Here, precisely at Cinemark cinemas, every weekend they choose a Disney movie and show it in the cinema by a special price. Unfortunately, tlk never made it, I would like to see it again in 3D
I was named Teacher of the Week for next week. It's not a huge deal, but it's nice to be appreciated.
Nice going HasiraKali :) That's awesome.
A very small win for me today, finally found my TLK CDs in one of my unpacked boxes. Listening to the Legacy Collection soundtrack now. So beautiful =)
A friend visited yesterday, and she got me 2 foreign Fanta's, she knows me too well, lol.
Well, I finally opened up my TLK box from when I packed it all up before the move in August last year. I didn't take much out, but it was really nice to go through. Plus now it's super nice to have all my ceramic figures out in the display shelf where they should be. :) It's nice to be able to look over at them.
TLK box, as in 'a box'?
When I get home ill show what I had to move tlk-wise, lol.
Yes, just a single box :p However, there were several things that didn't fit in the box, mugs, clothing and some plushies. Speaking of which I'm yet to find my Shenzi plush, or the Simba plush that Audra gave me, they're around somewhere. While I only have one box of TLK things, I am hoping to remedy that one day, haha. :D I haven't really had the money to buy anything TLK in a number of years. I really want to complete and expand on my collection of ceramic/china figures. I have a bunch of plastic figures too, but I'm not sure I want to hold on to them. I also really want to collect the WDCC figures, they're probably my dream figures.
There's I think still 10 boxes at my parents home.
But these I have with me now.
Hard to imagine it holds about 800 items.
So many things! Is that the 1000 piece Simba and Mufasa puzzle on the top of the pile on the right? That's one of my must haves (eventually :p )
Yes! I also have 2.
Someone wanted one, a friend went to WDW, picked one up, but added tax to get it back to Belgium (she declares things because she brings stuff for other people on her trips), and made it quite expensive.
And then the person wanting it backed out.
So will be trying eBay with it to get the amount back it really costed.
Had some wine on a cold Sunday and binged watched Lion Guard cartoons. It has been glorious, and I apologize in advance because the combo creates a burning need to spam the episode discussions.
Some people at work found an Eclectus Parrot today. They didn't know what it was so showed me photos. I told them it was an escaped pet so went and found it and caught it. It's now home in a temporary cage and has been chowing down on the entire fresh fruit and veg contents of my fridge for the last 2 and 1/2 hours. :p Really beautiful bird, seems very hand tame. I've already spent $16 on it, no idea how long I'll have it for. Have posted on lost and found pet sites so just waiting to see if anybody comes forward. Secretly hoping they don't :lol:
Will post pics when I'm done being paranoid about internet stalkers finding out the gender/colour of the bird to claim it as their own. They're a pretty valuable hand-tame parrot so being cautious with that. Very cool though and I'm lucky to have had supplies to assemble a temporary cage, and some rabbit toys from the bird section which are hanging up as well. I think it was lost for a while because as soon as it was in the cage it drank a whole lot of water, and spent an hour non-stop eating the capsicum and apple from the bowl.
What an interesting find. I remember seeing a eclectus at a petshop once a long time ago. It was a male and he was beautiful.
Today I found a hair bow that is perfect for my Disney World birthday outfit. It's navy blue and has tiny silver and gold diamond cut studs on it. They look a little like stars. I'm going to add a bit to it, but it looks pretty good as it to be honest. Very pleased about that.
Yes they are a stunning bird, this one has a few feathers missing, mostly around the neck area which I'm assuming it either plucked before or during it's escape due to stress. I haven't noticed much plucking and there is grey fuzz, not just bald skin so I'm thinking with good food and a safe and stimulating environment they'll grow back. No one has claimed the bird yet either, which does secretly make me happy. We did have one person over two days ago to double-check if it was his bird but it wasn't, and haven't heard from anyone else since then. Pat already came up with a name which I told him he was bad for doing, though it's still just "the bird" because I'm trying (and failing) not to get attached. I've been doing a tonne of research on Eclectus as well, which has been a lot of fun since I love learning about animals. Mostly diet and general care, and from that have been trying new veggies and things. Seems to like most things so far except for cucumber and silverbeet.
Seems to be settling in well though, is enjoying foraging from the eucalyptus branch I put in and peeling the bark from the branch perches. Has had a small test or two of the toys, but not much really. Yesterday afternoon it was a little bit chatty, made a few soft squawks and things, but no noise today. It's really very lucky it was found on Friday because since then the weather has turned cold, rainy and with very strong winds and wind gusts. I doubt it would have survived.
I went to an MLP convention in Kansas City last week and randomly met a member from TLKGO! :wow: Neither of us had any idea the other was at the convention but he saw my name tag and recognized it. We both kinda freaked out. It was Jasiem. He's a fairly new member, but still, it's one of those situations I used to play out in my head and it totally happened! lol :lol:
What a coincidence, that is so cool!
My mom surprised me and my brother with a trip to rome! Im in the ancient district now, it's amazing to be here. Europe is different than I expected.
Wauw, that is so cool! Always wanted to go there, I should someday, it's only a 2-hour flight.
My mom gave me my first trip outside South America. We will go to Portugal in December. Then we can decide to stay there or go somewhere else. I'm just afraid because I never went more than 3 hours non stop in a plane. From here to Europe is 8 hours! And when we came back, it will be via São Paulo... 11 hours! Oh...my...god!

Ooooh, that is nice! And you won't even need to learn another language for that, kind of, hehe.
Those 8 hours "fly" by ... loads of movies, series to watch on the plane.
Don't forget music, I was in a KLM flight from here to Jakarta and they have a good library of music, I spent one and a half hours in the flight listening to Dream Theater's Dramatic turns of Event.Quote:

I collected pine cones today. Made me feel like a kid again :p
I've never been to Portugal, so can't say if it's an expensive country or not. I don't really think so though, apart from the real tourist places, which is always more expensive everywhere in Europe.Quote:

Considering I listen to music most of the time, it'll be nice to have something else to listen to for once!
Also, I went to Walmart and got a 'bunch' of M&M-related things for the yellow M&M thread. It might not sound exciting, but being a little obsessed with food, I'm super happy ^-^
Also also, I ended up getting Taco Bell tonight, which is pretty great as they've just come out with a couple of new things :p
And lastly, I found a good charger for my laptop, so it no longer takes 24 hours to charge!
I've got plenty of happies to share :D
Vanity or not, I am really quite proud that one of my drawings is currently #1 in the "Top Rated Recent Uploads" on TLKFAA and another one is also in the top 10. For me it feels like an achievement, considering all the years I've been on the site. Little 13-year-old me working so hard to be recognised, and in the end I actually got there. It feels good. It does. It also feels a bit vain. But I want to allow myself this, just once.
Moving on! Something slightly more impressive also happened today - I finally signed the final papers for my new flat :D I am moving in three weeeeks!
That is so awesome, congrats Kanu! :D and yeah, you allow yourself this, you deserve it ^^
*Looks at the #1 spot with hopeful smile* ...One day, Leor, one day.
And good luck with the moving too, it certainly must be exciting :)
As for me, I haven't exactly been having a good week, I've been feeling rather depressed lately for personal reasons. But this morning a patient I treated this past week (a 78 year old lady) called me to say thank you because she had been recovering well and feeling much better. She sounded joyful, said "God bless you" to me, and told me she would recommend me to her friends. These are the kind of little things that make me love what I do, and thus make me feel so appreciated. I'm feeling much better today :simbasmile3:
I don't think you should feel like it's vain -- you've put some effort into something and it finally paid off! That's something to be proud about :)Quote:

@KanuTGL Good job with getting there, I'm happy for you!
My happy is that I went out with a recently made friend, and we ate chinese and watched a movie :p
Also, I discovered that the forum works on my Vita, so I can comfortably post while waiting to get a new phone ^-^
Finally, my doctor called and told me he'd finally write me a proper statement. For weeks I've tried to contact her in vain, but now everything has been resolved!
The problem is that I've hurt my ankle when I fell during one of our field trips at school about 3 weeks ago. Now the problem is, when you are a teacher in Germany and you work as a tenured German civil servant (That's possible over here but not for all teachers since you have to meet certain requirements), things get really complicated with accidents during work. My doctor had to write down that the accident wasn't my fault and that I've never had an accident involving that foot before. Oh and that the accident did indeed cause the distortion (D'uh!).
However, when she gave me the statement, she didn't really address any of these issues and so I had to contact her again, because my insurance needs her statement. Contacting her proved rather difficult, but today she finally called back. Yay! Now I can finally get the paperwork done... Good old German paperwork... how I just LOVE bureaucracy :P
But hey that call kind fo made my day. Now I just have to wait for her statement to arrive. :)
That's awesome Kanu, really well done :)
I was always disappointed that I never made AotM, I know I faded out several years ago but I felt I had a really strong point with my art and just never got that recognition. But that's probably just me being bitter when there were other artists that I'd never heard of or thought I was better than who were getting it.:blah: Just a shame because it was always a big goal for me, as silly as that is, to become AotM back when the archive was really at it's strong point. Ahh well, times change I suppose. I keep thinking I want to draw again, but I just never pick up paper and pencil to do so.
I can understand you there, Azzy, becoming AotM is a goal of mine as well (or at least see my art among the Top Rated Recent Uploads). But AotM is more based on popularity rather than how good an artist may be, so I guess it's a matter of becoming more prominent in the TLKFAA community. But even then I also think the system is kinda broken, the current AotM has been in the position since May :blah: Maybe there needs to be some kind of reminder to cast your vote from time to time? I don't think there's enough people voting xP
Now to be back on topic, I'm still not having real good days, but yesterday while I was out playing Pokemon Go at the park, I befriended a dog that's been living around there. It's really cute and kept me some good company for that while. I think it's homeless, as there doesn't seem to be anyone looking for it, and it doesn't have a collar or anything indicating it has an owner. Maybe I would adopt it if I could (right now there's no way I can). Hopefully I'll see it again today, I'll bring some treat with me just in case :)
That's adorable!Quote:

But, it's always nice to befriend random dogs and cats!
Someone at the end of my street has a bunch of kittens, and if you pet one, all 8-or-so of 'em come running and purring and all that. It's insane :haha:
But, more on-topic; I started my day off with getting Taco Bell.
I literally got everything on their breakfast menu :haha:
I've got two things left over: some random burrito with god-knows-what in it, and a bacon crunchwrap.
So, in short, Taco Bell made my day <3
I'm just freaking excited because all of my hardwork for 4 days I just paid back, I was working for 4 days and I have 5 days goal on Uber. Glad I was unstoppable today so I could earn a rest on weekend and having enough money to pay the traffic ticket. :evilgrin: :wicked: :scarcool:
This was my last day of work before going on vacation for a week! Yay leaving the office! Yay going somewhere!
I am happy today because I haven't had a headache for the first time in two weeks. :D I had a little bit of a dizzy spell, but that was just because I was hungry and the PTA ladies were taking too long getting our dues taken care of so we could go eat. :p
How do you still even have intestines?Quote:
