Yes it's deepavali once again. Yay. If you're not in your saris and golden bangles with a pottu on your forehead then congratulations- it's a public holiday for you. A day of shopping, or resting at home. For me the latter cause i've got no plans with anyone. Which isn't a bad thing really. I watched some documentaries just now. 2 back to back in fact. One about vampirism(don't judge) and the other about faith healing. I dunno why such topics intrigue me instead of cute pandas or Steve Irwin or whatever they show on animal planet. Do you know there are people out there or rather modern day vampires who drinks human blood? That's just ... wrong. Of course they don't go around biting people, they have "willing parties" who offer their blood. It's still sounds wrong no? And that documentary on faith healing supposedly there's this brazilian guy who goes by the name of John of God or something and he has this place where he provides healings. It looked pretty incredible cause in some cases he just touches them and heals them. In others he performs "surgeries" to remove tumours etc. He's not a doctor and there's no anaestatic administered and the patients feel no pain. And there's little blood. And he uses his fingers to remove tumours. Weird huh? I think that it's weirder that i'm spending a public holiday watching whacky documentaries in the living room then being in my room. My mom can attest to that. She's like saying that it's nice that i'm outside accompanying her and not in my room. With the weather nowadays so bloody hot it's hard to step into the no air-con zone. My living room is like a furnace.
I think i've gotten used to the constant sweating and dirty hands at camp. Those on the surface of my hands can be washed off but those under the nails are a PITA. Even now my nails are stained black underneath. With what i have no idea. Oil, grease, dirt, lubricant? Probably something SAF invented to make your hands dirtier and your life more miserable. And i dunno if there's such a thing/word, but i'm totally a face-sweater. No it doesn't involve walking around with a garment over my face. It means that i sweat a lot on my face. I mean i can run and run and my face will be soaked in sweat, but my body remains dry. So in my overalls my face will be all sweaty and body's pretty dry. I feel like pulling a xiaxue and saying i "coined" that term - "face-sweater". Ha.
Also i finally bought one of those guitar tuning thing and at last got my guitar tuned. It sounds alright and FYI i can't play for nuts. I simply just go online and read the tabs and try and play. So far i've tried Hey There Delilah it sounds ok and already my left wrist is getting a little sore. Like from just learning one song? This is pathetic. And gosh i can't read chords! There are so many songs written in chords!! Pathetic to the max.
Watch this. HI-LA-RI-OUS. The lead dancer looks like a fried egg y'know. From the 60s.
