Goodbye 2008- My year end post

This would be my last post for 2008 so let’s get started.
The year 2008 is about to end. I won’t forget the things that happen to me this year. 2008 was a mix of fun adventures and tears of pains. The times that I escape from home for our outings to the times were I was caught sleeping in the class. The alibis that I’ve prepared just to go to bars to the days were I always arrived home were everyone is asleep. The times were I was caught sleeping in the class up to the times were my instructor caught me sneaking at my seatmates paper. The party with my friends at the Bangus festival up to the get-together at Baguio were I lie to my mom telling that I’m having a sleepover at my friends house for a group project. My escape going for a trip to Manila with my GF and the day of our break-up at 7 eleven. The friends that come, the friends that go. The foes encountered the enemies that are forgiven. The lessons learned and the knowledge that shared. The wishes that come true and the dreams waiting to be fulfilled.
A day isn’t enough to sum up all the things that happen to me this year. It may passed and not be perfect but it would always be remembered. I don’t wish to be lucky this 2009 but I guess I was lucky enough to woke up everyday turning on my PC to start blogging trying to make the life given by God a useful one. Life is neither good nor evil; it is simply the place were good and evil exist. Better by far I should forget the bad times and smile than that I reminisce the good times and be sad. What will happen to us this coming 2009 is up to ourselves. As the saying goes “Destiny is not a matter chance but a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

BTW, most of us have our own new years resolution. Other chooses a resolution for them while other prefers a resolution for others. We always try to fulfill them but then most of us are unsuccessful. Here are my new years resolutions but I think it would still by my resolution through the following years lol…

-Study hard (a job for every student in exchange for allowance lol)
-Have at least 8 hours sleep (really begging for this)
-Lessen my computer sessions to at least 9 hours (finally my brother would be able to use the PC)
-Come home from school early. Maybe 7 pm would not be bad at all. (The entire only thing possible at the moment)
-Save money (My mom does it for me. She took the ATM from me.)
-Go to disco once a month not once a week (I spend a lot but don’t enjoy the night)
-Discipline (If I have enough of this I might be able to accomplish my resolutions.

To my family, to my high school friends, to my college friends, to my real friends, to my true friends, and to my best friend who is always there, thank you for being with me this 2008. Hope you could spend more years with me.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Apee B-day Hayley

One of the greatest things that happen to every “Parawhores” life is the birth of Hayley Williams. Hayley is turning 20 this December 27. She's a year older than me. Way back on 2005 on their debut album, the first song that I’ve heard from them was the song “Pressure”. That is where it all started. I listen to all of their songs and their covers. I started collecting pictures of the band. I downloaded their music videos and live concerts. No wonder I have a 3 gigabytes paramour folder on my PC. I began to research about the bands history and the profiles of each of the member. And I was surprised to found out that she was only 16 when she started recording. She’s surrounded by boys but then it’s not a big deal for her at all. She still manages to write songs that really cure our ears. Hayley is compared to other female vocalist like Avril Lavigne, Lacey Mosley, Kelly Clarkson etc. but I found her different from others. She is a girl full of surprises and a girl that is definitely to watch out for. Paramore attacks its music with infectious enthusiasm. The words that comes out of her mouth passes through our ears and stays in our hearts.
Another things that she is admired for is the way she dress. Her fashion statement is outstanding. Her dress is an eye-catcher in every red carpets and awards night that she attends. She’s a fashion icon that is unique throughout her existence.
Whatever her hair color is… whoever she choose to be her partner for life... Wherever she plays her head banging performance... Whenever the time comes she stops from singing… I will always treasure the times she fills the missing piece of me through her music.

BTW I just wanted to share some of my favorite Hayley pictures inside my 3 gigabytes paramore folder ^^

To end this post, I am calling those who define music as paramore… to those who consider Hayley as the best singing machine ever built… to those who wish to have some of Josh’s talent in playing the guitar… to those who want to see Jeremy doing the opposite way of his famous flip with Josh… to those who likes to see Zac playing the drums blindfolded… to those who wanted Taylor to be a permanent member… to those who misses the ex-members Hunter Lamb, Jason Bynum and John Hembree… in short, to all Paramore fans out there.. let us all greet Hayley a happy birthday.

My B-day with my friends

Whenever my b-day comes, my college barkadas always expect a blow out from me. This only happens once a year so I always try to put up a small party. As usual, we eat outside. They prefer to munch on the street than in a restaurant which is good for the money that I have on my pocket. I brought twelve of my friends. I treat them with a “Pigar-Pigar” for a dinner, a famous food from our place similar to a beef steak added with some crunchy veggies. My friends’ large stomachs were able to consume two kilos of beef, four 1.5 liters soft drinks and a bunch of extra rice which is not an issue anymore hahaha.
After the dinner, we decided to look for some stuffs at the “tiangges” around. Then we go to the city plaza to have some pictures and to watch a live band.
Here are some of the pictures we have taken:

Picture muna bago kain

Binuhat ang B-day boy

Mga Carolers sa plaza lider nila ung mataba

Its me with the carolers

At the school around 10 pm

After the having pictorials some of my friends decided to go. We came back to our school at around 10 pm. We stay there for few minutes and I call one of my friends to ask him if we could stay in their house. He says yes and we immediately walk our way to their house. I buy some GSM blue and some junk foods to continue the party. My friend house has an empty room which used to be a boarding house. He is a licensed drinker hahaha. His parents won’t get mad if we drink there. We stay there until morning (too bad I missed the “Simbang gabi”.. I wasn’t able to complete it anymore T_T).

Here are some pictures of our drinking session:

kainuman namin si doraemon

ilang shots lang bagsak na siya

sige tagay lang
Hello yaya ur such a loser

Guitar lessons while drunk
This is one of the memorable things left by 2008 at me. I enjoy my birthday with my friends. It is worth it to spend a lot for things like these.

My B-day Post

Whoa another b-day comes for me. Getting a year old again this 22^nd day of December. The bad thing about being born on December was you’ll be receiving one gift for your b-day and for Christmas. I always wish for a present for my b-day and another one for Christmas. I have already received my gift last November. My parents gave me 15k to upgrade my PC. Well that is enough for this year though I hope not lol ^^.

I still wish for the following items:
1. TWLOHA T-shirt

This famous shirt is what I’m dying for. I saw Hayley Williams wears it over the time. TWLOHA means to write love on her arms and you can read its history here http://www.twloha.com. I also saw swithcfoot and the red jumpsuit Apparatus wears this shirt on their performances. Purchasing it online would cost you a thousand including the shipping and I can’t look for this t-shirt anywhere. I want the original one than ordering a customize shirt.

2. 2.Final RIOT DVD

A must have for every Paramore fan. It includes clips and behind the scenes of their 40 days tour. It also includes their concert in Chicago. When fueled by ramen release this DVD I immediately look for a torrent download of this DVD. I have already downloaded 75% of the DVD wee 25% more.

3. 3.Sony Cybershot

I just love to take pictures of my crazy acts lol. I just wanted my own sony Cybershot to capture moments and prepare it for edits.

4. 4.Midnight Sun Book

5. 5. A chibi of myself

Chibi are the cutest thing you could find in the internet. They are so cute little characters. I draw chibis but I still haven’t draw one that looks like me.

A Night of Download

Last night was a night full of download for me. Finally I got the time to do the coolest thing on the internet, to download. I’m a third world music lover and I’m not yet employed and I’m not ashamed of the fact that most of the songs on my hard disk are from the net. I only have few original CDs like Riot and All We Know is Falling by Paramore, Self titled album of Flyleaf, A Twist in my Story and Awake by Secondhand Serenade, Tomorrow comes yesterday by Bamboo, Deluxe by Boys like Girls, On Frail wings of vanity and wax by Alesana, Stadium Arcadium by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Silverstein’s Arrivals and Departures. Nothing beats the genuine one but as of now I’m gonna stick to downloading. I used to download album by album through torrents. When you download from torrents you can get the files little by little and you could continue downloading the next day if you couldn’t finish one. For example you are done with the 30% percent of the file you could stop right there and continue it the next day and start not to zero but to 30%. Turning off the PC won’t affect the cookies downloaded. I can finish 1 album in just 30 minutes or less. Last night I was able to download a clearer copy of the twilight movie and the soundtrack of it. All in all its size was 2.5 gigabytes and took me almost 5 hours but then it’s worth it. The soundtrack was awesome. It lets me reminisced the scenes in the movie. It is composed of 16 songs like Decode and I Caught Myself both by Paramore, Leave Out All the Rest by Linkin Park and the song that caught my attention “Flightless bird, American Mouth “by Iron and Wine. The Flightless Bird was the songs used on the last part of the movie where Edward and Bella dance for their prom. It is a relaxing song for me.
It was almost 9 pm when I began to download again. The next thing in line was the Paramore DVD entitled “The Final Riot”. Geez it was a big one. It is 17.6 gigabytes. It was almost 10 pm and I decided to sleep. I’m currently stuck at 10% and maybe I’ll continue it later ..ZZZzzz

For some questions on how to download songs, videos and softwares just leave it on my chatbox.

Product of my sickness

Last Saturday, after turning off my PC from a long day of playing grand chase and net surfing, I feel so worn-out and drowsy. It was like the most stressful day of my existence. I started at 8 am and finished up at almost 8 pm. My eyes are kinda invulnerable to too much exposure to radiation haha. But then until that day come when my body loss its immunity to too much exposure to radiation. I lie down on our sofa and my eyes begin to blur. The next thing that happens was I lose my consciousness. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital lying on a cozy bed. Damn I was sick lol. My fever is so high around 40 degrees Celsius. The doctor suggested me to lessen my computer usage-(no no no, I won’t listen to him. My whole system calls for it (^^,). My current record for the longest time online was 14 hours straight way back through the times I’m addicted to playing Ran online. It was so boring to stay in that place and a TV isn’t enough for entertainment. I asked my mom to bring my drawing stuffs. I’m just trying to be productive even if I’m unwell. Then I began to draw a chibi on a graphing paper. I’m not that gifted in drawing but I always think that I can-(trying hard haha). I spend a lot of paper until I ended up with an angel that looks sad. I named her “Betty”(it’s not what you think lol). My imagination is having a malfunction I guess. I just don’t know why I draw this thing. I didn’t draw her halo at all. It’s not that good and my excuse is I’m not feeling well in the times I created this haha.
That Sunday afternoon I was discharged from the hospital. Thanks to my guardian angel Betty she’s there watching me ^^.

Still in the midst of a Twilight Scene

I’m still in the midst of a twilight scene and I just can’t get rid of Edward Cullen’s cold looking skin and Isabella Swan’s fair neat complexion. I’m having a Twilight fever and it’s a lifetime disease ^^. I have already watched it three times. Twice in theatre and the other was on my PC (downloaded through torrents ^^). This is not only a must see movie but also a much hear one. Hear, what I mean is for you to listen to the characters exchange of words. Their lines really touch my heart feeling also in their situation proving the watchers everything is possible with love.

Some of my favorite lines and quotes are:

* “Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end”
* "Bella, I won't let anything hurt you — not even yourself. I won't let go of you once, I promise."
* And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
* We’re usually very good at what we do. Sometimes we make mistakes. Me, for example, allowing myself to be alone with you.
* It’s you, your scent; it’s like a drug to me. Like my own personal brand of heroin.
* I may not be a human, but I am a man.
* “I know that at some point, something I tell you or something you see is going to be too much. And then you’ll run away from me, screaming as you go. I won’t stop you. I want this to happen, because I want you to be safe. And yet, I want to be with you. The two desires are impossible to reconcile…”
* I don’t seem to be strong enough to stay away from you
* He called you pretty. That’s practically an insult, the way you look right now. You’re much more than beautiful.
* I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reason enough in the
last few months — but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.
* Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble,
even. That ought to count for something.

Good thing I have all 4 books and a pdf file of the 5^th of the sequel. The first book was “Twilight” followed by “New Moon, next was “Eclipse” then “Breaking Dawn” and the last was “Midnight Sun”. The author was Stephenie Meyer who’s really good in writing for me—ever ^^.

From Bella’s Chevrolet up to Edward’s Volvo. From the sunny place Phoenix, up to rainy conditions of Forks, Washington. From the alibi of Edward saying “Adrenaline rush” up to the third thing Bella is positive of saying she is unconditionally and irrevocably in love with a vampire. From the scene Edward saving Bella from getting hit by Tyler’s van up to their travel around the woods where Edward carries Bella on his back and shows his powers. From the Cullen family who claims that they are vegetarian up to the highlights of how vampires plays baseball are buried deep in me treasuring it until the day I die. I guess this was another thing to be added on my list of addictions. Though it’s fictitious it is a beautiful love story of a human and a vampire.

Another good thing about the movie is the theme song. Its theme song was entitled “Decode” played by my most favorite band from Franklin Tennessee, Paramore.. cheers ! I’ve got a clearer video of it after a day of its debut on MTV. Too bad Taylor York (tempo member- guitarist) wasn’t in the video. Hayley, Josh, Zac, and Jeremy rocks on that video. The three guys are good in pretending and imitating how vampires appear on the scenes. How I wish Isabella Swan’s role was played by Hayley Williams instead of Kristen Stewart and Edward Cullen’s role to Josh Farro rather than Robert Pattinson hahaha ^^. And BTW, yesterday I was able to watch MYX yesterday and Decode is #1 on the hit chart. I’ve already seen the video a lot but then it’s different when you watch it on TV knowing that it is the best coz it’s on the #1 spot. I hope it would stay longer on the countdown and I wish Paramore would still be the one to play the movies’ theme song up to its last book.

Feel free to comment your favorite line or quote from the movie..
Long Live Twilight-Edward-Bella fan.

3 Accidents and a dead man in one day

What a very horrible day for me. I was able to see 4 unfortunate scenes before going to school. Accidents are unexpected and I don’t want to start my day witnessing one. On my way to school riding a tricycle, an accident occurs. Two old man both riding a motorcycle are involved. Both guys were injured badly. They almost hit us. Death is almost a meter away from me that time. I was shocked WTF that was so close thank God a failure is still alive. I arrived at the jeepney terminal still in the midst of disturbance of what have happened earlier and again another unlucky thing arrives not on me but on the man who is shot lying on his own blood. The crowd is watching the cops as they take out the body from the crime scene. It is my first time to see a dead guy who is shot. I wanted to take a picture of it through my phone but I think it is against the man’s right. The blood is all over the place and I can’t look at it anymore coz it just adds the tension that I’m feeling. I ride the jeepney to school and for sure I’m gonna be late for my first subject. Halfway to the school another motorcycle accident happens. A guy riding a motorcycle hit a guy crossing the street. We stopped for a while and I saw the blood pouring from the nose of the guy who is hit. It is like a faucet left open blood just won’t stop from coming out of his nose. The guy riding the motorcycle wears a helmet, good for him. I pity the guy who’s hit coz I saw him really in great pain and I can’t do anything for him. Finally I arrived at school too bad I’m 45 minutes late for my subject so I didn’t attend it instead I went to our school chapel and pray for the things that happen today. I thank God I was safe and I pray for the people involve to be in good shape. Well I thought it was all over but then another disaster strikes. On my way home two cars crash on each other. What the heck I’m tired of seeing incidents like this. Accidents happen due to some errors and lack of discipline. It’s just a matter of discipline and everything else will follow though accidents aren’t made and I think it’s just the destiny that is behind it. If it is your time then you’re done. Only God can take away what He has lent us and it happens for a reason. I’m not afraid to die, I’m only afraid of dying at young age with my dreams left undone.

Drive Safely your family is waiting for you! ^^

2 more sleep and somebody is gonna sleep!

2 more sleep and somebody's is gonna sleep. Were expecting a K.O. Manny Go go go. Pride of the Philippines is on his another one big fight against Oscar dela Hoya. I bet for a 3 digit amount of money for Manny ^^. We know that he's the underdog well it doesn't matter coz he have the heart to fight anyone.

And this edit is for him. Hope he wins.

L Lawliet - my favorite character

Well it's been a long time since i created my last signature. Today, I used the picture of L of Death Note. He's my favorite character coz were kinda similar ^^.

L is a loner. He is not afraid of death and trust no one. His expressions are clearly visible unless he decides not to show them and doesn’t hide his true self behind a mask.

Death Note really touches my heart. Aside from paramore pics, I also collect death note pictures.

BTW, here is the picture that i used:

Here is the signature that i created:

I've created this for 15 minutes. I have a stopwatch beside to have some time pressure. It's fun editing at the same time playing. I add some C4D renders in here and applied some lightning effects with different blending modes.

Poem for best

Poem for Best

In the midst of my affliction
There you came as a remedy
To my empty soul
Up to my unhealthy heart
A pretty picture of you
Fills the emptiness in me
Your charming little eyes
Tells there’s no room for tears
Your everyday smiles
Shows me the brighter sides of life
The word friend really fits for you
I got more than my share
A piece of you who is always there
Though I haven’t done a lot for you
Inside you was an angel
Who lends me the wings
Which I used to fly high
Into the clouds of my dreams
You keep a failure as a treasure
Not regrets and it’s a pleasure
You show me the way to my desires
And squeeze me out of silence
For me I’m the richest
Because God gave me the best
Thank you for coming into my life
I wish our friendship lasts
Though forever really don’t exist

Robert's Twilight ^^

This week, I’m planning to watch the movie “Twilight”. I’m kinda busy in school but I’ll try to find time for it. I was able to read a few pages from its book and like Harry Potter, its long. Maybe I would be able to understand the story more if I watch it. Why read when you can watch, right? The trailer of the movie is good and it is a movie you shouldn’t miss. Robert Pattinson is the star in here. He plays the role of Edward. He is different from the Robert who plays Cedric Diggory in harry potter. He becomes more mature and gone bloody sexy (lol).

I browse for his pictures on the net and found a picture taken from the movie twilight and it looks perfect for an edit.

Here is the original picture:

Here is the edited one:

I apply an old trick to make him look like an undead. I used the sponge, dodge, and burn tool and draw some blood drips with a lasso tool and fill it with a dark red color. I add an image of a cloud as a background.
