Too busy to improve.

Today I had the opportunity to take random shots around my school using my dad's camera. -sigh- I wish this Canon Power Shot SX1 IS was mine! It actually belongs to my dad but I'm glad that he trusts me enough to use it for the yearbook and for numerous upcoming events (and also for my photography hobby too hehe).

I not only took random shots, I also took a lot of pictures of my schoolmates today. We had a halloween costume contest and I had to take pictures for my school's yearbook. So I took as much as I could, unfortunately I did not get to take the coolest costumes in the school. Though I did capture this interesting picture:

I thought that this student dressed up as Flash but then I noticed that this guy had chicken wings sticking out of his head while Flash had lightning bolts and a completely different color of costume appearance. It looks pretty cool because of the blur effect that was caused by a different person. Don't you think so? I think so ^^

Anyways, here are the random shots I took. The first three pictures were actually taken inside my school's library during my spare. I always go at this spot because there was a window to look out to and because the librarians couldn't see me from there if I snuck in juice with me. Haha, actually I got caught once...and so I had to drink it real fast!

I've always wanted to take a picture of this whenever I go there. When I sat down I looked at this spot for a second and wanted to take a picture of it. I did not notice right away that I had my camera around my neck, and so I was sad for a bit until I looked down and realized that I could finally take a picture of this! lol





I like how there was a sea gull up there and I'm glad I capture the moment while my two best friends walked. I had to ran up to them every time I take a picture though, since they would not wait for me! >.< But its all good, we laughed about it anyways, hehe.

I was planning to delete this one, but Kristine told me not to. So I guess this one is dedicated to her then for liking it :)

Well, that was all the random shots I took. They are not very great but I'm hoping to become better. I doubt it though, lol I'm just too busy to improve >.<

Crossfire

**If you watch Smallville, then you'll know what I'm talking about!**

So I noticed I have not put any Smallville posts on here, only gLee. Well if you do not know already, Smallville is my number 1 favorite show ever since elementary ^^

I decided to post something because I feel really excited about this week's episode, Crossfire. In this episode, Clark Kent (played by Tom Welling a.k.a superman) and Lois Lane (played by Erica Durance) have a "moment" together and it makes me jump up and down because it's been a while since Clark had anyone that could make him happy. If you actually watch Smallville, then you'll know how much Clark had to deal with and the loss and sacrifices he had made (what a lonely guy).


Well as you can see from the top picture, they actually start to kiss in this scene. I'm not sure if it could be just Clark or Lois daydreaming or maybe something else but I know for sure that both have romantic feelings for each other for quite some time now. Here is a preview of it actually, click here.

Anyways, I just had to post it up somewhere and what other way to do so than blogging about it! If you haven't been following any of your favorite shows, you guys should visit this site: Yidio. I'm not so sure if your show is there, but I know for sure that Glee and Smallville are! That's how I keep up with these shows! If you'd like to watch and follow this Season's Smallville click here. For Glee, click here.

Well, I hope you guys do follow these shows.. you probably should watch Glee instead since it is new and only at season 1. Smallville has been alive for about 9 years now and this year is season 9. Wow, it really has been that many years/seasons now? Even I can't believe it! Haha, long live Smallville!

Happy watchings! :)

Are You a Carrot, an Egg or a Coffee Bean?

Yesterday for me was unique. There were many things that happened, but I won't go into detail. First my dad got into a minor car accident, second I had to leave for yfc (youth for Christ) and third I went to a debate between Professor John Baker (atheist) and Greg Koukl (Christian). I know it sounds pretty heartless of me to just leave after I found that my dad was in a car accident, but he came home in one piece, which means he's fine. The only bad news was our van is going to take a temporary vacation away from us :( which means we could only use our 5-seater car. Good thing it was the truck's fault, otherwise we'd have to pay some big money for the damage!

I decided to post something because there was a story that I really like that my yfc chapter heads presented. I'm not sure who wrote it, but I recommend that you guys read it. It won't take long, and I think it's worthwhile. Just click on here to read it before you keep reading the rest of my post! Or else you won't understand what I said below! xD

For me, I think I am each of them: a carrot, an egg and a coffee bean. I don't just see myself as one of them because then I would be lying. I have changed over time and I know that when I was younger things were so much different. Even though I am not the same person as a year, 3 years or more ago, there is still a part of me that could end up being the carrot or the egg. I am learning to be more like the coffee bean though. Lately there are events in my life that are very challenging and hard to handle. But just because I face these adversities, doesn't mean it's not possible for me to overcome it. I do believe that after those challenging events, I have become stronger as a person. I became more responsible and have sacrificed many to change the situation around me in a positive way.

Anyways, enough about me. How about you? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? Thanks for your time! :)

P.S: I did a quick sketch of a carrot, an egg and a coffee bean as you can see from the top. Haha, I know...how weird of me. But I didn't feel like posting a picture from other sites so I made a quick sketch instead. I think I might do more of these in the future! Just quick sketches about random things. The carrot looks bad though since I just wanted to get it over with lol. Hmm.. I'll see how it goes ^^

Life's Too Short for the Wrong Job!

This saturday had been a very long and tiring day for me. I don't know if I was paying attention or not, but ever since this morning all I was doing was trying to finish my film review for A&E's Napoleon Bonaparte- The Glory of France Biography. This assignment was for social and it shocks me to realize that it took me all day to finish this assignment!

Hmm, maybe it was all due to stress and distraction? Or maybe it was because it is the weekend and I was excited yesterday for this day to come but was imprisoned by homework! -sigh- I blame myself actually because on the day I watched the film I fell asleep halfway. I have to admit, it was pretty entertaining in the beginning but as soon as I start to ponder around the class the film seemed to be just... white noise. I don't know what I was thinking then, but the atmosphere made me sleepy. Thus the reason why I blame it on myself- because I didn't make it to at least 75% of the film to understand the events I could be writing for the review. At least I jotted some points halfway, that was some big help!

Anyways, I decided to post something up because I found a few really interesting pictures which at first, made me laugh but then made me sad. I think you know why just by looking at them! Here they are:




What do you think? I feel bad for laughing at it. Though it is a funny way of portraying getting the wrong jobs, you have to admit that there are people out there who are having a hard time just to live by.

Anyways, I hope you have a great weekend! :)

laughing my head off

So I was online and saw a link that a friend had posted up. I wasn't going to click it but it said it was funny and I thought I needed a good laugh. This is a different video I posted up but if you haven't seen it I recommend you to take the time to watch it, just to shake the problems off you today! :)

I was planning to sleep at 11 p.m but I couldn't help it- I was literally laughing out loud while my whole family was asleep! And for sure I know they heard my bursting giggles. Unfortunately I'm not as sleepy as I was before that video. Now I have to find a way to make my panda eyes fall back to sleepy mode >.<

Hope you LOL :)


There are actually a lot more of these, search it up!
It really made me laugh ^.^

New Layout

So this is a new layout. What do you think?

I'm not use to it yet so I'll give it some time. If I'm still not getting the "homey" kind of feeling I'll revert to the old layout or get a new one. This is actually a blogger template. It's not like the previous layout but in a weird way I think it's much more simple (ironically it's more complex).

-sigh- I actually miss the old one. But I wanted a new style for a number of reasons. Hmmm, the new settings are completely different, I guess I have to get use to that idea too. I'll be editing some things later.. or maybe not at all. Hopefully I'll get use to this new change though.

Anyways, I took some pictures today. I wish I could have followed the days when it was blooming though.

Click the images to enlarge!

Do you know the name of this flower? I'm not sure what it is ><


I thought it would look cool if I put droplets of water on the flower. nyahaha ^^



They look off don't they? Haha, well that just shows how noob I still am. Hmmm, I should take more picture with dept to them, huh? Well maybe when I get better at taking shots I guess. ^^

Thanksgiving

Hey readers! Wow, what a nice looong weekend, but homework ruined it for me haha. Well since it's thanksgiving today, all I could really say right now is I'm in awe. Yes, I'm in awe in all of the things that God has given me. I can't tell you how blessed I am! I realized how great my life is and always have been that way. I know I stumble sometimes and unknowingly do and feel selfish things because of the things I can't have. But I think I'm gradually feeling "cool" with it.

By the things I can't have, I don't mean ipods, a car and etc. It's just that there are some things in life we could never have or was not meant to be for us. Like, for example, having your whole relatives in one area as you are or maybe someone you feel so strongly for who doesn't feel the same way. Maybe you feel that way too, but God placed these kinds of things in our life for a reason. We shouldn't use these things as a reason to be angry for God. It may be hard to accept it, but as Jeremiah 29:11 states -"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"- it would mean that the hard things in life are just what the passage said.

I know we are only human beings and that we are bound to sin numerous times. We are also bound to ask for more and more and more! I know I have..have you? Well last week was a hard time for me. I began feeling...selfish. I was asking for something I know I can't have and the more I thought about it the more it ruined my week. I couldn't think straight and I just felt like I didn't care anymore at certain times of the day. It really got to me because it affected my studying habits! >.< And because of that I probably failed those two big tests. Hopefully this week is a brand new week for me. I might stumble again, but that would only make me stronger inside, right? As long as I learn from it that is! Well for the most part I really am thankful.

I feel like I'm out of topic..ummm am I? Haha, sorry I just got distracted. Well there are so many things I'm thankful for, but I am too distracted right now. How I wish I wasn't! I will probably list them out in the future but right now I gotta get back to doing what I was doing before blogging. Yes, at first I got distracted because I was thinking of posting something and now I'm getting distracted since I need to get back to my previous plan for the day. Does that make sense? Nyaarrrggkk, completely out of sense! -sigh-

Thanks for your time ^^

Meticulous

So I guess my "hiatus" wasn't really a hiatus. I updated on it so it doesn't count! Well the good news is...that I'm done my drawing! YAY, wooot. I'm sure you know who it is just by looking at it! If you still have no clue.. it's Rihanna.

I decided to draw her because, well I really liked the reference photo. It looked so detailed and I've been wanting to draw a very detailed portrait of someone. But in my opinion, I failed to capture the image I had in mind. The biggest fail is the hair actually (& proper shading). I just didn't had the patience I hoped to have like other great portrait artists out there. Probably because I'm still young and have yet to experience many more patience in the future.

To be honest, I did improved A LOT, especially the hair part. I used to just scramble and color in the hair. Before it didn't matter to me but gradually I started to see how the hair is just as important as the face. Without its realism, the picture wouldn't be whole, right? So in the future I plan to handle each strand of hair with care. I'll try and be as meticulous as I can be, but that probably won't happen 'till I'm at my 20s or something. Hmmm, I wonder where I'll be by then? Haha, well in the meantime I'll just improve more and more.

Well readers, hope you like :]

Update* You know what? Scratch everything I just said- I looked at this drawing a lot of times and realized... "HOLY CRAAAP (pardon my language) THAT IS SOO GOOD!" I couldn't even believe I drew it! Then again I always think someone else drew it, I swear it doesn't feel like it was me who drew that. Haha, how silly. Thanks for reading!

On Hiatus

I'm going to be on hiatus for a while.. up until I finish my recent drawing! Hmmm, I really need some major changes, but since I'm newb with html I gotta try and learn them all over again when I have the time.

Sorry for those who actually visit my blogger frequently. I found that I'm having some issues with certain things.. Umm, if you're new in my blog, I hope you take the time to read my previous posts! Don't worry, I didn't post my feelings or anything emo.. though I wish I could. I might be tempted to in the future- but if I do post something like that, it will only be temporary (just to shake some problems off).

But since it's sad that I'm going on hiatus (you better be sad! lol jks), I will leave you with one song. This song is kinda how I'm feeling at the moment, so you better like it. I wish I wrote it, but unfortunately I can't write good songs.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Update*
I love how I can put songs on blogger. Well I added a new song after the first one. I may add more tonight or tomorrow. Who knows, I will probably get back to blogging! Haha, like right now.."updating"- man I fail at keeping my word.

Hear me out? Just listen..

Another update* Sorry, I'm frequently changing and adding the songs, so this post will probably not make any sense.
