Table Of Imaginations

One of the things that I really wanted in my room is a drafting table. It's one of the best things that a visual artist can get. I was really excited of having one of these when I saw it in National Bookstore and asked my mom if I could have it and she said "yes". So it's already in my room and I have used it already. It's adjustable and it depends on your preference on what angle you are comfortable with. You can use it as a replacement for an easel, it's much better than an ordinary table and it really gives me the freedom.



You can see magazines, books, comics, sketchpads, and also acrylics paints. I've bought them to learn and also the FHM mag for more knowledge and reference of female anatomy.I've been really practicing and achieving to be one of the greatest visual artists that are known in these times. As far as I've known, artists like Kerem Beyit have been practicing for a long time and he has become one of the greatest. I really wanted to draw like he does and that's one of the reasons that I am practicing. I'm really doing my best to get there.

I have never forgotten studying web design but I am still keeping the books that I bought. I'm going to review the chapter that I have read and take notes of the tags that I have been through. I have memorized lots of HTML tags and there lots more to study such as CSS and Javascript.

Rumor Rampage

There are still lots and lots of things going on in my mind. Due to the fact that people are usually making fun of me and backstabbing me. They always do that and enjoy it and they don't even know what they were doing. I also hear rumors about me that they think I'm a priest or work on for church, to tell you the truth I'm not that religious person. They make rumors that I have STD, AIDS, or any sickness that can infect other people. Oh yeah, and they're serious doing that.

As of this summer I know there are still lots of these wicked things going on. I'm 19 years old and most people think I'm 25 - 30 years of age. What the hell is wrong with the world? I think they're the ones who are insane. As long the thing is important to me is, I'm serious in studying practicing in drawing, painting, and graphic softwares 'cause it is what I can use at work.

I've been sick of these rumor mouth things but one day I'll fight back.

One Hot Post

As I have been busy these past few days, it's because I've been doing some studying and it caused me some headache. The exams that I took, to tell you, is really difficult. I studied the whole thing and it was really messy in my room. My things were scattered all around, my room just got dirt all over. There are these assignments that I had to do. Man, it is hard to be a student.

You can't see what will happen in the next day, nobody really knows. You will never know what will be the outcome of your actions. Trying hard to improve my studying skills but as it turned out I have limitations as I am not a genius. Everybody has his own limitations and there is also a time to relax. Aside from studying lessons from our subject that I took this summer, I also do sketches at home just practicing to improve my skills.

Most of my posts are journals, maybe I can't post much on other categories. Man it is hot this summer. Hope it gets cool this 1st semester in the start of classes. I'll be reviewing HTML after these freaky busy days.

Just a post for today

I'm really exhausted of doing extracurricular activities at home. I am also having summer class at college. I usually practice doing sketches here at home rather than at school 'cause it's embarrassing. I only seldom let other people see how I sketch and to tell them, I'm a shy type. That was before but now, maybe I'm much more confident than before. I'm trying to build up my skills even more. If I working as a CG artist, well in this kind of industry they work solo. CG artists don't have a crew actually 'cause they are not the same as actors or actresses. They don't have any managers as long as they're solo. They either work in a studio or work as freelancers. I'd rather play both being a studio member and if I don't have an offer in a studio then better work freelance.

People think mostly than I'm crazy or a mad man due to the fact that I only go from home to school most of my everyday life. It's a lifestyle that I have and as I always tell everyone I don't have a nightlife in clubs but stay at home to browse the web or read books. I don't even have vices like drinking beer or any hard liquor, smoking, I don't even go to night clubs, but the thing I do is do researches on topics that I can use on work. I don't even have a manager and I work solo and it's much better that way. Life has gotten even harder, I can't even manage to eat lunch here at home and I have to eat lunch at school.

I still have so many rumors going around at school but I can only catch small details through my ears. No one even dares to tell me and I'm not that daring to ask. Some even tell me, that I have become gay, out-of-school youth, a beer belly, a maniac, a crazy person, someone who has just gone out of the mental institution, a pet of someone else, use my name such as "sugo ni Robin, ingon si Robin", and many more versions of that. I've been enduring these things being used and I have to endure it. Most people even believe that and that's what rumors are about mostly they're lies to destroy someone.

Decipher The Master Plan

I know that I've been busy these days doing sketches and stuff that make me improve my skills during these days. I did really make a good choice to practice and it has just been a month or so to take me the next level in art.

I've been doing on and off studies regarding color combination, drawing the human anatomy in both males and females. I need to master this as this will be used in work. I've been finding a job as a CG artist as a digital painter, line artist, conceptual artist or any visual art it may be.

In my Web Design study I think it will take me about months or about a year or so to master it. I know some people are making fun of me and their trying to make other people think that I'm gay or so that is what they think. I'm also trying to tell you that it won't work. I'm a straight guy and my body tells me to find a woman.

I know that there are many struggles in life that I have to encounter and it's going to be a very long way. I know what's going on and I have a strong feeling about it. The Journal post may not be every Sundays but maybe many times a week.

Busy days never go away

Well, It's early morning that I'm going to make this post and here it is. Today is the start of summer classes and but before that I just want to summarize the happenings that occured during these past few days. I was supposed to make a blog post about myself every sundays as a journal but as yesterday somebody was using the PC so I did it this morning.

I can only remember small details in the past so I'm going to start obtaining my official study load which I went to school but sadly the registrar said it was not available. So I just stayed at the school lobby for quiet some time to rest and enjoy the fun with Argie which is a friend of mine and so and talked to friends. I was really enjoying the company of girls that were near us. So and after that we ate lunch at a carenderia which at that time it was the only place for us to eat. After that I went home to finish a part of my work.

On the second time me and my mom together with my nephew Andre, we went to SM to buy art materials and books for me to learn more about painting. I was reading the books about acrylics painting and how to draw the human figure which is a complete guide. I really enjoyed the books and gained knowledge of the techniques and what materials to use in painting.

I really wanted to loose weight and do some exercises and diets but it's hard due to a busy schedule. I really wanted to have a nice looking body physique and I'll do my best to obtain it. Guess I all have to work hard.

No Summer Vacation

So this time I got to finish my enrollment for this summer and yep, I got to take the subject that I once dropped last semester. I won't be going to any hot spots this summer but I'll be attending school to learn and it may be just a minor subject but its worth it. Being busy these days is tiring and to shake it off I got to go along with my mom my aunt and a friend of ours. We were going to a mall to buy for my materials and went to other places for the venue of a special event.

I just bought myself a comic book and it was entitled "Marvel Heroes" and I was happy enough to grab a copy of my own and very first comic book. The books that I had were tutorials on how to draw comics/manga. I was really planning to buy art books that teaches you how to paint efficiently. Maybe, it would be the next time I can earn some money from work.

So this August 8 I will be claiming my official study load at school and maybe have a time to relax a bit and enjoy. To all other people out there just enjoy the summer heat.

This is not EMO.

I was really glad that my grades are not all going down. My grades you ask? Well these are the grades from the semester I just finished and was really happy that I passed most of the subjects that I enrolled. I was like..."Dude, look at my grades they're great and mostly passed but except the two!" (I sounded like I was happy about the dropped subjects.). I was really trying my best to make things up. My life is messy and been trying to do something extraordinary that not any normal person can do. I'm not really a lousy kid that just does not pay attention to college and give your parents headaches for not paying attention at class. Some even go to parties and get drunk, go wild, and yet tomorrow...hang over. Some even get bruises from parties that they go to due to alcohol and don't forget the misunderstandings.

I'm still relying on my Moms money to go to college but nowadays I'm finding a job and I think that would be home-based. A work that would likely be able to use my talent and earn from it and right now I've been browsing around some sites to find some company to apply for a part-time job. Before that "on the net job hunt syndrome", I am really eager to get a credit card to put it to use on payment processors and that is where will my money earned from work goes and later I will decide on where to spend it. Oh, being that I am an Anime fanatic and search engine addicted, and also an internet addict. Samurai Champloo was really a great Anime and I'll be making a blog post about it. I would not want to make a mess with that work, better make researches before posting some stuff about it.

These days are good days at least as I was watching some girl in the window. Yeah, you could think what I was thinking, I was really sight seeing. I am amazed by her beauty and really I have a deep appreciation for girls. Not to mention I was also with friends but was not really annoyed by them. I'll try to be more artistic and practice to hone my skills as an artist. Never been hyped up and pray that tomorrow will be a good day.

Terror days face me.

It's almost at the end of the second semester and time goes by real fast. Never thought that this would end and I'll surely miss my fellow classmates, the things we have gone through, the laughter that we have shared, and the special moments that we have cherished.

One thing in my mind that comes out at this moment are the final examinations. I've been trying to study and devote my time in reading books and gave my attention to art. Time is really crucial due to the fact that I was not born a genius in academics. Memorization has been a trial for me but at times I strive hard to excel.

It's been years that I have spent together with these specific friends but sad to say they are going to graduate. I have spent time with them with joy and sadness but they will soon fade away. They may have finished college but it is still the start of reality and maybe I will encounter it when I graduate. They may go away but they will stay in my memories...I may meet new friends but it may feel awkward due to similarities. Years may pass but I tend to show people happy faces despite the sadness I have gone through. There are so many struggles I will encounter but here I stand and fight back.

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.

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

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.

New pic for my social networking sites.

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.
