MY AVATAR

Created my avatar. 1/20

PAHIYAS, QUEZON

I will always remember Tina's creed that says "take me anywhere, I am yours!" even if we knew na maglalaway ang mga kili-kili namin sa init at ikasusunog ng balat namin.

WANNA DRAW!

What a cute art!

I was browsing random blogs when I saw Sho'nuff Love's vector arts. Colors are really pleasing and attractive. My greatest frustration IS to draw perfect figures in which, I can't seem to accomplish, leaving me frustrated and real sad. These beautiful creations - they are all made of simple shapes, connected to one another thus, creating amazing art..

I've been wanting to create 20 character designs but I haven't figured out what I really wanna do yet. So, let's see.. This blog was supposed to contain designs and tutorials pero parang napuno na ng travels. This blog should contain atleast 70% graphic design and tutorials, 20% travel and 10% random stuffs. I lost my motivation again.

D-I-Y TRIP: BAGUIO DAY 1

I am actually thinking of going back to a place twice a year to experience having to pay fares and stuffs directly out of my pocket. And of course, will travel the Travel Factor way!

TO CONTINUE OR NOT TO CONTINUE?


Me, Nads and Shane went on an impulsive trip to Baguio on a rainy June. It was an usapang lasing when Nads wanted to get away from Manila and escape her sadness at that drinking moment. The three of us agreed on a Friday night with warmly reddish but happy faces. (I canceled my Ilocos trip with Travel Factor for this) The trip was scheduled two weeks away from that day and believe it or not, we never spoke a single word about our Baguio plans after that night.

THE LOST MOUNTAIN OF BALAWIS

I had an epicly funny conversation with Che (Bi / Baklang Balahura) earlier this morning. We were talking about what I like, and that I am looking for friends na dedicated to do the things na pareho naming trip. She said she can be my walking companion and she wanna try hiking too thus, the name Mt. Balawis was born.

THOUGHT OF YOU

Oh-sowm!

2D animation is done by Ryan Woodward. I can't help myself smiling while watching this short animation. Let alone, the music. It is both beautiful and inspiring.

DREAMING OF MY GARDEN WEDDING

Seriously?

So, I am, in amidst of an afternoon creative work, serenading myself of David Grusin's It Might Be You when I dreamt about getting married - garden wedding.. Oh so not me. Eew!

Seriously, you will fall in love with it. Most especially on "Maybe it's you, maybe it's you" flute part with piano combo. Right now, I am dreaming about the priest reading our vows while I am happily shedding bucketful of tears and my oh-so-handsome groom is giving me his best save-your-happy-tears-for-later smile. I am kind of excited and it's making me feel all lazy at the same time. I mean, look outside! It's raining and it's cold. It is the best time to just cuddle in bed, read a book while you listen to "Maybe it's you, maybe it's you" flute combo. Awww.. This feeling is indescribably amazing.. (to eat a stuffed crust pizza and have a cola for a drink is optional -- but necessary)

MAYBE IT'S YOU, MAYBE IT'S YOU
Envisioning this emotional moment is giving me goose bumps. Birds, butterflies, wind, sunset, family, friends and groom are included. (Batteries not included) I never thought of dreaming about my own wedding, not until today. But the problem is, I can't give up these things just yet:

Oh no, they are not mine. But I can't give up hotdog, my dirty chucks and my love for vinyl toys yet. :(

God has better plans for me, For He knows that I am not ready to give up things I enjoy at the present moment. I am not ready. I know that too, I am pretty sure about it.

Listening to David Grusin's It Might Be you is enough for the meantime. It is making me fall in love again. God is constantly reminding me how beautiful it is to love and be loved back. He is just busy fixing international chaos and healing those wounded people. I can wait.. :) He knows that too. And besides, commitment is not my priority. (for now)

I MISS BEING AN ACTIVE STUDENT DRUMMER - PRELUDE TO UAAP SEASON 74

The Manong Squad / High Council Members (2003) From Left to Right: Third, Chippy, Dagz, Don, Me, Lester, Ryan and Michael

About the main photo: I posted my recent picture of me with them. (I think) I know it's not decent because I left most of the original members out of the picture. I am sorry guys! :D

It was 2003 of 1st Semester when I joined the FEU Pep Squad along with Anne. The only reason why we tried our luck in there was because of the jacket and an embroidered bag with the letters FEU on it (plus the free UAAP tickets). It's our "dapat malaki at malakas" voice that made us secure a slot for the final audition. It took us a fruitful two weeks to earn our way there.

The final audition came and we became an official member of the team. Most of my classmates are members of the FEU Cheering Squad kaya madalas magkakausap kami. It was I think, in June that my seatmate and friend, JP auditioned naman for a slot in FEU Drummer churva. He was overjoyed upon learning that the Dark Age* came to an end. That means a great opportunity and they will all start from scratch. Not literally, because Ryan and Michael was a part of the Pep Squad together with the Dark Age Drummers. I think 2002 pa sila member noon. Advantage na rin for both of them because they are familiar with the drum beats. I started to show interest in joining them but being a girl is a major disadvantage. Obviously, puro boys lang sila. But I was makulit and I keep on asking Rex if I can join them. Finally, because they are really in need of members, Ryan told JP to bring me for audition. Hahaha! Tumbling ako men!

From Left to Right: Ryan, RC, Don, James, Me, Michael, Ian, TJ, JP, Marc, Lawrence, Rex and Monsi (to the rest of the guys, sorry! Hindi ko friends sa FB kaya wala akong makuhang pics)

So there, punta ako sa quarters nila sa Arts Building, 6th floor, Men's locker room. (Oh yes, men's locker room! There are lotsa tututs out there!) Oh so happy, I got all of their approvals! I play both snare and bass and I was the first girl ever to join the FEU Drummer history.
