The Question on Finding Someone

Thursday, November 12, 2009 11:02 PM

To those whom I have promised to make art for:

I'LL STILL DO IT. :)))

----------

It's so funny how, while everyone who matters to me changes, I still remain the same.

The change: relationship status.

They were single, and now they're in a relationship. Or they were in a relationship, are still in a relationship, and are now happier than ever. Or they were in a relationship, broke up, and got back together with their significant other.

My friends seem to have found someone they deem suitable for themselves... we're all in the same age, so why haven't I found mine?

HAHA. I'm sorry; I'm making it sound like sad news, but it actually isn't :)) I just find it weird that my friends have found someone whom they feel they fit perfectly with, whereas I have only gone as far as finding someone whom I think looks really cute XD Why? What is the chemical formula of love? Do people really find someone whom they have perfect chemistry with even though they're still on their teens? Or are my standards just too high to find someone who'll click with me?

I think... I better sleep. I've been sleepy for a week now.

From the Storm to Art

Monday, October 19, 2009 4:02 PM

Gah, it's such a pity that I always start my blog posts by apologizing, but anyway - sorry, blog, that I was too lazy to update you -_- There are actually a couple of drafts here in my dashboard, but I didn't bother finishing them.

So - updates!

I. Storm

Hoe's everyone doing? I hope you guys are all well and accounted for. The storm didn't bring any damage to our house at all, even though we live in Cainta. Our subdivision was 80% flooded, but no water entered our house, and it didn't flood our part of the road, either.

The following day after the storm, though, I took dad to the airport, since he had a flight to France. He woke me up at 6 AM, and since we both thought that I was only going to take him up until outside the village, I didn't bother eating or washing my face. But heck, it was A BIG MESS in Cainta - and Marikina, for that matter - that we had to go straight to the airport. We arrived at 10:15 AM, and due to the HELLISH traffic at Marikina (severely devastated place - you'd think such devastation was only in the movies), I got home at 5 PM :|

II. School

It's now officially my sem break :D I actually have pretty good grades - they haven't been released yet, but our prof's gave our standing at the last day of the class. The first sem has been so easy - I hope it's just as easy next semester.

III. Crushes

None as of the moment. Nothing of the sort's happening right now XD

IV. Hobbies

I've focused on my art since two weeks ago; I really want to draw well and become literate at Photoshop. Because I needed motivation, I opened a free art request - people over at DeviantArt asked me to draw stuff, and I did. Here are the results:

For a descriptions, click on the picture. It'll open a new tab, unto the website where I put 'em :D

IF YOU'VE GOT AN ART REQUEST, TELL ME! I'D BE HAPPY TO DRAW WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO DRAW - BUT I DON'T ACCEPT PORNOGRAPHIC STUFF, YEAH? XD Not because I don't want to, but because I haven't studied the human anatomy well yet. HAHAHA KIDDIIIIIING!

2009 Christmas wish list!

Wednesday, September 16, 2009 12:50 PM

I remember September 1. At such an early date, people were already greeting each other a Merry Christmas. Tweets, Plurks, and Facebook statuses read "It's the start of the 'ber' months! Merry Christmas!" Most if not all of my friends thought it was ridiculous: "The heck? Why's everyone so worked up? It's only September!"

I'd empathize, but actually, I find the excitement quite thrilling. I mean, is there any other country wherein Christmas is celebrated in as early as September? Where people are excitedly telling their friends to buy them gifts for the holidays? Where Christmas carols are, at the start of the ber months, the background music of McDonald's (go to McDonald's Katipunan XD)?

Which goes to my main topic: the wish list. I've already thought about it, but whenever I ask myself what I'd like to have, my mind goes to a blank. It's like - there isn't an item that I'm dying to have. Is it a sign of contentment, or of aging? T_T Gah.

I've rummaged through the deep recesses of my mind :)), and I found some items which I've been wanting for a long time already:

iPhone/iPod
Probability: Hmm... about 40%.
I have a taste in music no radio station could satiate; thus, I need an iPod with me wherever I go. (Wait, what? If that's your only demand, why not just an mp3? You're so maarte Kring ha!) PLUS the fact that MP3's couldn't keep up with the huge amount of music I have. See, I'm a gamer, plus I'm kinda into Japanese stuff (geeky, geeky). Whenever I play a game, or watch a show (whether it be Japanese or not), I download a copy of its OST, so that the memory of the game/show stays with me. So, aside from the mainstream, rock, alternative, RnB, etc that I have, a huge chunk of my music is geeky music.

Wacom Intuos Tablet
Probability: 0.1%
Because I'm active in DeviantArt, I have constantly been inspired by graphic artists who create their works digitally. Digital, as in via computer. I mean, HOW THE F DO YOU MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THIS IN A COMPUTER?? Do you.. draw it on MS Paint? o_O *shoots self* Then I found out that they do it using the Wacom Intuos tablet. What happens is, you connect it to the PC, draw on the tablet's screen, and voila! Your drawing, while you're working on it, is immediately put in the computer. You don't have to scan your art works anymore, plus it'd be a whole lot easier to color them using Photoshop or SAI.

Teeth Whitening
Probability: 30%
I have a condition called fluorosis - that is, I was overexposed to fluorine when I was a kid (I USED TOO MUCH TOOTHPASTE ;_;), so now I have mottled teeth. Some parts of my teeth are white; some, yellow; the uneven color of is very obvious. So PLEASE ;_; I've been asking this for two years now. Bleach my teeth, mum, dad!!!

Vans slip-on
Probability: 70%
These shoes are soooo nice! They're really comfy, plus they look great on any outfit. I want my first pair this Christmas! I hope I'd get these - every year, my parents buy us siblings new outfits to wear for the holidays XD So I'll tell 'em I want a pair of Vans slip-ons.

Good luck nalang sakin, di ba? Hehe. But compared to my Christmas wish list two years ago, the items here are more realistic (except for the tablet) XD

Yuna and Tidus

Sigh, this scene still gets to me <3 It's been... 3-4 years, I think, since I last played FFX, but this has got to be one of the most kilig scenes ever~

Speaking of kilig... what's the English word for it? Swoon? I don't think there's a translation that really captures the meaning of it :)

Quick post! Just inspired by the video <3

When you've got lots of time in your hands...

Monday, August 24, 2009 2:15 PM

Hee. I haven't updated for the longest time (Hm, I've been using that as an opening line for quite some time now)! And the longer the time I don't blog, the more stories I accumulate! So, shall we start? :D

I. Barkada
Last Thursday Shan, Joan, Jenny, Maja, Nikko, Ame, and I got together to swim at Ame's condo. I had BV's (bad vibes) while on the trip to her place - I even cried, the hell - but because my friends aren't the type to make a big deal out of it, I eventually felt better emotionally. Thank goodness, these guys know me well.

Me while driving Kiko

...The people inside the car. It's amazing how these guys find ways to fit themselves in the car. Both Ame and Joan were at the passenger's seat XD

After eating, Ame, Joan, Maja and I went swimming

Playing... water wrestling? LOL XD But eventually I switched with Maja and carried her instead

While we were swimming, Jenny and Nikko spent some quality time together...

...and Shan studied. Nursing *sigh*
I got home at about 10 PM. Thank god I talked to mum over the phone before going home - it was in that conversation that she told me off XD HAHAHA, it's not my fault she forgot that I was going to go swimming!

II. Photo Shoot

Last August 15, Ashleiy, Elisa, and I went to UP Diliman to do a shoot. It was for an exhibit in which Ashleiy's part of; the official pictures are going to be released on Sept. 15 or 16, I think. Anyway, the theme of the shoot is coffee, so you'll see us holding mugs in some of the pictures.

Note: Please, please don't steal the pictures!

So, here are the people behind the shoot XD

Elisa Aquino
Thunderpopcola.tumblr.com

Ashleiy Kasala
Ashleiy.multiply.com

And, well, me XD

Here are some of the pictures which I edited. These aren't the final pictures; I haven't seen them yet, actually.

Elisa's actually 2 batches lower than us, but despite that, she's a really good model! Really confident and comfortable in front of the camera. She actually teased me and said, "Ate, you can't do my poses; you're so stiff." Sorry na XD

I hope that I'd be able to have more shoots, since I would want to show the pictures to my future son/daughter. Hahaha! Yun pa rin yung dahilan? XD

III. School
With regards to academics, I can say that my performance this sem is much better compared to the last. The only problem I have as of now is Fil 14 (Kring, Fil?! But you speak Filipino!). I'm not failing the subject! It's just that I need to catch up in order to get a good grade.

With regards to more personal matters *ahem ahem* HAHAHA! Once again, I can't share my story in public -_- If I know you, though, and you want to find out, you can ask me personally or email me. I can't divulge anything because... well. These matters aren't like before. They're more, er, complex?

Oh! I have a happy crush! :D For some reason, I always get attracted to guys who look like Gerard Way.

Here's the scene.

I had a meeting with my Comm group mates last Tuesday. When we finished, I got out of the room, and crap - through the windows of the building, I saw that it was raining hard. I thought I had my umbrella with me, so I rummaged my bag, only to find that it wasn't there - I left it in my car. How was I supposed to go out of the building?

As if hearing my complaints, God answered and told me to scan my surroundings. Then I saw him - the Gerard Way guy, whom I of course know personally :)) - walking in the rain, a big umbrella in his hand. Since it seems to be the only solution, I ran towards him and went under his umbrella. He was a gentleman, offering to go with me to my destination, but since we were heading towards the same area, we just talked about random things :) Hehe.

Anyway, gotta scoot! I have to finish a project -_-
