Darn Wire Sculpture

It’s for my Design Fundamentals class.. So I made these two study sketches of what I’d like to make a wire sculpture on and the prof got to approve one of them, she of course chose the harder one. It looked so simple to me so I was like all right, lets see what happens.

So the approved one has the signature.. Excuse the drawings: we were only given 10 minutes to think of two ideas AND sketch them, too. And I already got a roll of gague 24 brass wire.. And started on it (of which picture I will not show) And it’s difficult.. Lol. It won’t stand. I did it wrong.. I twisted the wires so much, it’s acting like a big spring: all wobbly and not stiff at all.

I’m gna try fixing it or I’ll have to make an entirely new one.. Who would’ve thought it’s so complicated? Lol.. I certainly didnt.

Oh yeah.. There’s something unbelievable but incredibly true that happened yesterday when we got our Business Maths’ pre-midterm exams back: I. Got. The. Perfect. Score. Lol.. 100 items out of 100. Can you believe it? I can’t believe it.. I mean hello, it’s Maths..

I wna watch Lady In the Water.. But the trailer sorta creeped out my Aunt so I might not watch it with her.. Lol. I’ll look for someone to drag with me..

Yesterday afternoon I was left at the shop all alone with this couple and they started asking me questions in Visayan (a dialect here) and for a moment there, I just stood and stared at them.. Lol. But I was really thinking fast and quick, aqbout how I was gna tell them I don’t know the prices without offending them and trying to decide which language to use: Tagalog or English since I can’t speak Visayan at all. And so I finally vomited the words.. in English and they got flustered for a bit, too.. Lol. So I ran outside to the other office to get Jopie, one of the girls at the store who was making a draft for the invitations the couple was ordering and sorta made her panic. And then the phone rang. So I had to answer that, too. And thank goodness I could catch some words from the called like “time” “store” “opens” so.. I told her when the store opens tomorrow (it’s the same every day anyway and Thank God for “tag-lish” or “bisaya-lish”?). And that was over.. And then the phone rang again. And I could NOT understand at all what the person was saying so I asked her to speak either in Tagalog or English.. Lol. I seriously hate it when the phone rings and it’s just me there.. My heart literally jumps because I just know I wouldn’t understand the caller.

I just read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It’s a surprising book. It’s a story being told by a girl who was murdered when she was 14 and she tells it in her heaven. In that book, each of us has a different kind of heaven after life, depending on our desires. It’s just really well written. I especially loved how it starts:

My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Suzie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.

I gobbled it up. I’m a sucker for really good books. And magazines. Speaking of which, Mega’s late…
