Recently, I’ve had this habit of smiling while texting. The reactions people give me for doing so are precious. They range from smiling back at me mischievously to giving me exasperated sighs, but never do I get an indifferent reaction. I usually ask them if it’s not acceptable in our society to smile when texting, then follow up with the excuse that it takes less facial muscles to smile than to frown. However, I Googled if that adage is true and found out that it is not. Boo. Now I can’t use that excuse even if people don’t know, because I myself know that it’s not. Crap.
People also keep telling me that I’m blooming, but I don’t know if that’s true. I feel yuckier than ever, however, one thing’s for sure: I do smile more. Last night I had the misfortune of having no seat on the bus. The conductor told me that I could sit near the driver by the door, and I agreed since I don’t want inertia tossing me all around the bus. Plus, sitting beats standing at any time of the day. The conductor asked me if I wanted more air (i.e. he would direct the aircon vent towards me) but I said no, with this really biiiiig smile on my face. He must have been weirded out.(=.= )
I drew this on one of those days.
And no I really didn’t mean the drooling part that much.>:D
I’m catching bipolarity tho. Sometimes everyone should just give me free ice cream and blueberry cheesecake then go away This picture was taken on one of those days.
Hi there Tumblr.:) I just spent my free night joining art sites. I must have been on drugs last night, because I joined three. What’s weirder is that I don’t even understand half of what two of those sites say. It’s a struggle to navigate around Pixiv and Drawr, even with the help of Google Translate. (But still, oh how I thank Google Translate! At least I get the gist of some things.)
Here are my profiles on the sites I joined last night:
Please do check them out tho I’m sure I’ve done nothing worth of oohs and aaahs since I barely create anything of koality.:| And, and! If you have accounts there, please add me as a contact!:D It’s so ronery out there in the intarnets world.:<
This is me being a no0b, but I like the fact that Drawr and Sketch.odopod replays how you drew a picture.♥ Maybe this way, I can finally improve because I can see my progress. My current status is: Level 0—Eew. On Pixiv, I think I’ll be motivated to improve since honestly, it’s pitiful to post inferior art there with all those awesome Pixiv artists posting their creative stuff. I have Paint Tool SAI, Photoshop, Corel and a sketchpad, but I just don’t have the drive to practice.
*Sigh.* This is the sound of me getting frustrated on my “artistic” skills once again.
THIS links to the image above. You can see me getting all confused on how I would finish it.=P
I almost forgot to make a post about this!D: I just remembered because I was going to edit a picture in Photoshop, thus noticing the folder where I stored my drafts. I was one of the tasked to make a T-shirt design for a fundraising activity in our organization. The shirt’s target consumers are U.P. students, so being the forever child I am, I decided to make it based on the movie UP. Here’s the basic design:
The balloon colors were different in my first draft which kind of reeked of magenta:
I made it more colorful in order to be, let’s say… more faithful to the movie UP. I deemed it safe to post it here in Tumblr since my design was rejected. It wasn’t really harshly rejected, because even I was against this design. Let’s say you’re a guy. You won’t buy it, right? I know that this design won’t be feasible for sale (adding in the expenses of having that many colors to print) yet I still finished it. Oh, the chibi guy isn’t initially supposed to be there, it was supposed to be the Oblation,but it sucks, tbh. So I just drew this guy who looked like Pucca. WAHAHAHA. However, even tho it’s not going to be up for sale, which is good since it looks like Disney and Pixar don’t need to sue me, what do you think of the concept and design?:)
Earlier this week, I bought a sketch pad in the form of a notebook without lines. I think it’s pretty great: the size is just right for pretending that I’m taking notes during class and I don’t really take that much space when drawing on paper. Add in the thought that it doesn’t take too much space inside my bag, and the pages are thick enough to ensure that heavily drawn in lines won’t affect the other pages. I bought it somewhere within UPLB since I didn’t have time to go to the mall to buy a sketchpad—I was desperate at that time. I was pure of jealousy over this Tumblr pip whose drawings, which are doodled in her mini sketchpad, are oh-so-owsm. I realized some time later that I should have waited a few days before buying, because a friend also decided to give me one of these. Oh well, at least I can draw whenever I want since I already have a spare once I use up all the pages.>:D
My life collection? K.
I initially planned to post all current 15 doodles in it, but I guess I’ll just post those that I’m proud of.(=3=)
Here’s the first page drawing. It’s made so whoever might see it immediately knows it’s mine. Hohoho. I also wrote my whole name and my cellphone number at the back so if ever I lose it, the person who picks it up will feel a mighty conscience and impulse to contact me and return it. Yey!~ Anyway, my favorite detail is the jellyfish with ze mustache. I loved it so much that the octopus in my chibi Naruto drawing also has a mustache! 
I also drew Alois (Kuroshitsuji II), Orihime (Bleach) and a genderbent Nao (Angel Beats!) but meh. They’re not that satisfactory.:| Sailormoon is okay, maybe. A friend told me that almost all of the girls I drew look alike. Haha.
*comment on the smoking lolita: What is anatomy? asdfghjklsdfghjkl;;;;
I’m kind of proud (okay, really proud :D) of the mermaid tho.=P I think it’s the best I drew so far. I just hate the way the scales are uneven.
This one is inspired by three things:
- My Totoro keychain, shown below
- My Miffy and Friends gel pen, shown below with Totoro keychain
- My task in the org to create a shirt deign for U.P., which is due today yet I haven’t even started conceptualizing in Photoshop. Hohnoes.
Time to start making the design, I guess.orz
At least on Facebook. At least on my blogs. At least on my purchases. At least on the way I dress. At least on everything. My whole family is still in a dark mood, and it’s insensitive for me to be living on normally. I hate to admit it, but yes, I’m emotionally devoid again. Instead, things that are trivial compared to the issue at hand are badgering me. Another thing I don’t want to admit is that I hate family gatherings again. I feel so out of place. It’s so hard to not have your own age group. I remember complaining to a friend, who thankfully called me at that time, that even though I guess they’re not intending to, I usually feel as if there’s a communication gap that I can’t break through. Oh poo. Poor me. So I bought a mini sketchpad, to have something to do at the wake. It’s an attempt to do better at sketching too. My latest drawing attempts:
are kind of okay if I was younger, I guess, but are reminders that I’m not improving at all. Gahd, I badly want to take pictures of my mini sketchpad and my new doodles, but I can’t find our digicam.:| I could scan ‘em, but I hate ‘em wires. I have a hypothesis I draw better on paper than on tablet.
Planning to buy soon:
- Flash drive
- Contact lens
- New deodorant (TMI lololololol)
- Classy lighter (for a gift)
- Cellphone (mine just malfunctioned again—this time with no hope of fixing itself)
To do:
- ChE 156 Discussion and calculations
- ChE 156 PowerPoint presentation
- ENG 10 topics (ask Mama to give me some. Force it out of her. Hehe. Tonight, because my class here is tomorrow)
- Find out which philosopher are we on SOSC2, then read about him
Just finished:
- Ibitsu manga
- Shiki (TV) anime
- Kuragehime anime
Now, I don’t know what to watch. I don’t religiously watch the other anime on my watchlist… and since my phone’s LCD malfunctioned again, I don’t know at what episodes or chapters I’m already at. So much fail.
And our group meeting was just moved to 5PM. Just G-R-E-A-T. Just W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L.
So many good vibes in this post.
I need a drink. Tanduay Ice prz.
