It's been a long hiatus (arrrgh! tinnitus!) for me, and I know, that never mattered. Same blog address, same blogger.
On Heroes (Warning: Lame)
With Moody's unintentional persuasion, I bought an illegal dvd of Heroes' first season and finished all twenty three episodes in a span of three days. Eye-damaging, yes, but oh-so-inspiring. I was probably the last person among my peers who watched the series, so I won't waste time telling you what it is all about. Fine. I watched it and became a fan in a matter of seconds-the storytelling was awesome. The plot kind of bored me towards the end, probably because of too much fantasy that I did'nt expect from a series that they say was unconventional and out of the ordinary, but i still find it awesomely awesome rather than Zaido-ish awful, nonetheless. What really caught me offhand is Masayori Oka's portrayal of his role, Hiro Nakamura. Woah. I loved it.
On The Sandman (Warning: Lame)
After two years of being a fan of the concept, I finally got a chance to get hold of of Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" series, Volumes 1-6, thanks to Kuya Maqui. I have always loved Gaiman's writing, having read a handful of his short stories, and his children's fiction, The Wolves in the walls, but that wasn't enough to give me a clue on what to expect in The Sandman series. First, I did not think of it as a comic book, but rather a graphic novel, like Wolves in the walls (though it was more of a children's storybook) and Stardust. Second, I thought of it as Encantadia-like and prepared to be disappointed, since I am not that much of a fan of fantasy stuff. Well, I was wrong. Just the concept of Dream being a character would already engross me to the book. The art was awesome, especially Dave McKean's interpretations. Woah. I love The Sandman.
On Dreams (Warning: Lame)
In the past few days, I have been dreaming of almost everything that I read and watch-and I think it's cool.
On Dreams
Fine, I failed in two of my major subjects, specifically, Design and Color and Mechanical Drawing. Ya see, I failed to pass two plates in the former and successfully passed two (at least) on the latter.. how would I expect to pass?! Fine, the fault's all mine. I believe it's time to stop blaming everything else. Because of this, I have decided to have a major revamp on my priorities, aspirations, and goals:
a.) Keep your goals short term.
b.) Reach them.
c.) Be filthy rich.
d.) Take a hiatus in making art for public consumption and focus on making art for your professors instead.
e.) NEVER procrastinate.
f.) Do your plates as fast as cheetahly possible.
g.) Take your subjects in other sections, and avoid being distracted by the people that you are closest too. (1ad5, I'll forever love you.)
h.) Deprive yourself of the luxuries that you don't deserve despite being able to afford them.
i.) Be just friends with everyone.
There are more that I prefer not to tell, but these, I think, would do.
I realized that I have to stop trying to be a miracle to somebody and Wait for a miracle to come to me instead.
"Everybody's just a stranger--that's the danger in going my own way, but I guess that's the price I gotta pay. Still, everything happens for a reason, but that's no reason not to ask myself if I'm living it right."

Beautiful words.ü
Forgive me for writing lame. I have to learn how to write again. I promise to entertain some other day.
Thanks to Audrey for re-teaching me how to love life again, and to Kuya Maqui for lending me The Sandman series, volumes 1-6. Props to Moody for the persuasion. All my love to Thea, Van, Wreighnauld, Kebe, Yani, Audrey, Looking for Steve and Nika for making everything easier for me and to Mama and Tatay for understanding.ü
