Darkest of Knights

AND GUESS WHAT? I am actually okay with it you know? It was a very touching show :] and for once, I actually loved Mai and Zuko together. I actually felt like now, I am glad Katara and Zuko aren't together. Sigh LOVE THE SHOW!!

She walked steadily under the moon's light, threading the path with light footsteps. Her eyes glowed as she lift her head to the sky, she chanted, "children of my forest, let the night comfort your sleep and the moon watch upon you."

A soft melodic tune is hummed from her lips beneath her hood that hides her beauty. She tugs at her hood and with one last look around the forest, she walked away, slowly fading into the darkness. Her song of sleep continued to sing.

In the distance, a Grey wolf sits upon a small hill, watching the lady disappear. As she come to rest, he shall come to watch over her children.

When I saw this photo, well the original, I had to use it because I felt I could really do something with it. And well, look where I got hahaha :] fantasy hehehe I love fantasy. Hope you liked my short drabble for her ^ ^ Photomanipulation is damn fun to do and I love the relaxation it gives. Very fun and interesting to be able to shape a photo to what you hope for it to be.

Honestly, I was shocked that I could sort of change the entire tone and temperature of the photo. Like the original, which I can't seem to put there, no embedding :( (but you can click here to view it), but like the original was entirely different from this. It was much brighter and there was colour in it. You know the skin colour, the background. But now I know how people can turn a simple photo into something so cool, and Magical! ooo enchanting ^ ^

Yes people, it really looks like Zuko and Katara will be together since the next episodes questions Aang and Katara's relationship. If you watch the intro to the next episode, Katara does not have a real answer to Aang's being together hope. As for Zuko's part, I am starting to see some real hope in it. Oh my gosh, I can't believe my dream is coming true!

AND THEY HUGGED!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! *cries* I LOVE U ZUKO AND KATARA!!

They made my day even better than before cause I went to watch The Dark Knight. AHHH AHHH AHHH AHHH I love the movie. I am not squealing....I am screaming! The movie was damn good and I love the Joker although I have to say I was terrified of him in some parts and I laughed at some parts of his actions. My favourite one was at the hospital where he blew it up. He and his nurse outfit hahaha.

It is too bad that Heath Ledger won't be starring again :( he was a fantastic actor who really brought out the psychotic danger and terror and shot it in our hearts, sent shivers down my spine.

This Weekend.....AVATAR!! AHHHHHH I love I love I love Avatar! Then there will the movie oooo I pray for the absolute best!! :D

:P sorry a bit high. Ah well I finished my podcast and voila, I am free. Well almost 70% free right now. Hehehe still got my mum's work to do and print out. Ahh got so many changes to make and I can't seem to get my butt moving on it. Well not butt....fingers. So what did I do to celebrate the end of my project struggle no trauma effect yet? THIS!!

And this is the same but I added an overlayed sea shell on her picture to give that mermaid effect....hopefully :S

SYDNEY (AFP) - - The scandal over child sex abuse by Catholic priests flared again Wednesday as Pope Benedict XVI prepared to take centre stage at the world's biggest Christian festival in Sydney.

While more than 200,000 young pilgrims attended beach concerts, barbecues and religious classes, the pope and the head of the Australian church, Cardinal George Pell, faced the parents of two victims of abuse.

The pilgrims are in Sydney for World Youth Day celebrations, which will be led by the pope from Thursday at the end of his four-day holiday at a retreat on Sydney's outskirts.

But the scandal over sex abuse by clergymen has partly overshadowed the festival, despite the pope's pledge on Sunday to apologise to victims as he did in the United States in April.

And in a move that could further complicate the papal visit, the pontiff's spokesman, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, cast doubt on the form of the pope's planned statement, expected on Saturday.

"I draw your attention to the term 'apology' that journalists are using," Lombardi, director of the Vatican press office, told a press conference late Wednesday.

"The pope in the plane (to Australia) spoke of the problems of sexual abuse but I don't think he said he would apologise and I advise you to listen to what the pope says" when he raises the issue, he said, without elaborating.

The pontiff was however clear when he told journalists he would examine how the church can "prevent, heal and reconcile" the past crimes of the clergy.

"This is the essential content of what we will say as we apologise," the pope had said.

The father of two girls abused by a Melbourne priest, one of whom committed suicide, meanwhile said he and his wife were on their way back to Australia from Europe to confront the church over its attitude to paedophilia.

Anthony Foster told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. he would not accept an apology unless the pontiff also changed the way the church and its lawyers dealt with victims of sex abuse.

"I want them to set up a system which provides lifetime help to victims, a system where they beg forgiveness of the victims," he said.

Foster said he planned to make a public statement when he arrived and would demand a response from the pope and Pell.

He said he hoped the pope would grant him an audience to hear his demands, but added: "I should not have to try to see them. They should be coming to us to beg our forgiveness."

Foster's daughter Emma committed suicide this year aged 26, after struggling to deal with having been repeatedly abused by a senior Catholic priest while she was at primary school, ABC said.

Her sister Katie was also abused and turned to alcohol in her teens before being left brain-damaged after being hit by a car while drunk, the broadcaster reported.

The priest involved, Father Kevin O'Donnell, died in 1997 after serving time in jail for multiple sex offences, but the Fosters had to fight an eight-year legal battle for compensation from the church, ABC said.

World Youth Day coordinator Bishop Anthony Fisher angered the parents by telling reporters that most people were focusing on the positive aspects of the event "rather than dwelling crankily as a few people are doing on old wounds".

The Fosters told Australian news website ninemsn.com from Tokyo's Narita airport that they were deeply hurt by the bishop's "very insensitive" comments.

The remarks showed "a complete lack of understanding of the victims, that there are so many people out there that really do have open wounds", said the girls' father.

Pell described the story of Emma Foster as "tragic", saying he had apologised to her and her family in 1998.

"I met with her parents. We offered them some financial help. We also offered them counselling," he told reporters.

The pope, who Lombardi said was likely to address the issue of sexual abuse Saturday while meeting with bishops and Australian novices, left his semi-rural retreat for St Mary's Cathedral House in central Sydney late Wednesday.

The 81-year-old pontiff, who has been recovering from jet-lag after the 20-hour flight from Rome, will make his formal arrival in Sydney in a 14-vessel "boat-a-cade" on the harbour on Thursday.

He is expected to be welcomed by crowds on spectator craft and harbourside vantage points before disembarking and addressing a gathering of some 150,000 pilgrims.

He will then take to his more traditional "Popemobile" for a tour of the city streets, which are expected to be lined with up to 500,000 people, organisers say.

Like....whoa  O.o

After lunch at Pizza hut, I had a very bad stomach ache. When to the toilet three times...diarrohea. Now it wasn't the food I ate at Pizza hut, I am very sure of that. Too fast to act. I am pretty sure it was last night's curry chicken :S was it a sourish and I had a tad bit too much. Sigh....so I was very upset in the stomach and you can say...it was a very unpleasant start today.

After the second trip, I felt like I needed to go home but I told myself, no...I came here to do my editing, if I don't stay, it is all going to do down the drain. So I stuck it for the last round trip and it finally settled. No more pain. Yup :] and I had a good editing throughout. Although I did not get to finish it, I will have time to complete it tomorrow I'm sure.

Oh and another piece of good news, I got the cart booked for the test tube collection that I am selling this friday. It's a school event thing. My group and I finally figured out where to go to do the bookings. Yup and we got the place.

Right now I am doing my podcast. I basically sort of finished my written report. Just trying to find a proper way of ending the report. Music wise is fine I guess, simple music should do. My voice Ah good enough :P

You know another piece of good news? After tomorrow, my project worries are over! It's the theories that come into fear now :\ help me! Looking forward to Dark Knight on Friday :] woohoo batman and joker!! I don't care, during the movie I am going to have my beef Bolognese hot dog and chilli fries!! Woot yum! Going to chunk some junk food down my stomach during the movie.

Ah...I think I best get back to my podcast. DARK KNIGHT!

Sorry was listening to Mulan song, I'll make a man out of you. :] I love the last part of the chorus, "Mysterious as the Dark Side of the Moon".

And thus I made another Eye Manipulation, second attempt, and called it Mysterious as the Dark Side of the Moon. Before I go on, I must apologize for my three time topic of my....month thing hehehe I was just waiting to see my dear woman's reaction and it worked! Victory is mine!

Okay so back to where I was, I am actually happy with my second attempt :]. The eye is not by me and the brushes are not mine either. Just for a note. If anyone is interested in the brushes or the eye that I used, go to my deviant page and check under that piece, artist's comment. The Info is right there.

Yep that is what happens when I procrastinate my Written Report for my Podcast. It is very likely I won't finish my report by tonight. Isn't that just fancy :P of me....Ladies and Gentlemen, exit stage....left. ^ ^ sorry randomness.
 
I guess I should really get back to doing my report. One page down...another page to go I guess. I still got to get pictures and set out music for my podcast assignment. Me going to take my shower so I will be back :P

Let's just hope when I get back I will set my fingers on my podcast. :]
