Draft: Boat Ride Through The Sky Logo

I sort of (publicly tweeted) that I'm gonna create a logo for Gela because in my head, the banner is gonna be super plain and simple and the only graphic I can only think of placing on it is a logo. (A detailed explanation for why I only chose a logo will be posted when I've finished the banner)

I started doing something like this because whenever I read her blog she gives off this girly-girl vibe and scalloped borders are kind of like that way too (especially when the color is pink, which coincidentally, is her favorite color) plus it somehow reminds me of laces (which is also one of her favorites). Yeah don't ask why.

In the middle of fixing the boat (yeah, I don't like it as much now and the edges are super rough and I need a new shade of pink for the boat), I suddenly started doing monograms from the initials of Boat Ride Through The Sky (BTTS) and had this awesome monogram in my head that involved the letters forming a frickin' boat....I MEAN RIGHT? IT'LL BE SUPER COOL IF I PULLED THAT OFF!

Instead all I had were these:

I might still push through with it because I can't seem to get the B and S right. Maybe I shouldn't limit myself with the triangle no? I must research more on the types of boats! At the end of the week, however, if I'm still not satisfied, I'm dropping the monogram and focus on the boat instead.

In short, I'm almost there. I've also one thing in mind as a replacement for the boat but it's going to be a tedious process since I'm not really familiar with the pen tool.

PS: I freaked out because I forgot to place CLOUDS on the logo. Holy smokes. Her blog is called Boat Ride Through The SKY. And I have a boat floating on...nothing! Geezas.

Clouds Make Me Happy

I've been feeling down lately so I've edited some cloud photos from my recent travels. Sunny weather and clouds make me happy :)

Oh please be good to me, next half of the year. I'm not expecting much and I'm honestly expecting something worse for the days ahead so I'm bracing myself. Hope I'd come out alive, really.

Apologies and Updates

I was looking through my shots from the US Trip and I just realized how lazy I am in taking pictures. I think it's because getting the right shot for my photos would take time so I'd rather just live in the moment than waste my time capturing said moment. Did that make sense? Well, let me just simplify it for you: I always forget that I have a camera with me.

And so, this might very well entail the future of my Summer 2012 posts. I am truly sorry if I have weird, awkward, why are you taking a picture of your face and not the place, shots. Hey,  I didn't say I'm a professional photographer!

So that's now out of the way, I'd just like to tell you some things because I miss blogging:

• I have a new contract with Accenture for 3 months which started last week and so far, it's good. I don't want to jinx my whole experience so I'll just leave it at that.
• Last summer, a batchmate of mine from High School, Gela of Boat Ride Through The Sky, was looking for someone to redesign her blog and I volunteered! YES. FREE.OF.CHARGE. Well, it's not as if I have the right to charge but still. It has been a really really slow progress (changed the design twice already) which is why I still have NOTHING to present to her. Ugh, brain come on, you're better than this!
• Also, I've just discovered dribbble! How come I didn't know about this? I'm still debating if I should sign up as a prospect but I have nothing yet to upload so... that's sad. I should be starting up on some things yes? Any suggestions tho?
• A super duper random conversation while we were having lunch might lead me to the Olympics. Yeah, OLYMPICS. Again, no deets as of now but it involves my friend Polele. There's like the slightest chance that this thing will happen but you know, we'll see how things will go from here.

June is weird. Things are popping out of nowhere- I can't really decide if they're great or not.

Pic super unrelated: I think we're the only couple who doesn't take pictures as much. And I don't mean like we secretly take pictures from our cellphones but we've decided not to publish it because we're too cheesy kinda way because we're not even cheesy in our pictures! (case in point: Picture above) WE REALLY DON'T TAKE PICTURES. This picture is only 1 out of 2 from our lunch date at King Bee.

What does it say about us? I'm curious.

When Things Don't Go According To Plan

Certain decisions in life has made me lazy, uninspired and bitchy. Kinda like this dog. OH wait, this dog isn't as bitchy as I am. Wow my life.

You know, I was in 3rd year HS when I realized what I wanted to do in life: I wanted to be a web designer living in a condominium in Singapore.It was pretty simple, straight to the point and I was pretty damn confident about it....until I actually entered college.

I was surprised that the course I took did NOT involve doing web design. It was basically hardcore programming with a dash of management courses. You can only just imagine what I know- I was only into Photoshop and HTML and CSS and none of that PHP-JSP-.NET things. I was really annoyed by this fact BUT at the same time I wasn't going to let THAT hinder me from getting a diploma I desperately fought for when my parents wanted me to become a Nurse. I just, I had too much pride in me to admit that I was wrong. I WAS HELL WRONG.

Summer 2012 Part Four Preview: Coron Clouds

I'm a rebel so I'm jumping from one place to another for my Summer 2012 series! (Yet another excuse for my laziness lol)

Every shot I had in Coron was beautiful scenery and clouds. I'm pretty surprised that my sisters and I didn't manage to camwhore all over this trip. There was literally ONE shot in Malcapuya island. ONE.

Oh Coron, please stay like this forever.

Oh, We're Halfway There

Technically, there's like a day left until the oh-six but still, I think it's pretty appropriate to have a review of what happened the first half of the year.

The Blogworthy Workshop! Day 2!

So, I spent a good amount of time gif-ing this graphic, only to realize that I saved it as JPEG. Also, I didn't save a PSD file. Woohoo stupidity!

I totally enjoyed day 2 of Arriane's blog workshop. I'm beginning to feel like this day might be the best yet! Why? Let me count the ways:
