Avatar the Last Airbender is done... the series at least. And I can't help but feel sad again (not just because the Zuko/Katara, Toph/Aang ship did not happen) but its more about because the show is done and I couldn't help but think about how it all started 3-4 years ago. ... Now what will I think about? I hate it when series end. Since I stopped reading Notes from Underground I've been feeling a little less sad lately and no I still haven't finished it XD even though there were only just a few pages left...perhaps in another time when It's ok for me to feel sad. I'll go mad if I become sad presently. XD that just sounded weird. Now what? my favorite ships didn't happen the show where the ships are is done ... ... ... now what?

I just had to write this down because I'm still surprised. So I was looking for some new TV show to waste my time on and I decided to go for Gossip Girl. I haven't gone too far off though since I still have my conscience telling me to do my plates but here's the big shock. I can't believe the actors are mostly just 2-3 years older than I am...It's just...crazy! That just sucks... XD

| Unnoticed Beautiful Moments... |

Last Thursday, I saw the cutest little things, on my way to school I saw 2 kittens playing on the fence, their mother on the grass, they were as white as snow and as I passed I kept on looking at them with much joy and they stared back as if acknowledging my morning greeting. Just the other day while I was watching TV upstairs, while all the lights were closed and the only light within the room was the television, [the door was open and I could only see so well (my eyes are starting to blur again)] as if part of the shadow, a white cat started to walk slowly and cautiously in the room. It stopped soon after it took a few steps and he stayed at the corridor for a couple of seconds, looking towards me just like when a person looks at /to another, the cat acted so humanly I couldn't help but decided to approach it but soon as I made the slightest move it ran out of the house....It's white form remained stuck in my mind. *oh dear I'm just a click away to failure. Vectoring is so no cool. Didn't anybody saw how beautiful the morning was last Thursday? The sun shined like gold and casted long shadows that seem to go on forever... Just some random thoughts, and some slightly irrelevant yet seemingly unnoticed beautiful moments.t

*sigh I find myself doing that much often now... *sigh Today was...awkward but I tried to make the most out of it. So our vector raster plate is due tomorrow and I'm having trouble with saving files (it takes me like 30 minutes just to save) and it makes me want to have my own PC now, although this one is still efficient, its basically filled with stuff that's clogging up the whole system. *sigh We didn't have our Figure Drawing class today which was odd because Mang Dong came in our class and told us that out Prof called a model in but he's still not in class...*teehee so we all got to go crazy and roll around the class room till some other students started peeping in (prolly curious about what ruckus was happening inside our classroom) but all that hype instantly, and it usually does, disappear soon as we get to our last class...XD *sigh Just immediately after classes I accompanied some of my classmates to Megamall, a friend/classmate is asking for our help in designing Kulturas display/semi-exhibit for this month and, although I was a little reluctant, because I only had so much to go around Quezon City, I decided to go along. I'm pretty sure I wasn't even able to contribute anything but nonetheless this was my way of apologizing to my classmate for not being able to attend last time's supposed meeting for the layout and stuff. I had to shake off the awkwardness, I had to. *sigh And so...I found three more books to read...wait, have I told that already form previous posts? Well, whatever, anyway, I found three more books to read and I failed at finishing Dosteovsky's today. I need to schedule stuff now but even if I did that, I know I wouldn't be able to follow it anyway XD. *sigh My time's up, its 5:29 (5:00) in my watch and I still have a class at 7. *sigh as for today's Photog class...well, we'll just see what happens and BTW I still have no photo paper or film XD weeeee...

I think now I understand why I don't like those people who take shallow pictures (pictures that can't even make a person have any reaction) It just came to me (and I just can't seem to let this small issue pass me by until I understand it) I don't like it because as these people click away they take time for granted...as if every action they do can be done exactly the same way as they did a second ago, because knowing that they still continue to exist in the next second and knowing that they can perform an action in the next coming seconds, they tend to neglect that time cannot be returned. What the crap am I saying... We can all repeat an action whenever we want to but most us shrug the idea that each time we repeat it it can never be exactly the same solely because of the idea that we can repeat it. (repetition takes our mind away from realities) But we know it isn't all the same...the moment soon after something has been done is not the same as the action you repeat again in the present. haaaaayyy...here we go agaaaaaaaaaain!!! please, I'm not crazy... * * * Wow, today was an adventure. Today was one of those days when I felt alone yet I loved it, " Who the heck loves loneliness?" you might ask well, I think we all do...even secretly or unconsciously, you see feeling lonely makes your feelings towards being with friends stronger...the more you are lonely, the more you give importance to being with the people you care for. So does that mean when we are with friends we care less of them? I don't exactly think that, but when we are with people whom we are acquainted with we start to value loneliness (or as some people call it "some time for ourself" XD) that right there was just a dialogue between myself and I... please, srsly, I'm just going through a phase XD * * * I was thinking of posting some more quotations from Notes from Underground but then who'd want to read it once I've posted them? XD anyway later...

Anime. I used to like it like weekends but no matter how much I force myself to get interested in it again I just can't seem to find it, I don't know what the right term is, cool anymore. I don't know. Sometimes I'm surprised at how much time other people have. They can go to malls, do shit with people, watch movies in cinemas, take pictures of their every move, even when it isn't a special occasion, but what I really don't like much (and I mean no offense here) is when people just take pictures of themselves for no apparent reason, its not because I think them vain no, no, what they do with what they have is none of my business but I do have a right to hate some things, right? Anyway, I don't like it when people just take pictures of themselves even if it's not a special occasion because it takes out the basic theory and idea behind taking pictures in general and in photography. I remembered during an art stud class, originally, taking photographs where done to document places and identify people. The mere fact that photographs do not move means it is a very special moment in time that one would like to preserve, the mere idea that photographs are still images also indicate a sense of imagination because one can imagine what happened before or after that moment and it can even evoke feeling, one very important point in photography (that's based on my knowledge of course and not on some text book). But alas, not everyone has the same perception as I, nor do they have the same outlook when it comes to pictures. This time around pictures are starting to contain less than a thousand words. I still haven't finished reading the two books I started, oh and by the way I started reading another one (The Zhajir) out of boredom and now I don't know which one I should finish but anyway, I particularly am focusing on finishing Dosteovsky's first and just before getting half way through the book (and its a very short novel if I may add) the Underground man mentions... ...I have spoken about this before. I repeat, I repeat with emphasis: all direct and active men are active precisely because they are dull and limited. How can this be explained? Well, its this way: because of their limitation, they mistake the most immediate and secondary causes for primary ones, and so convince themselves more quickly and more easily than others that they have found a firm, incontestable basis for their activity. This put their mind at ease, and at that, after all, is the main thing.... -the underground man
(translated by Mirra Ginsburg) Originally a Russian text, this is a translation of Dosteovsky's Notes from Underground. Perhaps knowing Russian and being able to read the original text would give more emotion to what "the underground" man is saying (because a small change in an ending letter of a word in Russian can already take a different meaning) but nonetheless the translation carries with it at least a portion of the emotions. Anyway, I'm really starting to like it. If you haven't read it and you find interest in contradictions, I suggest that you read this book. *sigh Tomorrow we go to #45 St Mary's Street in Cubao for our CWTS. I have no idea where it is and so we are off to an adventure. Buenos tardes nosotros...

Pacquiao Is a noun, an event, a person. Just some random note. When we went to SM to buy some stuff and then some for my other companions, stores with television tuned int to channel/s airing the Pacquiao-Diaz fight would have many bystanders outside which mostly crowds the walkway. It was interesting to watch people, haven't done it for quite some time. So I went to National to buy some small stuff for some homework and although I've been wanting to post something about this thing for quite some time, I usually forget about it once I get home, but finally now I remembered it. I know its pretty late because its been in stores for months now but I'm still a little happy that there's a tagalog translation of the Little Prince by Antoine' de Saint Exupery, I haven't read it but the excerpt at the back seems promising but what I like more about it is how the words just flow in your lips while they still contain the same innocence and sadness that the original english translation has. I've started reading Nick Joaquin's The Portrait of an Artist as Filipino and Dosteovsky's Notes from Underground yet I fail to continue both due to school work, I usually read when I really have a lot of time in my hands, to kind of read without any disturbances but school works prevents me from continuously read, but what the heck, whatever right? Anyway, hasta luego vosotros.

Just soon after I got home, mom showed me something... She framed the replica I made of Gauguin's La Orana Maria (Hail Mary) which I made using pastel. It's the final plate we had for FA13 one which I found most difficult yet most interesting. Sir G. picked different artists works that somehow is closely similar to our style of drawing and personality. But it isn't just the work that got me hooked, Sir made us research about the artist (at the same time search for good pictures which we can use as guides) and learn something about the artist as well and I couldn't help but fall in love with Gauguin's perspective in his creations. The internet may contain falacious information about certain details about Gauguin but I think pictures are hard to falsify.  I lack the words to describe the beauty I discovered while I was copying it, but what I like most about this image is the angel with blue (and yellow tipped) wings behind the thin and slender tree atop the bananas, that is looking over what seems to be a procession of some sort. It gave me the chills, a beautiful eerie feeling came over me when I finally discovered and spotted this hiding angel.
I should have saved this for another post but what the hey. Mom just had to show me she framed it (perhaps she did so after seeing it just lying around the house). I clearly do not have enough understanding in respecting art. XD
anyway in other issues.
I AM HATING...
TYPOGRAPHY (VC20) - because I suck at it FIGURE DRAWING (VC 22) - because I suck at it DESIGN WORKSHOP (VC 24 aka photoshoping and digital arts) - because I clearly suck at it PHOTOGRAPHY (VC 26) - because it lacks direction and a proper set up on the technicalities, processes, and objectives, so many ideas were left hanging and were not given enough reason as to why they are the way they are, and the lack of good discussion materials (i.e. criticisms of what should be done an should not be done in shooting). I understand the the professor perceives that every single picture is art, but there are specific details which explain why a photograph is better than the rest. PRODUCTION METHOD (VC 28) - because I also just don't get it...
*sigh I don't know if I should be happy that I still get some sleep...there's this dark shadow that just seems to move closer and closer...Ah but then that's just me...
*sigh Hasta Luego

As of right now I'm looking for squared and dropout halftone pictures, plan to finish all Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice games, study for Span, finish 3 plates of vectoring, finish making studies (or the actual thing) of two examples for Line and Halftone Copy, practice for figure drawing, and buy me tons of secondhand comicbooks! Yay. the past weekend was very dull and useless, I wasn't able to finish anything or do anything productive thanks to my ever helpful brother. But finally able to fix things so now I'm rushing everything, hooray. And now I have been saved by the only manga I own...FRANKENSHIZ! I can die now... whew...so to everyone else in VC26 under sir Reynoso and yer finishing that homewokr or exercise thingee where he asked us to look for examples of the 5 different kinds of Halftone printing styles, the Dropout and Squared styles I suggest you start looking at Mangas (just have em photocopied etc...) XD lololololol... P.S. Am now in love with Rummed Tiramisus XD XD XD oh and yea, belated happy birthday to me XD XD XD and thanks to everyone who greeted me online and IRL...lol...next time na lang yung list :D Hasta luego :D

I hate it when people change. When their attitude change, the way they interact with you, the way they treat you, the way they respond, the way they act. You can tell if someone's changed. And I hate it when they think they're above everything else, or when you try to ask for help but instead at the end of the conversation they end up stroking their ego. I hate it. What's mortifying to know is that person just changed within a few months... Why is it that when people change they either become overly confident of themselves or they get their ego stroked? Why is it so unusual or not normal for people to become humble when they change? !Que' lata!, I'm just annoyed at how proud they think of themselves when they still have a long way to go. It's different and when that happens I usually try and just move away. I hate myself when I finally find some friends whom I can really talk to about stuff, I become dependent on them sometimes even becoming close to possessive or I either become too caring or too unconcerned. I guess I'm just annoyed, because I expect them to go with me to wherever I want to go or to do whatever I want to do (i.e. do things together), then I get crushed when I figure out how much they don't really care. But what hurts me the most is when I start becoming caring then I get hit in the face, BAM! Oh sorry I didn't look out for you and that you're stupid not to realize that. I expect too much from people I suppose and that just breaks me. I guess...I should just leave them be. And yea, my usual solution to that is to avoid the situation, how thrilling.

I've been out of my head lately. I don't know why or what happened. Is it because of the lack of sleep? I really don't know but I feel like my IQ is dropping rapidly. I immediately forget what I want to say just seconds after I've thought of them. Crazy. And lately I've been feeling backaches, headaches, been feeling tired and sleepy, been feeling pain in my joints, and I've also been experiencing blurness of vision. I don't know if those are symptoms to anything but I find them normal recently or at least I've learned to endure them until they disappear. And recently, my throat is becoming a minor burden. I've been having a difficulty swallowing and I have this slightly irritating feeling of having little passageway for the air I breathe in, it started this weekend and I kinda just shrugged the whole "sick" theory off until it started becoming annoying so this morning I looked at my throat in the mirror and I saw the most unusual thing, my tonsils were curved all the way to the left side of my throat, I freaked like heck and I thought this was some kind of uncurable disease till I got a hold of myself and I played doctor online. Lo and behold, I found this picture in wikipedia that looked so similar to my throat/tonsil.  what freaked me out more (yet somehow relieved me at the same time) was on how closely accurate the picture is to how my throat looks like now without much of the redness though. It gives me goosebumps whenever I see it. Streptococcal pharyngitisIn more simpler terms Strep Throat. Streptococcal pharyngitis usually appears suddenly with a severe sore throat that may make talking or swallowing painful. In severe cases, breathing may be impaired. Symptoms may include: - headache [x]
- lower stomach pain [x]
- sudden and severe sore throat [x]
- red and enlared tonsils [x]
- red and white patches in the throat
- difficulty swallowing [x]
- tender or swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck
- Fever of 38°C (101°F) or greater.
- General discomfort, feeling ill or uneasy [x]
- Cough or dry cough [x]
- Halitosis
- Abdominal pain [x], nausea and vomiting
- rashes
- hives
Diagnosis There are several causes for pharyngitis, not just streptococcus bacteria. Productive coughing, nasal discharge, and red, irriated eyes in addition to fever and sore throat are more indicative of a viral sore throat than of strep throat, though a co-infection with a virus is possible and may explain the presence of these additional symptoms.
(that's from wiki)
I'm not crazy am I? I tried drinking hot anything but the pain is still there so I kinda though it was something else, and I haven't experience something like this...Anyway I'm feeling fine so pfffttt... later

Crazy. Hello first plate. Due within 3 weeks and another plate due pretty much the same time as the latter. I've thought of the unexpected, how the universe has ways of always making the things you hate happen. I've thought of the seemingly unrealistic situations that may happen in the future a year ago (it is just a small world after all) and lo and behold they are now happening. Now my seemingly awkward past has slowly crept up on me, welcome awkwardness. It seems emotionally difficult but at the end of the day the solution is pretty simple I just haven't summed up the courage to make things less awkward. I told you, nobody will ever get me XD. so, in helping lessen the clutter in my mind... Aye has listing things to dew. 1. Vectoring plate - dl and install corel - dl and install adobe illustrator 2. Mentally prepare self for plates 3. Read everything for VC28 - prod methods 4. Mentally prepare for all the emotional rollercoaster 5. Finish Span homework srsly. I wish I don't have much emotions, they always cloud every judgment I make. Hey HO! Will update DA soon XD

| Dala ng CRS, enrollment, at mga GEs |
|

06:06pm 04/06/2008 |
|

Nabubuwisit na ko. Makalipas ang isang taong pagpasa ko ng ilang kopya nang TCG ko hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin nakikita yung mga GEs na kinuha ko nung first year ko sa BE. Nakakabanas kasi hindi ko na alam kung ano pang mga GEs ang kailangan kong kuhanin. Naasar ako kasi nagpakandahirap akong magsikuha ng Nat Sci, Soc Sci, Math, Histo, atbp, tapos biglang wala lang mangyayari.
Sa totoo lang nakakasakit na to nang ulo. Ok pa nung first year, nakaya pa eh, pero sobra na. Maaga kong dumating sa CS (College of Science) kanina mga quarter to 7 na pero mahaba na pila, naghihintay kami na magopen na yung window nila for prerog, 9 dumating yung mga namamahala doon, atsaka lang pinost yung mga subjects na kakabukas lang o may limited slots, ang maganda pa, di pa sakto sa sched ko yung dapat ko sanang kunin, Eh yung back up na GE sana sa may Archi? Edi ayun, di na nagbukas nang classes, at parang onti na lang din ang pagasang makapag prerog pa, tapos niyan di ko pa sigurado kung tama na ang mga kinuha kong GE o kulang pa.
At kanina lang, tinatanong pa ko sa isang kinuha kong GE (na kahit alam kong di credited) kung sigurado na ko. Malamang naman, bakit hindi ko cacancel yun kung di sumagi sa isip ko na di ko na pala kukunin yung GE na yun di ba?
Ano pang options ko? kung ang Histo 1 at Histo 2 ay hindi macrecredit as Kas 1 or Kas 2 (at di magiging phil studies yung Kas 1) edi dagdag nang 2 SSP at 2 Phil. Stud pa ang kukunin ko. Kung ang Math 11 at Math 14 di pwedeng macredit as 2 separate MSTs edi dagdag na 2 Mst pa kukunin ko. Buti na lang yung AH at least maayos na...pero come on naman...hanggat di nakalagay sa CRS yang mga nakuha ko, walang mangyayari sakin at aakalaing madedelay ako.
Teka, sumasakit pa lalo ulit ulo ko.
so pano na ang sched ko? dapat may isa pa pagkatapos nung VC 20 kaso di pa ko nakakapag prerog, ang napakagandang panahon nang magsasagawa ng mirakulo at tumawag ng mga kampon ng kasamaan, ang teacher's prerogative. Nakakatuwa.
So ano na mangyayari sakin ngayon? Baka madelay, baka bumagsak, baka malate. Nakakalungkot, kasi kahit gano ka man maghirap sa pagkuha ng mga GE's nakasalalay pa rin sa mga schedule na nilagay ng mga colleges ang kapalaran mo.
Pero sige, tuloy pa rin ang laban, tuloy pa rin ang pagprerog, tuloy pa rin ang lahat. ika nga...THIS IS SPARTA! rakenroll.
PS. Buti na lang at pinarinig saakin ni MEL dia_aren_marieyung album ni Mika (Life in Cartoon Motion) kundi siguro bigla na lang akong magkakanervous breakdown doon kanina sa school. May pag-asa pa naman eh, kung gugustuhin, kung pipilitin. Prerog sa Geology, sa L Arch, as in diretso na sa prof, malamang pakapalan nanaman nang mukha, mabilis at nakakatuwang sabihin pero pag ikaw na gumawa, tignan lang natin...
