A Crash Course in Layouting

Though I am not a pro into this stuffs.. I'd like to share to you my knowledge about layout chuvaness.

I consider 10 things in layouting (magazine, newspaper and other stuffs)

1. Content
2. Color Scheme
3. Balance
4. Organization
5. Theme
6. Emphasis
7. Readability
8. Uniformity and Consistency
9. Attention-grabber
10. Originality

Content- before doing the actual layouting stuff, you should first have a overview of your content and conceptualize everything.. I mean everything, from top to bottom, left to right and consider the materials to be used when printing.

Color Scheme- of course, you are allowed to play with colors.. it's your layout anyway. But you should consider the coordination of colors so it will look pleasing to the eyes of your readers. Try looking for online color schemes or perhaps buy a book about that.. it's helpful.

Balance- most layouts contains text and pictures.. do not just paste and paste your "vainest" picture in your layout. You should weigh in your eyes if there's too much picture in the left or in the right.. it should be equal. Make sure it won't look heavy in one side and plain on the other.

Organization- this is very important! Your contents (pictures, text, etc) should be well-organized so you won't be confusing your readers. If there is a photo on a certain article, place it near the article and always put captions to avoid confusions.

Theme- consider the theme of your layout.. especially in magazines. Do not make your own and make a layout that's way too far from your theme or concept. You'll ruin the outcome. (Ex. Never make a layout about HIV Virus when you're talking about SARS.)

Emphasis- this too is very important. You should determine your focal point.. Pin-point what the whole layout is all about. Every reader should co-relate the layout and the article.. In short, the layout and the contents must go together. Ask yourself: "What are you trying to emphasize in this layout?"

Readablity- of course! You're making this layout for your readers. Use a type face (font) that's readable enough, make the size big enough for them to read. Consider your readers' age bracket. Ex: If you think you're making a layout for the oldies, then make the font bigger.. vice versa.

Uniformity & Consistency- Still in type face stuff.. it should be consistent. If you've used TNR (Times New Roman) in your body, use it in others too.. so it'll be all uniform. The simpler the better. It must look neat.

Attention-Grabber- here's a question: if you're a reader of a certain magazine or newspaper.. where do you focus your attention first? In the layout or the article? Your layout should attract the reader's attention.. so you're article will look more interesting.

• Crappy layout + Very good article= Readers won't read it instantly.
• Good layout + Crappy Article= Readers will consider reading it first.
• Good layoaut + Very good article= No doubt, your readers will surely love it.

and lastly,
Originality- this is very important for a layout artist.. you should have originality. You're an artist.. you have lots of ideas in mind. DO NOT COPY OTHER'S WORKS. Try to produce your own idea.. there's nothing wrong in using other's work as a reference.. but making an ACTUAL CARBON COPY OF THEIR LAYOUTS is far from referring on other's ideas anymore. It's PLAGIARISM. Be careful, you might be sent to jail for that.

So that's it.. My little knowledge about layouting. I hope it has helped you in your layouting jobs. ^_^

See? It's Easy to Fake A Smile =)

"Never be deceived by someone's smile.. "

This night, something terrible happened. Terrible in a way that it made me burst out into tears. I hate them.. at the moment, they're the last person I'll be with. While having dinner, my aunt reminded me about my frequent overnight stays here in the office (Helloo!! I've been doing this since July.. you're not here most of the time that's why you're not used to it!). I just remained silent throughout the dinner.. I just don't want to utter any words as possible. I was just too hurt to speak.. I hated them.. I hate them all.

I thought they will be the first one to understand that art is my passion.. I love what I'm doing, and being a part of this publication made me seen my worth. They have no idea how much I'm willing to go through just to stay in this pub.. and then what? They'll ask me to quit because they just wanted to? Get lost.

Then I remembered.. why am I doing this.. not for myself, but I am doing this for them. This is the only way I know to make them feel proud of me.. I wanted them to see my real talent, my passion for art. Hey beloved family, in case you don't know.. I LOVE ART, and you've got nothing to do with it.. deal with it. I'm an artist.. maybe, just maybe I got this from my biological father. Well thanks to him, at least I know how to appreciate myself and my capabilities. While you were so busy killing me emotionally.

So are you happy now? Wait.. don't rejoice yet. Because for the first time in our family's history, I will be your worst blacksheep. I won't just nod and say yes to whatever you want.. I have a mind of my own. Maybe you're right, I'm like my biological father.. I'm a Pampangueña.. just like Ronnie De Vera Sanchez. Meet your worst niece, Judy Rose Lauron Sayson Sanchez. (I should've carried my biological dad's name.. it sounds cool.)

I hope tomorrow, when I wake up.. you'll be just a dream.. a very very ugly dream. Because I don't want to completely hate you, and I don't want to hate my existence either.

Crappy Artwork Number Three

"Music is Everything"

Another masterpiece. February 25, 2011.

Simple Photo Editing

"Cheerity"

My latest work.. requested by my friend, Manang Cherai.

Model: Cheery Mae Degabi

That's It.. I've Done The Same Mistake TWICE!

Okay that was it. Been stupid for the second time. I believe I just made the most stupid decision in my life. I should've had more self control.. I should have not clicked that damn chat box. I should be sleeping right now instead of getting hurt for the second time.. but yeah, I guess I haven't learned much from my past experience.. I'm too dumb to not notice. The signs are too obvious.. it's well-presented on my face. Yes Judy, you're dumb.. you're stupid. You shouldn't have made that move.. you should've lived with your conclusions.. that way, you can think of stuffs the way you wanted it to be.. But you're too hard headed, you won't even listen to your own instincts.. instead of closing this laptop, you insisted to click on that chat box.. so what did you get? A slap on the other side of your face.. now it's even. The other day, a slap on the left.. now on the right. Don't wait for him to give you a huge punch on your face for being so stupid.

Move on.. you gotta love yourself a little more.. Think of what might happen before jumping into another decision.. so you won't give yourself a hard time. Think twice before making stupid decisions in life. Okay?

Now Playing: Hate That I Love You

Can I Have Him?

Please? Yes, I'm scrounging.
He's the main reason why my heart's recuperating.
You know that it has been crushed into pieces
Now, through him I'm putting it back to its places.

His smile, his laughters, his mind-cracking lines
His facade, his presence are the obvious signs.
I wanted to open my heart again
To someone who can be there with me 'til the end.

I know that there's no guarantee
That in the end, it'll be him and me.
But for now, I ask thee..
Can I have him, for free?

~a poem made at around 3:38 AM. argh. I can't sleep. T_T

I know it sounds like a piece of junk.. but honestly, that's what I'm feeling right now. I wanted to be with someone I like.. but it's too impossible knowing another party would be there to hinder me. Deep in my heart, I have a silent wish.. that even just for a day we'll be just like this. No other party, just you and me.. we'll live a day with full of memories for me to cherish.

If only that's possible. Sigh. Please...

In Addition to My Crappy Artworks

Thiss gurl. :)

Crappy Artwork as of February 24, 2011. There'll be mooore!

A Touch of Art

My latest artwork. Used photoshop for this stuff.

While back reading at my tumblr dashboard this afternoon, I saw a poster that's somewhat similar to this. So I decided to make one for myself. Though it's not that cool as the ones I saw because I made it for just like ten to fifteen minutes. Anyways, I'm happy with the outcome.. so I'll be making tons of this stuff soon. :)

And by soon I mean now:

Now it's pink.. this one too, is Photoshopped by meeh.

I will learn how to vector images.. project for the month. I love art, I simply do.

So I Guess that's Goodbye..

or was that Get Lost?

I shouldn't have made that move in the first place. All I wanted was to have a decent conversation with him [superman].. but yeah, it didn't turn out right, or am I jumping into conclusions once again?

Hey, I know I don't have a place in your heart. For once, I'll take that as a big slap on my face. Now I'm wide awake.. I've realized that this is leading to nowhere. This love or whatever it is.. is pointless. It's one-sided, I know that from the very start. But can I at least save the friendship? Because you've been one of my very good friends so far. You're a person with great personality. I really hope we'll be good friends after this.

I promise, I'll get over you. It's now or never.. Goodbye Superman. I'm looking forward to the day where I can say, I loved you. Thank You.

The World at its Worst

This afternoon, I was bothered with the news I've read from my Tumblr dash. The current situation in Libya made me think of some stuffs. Why is this happening to the Libya right now? Not just Libya.. but also other countries.. If you're still unaware of the current happenings around the world, allow me to give you a hint:

• There’s a massacre going on in Libya right now. They’re tricking, then shooting protesters and raping women. Pray for them.

• Today a 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand. Lives have been lost and the damage is extensive. 

• More than 80 killings in Ciudad Juarez - Mexico, over 3 days. 

• Bahrain’s army deliberately kills peaceful protesters (thanks to juansie.tumblr for informing) 

• Egypt and Tunisia have both set up field hospitals on their Libyan borders.

See? The world is not in a peaceful situation right now.. or should I say, it had never been into a peaceful situation at all. Is the world coming to an end? What are we gonna do in order to stop this things from happening? We need action not from the government or from those who have higher positions in the society.. we need to act as a concerned human being. Let's pray for these countries.. let's pray for a better world. God hears our heart's desires. Let's have faith in Him.

Let's heal the world.

You maybe laughing at me while reading this.. but this is reality. Face it.. do your part instead of laughing your ass off. ~ciao!

When You Came Along

I was alone, I thought I was no one
You came along, those thoughts were gone
You made me smile, you made me laugh
You kiss away all the stress when my day is tough
You looked at me, I looked at you
Then that’s the time you told me, “I Love You”.

I was speechless, I didn’t know how I’d react
This feeling’s new, I was struck
You said you’ll wait, but no need to
Co’z I’m pretty sure, I Love You too
It’s kinda weird, I’m not alone anymore
It’s far from how I envisioned myself before

And now, it’s you and I
Together we’ll fight
Let’s make this work, I now it’s quite hard
But there’s the two of us, nothing can break us apart
Not until one of us gives up
Not until one tells the other to stop

Disclaimer: This is an original poem by Judy Rose Sayson

For the Man Who Once Had My Heart

I remember someone told me years ago
That you’re a man who cares a lot about your ego
You were never concerned at what others might feel
As long as it satisfies you, you date lie you’ll kill.

But behind that egoistic smile,
Is the man who makes life so much worthwhile
They never bother to see the real side of you
They’ve never seen you cry when you’re feeling down and blue

You’re a man with a battered heart
People you love manage to tear it apart
Now, you’re crying in my shoulder
You feel alone, you feel you’re getting older

Then one day, you decided to stop
You aimed to make it to the top
You stopped breaking hearts
You fixed your own to make a brand new start

“I’m ready to love again”, you told me once
Then something bothered me when you gave me that glance
At first I felt uneasy
But it was all gone by the time you kissed me

This feeling’s new,
and so are you.
You asked me if I Love You,
Yes, I do.

My Bucket List

We all have desires in life that we wish to accomplish in the future.. I'm no different to those others who wanted to do something memorable for the rest of my life.. here are some:

• Try Risky Adventures/ Extreme Sports
-for years I've been telling my bestfriend that I will try to indulge myself in this kind of sports. Like, bungee jumping, sky diving, kayaking and many more.. because of one thing: Adventure. I wanted to try these stuffs in order for me to conquer my fear and anxieties. Well, there's no harm in trying right? As long as it's safe. :)
• Help a Super Dooper Complete Stranger
  -I'm actually inspired by the movie, The Bucket List.. second to his list, he wanted to help a complete stranger.. and so do I. I wanted to help them in any way I could if they are deserving enough. I don't want to be recognized as the "girl who has a soft heart" but instead, I wanted to share what I have to those who are less fortunate.
• See the World-Paris and Greece are my ultimate dream destination..

This! This is the reason why I wanted to go to Paris. The Eiffel Tower. You may have heard it a thousand times from other people.. but for me, this one's the most romantic place. I would love to go here with someone special, and with my bestfriend. I wanted to see the wonderful scenery of Paris during the day and the night. Paris, je t'aime.

Blame the gods and goddesses for making this place so wonderful. I was caught by this place while watching the movie, My Life in Ruins. Heaven in Greece.

LEGO BLOCKS brought to Real Life!! I like this place!! So much.. from the movie, For the First Time and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.. This place is soooo beautiful.

• Get drunk and Wasted
  -I know it may sound crazy and wild.. but hey, it's my life. I wanted to see myself so wasted that I couldn't even stand and go home.. BUT as long as I'm with my most TRUSTED friends. I'm not going to risk my precious life being with low-life jerks. Haha.
  
• Marry the Guy I'm Willing to Spend the Rest of My Life With
  -For now, he remains a Mystery.. but I'm positive that one day, God will make a way for both of us..

~Thasss all folks. :)

The Safest Wall

The Namsan Tower "Locks of Love" located in South Korea was said to be the "Safest Wall".. Young couples show their love for each other by locking a pair of padlocks to the fence, and throwing the keys over the edge. By doing this, they are showing their undying commitment towards each other. Sounds sweet, eh?


To tell you honestly, if ever I find the man whom I think is the right one for me, I really want us to go there and do the same stuff.. Though it may sound cheesy and corny, but I think it's quite romantic. Have I ever mentioned that before? That I am a hopeless romantic.. so yeah, no wonder.. I'm hopeless. Haha. :)


Mr. Whoever You Are, I'll be waiting for You.. I hope to see you soon.

That Nagging Voice

Have you ever been nagged by someone and all you can do is sit in one corner.. listen to her endless rants and curse her silently in your mind?

Oh cool, at least I'm not alone. Just now, I wanted to run away from home, again. What's the use of living in a big house when at all times, a monster's presence won't quit nagging you? Her dagger-like eyes and her sword-bearing mouth are my worst nightmares each and everyday of my existence. She never failed to irritate the hell out of me. That's why, if given a chance to not go home, I usually would grab it.

Her ill-attitude wrecked my own understanding of the word, "Home". Every time I go home, I don't feel the welcoming vibes, instead it's the hateful feeling I have for her... kept for years now. Honestly, I don't want to hate her because somehow, we share the same blood and the same name. But she had pushed me to my limits.. and I'm pissed, sick and so tired of it. I want space, I wanted to get away from here.. and live in a place where she does not exist. She is nothing but a nuisance.. a thorn in my chest. I'd rather not see her than live with her and hate her even more.. because the last thing I wanted to happen is that one day, my respect for her will be gone and be replaced by hate and anger.

AAAHHH!! Quit nagging me!

You were once my favorite aunt.. but now, I don't even know.

WSS [Wrong Spelling Syndrome]

Silly Words by some of the Spectres:

• Shuckie- a chocolate milk drink (chuckie).
• Seesion- typo error for session.
• Palstar- "plastar" (ilonggo term for placement)
• Courtisy- "courtesy"

After suffering from those eardrums-cracking LSS.. here comes the mind-breaking WSS.

PS Perhaps we should enroll ourselves into special spelling class. BD

MY BESTFRIEND who cooks very yummy fried rice ^_^

I just noticed that I haven't introduced my bestfriend to you yet. Well I guess now's the perfect time for you to get to know her. We've been friends since we were in Junior High School- it's almost 3 years now. Her name is Irene Severino. Get it? I-R-E-N-E.

Actually I'm at her house as of the moment. Time check: 4AM. Yess, the Zombie bestfriends are still awake and very much ready to eat your time.. not your brainss. ewe.. we're not friggin' cannibals. We're the type of Zombies that obviously has taste. LOLWTF.

Anyways, Irene is someone who you can laugh and cry with.. even at the most crazy moment of your life. She'll be there to act crazy just so you won't feel alone. ZOMG. Before I forget, she's a one hell KPOP Fan Girl.. one thing that I'm not. I guess, opposites do really attract. Well I'm pretty, shes FUGGGLYY. LOLJK. :) We're both pretty in our own ways okay.

Enough of this endless rant. ^_^

CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE aka FIRST LOVE

A Thai Movie starring Mario Maurer as P'Shone and Baifern as P'Nam.


Lately, I was quite caught by Asian dramas and movies (Korean, Taiwanese and Thai as of the moment). And oh yeah, I'm no different to those girls who go gaga over this cute and handsome Thai actor, Mario Maurer.

First Love Movie Poster

Weeks ago, my best friend kept on telling me to watch this movie because this actually made her cry.. so I was just like, okay.. next time. Because I hate waiting for the friggin' vids to buffer.But opportunity knocked on my door, when a fellow spectre told me that she downloaded the whole movie. So I was like, Okay, let's watch.


They actually started out looking like this:

P'Shone and P'Nam during 1st Year in HS

Highschool romance that most of us teenagers can relate with.

P'Shone and P'Nam attended the same high school. P'Nam has been in love with P'Shone since their first year in high school. Then later on, P'Nam decided to change for the love of her life. She started changing her looks.. i mean improved her physical appearance. "Ugly duckling no more." Then she joined the drama club when she saw P'Shone was also a part of the club. Imagine how P'Nam looks like after she blooms..

P'Nam Before                               P'Nam After
From this dark-skinned girl to this pretty young lady!
What a transformation!! :)

She did all this just for P'Shone!!

Then comes the sad part:

The Heartbreaking Scene

It was during Senior Highschool when Nam finally decided to tell Shone what she really felt. It was days before Senior Year ends when she finally got the courage to face the man she love. But like other stories, it isn't the right timing. Because, Shone was already committed to P'Pin. This is the scene when Nam finally realizes that everything was too late for both of them. </3

And every typical love story deserves a happy ending:

P'Nam and P'Shone after 9 years

Nine years after, P'Nam came back from the US. She is now a famous Fashion designer in New York while P'Shone is a professional photographer. They once again saw each other in the talk show which brought so much memories to both of them.. and eventually led into a happily ever after sorry.

I wish for a part 2.

TIME FOR CHANGE

Me with my friend and co-spectre, Katrina
during the Fellowship Night.
I actually made this photo as my
profile picture in Facebook.

CHANGES- these are some of the things that we should embrace in life. Whether we like it or not, we need to Change (for the better) in order for us to experience much more adventures in life. We change because there is a need for us to grow up. We change because something happened that is not worth remembering and in order for you to totally forget about that stuff, we "edit" the usual and "revise" it. We change because we need to.. for if we don't, we'll end up sulking at one corner regretting the things that we should have done before.

Lately, I've been trying to deal with this word. After bitters' day, the word Change has actually brought so much impact into my daily life. Now, I need to deal with this strange feeling I have [the one that involves my Mr. DreamBoy].. then, I have to start living life without the usual sight of him [superman]. I admit that I'll miss him.. in fact, I already miss him right now. But the people in the higher hierarchy has already made their final say: kick him out.

It was just now that everything sinked in within my system. Now, I can feel much more emptiness at the same time fondness (weird, eh? IKR?). I know, I sound stupid at the moment. But that's how I actually feel right now. I miss him.. at the same time, I'm starting to like someone better.

Is it really possible for a person to like two other people at the same time?
In order for you to move on, you need to Change some things in your life.

Zombie Land

Now we're back in Zombie Land.. this is the first time in the year 2011. I miss my co-zombies or zombiemates, err.. whatever it is. Let me tell you the best part of having overnight/layout sessions. You somehow get away from home.. I get to drink my favorite chocolate milk drink, Chuckie.. and lots of foods [if we have enough budget], and oh.. I forgot to mention the Last Song Syndrome thingy... It's okay if the song was not Taylor Swift's, but if it is.. then prepare yourself for you'll be having some swollen eardrums. On the other hand, the bad thing about having layouts sessions is: you won't be able to have enough sleep and you'll end up having those dark eyebags.. and viola! you're a full-grown Zombie!!

But hey, we are the type of Zombies that doesn't crave for your brains.. feed us with Chuckie and we're good with it. ^_^

Currently in Zombie Land (The Spectrum Office).

Keep me posted, Zombies.

Valentines aka Bitters' Day

HAPPY VELENTINES. Fail. XD

Yesterday was obviously February 14, 2011 or also known as, Valentines Day.. for us singles, we called it as Bitters' Day. We actually have no plans for Vday but during the last minute, all (I mean the bitters) agreed to go out and have pizza for merienda. We went to greenwich and had pizza, our way of celebrating Bitters' Day.

Later that night, Me and my bestfriend went out for dinner. We dine at Max's restaurant (Located at SM Bacolod).. though we haven't watched a movie as originally planned, we still had a great Vday celebration. That's it.. we just ate, and went to the grocery to buy some ingredients for her practicum the day after (which is obviously today Feb. 15).

Vday has proven me one thing.. it's okay if you're single as long as your friends are there to accompany you and double the fun and significance of Feb. 14.

I love Bitters' Day. ^_^

Thank You ^_^

This past few days, I realized that I haven't thank someone since January 1, 2011. :) Or at least thank them from the bottom of my heart. Saying thank you when you don't actually mean it is useless. It should go with sincerity and appreciation. So here it is, THANK YOU.. though it's a little too late, I still want to thank you. It's from the bottom of my heart.

What I Had For Dinner

This!! This is the exact part I had.

Actually I had a late dinner.. 10 PM (that's not the usual dinner time right?) Anyways, Cherai and I went to Jollibee Lasalle to dine out for we are starving.. obviously. Thank God that the nearest fastfood chain is still open. So yeah, I ordered one piece chicken and upgraded my drink into large coke. Arghh. I'm so hungry, but I still have to wait for friggin' 20 minutes. 20 minutes seems like forever. Finally, are orders were delivered. I can't imagine how I finished my food in less than 10 minutes. Was it because I'm too hungry? Or I was carried away by our conversation? Either way, I don't know.

Why are we even paying eighty six pesos for a chicken and rice meal with softdrinks? Wherein we can buy that for less than fifty pesos? What are we paying for? Is it the food or the name, Jollibee? If we request to upgrade our drinks, we need to give an aditional payment of fifteen pesos where in fact, they were just adding tiny ounces of softdrinks.. that will never reach fifteen pesos! Mind you, an eight-ounce bottle of coke costs ten pesos or eleven. So they should be adding more than eight ounces of softdrinks when I'm asking for an upgrade.

Over-pricing is the game of most businessmen. Rich or poor, they'll cost you twice the exact amount.

Digital Doodle? O_o

I just wanna share my latest masterpiece.. though not too much effort was actually given in this artwork. The image looks crappy, got it from FB.. too lazy to look for some decent pic. :) So yeah, that's it.

Insert Title Here (I can't think of a better title ^_^)

copyright Judy Rose Sayson

Do you love him?

Honestly, I don't know how to answer this question. If someone asks me directly if I love him, I usually say.. "How would you actually know that you're in love with that person?" Someone told me, if you are in love you always think of that person and you care about him. I always think about him, and I really really care for him. Though it's not that obvious.

Behind that "Superman" codename, is the guy named Fiel. A cool-dude who's been in love with his camera for a long time now. I had my first encounter with him during our team building activity. He is the kind of guy who's willing to make fun of himself just to make the rest happy. I love his humor, his passion and everything. But I don't really know why I was drawn to him.. I don't think it's his looks.. or his talent.. or his humor.. but maybe... just maybe, it's because of that one moment when we had a serious conversation through chat (I don't want to elaborate). During that time, I've seen him in a broader perspective, he's no longer the happy-go-lucky guy.. in short, he's a grown-up man.

This evening, I am bothered by one question. Should I tell him what I feel? I don't know.. Maybe in time.. when all things are set.. when I'm ready for the consequences. But in case he reads this, Thank you for making it a lot easier. :)

My Other Side

A doodle I made for Katrina.

Silly Realizations

This is just a stupid thought I guess. Just one random idea. So, I just realized that I've been admiring lots of guys lately.. and by lots I mean three. Yes, three. Let me tell you a little about them..

1. Superman- I don't have an idea why I even gave him that "codename". Maybe because of one of my artworks. Anyways, he's a guy with humor, height and moreno complexion. He's someone you'd fall for without even knowing the main reason why.. or without having any clue why I'm attracted or drawn to him. He is an artist (I just don't wanna go into further details. okay?).
2. Mr. Dream Boy- Yeah, actually I got a crush on him during my first month in college.. But that didn't last anyhow. Just recently when I had a dream it's about him and me (try to back read so you'll understand it). I don't know. That dream has awaken a strange feeling I've never felt before. But one thing I admire about him was his passion. He writes a lot.. and I was inlove with his works. ♥
3. Mr. I-was-actually-drawn-to-him-the-first-time-I-saw-him- (now Mr. Bright Side) I think he's cute and talented too. He writes, he's artistic, he sings and dance.. Package deal. 

If there's one common thing about them that I can distinguish was the HEIGHT. Well I do have a thing for tall people Yey!

--Okay. Stop this stupidity!!

Valentines

Get rid of that sad face
and be happy this
Valentines

A day for lovers no more.


At this very moment most people cram for they don't have their dates.. especially the singles. Most of their sentiments were, "I don't want to spend Valentines day alone", "Valentines won't be valentines if you don't have a date", and worst "You're not allowed to go out on Valentines if you don't have a date". Wait.. are there even rules imposed for valentines day? I mean, what you're saying are all trash talks. Valentines day is for everyone.. for the single people out there, for those who are in a relationship right now.. as long as you're in love and feeling like celebrating Valentines, you are free to do so.

One last thing, Valentines day is a commemoration of St. Valentine's feast (a Christian martyr).

To all the singles out there who's celebrating Valentines alone.. chin up, and be proud of it. Let's just say, We Celebrate Valentines Independently. =)

The Azkals Fever

Azkals- Philippines Football Team

Yes.. The football team phenomenon that most girls are going gaga all over.. not just girls, but guys too. Okay, what do they have in the first place? I know some of them are hot, I never questioned that. I admire them for their macho looks and for representing the Philippines in the sports industry. That's it. I'm not a football fanatic, in fact I don't even know a single thing about the game except for the word, "GOAL".

You see, they're now in Bacolod for a football match with Mongolia. Yesterday, they visited our school. Most students were inside the coliseum instead of attending their classes. I heard a crowd cheering.. then minutes after, my facebook and twitter dash were full of Azkal stuffs.. like, how hot they are, how they were starstruck upon seeing those football boys. People around me were talking about them, and I'm just like.. Okay you've seen the Azkals now what? Let's not be in the field for they're gwapo.. let's watch the game to support the Philippines (not the other way around).

Team Azkals, better win this match.. do not disappoint your fans. Or else, it won't be worth their efforts.

PS My friend even faked his own PRESS id just to have close coverage of their practices.

That Strange Dream

So yeah, this morning I woke up having that strange feeling towards that certain person that I've known for quite a long time now. Actually we are in the same org, but we are never close. We just had that casual conversations and simple hi's and hellos. That's it.

For me, he's like a big brother.. though are age gap is just a year or two. He's someone I really respect and I feel intimidated every time I talk to him. So here's about my dream:

We were inside a ship.. me and my friends. Then the crew were asking us to go back to our

cabins for there are monsters around the area (weird, eh?).

---fast forward---

After that "scary" incident, he came rushing towards me and hugged me tight..

the kind of hug wherein I feel secured. His scent was so addicting..

and in his arms, I feel no one can hurt me.

So that's it, that was my dream. It's strange, it's something new.. and I don't know how to deal with it.

Yay! Now, I have a blog.

Then what? I don't even know what to blog about. Okay, I'd rather post some random rants.. stuffs. Wtvr. I'm lost for words, can't find one in my pocket. To make this short, I'd like to welcome my self.. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BLOGGING.

-end of speech.
