Haute Couture
The type of fashion design which predominated until the 1950s was "made-to-measure" or haute couture, (French for high needlework). The term made-to-measure may be used for any garment that is created for a specific client. Haute couture, however, is a protected term which can only be officially used by companies that meet certain well-defined standards set by the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture. Nonetheless, many ready-to-wear, and even mass market labels, claim to produce haute couture, when in fact, according to established standards, they do not. A couture garment is made to order for an individual customer, and is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric, sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Look and fit take priority over the cost of materials and the time it takes to make

ok..today was really cool cause it was my first Spanish Lesson.
the lecturer was born and raised in chicago,she's really nice and sweet and she looks really young.prob in the early twenties.
Anyway,we learn quite alot on how we pronounce the alphabets,like
-'A' is spoken as 'ah'
-'J' as jota(but u pronounce it as hota)
for 'J' u say it as 'H'
for 'H' u don't say the letter at all..i now it's quite confusing and everyone in class was like huh?huh?huh?but,we got the hang of it..haha!
ok,just a few..and also you have
1)hola(say 'ola'),me llamo(say 'yah-moh') Debbie.?y(say 'e') tu?
means,'Hello,my name is Debbie.and you?
but when they are asking a qn,there's always a inverted qn mark in front of the qn and another one at the end of the sentence.All the basic ones..
but i don't know how to invert here..lol
2)?como se(say 'seh') llama(ya-ma)?
means'what is your name?'
now,i know why lamborghini gallardo is pronounce the way kc always does..haha
3)?Como estas?
means 'how are you'?
then you can say,
4)Bien(say bee ant), Gracias
means'well,thank you'
i know the those words in bracket seems really dumb but i tried to make it sound as perfect as possible..abit -_-.
ok,im still quite an amateur..lol and there's going to be a oral and written test about it at the end of the semester..Till then,stay tune for more Spanish phrases

School starts tmr..argh..it's so fast,i seriously haven't enjoy/relax enough and we're back in school already.And in 7 more weeks,exams will start.
Anyway,what B.D said at cgm really spoke to me alot,he made us think what is it that make us the salt and light in our world,what can we do to be the S&L in the world(refers to your sch,wrkplace,camp etc.)
Little things like being helpful can touch others deeply and being invovled in my friends life,bring the 'out' people into the 'In' crowd.Stuff like asking them to join us for lunch will be great to let them feel accepted and being a friendship maker can make the whole environment in class so much different.It is how you behave in class,actions that you do,words that you speak that your friends see in you.
And it's a challenge that i want to take up and let God really guide me in my studies,my relationship with my closest friends and my classmates.
Never judge a book by it's cover,been said by many gazillion times but many still ignores the simple 4 words.We'll just have to try getting to know the person even if you don't like his/her face.haha..like seriously..Ok,im sounding so angelic..lmao.
But give it a shot people,you never know,they might turn out to be 1 of your closest buddies.
Cant wait to see you SHIR,JR,XY AND STANNN TMR!!!!I LOVE YOU ALL AND MISSING YOU GUYS LIKE CRAZY!!!

First of all,
To someone i know..=)sometimes things are not the way you like it.You could have been hoping for something yet it doesn't come to pass.Fret not on what others say,in fact you should lift your head and tell yourself' I did my best and the best that i could have done' If it doesn't come to pass,like you said God might want you take a different path for 2007 to do something else.You can try and you could ace in that.Find some one to talk to but ya,we still love you girl..But just want to say i'm proud of having you as a sister and just keep going to acheive what you want.
**Psalm 32:8**
The Lord says,''I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.I will advise you and watch over you.
Kc is super on fire for God now,so glad to see him move up and that our new friends is in good hands.^^
He was telling me how Terry is very open to him in camp and to God and that although it might take some time to let him settle down in a more charismatic church,it'll definitely come to pass.Keep working!ya,and im on the other hand working on his gf,but its great cause we both get along pretty well.Time for new friends people!
Oh oh,and i went kbox with diana,wendy,wenlong,ben,kc.We were super high in the beginning and after that..totally died down..Sing and jump on cushion till so tired..haha..and its like so exp...-_- but it was all worth it..Getting to know them even more was great.oh man,the calcutta song was totally insane man..LOL..super super hilarious!!haha..anyway..will update pics soon!
(JAMIE AND ADE!!Don't say we didnt think of you but u guys werent in town..-_-)some other time..haha..=D
Anyway,God has really been faithful to me,I've been constantly blessed financially throughout the whole of june like seriously alot..and not once/2 weeks or something but it's everyweek..Don't want the month of June to stop..>_<..haha..Im glad things are going smoothly and really happy to be serving God.
