Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???"

Reservations will mean that you have priority in purchasing the product. If you've made a reservation I will contact you once I start packaging and shipping (which will be Saturday, June 21) for confirmation of your order. Reservations are good for one week from that date :) Pre-orders are for requesting pieces similar to the ones posted here. If you like something here but it's already been reserved, you can place a pre-order and I'll work on another piece using the same design. Please add <a href="http://likhain.multiply.com">http://likhain.multiply.com</a> and send me a private message to make a reservation or a pre-order. You can also order a custom piece, just message me through <a href="http://likhain.multiply.com">http://likhain.multiply.com</a> .

He really bubbles over with energy and likes to take centre stage. He loves variety both professionally and privately. The groundbreaking thinker tackles changes consistently with his optimism and firm belief in his own abilities; he is always on the look-out for improvement possibilities. His excellent communication skills are of great advantage to him here. He approaches the world with curiosity and openness and masters new situations with a great deal of talent for improvising and with resourcefulness. His spare time is taken up with a large number of hobbies; most groundbreaking thinkers like to travel in order to gather as many different impressions as possible. This personality type is unbeatable at discovering new possibilities. In his work, the groundbreaking thinker highly rates challenges and diversified tasks.

I dipped my hand into the question bag, pulled out a scrap of paper, and-- what do you know, I got the most interesting question of them all: <i>Talk about a current issue: (list of a lot of national and political issues), etc.</i> I focused on the <i>etc.</i> part. Since I didn't really feel like discussing JPEPA or the rice crisis, I chose to talk about (what else?) <i>Mga Ibong Mandaragit</i> and what's been written about it in various blogs over the past few days. I liked discussing that issue with my professor, and I think he found it interesting as well. We ended up talking about blogs and Wordpress and feed readers. Good times. -- Just before I took the exam, my professor looked at the attendance sheet and asked, "What high school did you come from?" I paused, trying to gauge whether this was a good question or... a bad question. The last time a professor asked me ... http://ephemere.multiply.com/journal/item/461/I_r_in_your_history_writing_bad_fanfic Wed, 21 May 2008 17:58:00 -0000 <img src="http://mia.lux-lucis.net/02twilight03.jpg"> A pendant this time.

A bag charm in pearl, abalone, crystal, glass, and silver wire. Notes: Helloooo huge jump rings! I'll probably buy more -- sterling silver ones this time -- when I move on to making bracelets. I used white and purple freshwater pearls strung on silver wire (the rings the pearls are hanging on are made of wire twisted together; I liked the organic look); abalone and mother of pearl chips; clear (aurora borealis) and pale yellow crystals; champagne crystal bicones; assorted silver bead spacers; golden glass seed beads. My favorite part is the pearl ring at the end -- I left the pearls a little space to move on the wire, and I think it made the way the charm hangs a lot more interesting. The dragonfly at the very end is actually a pretty detailed charm, but the photo didn't manage to capture that. I'll take pictures of the details http://ephemere.multiply.com/journal/item/454/Sparkle Sun, 18 May 2008 05:30:00 -0000 Finally got around to importing some pics from the new digicam. <img src="http://mia.lux-lucis.net/claywave.jpg"> <img src="http://mia.lux-lucis.net/clayfire.jpg"> Two experiments in clay and acrylic.
