I've recently discovered a tutorial site with a help of a friend that caters to the needs of those people who wanna learn Photoshop badly. Yes. From the basic editing of a photo to making a website through Photoshop-- its really guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing and start playing around with your Photoshop once again!


"Tutorials007 provides your free and easy all kind of tutorials and articles. Feel free to use our adobe photoshop, adobe flash, asp, php, css and other free tutorials for your learning purposes."


They started out way back on December 23rd, 2007 and a lot of people head on to their site to learn more about these stuffs, which I really find educating. As for me, I do love self-studying aside from educating myself by going on college... and this would be really a great help for an art and design student like me because I get additional knowledge from this site. :D Definitely a thumbs up for me.

Here are some inspirational works I found while browsing through their site. Some I have seen posted in one of our computer labs at school.






So why not head on to their site now and learn new stuffs? XD enjoy!

Hell yeah, everything concerned with my ex ended already, yesterday night. And now, let's make those creative juices flowing coz we're starting up this short animation for pRO (my chosen project) in my 2DAnim1 class in DLS-CSB.


Meet Heather Damon (she's supposedly the sister of Cecil Damon-- I just made it up lol. I wanna continue the story though). And yup, just like her elderly sister, she's a priestess in training and aims to meet her sister in BIO labs someday-- face to face.


And so, here's my Character Design and Body Turn.:

And yup, this month, I'll be starting to work on my first set of tutorials (as requested by my cousins and colleagues :D). Next stop! Chibi Tutorials. So please do visit my Deviantart page for more updates ;)

Honestly I'm no pvp person.. but a friend told me that there would be an upcoming 'friendly' match this siege on Saturday between my guild and theirs... I got worked up and suddenly went practicing in the pvp even if I'm just a level 74 (trapper type) sniper.


I haven't been leveling up these days.. I was broke due to finals and other stuffs I'm busy at. Other things I now prioritize than playing Ragnarok Online. I needed to catch up on my drawing and coloring skills as well. But then.. sometimes.. I feel left out in the game... even during RO talks in guild eb's. I read stuff but not all. I know stuff but not everything about RO. Sometimes I feel useless in the game. Sometimes, I just use the thought "at least you get to help your guild during WOEs by setting up traps" to keep me in the game. But for me.. how am I supposed to.. last if I kept feeling this way?


This isn't my first time. It happened a lot of times.. and sometimes I end up going inactive or almost on the verge of quitting if it weren't only for my friends... especially our guild master who coaxes me.


And sometimes I forget his advices.. those advices that gave me hopes back then. 


Why am I feeling this way.

Tight schedules, christmas parties here and there, choir practices, never ending projects and plates and my irrational side... they all keep me from posting worthy-to-read stuff here. I don't know. Recently.. I've been writing some blog posts here.. but I never had the guts to publish them. Maybe a part of me wants to stop letting everyone I feel about the things happening to me anymore.. maybe... just maybe..

Anyways.. December was really nice. Especially in my school. The positive and warm feeling I'm getting right now helps me a lot on my course... especially on my subjects. I am pretty much inspired to do a lot of artworks right now. Its like inspirations are overflowing everywhere XD. I do hope in the next days I'll be able to channel this out in the right way. :)

Networking sites got flooded with word of congratulations for Philippines' Manny Pacquiao as early as 1:45 PM. Livestream video on internet helped a lot in letting everyone updated in the match even though there are livestream shows in local cinemas in Philippines as early as 9 AM of November 15, 2009.Pound for Pound boxers, Pacquiao (in red shorts) and Cotto (in white shorts) faced off at MGM Grand and made a history. The match ends at around 12th round when the referee stops the fight with 2:05 remaining, making Manny the winner of the bout.

My recent weekend was probably the best ever ones I had in my entire life. Last November 7 and 8, gamers from all over the Philippines gathered at the World Trade Center at Buendia to be part of LU Live '09.

As early as noon of November 6, LU fans were already lined up outside the gates of WTC to take part in the Early Bird Promo. Well I was fascinated and I was really amazed at the patience of these people just for that. XD Talk about LU fandom.

Of course LU Live '09 wouldn't be complete with games, events and LU City... and this year, my guild, Revamped Blasphemy was lucky enough to be part of it.

Tales of the Manuvu

Yesterday I went to CCP to watch "Tales of the Manuvu", a ballet about the tribe of Manuvu (Manobo) and also a requirement for our PARTDES class (which is considered as our make-up class as well). And its really been awhile since I went there... I don't really know... but I felt relaxed being there even if I'm all alone. Must be its my only break from the work for LU Live 09, schoolworks and house chores. @_@

Anyway its pretty cool and I even thought if I got lost cause the opening scene was not that ethnic... err.. or maybe its just me who couldn't connect the first part of the show to the Manuvus. The first part was like a ball... and the dancers were in their gowns and all.. I was really asking myself 'what's the connection?'

But anyway, the second half of the show was the real thing. The performers wowed the audience with their sleek ballet moves, flashy modern outfits (still looks tribal only in a fashionista and Lady Gaga style), and the modern- ethic vocals. Everyone was like applauding and shouting "Bravo". Well I couldn't help it either. I love the concept, the way they did their props and costumes. Plus the dancing is really great! I am particularly amazed with Oggasi's partner.. (Idk her name though) but she was like, dancing with heels! Cool really.

Cousins night out with my childhood best friend


....Well I had problems with my money after watching the Tales of the Manuvu since the ticket is still pricey despite the student discount I had, so I was left with no choice but to go to SM MOA so I could go home with my cousins and my brother.

When I got there, they haven't started playing Bowling since there is an on-going tournament and there are only few lanes available for the customers to play with. So after 15 minutes of waiting, they finally got to play, and I just took pictures for them and cheered as well. I was envy the whole time coz I don't have money and I can't play. wah.

When they finished, we strolled at the San Miguel by the Bay and took pictures. There I felt the Christmas season feeling and it reminded me of what happened last year when me and my grade school batch mates were there.

I was the last one in our group while we're walking towards the mall when my best friend (let's name him "M") called out my name and when I looked up, he hugged me tightly. That was my first hug from him after 13 years being best friends.


M was with us that night and he kept on talking to me.. non-stop. I just responded to him with a few nods and sentences because everything feels awkward. I couldn't help reminiscing that memory and comparing it to what is happening. Maybe his feelings for me were still there... but then, mine vanished.--- weh, wait. Enough of that crap... @_@ where was I anyway?

Oh right, there. After strolling along the bay, we decided to eat/ drink... and my cousins decided to go to Bed Scene, a bar near La Mesa Grill and Gerry's Grill behind SM MOA. Its my first time to be in a bar so I was thrilled when we got inside. Of course, people were like staring at us coz our group looked kinda young to be in there, but hey only two in our group are minors. 




So there, my cousins treated me dinner and I drank two bottles of San Miguel Light XD. (weeee). On our way home... ummm M treated me the shuttle fare and well he was sleepy so I let him lean his head on my shoulder (since I'm sleepy as well) but then as I was about to close my eyes, I heard my cousins chuckling and teasing us so I opened my eyes and pretended I was looking at the floor or something else. M also woke up and decided not to lean on my shoulder at all. We ended up chatting even though we're pretty sleepy. And got home without our parents noticing me and my brother drank XD.
