Days pass by

It's Sunday today and most people are going to party and here I am staying at home practicing all day and night long. I really wanted to develop my artistic skills and make great works that anyone would appreciate. I've been troubled regarding my college grades. I hope my mom would understand why my grades turned out to be like that due to the tight schedule. It feels like it will take a long time to become a famous visual artist. It will be hard to obtain my own style of art and may take quite a while to harness the edge of my left hand.

There are many categories of art but I prefer fantasy, realism, abstract but I can do any type of painting category. My painting career as of now is slow but still hoping I could get a boost on it and I'll be waiting for that time.

Boring, Boring....boring

It's been days since my last post...what should I do? Within this day I was just doing nothing but just being a bystander at school. I really can't make a good post as of this day and can't think of a new thing to do. Maybe I'll make a new digital work to submit to deviantART. I've been thinking of what digital work should I paint. I'll try to look on some influence on deviantART artists. They really make good artworks.

Start of a new day, Classes begin...

Well as my latest painting, I think it was going well. I'm still hoping to finish it and make a new one. I really need to buy more materials for my painting. I think school is going to be a tough part of my life because of the hardships that we students can encounter. After school there is graduation and after graduation there is to apply for a job. Not that I am going to graduate this semester. I'm just saying that life is but a challenging experience.

Never experienced being so pressured these days. Come to think of it, I was shouting out loud during the pageant. I have been cheering for the contestants...just giving them a support. Of course, they're from the College Of Arts And Sciences like I am. I just don't know what will happen this next few days and the more days to come. Classes are about to start again and I'm still studying HTML but at only at the beginning part. My Web designing skills are not good and still developing them.

Miss College Of Arts And Sciences 2009

Wow! I was really amazed about yesterdays Miss College Of Arts And Sciences presentation. The candidates were splendid and their beauty just awed most of the audience. They were flawless and they showed off how gorgeous they were. The declared winner for the beauty pageant was candidate number 8.

I was really attracted to, if I wasn't mistaken, candidate number 3, who was wearing the red gown. She was pretty during the pageant and was really attractive to the crowd. She was stunning and splendid and she dances good, she walks gracefully, she speaks well like a beauty queen and she deserves to be a candidate. I forgot her name and maybe we will meet again someday.

BLASSREITER

BLASSREITER
Finally, I finished watching this Anime and maybe make a blog post about this. This anime has splendid graphics and it's a mixture of 2d and 3d animations. The main character in the story is Joseph Jobson also known as Blue. He struggles and fights against the main foe which is Xargin whos main purpose is to wipe out Germany. Xargin conquers together with his minions but XAT is there always to stop him.

I can't understand much about the story though but you must better watch it. I was just really amazed about its animation. Correct me if I'm wrong about the story plot.

Vector art that I made.

Vector based graphic made on Adobe Illustrator CS3
I am really eager to post about this art that I made about a month ago. It is a vector art that I made and it's a banner that I put on my social networking sites in order for them to know about my blog and it's still a practice. I've been practicing on doing vector based graphics and make flash graphics. But, as of now, I would like to concentrate on painting. I need to have a very good foundation in realism and it is mainly the art that is popular even until now.

Just a while ago I got to school but never concentrated on studying HTML but amidst that I went together with a friend in a seminar or an orientation. I was entertained by this orientation and there were presentations with that Japanese. They sang Japanese songs and it was entertaining. They were talking about the government between Philippines and Japan in the past and in the present.

I really came to a conclusion that I as a student and a son...I should work hard. Due to the fact that my grades were really low and failures on subjects. Maybe it's time to make a change.

Learning through mistakes

Image hosting by IMGBoot.com

Unfinished work during our painting class.

Never been tired these days and still on the survival of my life. My painting skills...well can't notice if I had been improving or not. You can see the picture on my blog post. Maybe you can say that I'm still a beginner and yes I am. As I've been reading the book that me and my mom bought a few days ago, I just noticed that during my high school days, my web designing were until JavaScript but I need to review because I forgot everything.

As I was reading my last post, noticing that I had an error regarding the ISP. People make mistakes and I was really laughing about it because at that time, I was thinking about http (hypertext transfer protocol). So there it goes, my mistake.

Guess I'll won't be posting much this time 'cause of my painting and web design study session. So just wait for the next post. Also, designing for my website maybe a better choice.

Note: Made some edit to my previous post. I just noticed that I wrote the ISP as "Internet Service Protocol" (which was my mistake) and changed it into "Internet Service Provider". I didn't noticed it until now. You can see the post just below.

Words, Phrases, Sentences, Languages, Numbers...Books

Photo taken in the CIT college library.

A great way to spend your time learning would be the library rather than going on to other places of course. You would want to learn more things right? Better stay in the library and read...but also spend time in enjoying yourself, like having a break or snack.

I've been staying in the library since I quit being an online gamer. I admit that I miss those days but when I closed that door it opened a new way for me and it's being a web designer. I've been fascinated by the internet and would like to learn more about it so I decided to learn web designing and read books about it but still as a beginner, I hate to admit that I'm still at the basic part which is HTML. Whew, there still much a long way to go and I'm still 19.

Since my younger days I've been looking on books like the encyclopedia, dictionary, but was never interested in thesaurus (I only read them rarely). I'm interested in books much more related to science, technology, computers, internet. I upgraded from books to the internet which is where you can learn more but as I've been doing online tutorials I've noticed something that there are somethings you can learn on books which are not on the internet. So my tip for those guys or gals who are knowledge thirsty better read books because they're more affordable rather than the internet and you can bring them along. The internet maybe a great source but when your ISP(Internet Service Provider) suddenly cuts of your internet, you can't research or when they're a shortage of electricity or a blackout, you can't do research. Better not leave your books and take care of them.

Lonely Days Painted On Canvas

It has been how many days since I last posted in my blog. So to update, didn't do many things specially in valentines because I don't have a girl to date with and I'm not used to in dating. Seen many artworks in the art gallery is SM but mostly the medium they used was oil but I prefer acrylic and there was only one acrylic painting that I saw.

I've been practicing painting since...uhm....a few months ago? Well, I couldn't remember. Been doing my latest one and still in progress. I've bought new tools for my painting session here at home and bring it at school for the subjects that require my painting skills.

Oohohh...still struggling for my diet and still can't reduce my weight. I've been eating so much and I feel heavier than before. Man...what should I do? I really wanted to loose weight again. There are certainly lots of things to talk about when I was gone and can't make a post a few days ago due to absence of internet at our place.

Trying to find someone?

I just stumbled upon this website and got a useful tool from the one, the only "Google" and this tool is called Google Maps. Of course, Google owns this. It's a great tool for finding the place where you want to go or find the place where you want to apply your job. It is really a useful tool I can tell you. Like when you hear a news about something and don't know where it happened just go to Google Maps and you can type the name of the place or address where it happened.

You can find people you like or you hate, your crush, a celebrity, or a place where you want to go outing, find a place to go or just anything you want to do. I like the tool and I'm getting a hang of it maybe one day I'll get addicted to this.

New pic for my social networking sites.

Image hosting by IMGBoot.com

Yeah I just got my new pic ready. It's for my social networking sites and as you can see you can view it here in my post. I've been doing a lot of study regarding HTML and more a lot about blogging.

There are still problems regarding school. I think I can't make the portfolio for my Package Design class but the good news is I had been painting for my fourth artwork and its subject is a flower because I saw some flowers along my way at home. At first I felt I was hesitating on painting it but...yeah because of the new canvas I bought, I just got a grip on it. The canvas feels good and when you start to make a stroke on it.

I think I'll be using this photo on my about page when I feel like making one. So hold your breath because I'm not yet finished in making this blog and it is still in contruction.

I got a name...the name's romdhar.

Finally I have thought of a name for my website. I know it sounds odd but maybe it will work out. You can see it's name on top and it's tagline. It's entitled "romdhar : think beyond imagination". Maybe this will do it. My blog is about anything I see on the internet and I post about gossips or rumors that are going around in real life or either on the net, I also post about techs or gadgets, news, business and finance, arts and literature, anything I can see around.

So stay tuned for new updates on my blog...I'm making designs for my webpage and its not that easy learning HTML. I'm still a beginner are still refreshing the past lessons I learned about HTML when I was in 2nd year highschool. I've been downloading graphic softwares and been thinking of what the design will be.

Color Blind: Just knew about pets.

Oh man! I just wanted to celebrate that the examinations are finally over...yeah! But, it's just the pre-final exams. There is still the dreaded final examinations and it's another round of pure headache and a motherload of veins sprouting in your head. Just enduring the pressure here at school.

Once I was reading the book about colors in the library but I forgot the books title. I never knew that commonly known pets like domesticated cats and dogs can only see shades of gray. Which means they're color blind. I've learned a lot of knowledge based traditional style of studying in the library. For me, it's better to read rather than spending my time in nonsense activities.

My diet has been crucial and I wanted to loose pounds and get a fitter and toner body. Just like those you usually see on television or either here on the internet. Maybe I have to control my food intake and get my body on exercise and sweat it all out.

Still Studying HTML

I've been doing some designing of my webpage. Yet, I'm still a newbie when it comes to HTML. Research will do it and tons of typing and studying. I'm excited of what will be the outcome of my blog design. Still confused of this HTML thing. Been doing some home study and I'm reading books about HTML but researching on websites.

If you are interested in studying HTML, CSS, and JavaScript you might want to visit html.net or quackit . They can help you in improving your html needs and give you an edge when it comes to web designing.

I'm still thinking of a permanent web name and it has been how many days. I think I can come up with a unique name and hoping it will be very soon.

Examination Explosion

What the?! Examinations...one of the things that I usually hate. You need to study hard in order to get good grades, but my head is full of unwanted topics that won't go away. So instead I just spend time with my friends.

Speaking of studies, I really try hard to make good posts here in my blog. I try to read books which pump juice in my brain and give me some hot topics to discuss on the web. Books are really the case when you want to have knowledge but basically it's also experience that makes you get into it.

Better get your brains working and read, read, and read until your brains explode...just kidding. Even though I'm already turning 20 this year. Hehehe, just enjoy your time.

A few days ago, I just thought of taking a photo of a webcam and and cellphone...I'll try to make a post in here. I'm still sick these days and my cough just won't wear out so I decided to take medicine and wait for a few days until I recover.

Transformers 2 : Revenge Of The Fallen TRAILER


video is better in full screen


I just came to a link that lead me to this YouTube video. I was really surprised that there will be another Transformers movie. I really like the movie because of its spectacular graphics and I could even call it a masterpiece. This will be another great hit this year of 2009.

Valentines : Give A Gift


This season is near...so grab a gift and send it to your loved ones or to your special someone. This season we call Valentines is a season where people, like you and me, give gifts like chocolates, teddies, heart-shaped pillows, and never forget the hugs and kisses.

The best thing about Valentines is you enjoy your time with your...you already know that. Take them in places that they could never forget and cherish that moment in their life. Go get your girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband and go on a date either on the mall (go shopping), eat together in a restaurant (never forget the dim room with candle lights on the table), on the park, or just plainly at home but the most important thing is how you express your love to that person. It's not about the material things you give to her/him. It's how you feel about each other express it and make it a joyful moment.

Just don't get too emotional or cry when she/he says the word "I Love You". Oh, by the way just wanted to say advanced Happy Valentines to everyone. Sad to say, as of now, I don't have a girlfriend and still finding the right one for me. So I'll be staying here at home and do some work...that's what I do best.

Just registered on facebook

I've gotten quite busy these days but in order to take it away, I had to do social networking which is one of my favorite hobby. I've been trying to gain traffic these days but it's hard. Yup, it's not easy to blog because you have lots of competition in SEO and you also need to do research and make a good post on your blog.

Come to think of it, I have been viewing blogs on the net and one way they were trying to gain traffic was on social networking sites. Maybe, it will be a good way. I have already registered on friendster, myspace, and now even on facebook.

Facebook has a simple layout but not easy to use because it has many applications. You might get lost if you don't know where to go in this site. But for me the best feature on this site is finding friends because when you get verified as a facebook member, you don't need to type those hassle captcha words in the screen. So sign up now and don't forget to add me up.

MySpace


MySpace is really a place for friends. It's another great way to hangout besides friendster and facebook. You can see and add lots of friends here because there is no limit on how many friends you can add. You can even add everyone if you can reach it.

There are lots of extra features on MySpace where you can see. They are Apps Gallery, Classifieds, Events, Forums, Groups, School, Top Blogs, IM, Mobile, Celebrity, Comedy, Games, IMPACT, Karaoke, Movies.

You just better register on MySpace rather than just visiting it. Join MySpace and you'll have lots of fun.

Bring Me The Horizon


This is a great band and you'll love to hear them. They are a hardcore band but to specify it, they're a deathcore band. All I can say is they rock the world. One of the greatest bands I've heard since Alesana and I think they're second to my favorite band which is Alesana. They're music is great and they have been making albums and they already made two which is Count Your Blessings and Suicide Season. They made good songs and my favorite song from them is Pray For Plagues. The first album "Count Your Blessings" was released in the year 2006 and the second album "Suicide Season" was released during the year 2008.

The songs on the first album "Count Your Blessing" are Pray For Plagues, Tell Slater Not To Wash His Dick, Braile, A Lot Like Vegas, Black and Blue, Slow Dance, Liquor & Love Lost, (I Used To Make It Out With) Medusa, Fifteen Fathoms, Counting, and Off The Heezay. The songs on the second album "Suicide Season" are The Comedown, Chelsea Smile, It Was Written In Blood, Death Breath, Football Season Is Over, Sleep With One Eye Open, Diamonds Aren't Forever, The Sadness Will Never End, No Need For Introductions, I've Read About Girls Like You On The Backs Of Toilet Doors, and Suicide Season.

Come to think of it, with this band making great songs maybe they will last long. I'm expecting much from this band and hope that they will have more songs and more albums.

Earn Money Online

There are lots of ways to earn money online but the common way to earn money online is through blog or website advertising. One common example is Google Adsense but there are some online advertising like Bidvertiser, AdBrite, Clicksor and many more. A next example would be Selling Ad Space like Blog to Profit, Money4Blogs, Chitika, Crisp Ads, grokAds, Tagword, Textlink Ads. The third example would be Paid Blogging where you make a post about a product and get paid about it, an example on Paid Blogging would be PayPerPost, Social Spark, and ReviewMe. Fourth example is Paid Outsourced Service like Rent-a-Coder, Scriptlance, Getafreelancer, and eLance. Fifth example is Affiliate Marketing where sell someone else's products these are the sites that are available Commission Junction, LinkShare, ShareaSale, and Clickbank. Sixth would be Online Selling like eBay.ph, Auction.ph, Bidshot.com where you sell your products online. Seventh is HYIP and Autosurf Investing but this is a very dangerous way to earn money online because it is just like gambling and you may loose all of your money in this industry. The last Get-paid-to (GPT) Programs not much money is earned from these sites due to most sites here are ending up as scams just like HYIP but one GPT site is supported by McAfee, BlockDos.Net and is even a Paypal and Alertpay verified that site would be Neobux.

Read, To Gain Knowledge

You can read anything from books like topics about your subject or do some research or even just learn new things from it. There lots of topics to read in books like english, math, science, poetry, history, art, designing, cooking, and lots more to see and read. Basically books are meant to acquire knowledge in facts and figures but some just tend to see pictures but don't read anything. Reading books might be a good way to expand your knowledge but never forget to learn from experience.

There are many types of reading materials aside from common books you usually see like encyclopedia, dictionary, thesaurus, magazines, pop-picture books, comics, novels, and many more but the one thing you can get from them which is the most important part is information.

Blogging

Blogging is a good thing to do when having a time on the internet. You can either blog about yourself or blog about something else like photography, reviews, celebrities, business, jobs, places, travel, food and many more topics to add. There lots of websites to register in order to have a blog like Blogger, Wordpress, or even Typepad. Most social networking sites apply blogs too.

You can also learn from blogging like HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It can even give you lots of knowledge when blogging. You'd better use your knowledge in blogging rather than just letting it set aside and have your brain full of cobwebs.

Being a blogger is not an easy job. You need to work hard to drive traffic and learn how to post a good topic every time you make one. Just enjoy your time blogging.

Friendster


I have been in friendster for how many years I think but still cannot make a final account which means I have been in beta stage for this thing. Come to think of it, I may be in friendster since high school but only on my college years I have implied to make a final one.

Friendster can be a good place to hang out and meet new friends. It has features that may suit your needs as a hobbyist in a social networking site or even trying to promote yourself. It's still the same as the old traditional way of social networking sites on uploading pictures, updating profiles, post blogs, sending messages, commenting on other profiles, and most of all enjoy your time.

Based on my experience registering on other social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, and other sites that you usually see but I deleted those previous accounts and decided to stay on friendster. Friendster has been a great choice of mine. Maybe it also depends on the place you are in or what your family or peers are using, but it's still the same thing. You can join to in Friendster or add me up. You can actually see the promotional banner on the right.

To know more about friendster you can see it here: Friendster

Miss Cebu 2009

Miss Cebu 2009 is a prestigious event that occurs every year during the Sinulog Festival here in Cebu. It is a pageant where beautiful Cebuanas display their beauty and elegance. I may be late in posting about this great event specially for those who want to see beautiful Cebuanas on stage.

The beautiful candidates were Ana Coritha J. Desamparado, Sheda Lynn A. Dusaban, Christine A. Tan, Nadia Claire O. Urbino, Tara Frances L. Oliver, Ethel B. Bitoon, Phoebe Kaye C. Fernandez, Kimberley Therese A. Burden, Michelle Iva G. Eguia, Angela Grace P. Alinabon, Rizzini Alexis C. Gomez, Kris Tiffany M. Janson.

The winner of Miss Cebu 2009 is candidate number 12, which is Kris Tiffany M. Janson. She has the beauty, the height and the brains maybe basically that is what they want on a beauty queen. Basing on my perception of beauty or appearance I can't really deny that she is beautiful. She is definitely a good icon for being a Cebuana and I think she can be a good model for Cebu Tourism.

One Piece



I've been a fan of this cartoon for a very long time and I like it's story plot. It's about the story of Monkey D. Luffy and his dream of becoming the pirate king. He has been through many struggles in being a pirate and his adventures we're dangerous but despite every encounter he overcomes it with his crew. He treats his crew not just mere pawns but friends.

They call their crew as the "Straw Hat" pirates. The crew members are Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Robin, Franky, and Brook. Together they fulfill their dreams and face every obstacle as they go through.

This anime was released at the year 1999 and the series is not yet finished. This year is 2009 and it has almost been a decade. Maybe the story will be at it's end soon.

Just This Boring Day

To tell everyone the truth, today is the same old boring day. Still hoping some good thing will happen to me. Been painting for my third artwork and hope I can finish it soon. I'm really concerned about my grades. I still got lots of things to do.
