oh god, i still sucked.

guess i should purchase a new notebook sometime soon. my orange notebook filled with randomity only had a few pages left. enough with the regular-size notebook.. i couldn't bring it anywhere i go since it doesn't fit in my small bags. i think i'll get a small one.

i couldn't remember how old i was when i started keeping notes, but for all i know, the thing runs in the family. my love for writing never subsided, but my passion did.
i used to write down almost anything, from quotes to terminologies, lyrics, foreign words, trivias, ideas, etc. i even write some scripts for my stories. i don't have a knack for remembering a lot of details so i tend to write 'em down.

but there's one thing for sure, i didn't like reading a lot that much. i feel really stupid for keeping a lot of notes, or even saving a lot of articles, and they end up not being read. back when :devchaos-mode: barely surfed the net, i used to share my files to her. there were times that she asks something about a certain article and i couldn't answer her anything at all because i haven't read it haha. boredom strikes most likely when what i'm reading is uber long and isn't straight to the point. i sure hate those. just like what sir cura said before, <i>"...much, not many."</i> such words makes me miss that old man.

munchin' some brownie bar just now and i don't like it. this brownie i'm having right now tastes like mocha. fuck mocha. makes me feel hungry and puke at the same time. it'll be forgivable if the nuts were cashew, but they weren't.
i think a good book to be paired with a tasty brownie would make me feel alright. maybe a haruki murakami or an andrew vachss book will do. too bad i don't have the time for reading. wah.

maybe i'll start writing down something tomorrow. something interesting.
i'm planning to bring back my old, legible penmanship. almost everyone likes my handwriting, and so do i. but my school notes now feels like not so me especially if i'm not interested with the topic or i'm not really motivated with anything. it had been so ugly lately huhu.

i already had enough typing my thoughts.
time to hit the sack. it's somnolence calling.

anu ba... HELLO LJ~ it has been a long time since i last posted here.

( yes marunong pa ako ng codes dito sa LJ! tagalog rant~ )

i sure do complain a lot.

merry christmas!!!

it's been awhile since i last posted here. i'll be making a few changes evry now and then...meow

:: I'm pretty sure it's open for CFAD and CA students. @_@ I don't know about the other colleges (or even outsiders.) Hehehe ^_^;. I know they've already exhibited Dog God before since there's an artbook featuring their works in the museum. Dog God features the works of 9 alumni visual artists whose works stir the ideals in unraveling answers to questions that involve the mystery of 'sacred' and 'profane'. One of the exhibitors is my prof, sir Buen. I'm looking forward to see the works of sir Buen, sir JP, and Lindslee. \^_^/

There are other exhibits (of course) aside from the 3 mentioned above but I'm not really sure with the details. Waahhh.

( When is my day? Wednesday? Hwen's Day? Hwen??? @_@ )

Sabi ko tagalog pero magta-taglish ako.

Okie. We watched Bulaklak ng Maynila last Monday. Tagalog. Luma. Medyo... pang-adult. Hindi lang medyo, pang-adult talaga. Daming sex... pero hindi ako nahorny-han. Yuckness pa nga eh @_@

( Bulaklak ng Maynila on crack! )

( Other concerns to look at... )

.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I'm currently addicted to local children's books!!! ^_^
I only have a few books so far since I just started collecting but I'm planning to buy a lot.

I finally got my interview last Tuesday. (Thanks for answering the questions!!! <3 Sorry to hear you were busy, I understand. XP) Even if he didn't sent the answers on time, at least sir Agalabia still allowed me to pass it late. Whoohoo!!! \^_^/ But I wasn't able to pass it yet because I can't seem to find sir Agalabia anywhere, not even in his CFAD uniform office.

I'm not yet paying for the pre-lims! Laggggoooottttt!!!!!!

Nyahao! I'm happy because tomorrow's Thursday and we're gonna meet Sir Mark. I'm excited not because I have a crush on him (wala na, remember?) but because I have to interview him!!! I've been waiting for a week and it's like, I can't understand how I feel. I just want to finish my homeworks so that I could proceed on making articles and advertisements for our magazine. Hehehe, I'm gonna feature the places artists' must go. Maybe two real places, and one online (DevArt). Stupid leader. He also asked me to do an article about school issues. I don't know much about the whole university itself, but I can write something about CFAD like the usual vandalisms, the emos, and some CFAD students' fashion statement. (Nagsasawa na ako sa mga emo. Kahit san ka tumingin meron sa CFAD.)

( Comprehensive Technique sucks. )

( Freehand Drawing is eeebbiiiillll... )

I've been into some thinking. Again. And I've realized that I've fallen out of love with anime. (You read it right, people.) I was a bit confused at first since I have considered anime as part of my life for almost 6 years and my top love. But because I was uber exposed to the wider point of art, I somehow realized what I want with my life. (It's all Beato Angelico Gallery's fault! Nageexhibit kasi sila! Mga exhibitionista!)
I've given up my dream to be a Japanese comic book illustrator and going to Japan (nakaka-shock ba? Ako nga na shock din! @_@). Ayoko na nga halos manood ng anime and listen to their songs. I can even hardly enjoy singing Japanese songs (kahit kanina kumanta ako habang gumagawa ng homework sa Math). Na-brainwash na ata akow...

I don't like kids that much but I want to be a children's book illustrator and an art instructor (actually I want to be a varied artist nalang...). I wanna be an illustrator for the Adarna or the Hiyas books! (Basta kahit anong matino!) I dropped by at Nat'l Bookstore yesterday and I saw some locally published children's books and they totally amazed me. ^_^ I even want to buy some books: Bru-ha-ha-ha Bru-hi-hi-hi, Ha-ha-hatsing!, Diego and Marie, and The Yellow Rope with Bright Purple Spots (something like that...) but I don't have any money with me and besides, there are a lot of art materials that i need to buy (Masaya yung book na War Makes Me Sad. Galing ni Biboy Blu!) Gusto ko maramdamang maging bata ulit at pano gawing bata ang mga batang inaagawan ng pagkabata! Pero kelangan ko pa idevelop ang aking skills. Masyado na kasing anime, gusto ko maiba naman. Promote nationalism! Dito nalang ako sa Pinas, happy pa!
I want my art life to be active. But I don't dream to be a popular person whatsoever, gusto ko lang masatisfied sa works ko. 'lang kwenta mainstream. Aanhin mo naman ang fame hindi ba? I may be able to touch lives but after a hundred years, wala ng makakaalala sa 'kin at sa works ko dahil patay na din sila. Para san pa yun? Pessimistic masyado pero ganon talaga. I bet kahit si Rizal by the year 3000, ang tingin sa kanya ng mga tao, silent terrorista. Hehehe. Wala rin akong inaasahan sa uste. Tigilan nga nila ako na maganda ang turo. San ka pa kung iniiwan ka lagi ng prof mo para lang mag-breakfast? Eh yung iba nga hindi pa nag-brebreakfast para di malate tapos sya late na nga, aalis pa. Hmph.
I'm not the type of person who follow plans. I'm not even sure if I'm going to accomplish my goals. I believe that whatever comes along my way, it's up to me whether to accept it or not. Kung ano dumating, gusto ko na rin.

And btw, I'm just gonna try my luck on ArtPetron next year. I found out that our prelims are a few days before the deadline. Too bad, I have to study. I have to take some subjects seriously especially Mechanical Drawing and College Algebra. (I've always hated complicated computations. Let's get it on to Business Math! Is it similar to Accounting? If it is, then I'm lucky. ^_^b And for the following years, wala na kaming Math! Woohoo!)

Gonna join the Art Experience painting thing in Fairview if Chikay and the rest are joining. Haha so many plans, so little time. S'okay because it's only for a day and imagine we're going to doodle and paint a wall. I heard they're trying to put it in the Guiness Book of World Records. Hehe, it that so? I don't care as long as it's fun. ^_^

Oh well... just wasting my money in the internet shop... I'm not yet even eating lunch.
I'm with my cfad-blockmates... And so far, I really have nothing much to say...
I don't feel like typing stuff around guys playing online games. They're effing noisy kaya.

Maybe I'm going to die from being an artist one way or another... Die from doing n art plates and doing 6-hour assignments...

Had our Design and Color 1 class a few hours ago and I enjoyed doing our plate since my prof made a little shading on my work to the point that he almost finish it. Hehehehe... XDDDD
I have a crush on him, though. I'm really inspired with that guy... ^_^

Theology bored me. Ako ang official tagabukas ng ilaw fota. . .

Next class: English. Hahahaha may assignment akow. Kayo blockmates wala pa... hindi ko kayo pakokopyahin... jowk. Bakit ba hindi nagana yung exclamation point dito???

I luff yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr~

Fortunately, I'm having a good time in the university much to my surprise... To the fact that I easily adjusted in a week @_@
And, actually meeting and knowing people is really nice. Blockmates, irreg studs, seniors, students from other courses... People from CFAD are effing weird! Do I have to count myself as one of them???
I even like some of the profs (2 of them are cute!!! O_o;). They seem intelligent enough, though. :-3

I just dislike Benavidez! I never thought I'm gonna draw that statue...
But I'm still glad my blockmates still liked my work... Huwehehehehe... XDDDD

And I guess I'm going to hate anatomy... Because drawing realistically is effing hard and a pain in the neck! I really shouldn't focus on my own style since I wouldn't be able to adjust and I'll just get grumpy every anatomy class. I really need to be flexible... Hmmmm....

Just passed the IllUST app form awhile ago to eyesman. Hehehehe... If I wasn't able to pass it before 5 pm, I could have cried. @_@ I really wanted to join eh! I was standing outside the org room (and I didn't know it was the org room since I was desperately looking for it) for 10 years. And when I entered the room, there wasn't a single person around. And eyesman went to the room to check because the room beside it was his class. Thanks, eyesman! :-D

Miss reading Soubi x Kio and Seimei x Soubi fics! Grrr.... I'm missing out inspirations! If there is a real-life Soubi, I'll stalk him wherever he goes (excluding the men's room, of course.) I want you, Soubi!!! T_T Why can't you be truth?

Thanks for scanning my sketchbook, shiitake_oni!!! Because of you and your lovely scanner, my DA account came back to life! And thanks for letting me borrow your DVDcopy of the Da Vinci code. Can't wait to watch it, I just hope I won't be disappointed, though.

DOURI and DORY: We know you want us... ^_^

Wheee~! New layout!!! It's crappy but I'm really tired of changing layouts so I'll leave it to that for now.
It's really simple but I can manage...

Start of classes countdown: 9 days to go!!! ;_;

...I had precariously
Walked the thin lines.
A "14-year old" no longer.

Loved that line from Satomi Yamagata's Honey Baby.
If you want to see a child crossing the boundaries of childhood to maturity, Honey Baby is a must read manga. It's a shounen-ai fluff but I managed to survive because I'm a "15-year old" no longer. Huwehehehe... @.@
You gotta see it people. d(^_^)b

Btw, 11 days to go before my classes start. Save meeeeehhhhh... ;_;
