here too?!! Now I'm thinking that there's something wrong with me =___= .. No wonder why me and my cousin roam in the malls and salespeople go like "hello ma'am.. and sir!!" i thought they meant sir for the people behind us or something like that.. never knew they were referring to me =___= .. They could have even thought we were g/f and b/f ..

Then I had a flashback of a memory I thought I lost.. I just wish if I had forgotten about it.. It goes like this:
I often never go out to the school recess square unless I had to pass by it or go buy water or something from the small store canteen like thingy.. But I went to the square to chitchat with an old friend of mine.. We were like sitting on the floor when there was like this person touching my hair from the side.. I turned my head to look at who this person is and found a very beautiful white face in front of me.. I was like "what the..." And she was "Hey there~~ " I don't remember what we talked about but I remember her touching my hair gently the whole convo while her face was just like 2 inches from mine.. I totally don't know who she was nor do I remember her facial features.. All I remember was that she was very beautiful and her skin was light .. I think I remember my friends telling me something about it.. but I forgot.. Thinking about it now makes me think that she was hitting on me I should ask my friends about what happened that day.. I don't like to not know stuff =.=

Sunday
7:00

After Having the Iftar.. We moved on to the Marina Mall..
Let's just say that I got MY PRECIOUS* from there ..
I have to buy extra stuff for it though cuz it only came with a 2GB memory card.. I plan to buy an extra 4GB memcard and another battery thingy.. Cuz unlike my previous Powershot**.. This Rebel* works with lithium batteries and it will be a pain if I ran out of it while having fun taking shots xD


*My Precious/Rebel = Canon EOS 450D Digital Rebel XSi
**Powershot = Canon PowerShot S5 ID

Sunday
9:45 pm

We got home even though we planned to go somewhere else.. I dunno why it's sooo uber Traffic in the streets.. And people are so URGHH!! A car practically almost friggin' hit me and even dared to be mad at me!! I was like "Bring it on you FV$%@%$@ERV#@!!" He beeped at me and i surely beeped at him.. I would have gotten down from my car if he did.. I'm always ready to fight friggin' #F%$F%#e45#% like him.. I'm an aggressive driver cuz it's eat or be eaten in the streets around here.. And as I said before "No more little miss nice girl!!

But don't you guys worry.. Cuz even though I'm an aggressive driver, I'm still a safe driver

Sunday
11:45 pm

This is when I went to sleep after playing with my new Camera..
I'm so in love with it..
I felt like a kid with a new toy when i opened the box..
Mom was laughing at me cuz I didn't know how to attach the lenses to the camera body.. I was like "It's my first time!!"
It's pretty light.. But I feel that it's quite fragile.. I was also surprised to see a mirror in the body.. I was like "wow~~ .. The click sound it makes is so lovely.. Though I was like "WHA!!" when the flash suddenly popped out while I was trying to take a pic .. I still have a lot to learn.. So I'll go practice more..

Monday (Today)
10:00 am

Mom woke me up so that I can take her to the place we were supposed to go to the day before..
To our surprise, the roads were still filled with friggin' cars.. Some drivers are kind.. Though most of them piss me off.. I get a high blood pressure whenever I go somewhere driving my car.. There were two cars that hit each other behind me .. Just glad it wasn't me.. I would rather be hit than hit another car..

Monday
1:25 pm

Got home and is just chillin'.. Catching up here on DA and well.. Writing this long journal..

Tomorrow is another day.. And I plan on to test my camera somewhere out there..

Peace out you people!!
