Before you ask me where I've been I will tell you. I have been visiting my cousins who have no internet and some other stuff. That and I haven't had any ideas for blog posts. This Friday I will be leaving my lovely home land and going to Indonesia once again. Once there I will not be posting very regularly because I have a bit of schoolwork waiting for me. I would really like to know what you have been doing though, so please leave a comment. Before I close this post I would just like to raise awareness of three South African bands I really like. The first is Prime Circle. They do sing in English so that helps for those of you who don't speak Afrikaans. The second band is Straatligkinders. They are kinda heavy metal-y so they're not everybody's type. And the third is Die Heuwels Fantasties. Please go and check these bands out! I really like them and I'm sure you will too!!

NeedToBreathe Won't Turn Back

One of my favorite TV series is Chuck. I don't know if any of you watch it but if you don't then you should probably start watching it.
This is what it's about:

Chuck Bartowski accidentally downloaded an Intersect ( it is something that can show you information that you have not learnt) into his brain. Because of this the CIA decided to take him on and train him as a spy. It's hard to explain exactly what the Intersect is but it isn't magic, it's data. Chuck's father ( CIA) invented it. His mother is also CIA and has been missing since Chuck was 9. He tries to find her and then get's himself into a bit of trouble.

I have only seen the third and fourth season but I absolutly love it! It does have some sexual refferences but it's worth watching.

Hope you love it too!

Hi there! I now it's been a while but I've kinda had writer's block. Anyway what have you been up to? I came home for a visit and so far I have done absolutely nothing but spend time with my grand-parents. I am my mom's parents only grand-child so it's nice to spend time with them. I just wanted to write something since I was about to tell someone else to post something and then I remembered that I haven't posted in a while either.

Have a great summer!!

This is one of my favorite dance performances. The dancers are Ellenore and Jakob ( I don't know their last names) from season 6 of  So You Think You Can Dance. I wish I could dance like this!! Tell me what you think!

Micro Expressions

A Micro Expressions "...is a brief, involuntary facial expression shown on the face of humans according to emotions experienced. They usually occur in high-stakes situations, where people have something to lose or gain. Unlike regular facial expressions, it is difficult to fake microexpressions. Microexpressions express the seven universal emotions: disgust, anger, fear, sadness, happiness, surprise, and contempt. However in the 1990s Paul Ekman expanded this list of basic emotions, including a range of positive and negative emotions not all of which are encoded in facial muscles. These emotions are amusement, contempt, embarrassment, excitement, guilt, pride, relief, satisfaction, pleasure, and shame.They are very brief in duration, lasting only 1/25 to 1/15 of a second". - Wikipedia

I didn't know how to explain it so I enlisted the help of Wikipedia. You also have gestures that can be a sign that you are lying and the pitch of your voice also gives away your emotions.

Cool, huh?

One more thing to add to my career list.

The Study of Micro Expressions: I find this very interesting and I think this is on the top of my list.

How am I going to pay for this without getting a loan?? And no I can't get a job because I don't stay in a place long enough to be able to keep one. Help. Please.

Hello there! I though that maybe my two readers could help me out with one ( of  my many) questions; What will my profession be?

Here are some of my choices:

Doctor: No surgical stuff just treating simple things.

Psycologist: I like human behaviour.

Private Fashion Stylist: I do love fashion!!

Make-Up Artist: Love make-up!

These are some professions that I am thinking of but tell me if you can think of anything else and/or which one you think I would be more suited to.

People say growing up is what you are supposed to do, but what about staying young forever? Who wants to grow up when you can be a kid? No responsibilities, no demands, no worrying about the future, nothing but playing and wondering when you next meal will be ( and if mom is going to give you something truly awful, like tuna). Couldn't we just be left alone to be young and naughty and wacky? Years ago kids my age (almost 14) would climb trees and play make-belief games. Could you imagine what it would be like to actually still be considered a kid at age 14 in our days? It doesn't seem possible.

Adults say you have to grow up sometime, I know this but do we have to become the President fresh out of Junior High? I don't want to be a kid for the rest of my life, but I don't want to be all grown up at ( almost) 14. How boring would that be? You're going to wear high heels for the rest of your life! You don't have to wear them now. It's the same thing with make-up, short dresses/skirts and boys. Be a kid and enjoy the freedom while you have it.
