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.

Fame

Fame is really a great thing to hear aside from aside from it being carried by most commonly known people as celebrities. These celebrities are praised being talented and their talent is widely known to the public. Most commonly known talents are actors, actresses, models or any other TV personality. Behind those praises...lies darkness.

Well some people really don't praise these popularly known people. Some or most people even use their names for hideous crimes, call them names that hurt their feelings, spread rumors that are not even true which these things destroy their lives. They earn money for a living being famous but behind these things they carry such burden, mostly are problems.

They may be defined as haters. I know why you are thinking I entitled this post as fame. Haters are those people who take in action those criminal acts. They even enjoy doing it without even knowing they could be sent to prison. Life has its own ways and we can't change the fact that it is going to be like that.

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.

Behind Beauty

I never imagined that models would trip off on the runway despite how experienced they were in this industry and they really do look funny. I really admire them even though they get messed up in public and that's why I really like to watch models do their catwalk.They look sexy in their outfits and give a good impression to the audience.

Female models have difficulty in walking on the runway due to the shoes or sandals that they are wearing. High heels may cause danger to them and may affect their performance on the show. Some fashion designs are even weird and maybe because it's art and the designers might want to show it off. As I was watching the video, I am really concerned of the models 'cause they might get hurt or get scolded.

Female models are the main attraction in the show, for me. It's because of the grace and elegance that they show and not just because how beautiful they are its also how they carry themselves as models. You might want to watch the video.

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.

Cebuana Beauties

As I was viewing some Youtube vids around the internet and was really bored of what video to watch. So I decided to look for beauties around the net and decided to watch pinay girls from our local place which is Cebu and I really enjoyed watching this.



As I was watching the vid I really saw a familiar face there. She's really beautiful, not just the slideshow of pics that you see here in the video but also in person...and yes speaking if "in person" I really met her personally but was too shy to even speak in front of her. I was amazed of her beauty and was stunned by her looks. Not to prolong the excitement...I just wanted to tell her name, it's Anne Margarette Bang. In order to know more about her just do a search on her just Google it.

I never knew there were this kind of beauties roaming around our place. Their beauty and elegance are proudly to be said as Cebuanas. According to surveys that I had gained information from television that Cebu is one of the places where there are lots of beautiful women to be found here in the Philippines.

Reelee Fanee Lolcats! har har har

As I have been going on around the internet I have found a website. It's really interesting and gave me a laugh about it. This site gives some comedy to the pictures and videos of cats. I really like how they do it and not just a bunch of pictures being uploaded on the site but gives you entertainment. Lolcats that's what this site is all about and tons of funny pictures, videos you can see.

This is definitely one unique site and I have never seen anything like this. I can't take pictures of our cat and upload it, you know I'm lazy in uploading and I suck at blogging. To tell you more about this site and its process on making Lolcats pictures I'll tell you the steps: 1) Upload a picture of your choice or the pictures that they have, 2) Write some funny captions, give your Lolcat picture some humor and just be a comedian just for a few seconds, and 3) Submit it and after that you can share it to anyone, friends, or either family members you want to put a smile on their face. The sites name is icanhascheezburger.com.

Enjoy folks...here are some other pictures you might want to see.

new Alesana music video

I've been a great fan of this band and yeah! They rock! So I have been listening to their music countless times and here I saw a new music video of Alesana. They have been , for my ears and music loving, one of bands that I'd listen until my ears explode (just joking). I may also have a passion for music but my talent for musical instruments are so uncivilized, so if you don't understand I'll tell you that I can't play guitar, I can't play drums, I can't play most musical instrument that any musician can. Yup, I maybe talented when it comes to visual arts but not at music. So enough of the talking...just watch this nice vid of them, the bands name again is Alesana and the Mtv is entitled Seduction. I just found it about just this month and I think it was just released about this year, not much rumors heard about this.




I really like how Dennis screams and how he does his moves in the vid and also Shawn. They really do a great band and I know that they will last longer. You can never see any other band like this. I really like the meaning of their songs just like their first famous music video which was Ambrosia.

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.

One crazy video I've found.

Here is one awesome video I've found on the net and it's really cool to watch it. It's about a video and a compilation on Europeans who make crazy things and it's dangerous. It's quite similar to other videos like the famous Jackass and WildBoyz. There are tons of videos like these you can find on the internet and it's entertaining from my point of view. The title of the vid is entertaining itself so just enjoy and watch it.



The last compilation was the awesome part which is ranked as #1 and you'll know it when you watch the video. It makes you laugh thinking if this would happen to you or you'll get mad if people do something annoying or make a surprise attack. I think these guys are famous in their place.

My Tobi Fanart

Here is my first fan art submission to deviantART. It's just a practice digital painting and it took me a long time to make it. Several hours of course due to the tight schedule. I've been trying to make works for online exposure and hoping to work for commissions.

The story of this work is quite mysterious. I just wanted to depict that Tobi/Uchiha Madara should be secretive in his works. It's like he is trying to do some dark power planning or something. By the way, the background is made by my imagination therefore the background does not really exist. Which also means that the background does not exist in the Naruto Universe.

I have been trying to develop by digital painting skills and also my traditional paintings. I've noticed that I have gotten even better than before because I have been practicing these days and can't even manage to design my blog.

deviantART : where ART meets application!

Need a place to stay? Not on the real world but a place to hang out on the internet. That is not for ordinary people just passing time on social networking sites but a place for computer graphic artists or digital artists. It is also a place for gathering visual artist whose purpose is to show their artwork to the world. Maybe it is a good start to show those sketches and paintings in the internet to gain exposure and maybe some art collectors will buy your works or companies will have a demand on your style of art. For me, this is the most popular art community in the world. It hosts millions of artwork all around the globe.To make the introduction short, this website is named deviantART.

DeviantART is a place where artist alike can interact and expose their works uploading from your computer via the internet. Users can also add friends and view works from other artists. Share their works and enable it to be downloaded by users or viewers from around the globe. Some artists are even professionals and others are hobbyists or just plain viewers or art enthusiasts. You can gain lots of views when many people appreciate your works, take note, some can even gain thousands of views because of their hardwork and popularity. Those professionals make works of art because they were hired and they were demanded to make commission works. The money that digital artist gain from their work is questionable which means I'm not knowledgable on how much they earn. There are artists that you might want to gain influence from and see how they did it.

There are lots of categories to choose from like Traditional Art, Digital Art, Photography, Literature, Artisan Crafts, Designs & Interfaces, Flash, Film & Animation, Game Development Art, Manga/Anime, Anthro, Cartoons & Comics, Fan Art, Customization, Resources & Stock Images, deviantART Related, Community Project, and Scraps. Just for you to know more about this site just visit and enjoy your stay...you may want to register and show off your work.

Painting...Before And After

When there is traditional...there is also digital. You know what I mean? Guess not, well what I'm talking about is the mother of all arts which is painting. Since old times painting has been a good hobby for art enthusiasts and as well as ordinary people like you and me.

These days painting has not faded in the entertainment scene but has improvised. When you talk about painting, you think of a canvas, a set of oil paints, acrylic paints and other materials used. But what is most talked about in these ages when it comes to 2d visual arts is Digital Painting. This kind of painting is painting via the computer or your laptop using the mouse and the most deadliest weapon used in this art is the world famous pen and tablet. A pen and tablet is a gadget used to paint digitally and is composed of two parts which is the pen and the tablet. You may feel uneasy at first using it but as time goes by it's going to be easy as 1,2,3.

Some visual artists getting into this kind of jobs are called digital painters and they usually make works for companies, comics, books, novels, or they either go freelance and wait for offers to come. This kind of job is not that hard if you are into art of course and maybe if your specialty is painting. There are some art communities that host digital art but the most popular is deviantART. You can see artists there that whose talents are tremendous and as of now yet unmatched. Just don't be discouraged when you see their works, but all I can say to those who want to join the world of digital art...just practice and work hard because that is what people who achieved their dreams did.

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.

Tomatoes On a Plate

Tomatoes On A Plate

Here is my work and it was made since last year. It's a painting of a bunch of tomatoes on a plate it's obviously what is said on the title. There is not much about to be said on this masterpiece but hope you all like it. You can view my gallery or you can see it here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hard Saturday

Man, when I was at school I stumbled on a friend of mine and we talked about getting our grades but sad to say most of my grades were failing and I had to do something about and really do much more studies. I was surprised about the results about my grades. I don't know what will be the result when the time for the finals come. I hope I won't get scolded by this.

As I dropped my Perspective subject and so not to waste my time. I decided to stay at school every Saturdays to go to the library and spend some time studying about art and its fundamentals. Had some friends to talk to and never wasted time there. I had fun at that time.

Oh, and also I spent time at my cousin's house. Watched TV shows and watch him play online games. Been watching their fishes, one of them fascinated me.

Pressure Fever

Whew! I've been posting a lot these days and got tired on doing lots of stuff. I've started painting and can't finish it easily because I'm having difficulty when it comes to colors. Maybe I can only post a few lines as of now. Been tired on doing lots of things and hoping it would be a great to do extra curricular activities that can help my studies.

I've noticed that one of my classmate is absent every Wednesdays and I just don't know why it's like that. We were grouped and most of the group members were girls and just two of us were males. We were just discussing things and wrote it on a piece of paper. Computer class was just the same as before.

Just don't know what will happen tomorrow.

What I See, What I Get

If you have noticed I could not post directly when I come home it's because of having a sleepy attack. Due to school and boring mood tends to make me drowsy. I've been always reading the Art Fundamentals book in the library and which made me learn more things about art and gave me rich ideas for my course.

Art for me is the best way to express your imagination. I really like the course I'm taking and it gives me peace of mind. Come to think of it, only a few things are happening in my life. I'm still thinking what to paint for my second artwork but can't decide what it is.

There are lots of things to do specially school and the most hated part is exams which brings headaches, eye bags, and makes you drink lots of coffee. You tend to see lots of letters and numbers which makes you dizzy and go puke. I need to study, of course, to pass and graduate and live a happy life I think.

Oh by the way, I saw them again and they looked pretty in the clothes they were wearing. I thought I was going to have a nosebleed. Really hoping to see them again. They rather give me a nice mood every time my eyes see them.

Adjust The Time

I was not able to blog yesterday you know. Really, because there were lots of things to do. I really wanted to finish my studies as soon as possible. Hoping to work in a big company and have a big monthly salary to support my needs.

I've just finished my first painting and it's my first painting ever painted on canvas. I never really liked the result but maybe in the near future I'm going to improve in the world of arts. My skills are far from people I know and they're much better than I am. Their skills are compared to famous painters.

I have been thinking on adjusting my schedule because of school. We were grouped again at our sociology class for our last project and hope that all of us would cooperate. It's a project about making a video and a story about social acceptance. Most of my group mates were my past classmates from another subject and also my friends and a number of them have been my friends for years.

I think I'm not going to go home every end of our computer class and stay at the college library. Read books, finish home works, make project or just plainly hang out with my friends. Well for me I'd rather practice on drawing.

Silly Things

I was curious about what was happening at school. I really do know that they were spreading rumors again. They were once making rumors that a prophecy was real of something. They had this grudge against me, I think. I heard one rumor about me again and it's about "people that know me won't get a job when they graduate". What the hell is that about?

I was not really giving a damn about that stuff. I know that people are jealous of what I have and I accept that. People don't know that it is not easy being me. It sounds like I got that line from a song. I really don't know who started that and they still think that I'm deaf and don't hear what's happening around. They are lucky that they were not born like me.Are they making fun of me? Maybe I have to find it out.

I was in the library reading a book about arts and learned stuff from it. There are some terms that I don't know about arts because I'm not really an expert or a genius or something because I also tend to forget. I knew something new like Etching, it is like hatching or cross-hatching. I think it a line art and has good effects and I've been doing it using pen and ink. The paintings that I saw in the book look familiar and been really fascinated on old paintings.

When I was walking along the corridor, that is when I noticed about these people I know making a distance. I really knew they were planning about something. I really don't know who started it but the awful thing that they did was a criminal act. Come to think that they were planning in taking away friends of mine. It is just better if they mind their own business. I get mad sometimes too you know. I just don't know the results that would happen about this.

I have been thinking on pursuing on my course. I have been studying on the arts and have been thinking on specializing my skills.

Poisoned Thoughts

Wow, I was not able to post for how many days. Many things has happened these past few days and still I'm very busy doing so many stuff. Things have gotten mysterious, which means something is really going to happen. I can feel things too, I'm not that dumb.

I could not remember the happenings these past few days so I can only post maybe the happenings as of now. I still have not finished my painting and I'm going to finish it maybe this week. Doing many things brings you stress and you tend to fall asleep at any time. You really can not know what will happen to you in the next few days nor people can predict your future. It is because only you yourself know on what you will become.

Just Yesterday Time

Well, to start off the post. I think that yesterday, we went on to a mall to buy stuff for my painting. It's just canvas and a box full of paint. When we went to the mall, I thought that I was in another country. There were lots of foreigners and can't deny to look at beautiful ladies of course. It maybe a coincidence that I saw a classmate of mine in a bookstore where I bought my stuff.

I could not think of anything to paint yet, but maybe in time I can visualize my art. I'm still a beginner at painting even at the age of 19.

Sinulog 2009

Yeah, the day that we are celebrating right now is the Sinulog Festival. It is a celebrated every 18th of January. People in our place, specially Cebu, like to celebrate this once in a year bang. I also like celebrating this but I don't go to the crowds maybe I can't stand the heat or the pressure. People are always having fun in this but I tend to stay at home and celebrate it with my family.

There are many things being celebrated during this day. There are concerts, beauty pageants, tattoo art, souvenirs, and lots more to mention. Maybe this week, I'll be busy doing lots of stuffs like painting it is because I really want to earn income in painting and not just because of the money it is also because of the talent that was given to me.

HTML study

Luckily my fever has calmed down and I can think thoroughly right now. Based on my research about internet advertising or earning money online, I was confused on what network to use. So I'll try every thing I know.

I've been thinking on what post should interest people to view my blog but I can't think of anything but blog about myself. I now that it's quite messy revealing your life to the public but I think it's worth a shot. Some things are not easy to accomplish and you really need to earn it.

Thinking about my life, I think being busy studying HTML would be my past time rather than watching to much cartoons or playing any video games. Plus, I should never forget my painting skills. I really do need to practice on color mixing which is my weakest spot in painting. I really plan on selling paintings but I don't know when to start because of school.

I really don't know what will happen to me in the future. Maybe I'll do whatever it takes to succeed.

Fever

Things have gotten calm because I had taken medicine to my fever. It was really worse yesterday and now I had to be absent. I just received a text message from a friend of mine that we had an exam but sad to say I was absent due to my condition. My head was really aching when I woke up but was really happy that my adsense application was approved.

I'm just sitting here doing a little work, watching TV shows, finishing my painting, and some other stuff that I really don't need to mention. Staying at home would be a best choice for me.

On The Heat

Yesterday I was not able to post here because I had a fever and even until now. Along the way to school I met a friend of mine but I was really busy so I could not talk to him. It was cold and my body was shivering and never had any coat whatsoever. During the submission of the results of the test exams in our Computer class, I was really surprised that I got a good score. Never studied that much before the exam took place, maybe I'll get a headache.

My body was really unstable and I got a high fever but enduring it would be the best choice. I would never want to faint and wake up being in the clinic. I just saw them again and was really conscious about what is happening around. The weather was really cold for me and it heated up when they came, they were ladies of course.

I had to go to class and got my score for the Literatures of the World class but could not withstand my fever and we all went home so I got to bed so early and even forgot to brush my teeth.

Lazy Artist

I just happened to recognize that I forgot to ask for my change of my 20 pesos fare. Never mind, I'll try to be more cautious about what is going to happen in the future. I'll try to be more careful and alert at all costs.

Classes went back to normal after our Midterm Exams. Hope that in our next exams my grades would increase. I've been lazy and noticed that I got fat which maybe a result from depression and fatigue. Exercise would be a great idea but there are lots of things to do when being a student. Just remembered that we are going to present something, hope that I'm not going to faint or something like that.

My photo manipulation skills have still been the same and practicing would be a great idea. I really want my skills to improve in painting and other forms of art.

First post for year 2009

Hi I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I've been to blogger how many times. So I think this will be my first post for the fresh welcome of the year 2009. I hope this year will be great for me because of so many things that have happened.

Life has been quite difficult for a starter like me. I'm young and still have a very long way to go. Life is hard but I think I can overcome it with hard work. My life has gone okay these few months, things have gotten better and better.

I've been thinking on improvising my talent, which is drawing. I've been having problems on sketching the human body framework. I'll be practicing sketching, drawing, painting. Hope it really helps me a lot because I really like to do art and any other things.
