more cards!

i like this one..made for a friend for his friend :P

I'm happy with it more because these type of cards used to take me a long time to make earlier..

this time i made it for him under 15minutes during my exams :)

for a calligraphy loving, artistic friend..who loved it :)

i wrote the poem by myself .. for her..

thanks Kenny for the inspiration to get all poetic :P

..so this is a great milestone for me -- discovering i have a poetic side too :)

He made them all!

driving past with dad in santa cruz, goa

near some bakery down a narrow winding road, taleigao, goa

near Grandpa's house, campal, panjim

near my house, view from my balcony.

Football ground, campal..

ah i love that tree :)

from the bus, en route to panjim from bambolim via dona paula

whats-the-word..uh the waterfront promenade at campal, near the market..

...

aha.. my phone camera is good! :P

Posters!

i wont say i was busy..

just procrastinating..

 so here's whats been going on these past days

- basically a lot :)

Calvin : You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet.
 You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes : What mood is that? 
Calvin : Last-minute panic.

First of all there was some kind of poster competition which i participated in ..

 during National Pharmacy Week :)

Out of all the topics, this one appealed to me because i could animatedly jazz it up :)..

pardon the handwriting as always :)

though i agree with one of my friends who said theres too much writing

 and very less art..

i am quite proud of the comic strip..

...

The next competition was fairly recent - i just submitted it yesterday..

World Aids Day was celebrated on the 1st of Dec.. so yea..

my little bit to help tell the world to--

STOP AIDS! Keep the Promise..

 aah don't you just love kids like that?..

i know a little girl with aids..

and i feel so very angry and so sorry..

 that someone as cute and naughty as her

should be affected by a disease like this due to no fault of hers..

God bless you Nishika!

we can only do our part to stop this vicious epidemic and above all- pray!

...

another glorious saturday..

yea and it began with a sugar rush..cold strawberry jam.. :) ah life..never ever have liked jam so much..beginning to like myself more.. :)

There is lots i need to put up today, since a lot of pictures have been clicked and don't want them to clog up my hard drive so will put them up here..rite? and not much time to do it..have organic chemistry class in an hour and a half..

So lets begin..
Remember the backdrop I'd made for college?? well, the butterfly and the caterpillar had no home after that and we didn't want them to end up in the trash..Fortunately my anatomy and physiology teacher Ma'am Shailaja asked us whether she could have them..so yea..we did want her to..
After long days of procrastinating and losing it and then searching and finding the creatures we managed to stick them up on the wall of her office to brighten it up :)

she loved the Caterpillar so much..she even made a picture of it, her desktop wallpaper :)

~.~

Then yesterday was the birthday of the Principal of my ex-school..so yea it was card-making time again..!!!

So..i asked a Reuben and Christa , my classmates, for ideas... i got the suggestion of making a card with a drummer since..apparently..(its true i asked later)..fr.Tamatur..was/is a drummer..cool..who knew??? :P

so my artsy cap went on..and this is what i came up with..uh yea...i did google to see what the drums would have to look like..

rough..before i painted..

its perfectly true also...he does drum to his own beat..always.

.expecting exact perfection from all his students..

{not that all give it to him..

some tend to be rather lackadaisical..

BUT i can safely say i did try :) to be excellent i mean..}

no wonder our higher secondary school motto in our year was 'bloom with quality'..

~.~

Helped a friend make a card for her friend tara..that her name..so everything was star related..tara=star?

so..the idea was conceptualised..and executed!

gold spray paint on paper..with a star motif-y thing in the middle with her best qualities..

awesome huh? love it!

~.~

this is something i made when i was small..mum unearthed it from somewhere..ahh..

pisces!

~

the deed is finally done

4 months and 1 day since this i.e.the borrowing of the mandolin, i have finally done the deed of returning it back..albeit..3months and 1day LATE..

I'm actually happy i finally got on with it, after procrastinating for what felt like an eternity, holding poor Mandy hostage for no fault on its part..ignoring it sometimes..and ending up with breaking a string :( i shoulda been spanked..but no..i have very forgiving friends :)

BUT..this whole thing is a blow on my otherwise clean slate of punctuality..not good at all..

If it helped matters i made a card..which looked like this >>
where me=the very slow tortoise..cute huh?

kindly be nice and ignore the faint ugly handwriting

 by yours truly in the background..

thankyou!

the week in pictures

sunset outside police headquarters, panjim

same place as above with a cloud that looked sorta like a lizardy dragon..can see it?

very sunny sunshiny day in college..

some tree that sprouting new leaves..which, may i add will soon be eaten by creepy hairy caterpillars..

this has happened before..not that i'm looking forward to it again..:/

shopping in the evening with dad..saw this really cute lantern with the dragonfly motif..

i want :)

doodling on my desk while talking to a friend..distractions..ah..

it looked better in person tho :P

Everyday in Chemistry Life- 2

 Again organic lab tests with amazing colours :)

Tribal Art Competition

:) At a recent college festival, our class won the First place for something i had to rustle up in an hour..
so we did 3 things..
-a warli painting,
-a paper bag with fake (i made it up on the spur of the moment :P) Egyptian hieroglyphs
- and an Australian theme-y hair clip..which was supposed to b a painting but had to be modified due to lack of time..

the Egyptian thing was the funniest..i cant believe they fell for what i did.. :D

~_~*!

ever been flattered and excited ..
that a lighthouse just smiled at you?..
and then again..
after 5 seconds again?

ooh.. i think it was a wink.. ;)

life is good :)

Everyday in Chemistry Life - 1

This is just something we did in the lab about the Partition coefficient of iodine between CCl4 and water..whatever sense that made to you..
but 'twas basically a fun experiment involving shaking of the apparatus, mainly the flask-y thing i cant remember the name of..sheesh...will tell you when i remember..

but..
the colours are the most ama-zing ever..

this looks like some crazy mocktail..dont it?

this was when it settled for a bit..

and the sunlight shone through it making it look so fiery..whoa!

A
place of colours.
A place of
bright lights across still waters.

blah!

'Tis been a good week..with physical pharmacy, biochemistry and microbiology practicals getting over so well..so pretty good..hectic but not quite..only organic chem practs left..ah..sadness..lackadaisical attitude of the prof has left me with a very incomplete journal, and i am not very happy about that :/

Not much to look forward to over the weekend..haven't planned anyhting as such..hmmm.goota do something fun..will see..

Last week i had the opportunity of watching 'My Fair Lady' which i'd downloaded..
and whoa!!..Audrey Hepburn IS the ,most amazongly gorgeous actress ever.. even though i admit that i did like her as the silly loud flowergirl better :) and ah..i also sometimes sigh...that...i could have danced all night!! ..

Rex Harrison is perfect too..in a stupidly arrogant way ..with that annoying snobbish air..but i dont totally disagree with his logic..why cant a woman be more like a man? :P

hmm..wonder why i never watched it before..but indeed a thoroughly enjoyable watch! :)

Top 5

Thought i'd test meself a bit..give the good ol' brain an oiling..
so here goes..

My Personal Top 5

5. Colour - Green

Seriously? ..of all things- colour? sheesh..

4. Movie Ending: The way Prince of persia ends..ahh too amazing :) ..JG is way way too ...wow..

3. Attention-grabbing activity in class: Tearing a page :o alongwith..making the clickety pen jump!

2. Annoying line of a song that gets stuck: 'i put my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin heyo!'

1. Individual: aah..woudn'tcha like to kno :P ..everyone and no one..:)

!!

Honesty Pays..

it really does.. :)

Verse of the Week 2/10/11

" WE KNOW THAT IN EVERYTHING, GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHOM HE HAS CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN.."

Romans 8:28

 

He does actually..do this..this came true today and comes true every single day.

and he wanted me to know it too..

How else can you explain finding this exact verse one day..
having it being texted to you the next morning by someone you havn't met in ages...

and having it come true the same day?

My God IS an AWESOME GOD!! :)

look what i found....

...in a deserted corridor somewhere..

 ~ >< ~

hmmmm...

moments like these make me mouth a 'what?' in that injured tone i've picked up...
run my fingers thru ..and ruffle my hair..
stare up at the ceiling in exasperated wonder.. :/

makes me think of that song..
'you-u-u doing that thing you do-o-o..'

so so annoying..messing my head up..
aah forget it.. :o


besides these past 5 minutes?..

its been a fruitfully fulfillingly good sunday.. :)

why does a monday come so quickly after a sunday..but a sunday takes its own times to arrive after the monday??

why???

that time of the year again..

when everything else seems interesting..

when you can think of hundreds of projects you can make..aah creativity..

when all you can see is piles of books and so much portion you cant gather the enthusiasm to study...

when all you wait for is when it'll all be over and you can have free days with peace on earth, goodwill to men and early sleeping/late waking schedules..

This was the scenario for this past week of mine..never could imagine or recollect at that time, any other time when i could have had a more monotonous and zombie-like existence..

wake up-eat-sit-study-eat some more-study-study-sleep-wake up-eat-answer exam-eat -study-study..etc..gosh its was torture..

examples..

 endless pages of notes in pathophysiology..blah.. :/

biochemistry..again...BLAH!!

pharmacology...transducer mechanisms..

--hmmm..awesomeness.. though 'twas my fault that i left it for the last minute..

but it was good..

basically this is all that i had to study.. :/

oh..and the pile wasnt so neat during those days..but had to be spruced up after them..

to make sure i would begin my resolution of beginning to study from day 1

Though...i  havent begun yet..

 i will..i will..

i must..

~soon~

creativity...

I used to think all the best things happened in the beginning of the year. Mostly the most awaited being my birthday and a lot of other birthdays.. But suddenly..I've begun to realize that suddenly many birthdays have crept into the middle or latter part of the year..

Maybe its just the fact that a few people who were born in the middle  (or latter part) of the year may have suddenly risen or moved up my list of important and special people in my life..
hmmm..maybe that's it :)

so many birthdays here.+ teachers' day.= many many cards ! hah fun!!

a few examples :

card for a friend- birthday 12th september

card for one of my favourite teachers- teaches physiology-- not jsut because she tries to make the subject interesting but becuase she tries and is also an awesome person to be around..

Teachers' day bookmark for the awesomest teacher on the planet.. one look and i was in love :)

oh and yea..she teaches pharmacology, a subject i know i would hate from the bottom of my heart, if it hadn't been her, teaching us :) 

and by the way, my friends tease me ill be a copy of her in 4o years..hmmm.. lets say i dont disagree totally..she has the qualities i know i want :)

Teahers' day card for the craziest, maddest and most eccentric oraganic chemistry professor EVER..

Never gives up when he has to make a point. Will teach and recite reactions/ nomenclature/ tests till you'll be able to say it all in your sleep or 

want to shut your ears with your hands and start singing at the top of your voice..either way he wont stop till he's satisfied..

Organic Chemistry had never been so frustratingly easy :)

thats all for the week..not looking forward to the next..ie exam week :(
