New layout.
It took a while to make and i'm still not entirely satisfied with it. The header image is a lot less "retro" than I'd imagined.
When I spotted the image on deviantart, I thought it reminded me somewhat of the 60's :S but I guess it looks more like a typical fashion shoot....
Oh well, I'll definitely have to work on another one.

Currently using a Pre-made layout from http://community.livejournal.com/refutare

The Stars.
Have you ever taken the time to just sit and stare at the night sky? I have,and I'll tell you what, it's never boring. I've always been fascinated by the stars and planets.
Ofcourse, I'm a quirk so nobody around me really understands my love for star gazing, leading to endless criticisms about it (that I have to deal with) and hardly getting the chance to sit down on our 3rd floor balcony and meander amongst my thoughts and the stars.
It's been a year since I first sat down to look for constellations, planets- anything that would make me FEEL something..a sense of freedom perhaps? I'm probably not making any sense.
So that would fall under just gazing...but I teach myself things about the sky too! I can read the skies. Last month, I spotted saturn right next to the leo constellation. It was, without a doubt, an amazing site! but ofcourse I had to look very closely to see it. Saturn is pretty hard to spot because it's distinguished by sharp light that
kinda flickers. The rainy season just ended, clearing most of the dust in our atmosphere and granting us an untainted sky that lets us see more than we think we can.
I also managed to spot the gemini and virgo constellations.....Next up it's Jupiter. I'll let you know when I've managed to spot that one ;)
Oh and just so we're on the same page, I'm no genius lol I manage to read the skies so well only with a map of it in my hand :P but I'm slowly (very slowly lol) starting to manage without one
Something new on my wishlist - A telescope. :/

Tanzanian Pride.
So I was at a store the other day and I saw some arab lady (who has CLEARLY lived her entire life in TZ) pretending to not know how to speak Kiswahili! :S It came to me as a major shock that someone would feel humiliated to speak a language that is a part of them! I quite frankly am EXTREMELY proud of the fact that I am a fluent Kiswahili speaker. Hell, it adds lots to my character!
Tanzania is my home and Tanzania is my pride.
So I was in a patriotic mood and decided to make a blend on photoshop using some pictures I took on my last trip to Mikumi National Park. It's around an hour and a half away from where I live in Morogoro.
Amani na Upendo translates to Peace and Love.

A twin-soul rendezvous?
I was reading the Daily News paper the other day and guess what I spotted? An Ad for applications to the Limkokwing University in Cyberjaya Malaysia! :S
(Noor, isn't that where you're at?)
Well, that's clearly a freakin' sign! Even destiny calls out for the reunion of the long lost twin-souls! LOL

I was bored so I turned on the television and sat down to watch an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show and boy oh boy did I laugh my head off! It was an episode from the previous season and since it was taped on a date nearing halloween, she aired a few prank videos from youtube! They were HILARIOUS! I tried to look for them on youtube but no luck :( I'm not going to give up till i find these videos and put the links here! They're too funny too ignore lol

ok......the moment's over. time for bed :/

 

Ok...so this is my first post.
I don't really know what to write :S but i figured it was about time I got over my laziness and put SOMETHING on this page! I'm not very good with intros so i'm gonna pass on that one lol
So,what should I blog about?
hmmm let me think...oh, i got it!
I was online carelessly searching for anything interesting on photoshop when i came across this - Free online courses on adobe! It would be so cool if i could sign up and participate but i'm not so sure my net connection is up for it :S

I've been trying to download the illustrator CS3 and dreamweaver CS3 trial versions but i've had no success. Does anyone know of any links? not torrents, i'm not interested in torrents...i don't have anything like bittorrent installed on my pc and to download the setup would be a whooole different thing! 
You have no idea what i've been through just writing this post! lol
First, the electricity went off (yeah this is tanzania, that shit happens ALOT lol) so my pc shut down and  i lost everything. Then, i tried to insert a link and the PC froze :S (don't ask me why, i have no clue!)
I better post this before something else goes wrong...!
