How Indie Am I? *sigh*

Posted under My Life

You Are 50% Indie


You’re pretty indie, but you don’t make a fuss letting everyone know.

You just do what you like. You enjoy many types of things - from trendy to bizarre.

How Indie Are You?

That is kind of safe, don’t you think? 50% is not a percentage that I would most likely to understand or get a clear view of how Indie I am in a way. lol.

I love this quiz tho, I was  curious about this. This reminds me of my Indian friend. It’s so sad that we haven’t talked in a while because she is so busy. She’ll be leaving her country to go to another country and study. I am so happy for her that she’ll be able to do what she likes. But these things would only mean she’ll be busy and won’t have much time to chat or spend time over the net. I do miss her so much! She’s like a sister to me. My partner in crime! or a better half as how she calls it. hehe

Honestly, it threatens me that she’s getting closer to some of our common friends. It always threatens me when my friends do that. But as much as it bothers me, I don’t want to make it an issue because I know, this is just a part of me being unrealistic and I know that I’m over reacting. But I can’t help it most of the times, I wish we could talk soon. I wish we could be like what we used to be. I wish that I am so wrong.

So many wishes but all I have in me is her word. I hold on to it that she’ll always be there and I’ll always be her best friend. Her better half. It is so miserable.  I miss her.

Handwriting

Posted under My Life

What Your Handwriting Says About You


You are a fairly energetic person. You know how do pace yourself, and you deal well with stress.
You are somewhat outgoing, but you’re not a natural extrovert. You think first before you act. You tend to be independent, rational, and logical.

You are very detail oriented and meticulous. You are a careful thinker and a true intellectual.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you’re not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are a free thinker. You are unique, open minded, and artistic. You don’t care what other people think.

You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous.

What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?

Some of these things are actually true, I’m quite surprise. But I do think that this one goes overboard on sugar coating the statement, I might get a big head if I hold on to these. lol

Career Type

Posted under My Life

Your Career Type: Artistic


You are expressive, original, and independent.

Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art.You would make an excellent:

Actor - Art Teacher - Book Editor

Clothes Designer - Comedian - Composer

Dancer - DJ - Graphic Designer

Illustrator - Musician - Sculptor

The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary.

What’s Your Ideal Career?

lol, I do not agree much on the possibility of being a dancer nor a musician. I cannot relate myself to music so to say. I listen to music but I do not have certain genre’s that I would rather listen to anytime.  I guess I’m just a music appreciator rather than a musician.

I totally like the careers that relate to art because all those things are what I want to do all my life. Photography is missing on the list though. I want to do that soon. hehe

Another Lazy Day

Posted under My Life

Yeah, you read it right. Another lazy day for me on a Wednesday! Well I started the day quite early, bout 7am in the morning,  just because it seems like all the people in the house (3, bro, sister, maid) is all up early and is busy preparing for the day! I can’t seem to just lay there because all the buzzing and sshhzzing (what’s that word again? lol) is creeping in my ear and I am wide awake as much as I hate it. Plus the sound of the radio coming from the neighbor ain’t helping me that much. Lucky me eh? I had a morning headache and it was fun! *sarcasm*

Later that morning I had a nap on the sofa and it was quite good I must say. Although my puppy is bugging the life out of me because she wants to lay on the pillows lol and she’s moving here and there! But my forty winks didn’t last that long because I felt hot! Darn, today its just hot, I woke up and I had to use the help of the air-condition because I can’t stand the heat. My nose tends to bleed when its too hot.

And then afternoon I had a chat with Ruby and I did all my PTC clicking. After talking to her, I planned to do some layouts but unfortunately my cousin drop by the house with some CD’s. lol yeah, we just played it and sat there and do all the nonsense. haha.

At dinner time, I am stuck in front of the TV watching. At exactly 8pm, I watched the American Idol on channel 48. I missed the 6pm live telecast.. lol, I wonder what am I doin that time, maybe daydreaming. haha… After watching it, I watched the replay on a local channel. lol I’m a nutter but I just love the show. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode. Nothing special tho, just another audition episode.

and right now, almost 12mn. I haven’t done anything yet. haha, And I guess I’m heading off to bed this early. I’m still sick and I can use some rest! wee! that’s all for my blah’s! crazerz. take care y’all!

Awful Reality

Posted under My Life

I am sick and it’s very excruciating. I hate this feeling actually but I am trying to act like I am not feeling anything. Not because I’m a superwoman wanna be but because I do have a lot of responsibilities around me. I am obliged to take care of things around this house. I am living with the maid and my little brother (cousin) here. My sister is out but she goes here from time to time.

Now, with just a snap of a finger, I had to be responsible and made decisions daily. I had to do the grocery. I had to take care of my little bro’s school requirement and I had to check the bills and make sure to pay them on time. I had to manage my mom’s business, do banking transaction and all of that!!!

whew! Those are all new to me. I used to being just at home. Doing my own thing, being lazy and all. But now I have this enormous (at least for me) responsibilities that I have to attend to. Somehow, I take it as advantage but I can’t help when reality strikes me at times. It still overwhelms me in a sudden rush.

Right now, my comfort zone would be the internet. Being in front of my laptop and doing endless photoshop. Talking to friends or just browsing the internet and reading new information.

Well enough with all of my blah’s! haha, I still have to go to the grocery and fill in the fridge. lol.

Laterz!

What Age do you Act?

Posted under My Life

This one is fun! I’ve been tagged by pinaymommy, it’s like a personality test and I am so eager to find out what age do I happen to act.

here’s the result:


You Act Like You Are 28 Years Old


You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel like an adult, and you’re optimistic about life.
You feel excited about what’s to come… love, work, and new experiences.You’re still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up.The world is full of possibilities, and you can’t wait to explore many of them.

What Age Do You Act?

Well I do hope the picture is a girl though. haha, but it was fun. I like what is written there and its a little similar of what do I have in mind. btw, I am only 21 (FYI). What age do you act?

Blissful Morning

Posted under My Life

I am very happy today. I woke up quite early than I expected. And as strange as it is, I am in a good mood. Nothing have happened big time for me to be so happy but I guess I’m feeling it quite naturally.

I have a lot of plans today. Planning to do some layouts that I will be offering for my upcoming website. It is a good thing to take advantage of this mood sometimes. I just hope that my creativity will really flow, as in flow the way I like it. I want to have a lot of outputs today. I want to finish a lot of layouts.

So we’ll see and I’ll be back a bit later to post some of my outputs. cool! ciao!

Lohan Banner and Pinay Mommies Badge

Posted under My Life

Okay, today I’m really feeling artistic and so I made 2 graphics.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

The first one is requested by Ruby (PinayMommy) - a friend and also a blogger. She asked me to make a badge for Pinay Mommies. It wasn’t that hard to think of a concept for this one because it focuses only with filipina mothers. What I planned was to make a shape that will represent a mother figure that is holding her baby. Honestly, I was not that lucky with the shape of the baby. lol. I also made it pink and put a flower and some petals to represent femininity. Lastly, I put red and blue touch to it to represent the colors of the Philippine Flag.

 

The second, I made a banner for a competition on a forum that I happened to be a member. I was looking for different pictures awhile ago and I end up using Lindsay’s picture. No, I am not a fan nor I adore her. I just want to work on beautiful pictures and Lindsay got this beautiful face.

 

The way I did this banner is very simple. I just blended the pictures together, made some overlays with black color. Did some effects on the text and the lines and then put some border to it. I actually like the finished product, It’s simple and it’s green.

 

sorry, the banner have a watermark because I’m planning to put it on a website soon.
