Up Dharma Down’s album launch is going to be this Friday and I’m really hoping I can go! I really want to watch them again because the last time I watched them was 2 years ago, methinks. It was when Lokomotiv was still in the country and 6 Underground Makati still existed. Oh yeah, next Tuesday is Bamboo’s album launch for Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday. Good thing I didn’t bought their album yet cause I’ll get it on the launch next week if ever I get to go. Nothing’s really stopping me from going, parents are okay with it, no financial problems and I have my way of transportation to get there and thankfully it’s in Makati so it’s pretty near my place anyway. But I have many things to accomplish for school, aka PLATES! My parents are irritated whenever they sleep because I’m still up after midnight making these plates it bothers them because I’m still awake, when I should be asleep instead. My batchmates are irritated at my plates (not me) because it’s keeping me from going out to hang out with them, oh they have tons of free time now since it’s their sembreak (there’s only 2 in our batch who’s in CSB right now).

Actually, I only got a break right now from plate-making. :roll: More like procrastinating, hi-ya! I feeling quite bipolar-ish lately. I’m having mood swings, not because I have my period. I don’t have right now actually. 😐 I hate it. I’ve thought about dropping subjects to dropping school and just be a bum, I can do that.. or maybe I can’t. I’d really feel guilty about the money my parents spent on my tuition already. And I know I would miss a lot if I leave school, not academic-wise, duh. My friends, people I know, people I love (FRIENDS still). I remember my friend (who turned a year older yesterday, haha!) said something that goes like this during our freshman year, “It’s the people that makes my time in school worthwhile, never mind the hard works our professors give us, as long as we’re with the people we want to be with”. Oh yeah I definitely agree. If ever I turned to a weirdo/loner at school, I would’ve dropped my studies. Sadly, yea.

Mhmm, so just a little gist with what I’m up to these days. PLATE-MAKING. It’s making my like deteriorate unfortunately. Subjects I thought I’d love are starting to go to my hate list :)) . Being a loser that I am (hahaha) during freshman year I was so eager to take up COMGRAP and I finally did this year! Hurray! Only to find out it’s a crap subject. IDK, just my opinion y’all. Sure I’m learning but it’s sooo hard. Goddamn lazy SOB. We have to do a graphic novel cover of ourselves. Why can’t we just color someone’s lineart? πŸ˜› Why am I like this? Because we have to draw the character who’s going to be on the GN cover. And you may have known that I really can’t draw to save my life. :roll: So yeah, I smell the stench of failure somewhere here.

Same goes for my FREHAND subject, I had to repeat 2 plates because it looks ugly and unpresentable, sad. Professor demands QUALITY. My friend shared that it also looks like the prof’s putting us on a competing scale against the other section (God I hope the prof won’t see this). I’m done with plate number 1, :roll: . I’ve no idea if he will accept it.. it looks clean for the most part, its completely WHITE. JK!

Actually it’s better when it’s farther, HAHA.

I hate FREHAND. 😑 πŸ˜₯ Same with COMGRAP, I can smell the stench of failure as well. Don’t even get me started with COLREND. It’s alright at first but that’s because our real prof was gone for 3 weeks and we were handled by substitute professors. Tomorrow he’ll be back and it’ll be hell again for sure.

So much hate in this post, I’mma neutralize it with LOVE. So I love our Photography subject.. it’s not exactly my best subject (I’d say NSTP is my best subject this term, hahaha!) but I’m learning and I love it. For our finals, we have a coffee table project. Last Monday we were told to give proposals for a theme and I had 6 themes but he chose my proposed Nature theme. I’m excited but I’m unequipped if you what I mean. ;;) I don’t have a DSLR. I don’t think its advisable to use a P&S cam, no? I’m trying to borrow one from a friend… and I told my dad about it but he still doesn’t think I’m in the position to use one. :roll: Geez. Goodluck to me on that one.

Aww Gel, thanks for much for the award! :heart: One week left and it’ll be November by then.. who’s excited for Twilight? πŸ˜€

Pressure

People, people! I have 2 new hostees! Everyone, please welcome Jeni and Becca! :yay: I apologize for the late announcement and Becca dear, I am trying my best to fix the lil problem we have right now

Happy October to everyone! It’s rather confusing to assume if we’re off to a bad start because of the rain/typhoon (but in my case it’s a GOOD start, hoping for no classes tomorrow! :)) ) or it’s just there to fool us, making us see that this October is going to be a good one.

Lemme share something to you guys, do you ever wonder why there are a lot of ‘October Babies’?? I do, all the time.. it ain’t no coincidence anymore, back in HS I use to think it’s just ‘timing’ that I know a lot of people who have birthdays in the said month but when I got to college, about 10+ people have birthdays in October. WHY IS THAT? What does October have that other months doesn’t have?? Thoughts? πŸ˜›

I’m starting to hate this term. πŸ™ Because we’re being given with tons of stuff to do. I know I shouldn’t be complaining because it’s going to benefit me sooner or later but they’re things I don’t wanna do that bothers me. Can you guess what most of my professors are making us do right now that bothers (particularly) me? Starts with the letter ‘D’ and ends with ‘G’. πŸ˜† Well, yeah I’ll leave it to you guys to figure that out and you will.. eventually.

I’m not good in rendering traditional art manually. That’s it. I tried (my best) coloring, drawing, sketching.. but they all come out crap. I have never done any trad. art that came out passable, near-perfect and clean. Always dirty. It’s not just a state of mind, I kept my mind open and thought of ‘happy thoughts’ while making them.. no help at all. So much for being positive, no? I’m willing to learn but yeah maybe fate doesn’t want me to.

Practice is the way to go, but there’s just way too many things around me that distracts me not to focus. THAT’S IT! I lack focus and practice. Assuming that I’m good with computer stuff already, it’s because I’ve done nothing for the past years but spent tons of hours infront of the PC. πŸ˜› I’ve had too much practice already. I need to do other stuff. But as the saying goes, Old habits die hard. It’s like wanting to stop smoking but you can’t and you won’t.. until you see the side effects of what you’re doing, hopefully that won’t happen to me. No, I don’t smoke.

Enough with that. On my TO-DO list: (1) Create a Cylinder and Cone without the use of a ruler in a 3-point perspective and add shadows to them (HAND DRAWN) and (2) create a pattern for each of the Four Temperaments using the elements of Nature (HAND DRAWN) must be realistic looking when colored.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. *insert more here* I’ve done one though, finish this color wheel for my color rendering class. Wanna know something? It took me 3x to redo the whole thing, just imagine the amounts of paint wasted for it. πŸ™ I hate it when paint gets wasted. I am not enjoying the sight of getting it wasted.

I’m not having much problems on my other subjects, just these drawing subjects.. I thought I’d get away with taking Design Principles last year, but I guess I still have to face the other drawing subjects the hard way. I never thought we’d be drawing in our History of Arts II subject, cause I didn’t last term. 😐

Oh, woe is me with this kind of misery. Bullshit.
I have never felt this pressured because usually I have a way with getting away with it. *sigh* Now is different from the rest.

This term is THE term I would be out-of-this-world happy if I receive 1.0 or 1.5 on my course card giving day on all my drawing subjects. I seem to have badluck when its the 2nd term, just like last year when I got a failing grade on one of my subjects. :roll: FUCK!! I’m having thoughts on shifting to another course but it’s prolly too late, even people I’ve asked are against the idea.

I hate talking about school 80% on my blog posts, especially when they’re not happy-happy. I miss talking about the movies I watched or stuff I’ve downloaded. HAHAHA. Btw, I’ve watched Heroes last week and there’s too much going on and flaws are showing up. But I still enjoy watching it. I’m downloading episode 3 right now and blogging here to pass by time! πŸ™‚ Mohinder is disgusting, bow. =))

Damn pressure.. 3 more months to go. This is probably the longest term in a year in CSB. I hope classes will be suspended tomorrow because I’m sure as hell not ready to make hybrids and attend color rendering classes. Thank God for the rain, I hope it continues till Friday. πŸ˜† But it seems to have slowed down now.. NOOO!! Let’s be grateful everyone and do the banana dance and rain dance/song!

Speaking of banana dance.. I’d like to thank people who signed up for Plurk using my referral link! :heart: I got 10 referrals last night and now abusing the exclusive smileys, much like controlling not to abuse them because my Karma might go down. Hahaha, Plur(k)-ddicted much?! Seriously, thank you guys for the help! :worthy:

That’s all for now I guess. I hope I finish everything in time. ;;)
