See the difference?







Yeah, I know. It's just a vector drawing. But hey! It took me a long time to do this thing. I actually have a lot more respect for those artists who made A Scanner Darkly. It takes a lot of patience and layers to do this.

Hmm...now let's see. What can I animate next?

My Sight is Almost Overconstruct

Wheeeww!! I never thought I'd be able to do it, but I have. Here it is, right here for your viewing pleasure...like I'm sure you get a lot of pleasure from viewing it...my blog. I wanted a more artsy-fartsy, sketchy, charcoal and pencil theme. I went ahead and designed a few things such as the banner, the headers and dividers. As you can probably already tell, the banner was taken in Toronto. I wanted to capture an image that most people would recognize. It was originally taken in colour and I just went ahead and changed the elements. In any case, I think it's pretty nifty.

Now, my site is really far from done. I have yet to fully dissect CSS. I wanted to add a few more things in here. I know some people add a little chat window to keep in touch with friends and all. I guess it serves as a "dynamic guestbook" of some sort which is cool and all. I might add it. I was also thinking of adding a simple if-you're-bored-click-here kinda game. Hmm...maybe something like, Super Mario Bros. or better yet...spank the monkey!! hehehehe In any case, there will be some if not major, then minor changes in the next week or so.

Hey, if you got any ideas, let me know.

Laterz!!

Ok. So I've been trying to find other ways to keep myself occupied. Lately, I've been reading up on some Manga or Japanime and how they're drawn. Pretty interesting I must say. It's quite refreshing to actually do something that I haven't done in a long time. See, before I became an IT person, I was more into graphics and animation. My first career choice was to actually become graphics artist or 3D animator. Unfortunately, there were some complications.

Anywayz, back to my forgotten skills. Yeah...it's been a long time and I'm sure my chicken scratches can't get me into Disney or Pixar for that fact. But what the heck right? I might as well start polishing up on something that I used to love. So here it is. A manga representation of yours truly.




Yeah, I know. It's not even considered amateur work. LOL!!

I'm 28. Yay, great...whoopdeedoo!

So today's my birthday. Honestly, I should be celebrating it. Maybe go out with some friends, eat, have a few bottles, get shit faced drunk and whatnot. This is how it normally goes during birthdays for people over 20. I celebrated my last birthday by going out with friends and family. We ate, we drank, we talked and it was fun. This year, I don't know. I just don't feel it anymore. I'm depressed. This was supposed to be the year it was going to happen for me. This was the year that I was supposed to get married or at least be engaged to someone. This was the year that I was expecting for the "big bang" in my life. It just didn't happen and it isn't going to happen. I'm tending to a wound that's still healing and picking up the pieces where they were left off. It'd be a while...

Don't get me wrong, career wise, I'm very happy. I've landed an awesome job. It pays uber times more than what I was getting back in the Philippines. I get to travel, I get a laptop, free cellphone plan and free healthclub. But how good is the job if you can't be "happy"? I'm happy for my ex that she found someone. She's content and happy because she's got what she's been longing for. I just wasn't the right person I guess. Yeah, we've heard this story before and the wheels on the bus go round and round. But seriously, she and the women before her have what they want. I don't. Due to the fact, I've stopped wishing, stopped hoping and stopped praying about ever getting back with her. If I did, it'd kill me. Just the thought really just nails me deeper into the ground. Honestly, it's no longer in my hands. I'm "just" ok as a friend and to be at least part of her world. But how about me? That's 4 downed relationships and I'm not getting any younger. I hate being alone. All I pray for now is a little happiness and some peace.

Sigh...misery does love company.

Here's to a great 28th year. Cheers...
