u and me

       

                      Before I move to the different part of the world, I make a silly but cute art. It’s just a compilation of my thoughts when I receive the schedule of my flight. The first thing that I think of is U, I know it’s been half year since we decided to move on separately but it’s so obvious that I still have that burning feeling towards you. There’s so many things I wanted to ask and so many words that my mouth want to spill out on you. I know you’ve changed, your feelings changed, and many things have changed around us. But I’m still hoping that we could be good enough to be friends or more than that. Two years may give U enough time to find Urself, to know Urself more, to meet someone, to be free and to sum up Ur thoughts headed for the things around U, and also same to ME. I believe that everything happens for a reason, come what may our fate brings us, I know that God plans are best for us. Though in the end we may not have our happy ending being together, I know God will be there to give us something that we can cherish until the rest of our lives. Always remember that you’ll always be my special LUBS in my life and nothing could change that. I’m grateful to have you in my life, all the loves and kindness, all the pain and untold sacrifices is all worth it, because I know our love before was genuine like no other.

       

2013

                    Compilations of different words of wisdom to encourage positive thinking in this year of the water snake 2013.

Adventure time

   

       I’m a fan of this Cartoon Network animated creation “Adventure Time of Finn and Jake” by “Pendleton Ward”. It was released on April 5, 2010 and was received with massive positive statement. A superb journey of two best buds in different places saving princesses, making new friends and discovering the different phases of reality in the “Land of Ooo”. That take time in “ Post Apocalyptic Future” about a thousand years after a nuclear war also known as the “Great Mushroom War”. The scenario take place after the bombs have fallen and magic has come back into the world- (According to Ward).This animated series is described as a dark comedy, but for me it’s full of mystery and the feel of unknown. What I mean by the “feel of unknown “is more on this scenario – watching it is not like a daily cartoon there is a certain kind of feeling that your looking for a clue on what happened to every character, why they look like that and why they always on the go for an adventure to saves something. I love dark comedy where it is compose of the feeling of happiness and scared at the same time. If you watch one of its series it will actually tell you the “scared factor” that I mean, because of the odd and strange characters, attitude and where the story took place.

          The main character are Finn, the 14 year old human boy – if you have seen some of the series you will notice that he is the only human resemblance on of all the character as well as "Susan" though there’s kind of doubt if she is really a human or she belongs to a strange fish-headed, animal-hatted mutant tribe is. Finn has burning characteristic little boy with strong morals that saves them in every temptation situations. His fears include the ocean, clowns, spiders, and being judged by older people due to his age. Finn is in a relationship with "Flame Princess" and that is another story to find out. And then there’s "Jake" the dog, Finn’s best friend with his magical powers where he can change his body into different kinds of shapes and shrink if he likes. He has this character of being a happy go lucky dog who loves to play viola and willing fight with Finn in different situations and monstrous characters in the Land of Ooo. Jake has also have a bad past where he use to steal bikes and purses from old lady base on the episode shown. He has a relationship with "Lady Rainicorn", who is pregnant with their children.

          Next is "Princess Bubblegum", the cute lady in pink, she is a humanoid candy most likely to described, with the heart of kindness and elegance. She rule the Candy Kingdom where populated by different kind of lovely desserts and candies. She loves doing sort of experiments to protect the kingdom to different type of desperado monster.

          Let’s move on to my favorite character "Marceline the Vampire Queen", a thousand years old mysterious type girl vampire with her bass that made from her family’s heirloom battle axe. Not like the popular vampire we know, Marceline is not sucking blood out of human or animals, she eats only the color red out of the objects. She's fun, she is adventurous, scary – well most likely because she always chase and scared Finn and Jake, she’s artistic and only want to be love by her father.

          Next “Lumpy Space Princess” in short “LSP” when you see this character you will burst to laugh in hearing her voice, it’s more like a British gay speaking in a manly tone of voice.  She is a Princess in the “Lumpy Space” that is sort of a sky palace in different dimension of the galaxy. She is a is an extraterrestrial creature known as a "Lumper" which looks like a floating purple cloud with arms and a face, and can convert other beings into Lumpers by biting them. “LSP” characters are like an intimidated girl and she got this addiction of improving herself in different way. She also like running away from home because she hates her parents most of the time-that they don’t understand her: she got fake friends and she wants to hang out with Finn and Jake.

          Lastly another great character “The Ice King”- for me he is kind of a villain with a heart. That means that he is bad but also has good soul. I think the reason why she kidnapped princesses is just to find someone who can understand him- someone who can accept him as he is (ehem). But also base on Ward series that I watched entitled “Holly Jolly Secrets” Finn and Jake discover a VHS tape that they watched using Beemo (more likely a PlayStation), that The Ice King was also a human and just got his powers on the golden crown that he just purchased, still I'm confused of his origin.

          There are lot of characters in this wonderful adventure of Finn and Jake but it’s for you to find out who are they. After reading this I’m sure you’re most likely to have an interest on this animated series. It’s still showing in the “Cartoon Network”, how I wish I can have all those copies and watch them in marathon with a bunch of potato chips, salsa, orange juice and my best friend who also a fan of it. The picture you see above the story is my work of art using “Adobe illustrator C6”, I’m just a beginner with no proper training- just self-taught. I hope you like everything in this blog, and hope to be your friend as well.

Christmas Eve 2012

            Before every family get busy like a bee preparing for their “Noche Buena” my high school friends and I brighten up our day by doing a mini Christmas Party at S.M Bacoor City Mall (our hang-out place).  It’s just a non-plan party, we just got bored waiting for Christmas Eve and we want to occupy our time with a remarkable and blissful things. Our friend Owen make a group messages for all of us out of the blue and everyone agree to meet up at the mall. By four in the afternoon Me, Owen, Leo and Dianne were already circuiting around the mall while waiting for the others.  I wanted to make the mini dinner party unforgettable so I decided that we should have our exchange gifts. At first they don’t like the idea, because it’s just a waste of time looking for the gifts and second it’s another waste of money! (Guys where’s the spirit of Christmas by reasoning like that!) But after all the mocking that I make, they all agree to my indication of gift giving at the price of 100 pesos and above. Once Johnson and Stephanie arrive I tossed all the name folded paper on the floor so we can get who’s we’re exchanging gifts with. So we only have 20 minutes to look for a gift and go back to the meeting place at Pizza Hut, where we are going to have our Christmas dinner. I’m freaking out what to buy for my friend Dianne, I got her name and I don’t actually know what things will fit to her. After gazing in the boutique, I finally bought my present to her; It’s a black bonnet with a print of skull in the middle, kind a gothic but chic. After I pay for it and wrap it up I went to our meeting place, well everyone’s late as usual, so I headed to the Pizza Hut and just look what’s on their menu, I’m hungry and I want to have the dinner as early as we can cause I need to rush back home to be with my family. Then Leo, Owen and Dianne shows up, we agreed that will order while waiting for the two sloths, so as soon as they arrive we can start our meal. The two hash out before our foods served, but we wait not that long, before we spoil our delicious foods we go first in exchanging gifts. First is Owen, he get a gift from Leo-it’s a brown pouch bought at Human with matching paper bag (well Owen seems to be contented with that!) Second is Johnson, he receives a gift from Owen- surprisingly it’s a big joke! A girly neck towel! (Everyone burst into laughter after seeing that thing, it’s so gayish! And we feel sorry for him getting a gift from the joker-Owen). And then it’s my turn- my present was from Johnson a necklace with a camera piece, it was cute and simply and I appreciate it. Dianne got my bonnet from Genevieve Gozum Boutique, she laughs when she saw it with a big skull print and in black color, they say it was like a rocker headdress or a motorist. We joke about it and we get so high. Next is Stephanie- she got a handkerchiefs from Dianne and it is an Armando Caruso brand. Exciting to have the last gift is Leo- he got a perfume from Stephanie- a blue bottle from Penshoppe. Everyone enjoy the exchange gift thing and really appreciate the effort, without wasting time we head to our meal and enjoy every bits of it. On our table we have “Parmesan Cheesy Crust Pizza Supreme”, Meatballs spaghetti, chicken wings, chicken and mushroom soup and ice tea for drinks, it was all good for six people and we like it!! After small funny conversation we plan to have a little walk just to subside our full tummy, but I let them know first that I need to go back home and the mall is closing as early as eight in the evening so there’s no place there that we can hang out at. After a few goodbyes I take my cab and went home, while the others are lurking around the park. Well that’s it, another day of fun with good friends. Surely I will miss spending Christmas Eve with them.

my frustration!

       

   

          One of my biggest frustration is to be a graphic artist. As my first sketch in my self-process-graphic-artist, I made this vector art. Simple-messy-doodle type art. I think it's cute enough for a record label front picture in your cd case. One of my favorite song from the famous band "the killers" is " here with me". The song reminds me of everything I miss. (everything in being in-love)

So here's the lyrics, hope you have time to listen to their great music.

Wheels are turning
I remember when you were mine
Now just to reach you
Baby, I'd stand in line

But there's another world
We're living in
Tonight

And there's another heart
That's fading in
The light

Don't want your picture
On my cell phone
I want you here with me
Don't want your memory
In my head now
I want you here with me

Spent the summer, just laying out in the sun
Time seems to move so slow
When you're taking it as it comes
Maybe we were just too young

Your body was tanned and your hair was long
You showed me your smile and my cares were gone
Falling in love filled my soul with fright
You said "Come on babe, it'll be alright"
I must have been a fool to the bitter end
Now I hold on to hope to have you back again
I'd bargain and I'd fight

But there's another world
We're living in
Tonight

Don't want your picture
On my cell phone
I want you here with me
I don't want your memory
In my head now
I want you here with me

Well I saw you in a restaurant
The other day
And instead of walking towards you
I ran away
And I'll keep on waiting for you
Till you'll come around
Come around and say

Don't want your picture
On my cell phone
I want you here with me
Don't need those memories
In my head now
I want you here with me

Ooooh!
Ooooh!
Here with me
Ooooh!
Ooooh!
Ooooh!
Here with me

Tuesday is "ICE SKATING DAY".

Tuesday is "ICE SKATING DAY".

          I'm not good in everything because I'm super duper good!! ehem ehem! 

The first sentence of this blog is so ridiculous! Yes I'm just boosting my inner spirit that in time I would be a figure skater! ☺ I don't know what to do this Tuesday I just want to spend my time in something productive or something that make me feel free and happy. So this is it, I move my chair backward, step up go into closet wear my black leggings and gray sando and tie my shoelace. Ready and no turning back this could be a good time and a memorable one. It was my choice to go ice skating at S.M Mall of Asia with my parekoy Elaine and his future boyfriend hehe Tito Kenneth. Before getting into ice, we crash at my favorite burger restaurant "WHAM" to get some for our tummy. After that we head to the ice skating ring, it's hard and we’re gliding every time we try to move. We are having a hard time, while everyone is smoothly dancing their way around the ring. We spend two hours teaching how to balance ourselves yet we failed to do so. Bad it is, but there’s always another time for improvement, still first time experience is the best one. Today my arms are sore because of having a hard time sticking into the side walls so I won’t fall down into the ice floor woosh! So if you are a good skater hope you have a time to teach me the right one. ☺

Toast Box Experience

          December 17, 2012. I had an appointment to my employer regarding our visa papers and other documents, so I went to the office in Malate, Manila in the afternoon. After all the things have settled, I contact my parekoy Elaine to have some snack and join her in her field work. While waiting to her bosses we decided to have our snack at “TOAST BOX” located at ground floor Padre Paura Wing, Robinsons Malate, Manila. It was a cozy restaurant; we enjoy the ambience that’s so inviting and pleasing to the eyes. The decors and the whole place is so simple and homie, the walls are painted in plain white, the decors are window frames that attached to the walls are also painted in white. The lightning are in lamp post type hanging in the ceiling, the table setting is simply white pair with white finished chairs. Their menu is trouble-free yet you may have that little curiosity towards the foods that they serve. The restaurant was originated at Singapore so expect the Asian invasion in their delicacies, the restaurant serves more on the breakfast type of menu, and well known in serving a cup of “Nanyang Coffee” (the traditional coffee in Singapore) go along with toasted bread. As we move on, we had their specialties or signature dishes, mine is “Kaya Toast” it’s a toast bread fill with coconut jam and butter, and I paired it with tall ice tea in with brown sugar. While elaine’s have her “Pork Floss Thick Toast” a toasted bread with shredded pork meat on the top- a taste of saltiness and sweetness of the bread, she paired it with a cup of black coffee. Every breakfast meals comes with two pieces boiled eggs, it was so odd but I think they have it as part of the meal to complete the daily dose of energy (carbohydrates and protein) into to your breakfast meal to boost of your body. I think I will go back there to try some of their “Laksa”, “Chicken Curry” and “Ice Cream Thick Toast”. You should try it to to enjoy a different twist in Asian cuisine.
