Well, in my last post I offered to draw anything that you wanted if you sent me a picture of you kissing a fish! And there has been… no-one :-P. So I haven’t drawn for a while and since February is quite a short month, you guys only have 4 days until the expiry date expires :-P, so I guess I wont be drawing for another while… I guess I could just come up with something to draw but that’s no fun :-P!
Also in the last post I was telling you guys about the U.S. spy satellite, well, they shot it down over the Pacific Ocean on the night of the total lunar eclipse. Oh! Yes, did anyone get to see the lunar eclipse on Thursday (the 21st)? I was so upset, I was determined to get up at 04:01 (it was going to happen at 03:01-03:51 GMT, we’re an hour ahead) to watch it but my dad got up and it was cloudy :-(, he took some pictures of the clouds though ;-P.
So last weekend we went for a two hour drive, to an “African Safari Reserve”. It was… the COOLEST place… EVER (excluding Disney Land of course :-P). The first part you drive around, rhinos, giraffes and general wildlife, going into ostriches (one attacked my window >.<>
(/:-O This giraffe has a special abilty to walk on walls!! :-P Sorry about that only just realised that it's sideways now /:-(. )
We weren’t allowed to stop when we went through the bears and lions, so we just drove extremely slowly, and also went around the lions twice :-P. The baby bears were the cutest little things, wrestling and playing but the older ones… weren’t too lively :-P. It was an exceptionally beautiful place, really great to see all of the animals have so much freedom and space!
After driving around it became a walk around zoo but when we climbed a path way :-O! The view that uncovered itself was magnificent, it was an outlet from the ocean with hundreds of little pink blobs in it, getting closer you realised that they were flamingos.
(Venetia and I standing in front of the view of the outlet and the ocean beyond. I'm the destructive nuisance breaking all of the rules by sitting on the railings :-P.)
Before we got to the flamingos though, I spotted the cutest little thing and had to get a photo with him… Aww! I named him Rocky… how very original :-P.
We also saw the cutest little baby pot belly pig, he had the funniest of frights from this large, evil one that kept running around and scaring the smaller ones made grunts… aww! And also a joey (a baby kangaroo) come out of it’s mother’s pouch! Now he was cute!
This monkey kept coming over to the window and as soon as we took the picture he would run away and disappear from view so most of the pictures are just of the enclosure half of the time :-P… this is the only non-blurred one that my sister caught, of course when she took another one when the monkey turned to look at us this is how it turned out :-P.
Of course, most of the pictures of me there aren’t so great, since someone, not looking at anyone in particular (Mom) rudely awoke me at 07:47… well I was actually woken gently and handed a cup of tea :-P… but this doesn’t take away from the matter that I was woken at… THAT time :-P… I do appreciate my weekend sleep-ins :-P. Of course it was well worth getting up that early, it does take a good few hours to make your way through that park. If you happen to ever go, the website says that you can’t bring a dog with you… it lies!! Once you get there, you’re allowed to bring your dog every where except into the goat pen… well no, duh :-P! So Gizmo, was left at home all day :-(.
I was really looking forward to the goat pen actually, I just love those creatures, but once we finally reached it, I was slightly put off by the ages of the kids (HA! Kids! Like baby goats… but I was literally referring to the children) in the pen with the goats… yes, I’ve long surpassed that age :-P. So I just watched from a distance… envious :-P.
(This is the type of camel that I rode in Tunisia, the dromedary camel.)
I’ve recently started doing Tai Qi (also spelt Tai Chi, I believe). It feels like I’ve been doing it forever, 4 days in a row is quite a feat for me… especially getting up and doing it on a Sunday, wow! Yes, this morning I woke up and was in terrible muscular pain… but after doing another half hour of Tai Qi, I’d quickly forgotten about the pain. It’s extremely relaxing, you feel as if you’re a floating cloud when you’re finished… but this, of course, does not mean that you can actually levitate :-P. And the muscles I’ve got now! Oooh, don’t mess with me :-P!
Oh a few days ago I decided to do a little bit of poetry writing. I ended up writing three but I don’t want to bore you so I’ll only post one or two up… Oh okay! I’ll post up a gaming poem that I wrote the other day and a war poem that I wrote a little while back, you’ll eventually get to hear… or read all of my poems, I’ll just have to try to remember to post them up every time I post up… a post… /:-S Serious over load on the word “post”… Post, post, post! I’m so sorry, but I had to, it was so tempting :-P.
*************************************************
As I stared across that silent hill,
I wondered how many more they’d kill,
I couldn’t even guess how many were dead,
These great men of my country had fought and bled,
Among them I knew my father lay,
What would my mother have to say?
As I turned the lifeless bodies over,
Stripped of their weapons and their cover,
I asked myself will this ever go away?
No, this is simply a game that they like to play.
By Bianca Cassandra P. (Me… who knew, huh? :-P)
*************************************************
I’ve always wanted to hear those whispers and secrets,
The sniggers and giggles,
And yet I just can’t seem to mingle,
I share my life with the “count-down box”,
Same place, all day,
I sit here and play,
Wasting my life away,
As my time crumbles,
I just can’t seem to stop hitting “stumble”,
It’s clearly a disease,
As I slowly gain weight,
And live in a state,
Old dishes piling up,
Sticky coffee cups!
I can’t sleep, or work,
What’s the point in making friends?
They’re all just jerks,
No! I yell out in despair, that stupid bugger!
How could he dare?! I hit the keyboards and whack the screen,
I can’t believe this has happened to me again,
He’s slain me for the last time!
A level 70 elite?! That should be a crime!
I can’t take any more, I’ve become such a bore!
I delete my characters, erase my account,
I clean my house, shower and shave,
But then I realise, oh no! I did not save!
As I walk slowly to the computer,
I fight back, go outside and make a vow,
That I shall make friends, this is now the very end.
By Bianca Cassandra P. (Me again :-P)

If you’ve ever played World of Warcraft or used Stumble Upon, you’ll be able to relate to the latter poem completely, because of how addictive they can be :-P.
Okay I’ll leave it at that, and I’m hoping to hear from you all soon!
