Since my summer is full of homework, and stuffs from school, my brain is all dried up. A feeling of being played with the south and west wind.

School days are too far gone in this summer season. Now I got a literally dry summer. Except from the fact that I get to see my damn cracking friends everyday, but i'm almost snapped out. I know, it's a usual thing for a student, and I must enjoy it.


So, does it mean that summer is my greatest frequency of moodswings? Aside from the weather, some people which I can't seem to reach out is one reason why I got on-board with the mood to capture out anything based from my instincts and current emotion. A photo of three dried leaves along the road left lying by the rustling wind.

This photo got so many emotions, that's why I decided to mark the word, Season, because season is just like the feelings of a person. Not all the time we are happy, not all the time we are in vain. Nevertheless, let us all remember that life is too short, so let's celebrate every moment of it, even though it's a sad moment or at the peek of your happiness. Cheers to life!

So far, summer is all dried up. How's yours? Was that too EMO?! LOL

It's been a while since I posted photos related to my hobby photography. Since I only got a Canon EOS 750QD circa 90s, and a cheap digicam, I've been limited into short range shooting, and pale color output, I basically use Adobe Photoshop, just to acquire my desired image contrast.

Topaz' PS Filter is a great way to set the contrast in your photos with a popping effect.
The package offers great photo effect template and manual sliders for the colors and contrast. It's good to experiment with its interface, that's why I found myself manipulating and processing photos again after a long hiatus.

Although I need to acquire some more skills about shooting and processing, I know, i'm in the process of learning, and hopefully learn some additional basic skills.

This one was shot from Tropicana Beach Resort, somewhere here in Gensan. To add more dramatic effect, I turned it into black and white, and set the contrast high enough to distingush the two shades with the use of curves. To tweak more of it, I pop the image using Topaz.

This is the road to Panabo, Davao del Norte. Since the original output of this one is pale, and the sky was so clear, where you can barely see clouds on it, I decided to turn it into a black and white photo, and added a crisp on the photo using the same filter.

Dear Santa,

I've been dying to see your real face. Obviously, its 24th of December and I haven't received any gift from you yet. You even left my dashboard messy and didn't leave a real Christmas present. If you're reading this right now, I really hate you, I won't give you some of mom's freshly baked macaroons. I know you're restless but what about making my day happy?

You know what? Time is running out. Hours from now and you'll be busy dropping by on houses, but you're forgetting to drop a single present here. Damn! If you think I'll be off wandering and making my way to my dreamland, no way, I'll be waiting for a drop from you. I'm also planning on how to get over there. North Pole must be way freezing now, your sexy elves must be kicking ass right now. Who knows? You yourself know.

Well, if you can't accept my request, will you just make these Chicken instantly covered with breadcrumbs. I'm dying to do this one recently, but since I don't know how to accomplish this, you can help me. If you also got time, could you fetch my laundry in the laundry shop nearby? I'm sure you'll agree. Lastly, can you provide me another desktop, so that I can easily do works?

Come on, i'm sure you still got some of your tricks there. I know you can grant the wishes of a frustrated student. I know you will. Anyway, same as you, i'll be taking a break, and hope that this Christmas eve will be another interesting and great event to experience. Goodluck to your gift-dropping tonight Santa! Just be sure to greet all the fellas you see tonight!

Nothing much happened during the last 24 hours living as a frustrated IT student, except the fact that I had just recieved my free domain from Batang Yagit, and the frustrating pop dance we had in PE. It was just a normal day, with normal boring subjects. Before I forgot, I got the chance to post a personal one, and it was already a month when I had my last personal post, or corect me if i'm wrong.

Plurk has consumed much of my time responding and posting your daily activities. It's addicting. I really don't know what's the essence of updating your plurk every hour, except for that online buddy maker and those "Nirvana here I come" lines from addicted users.
So I decided to try it out, from Twitter jumped to Plurk. The starting days of my account was dormant, updating once in a while, and just posting for some extraordinary activities you got their. That's it.Weeks later, as my karma points grew, I was in awe not to plurk for even just a day. Was I desperate or plainly addicted to this service? I tried uploading my photo for my profile, customized the theme and hang-out with other users.

Then, that's it.The once uknown to me had become a part of my daily routine, spending almost half of the day interacting the the "plurkville", as what they call it. Of course, you have to update your profile, from its font down to what you needed most, the overall theme. So here I just want to share you my 1 month plurk page. Fresh from the top and using my logo, I decided to make it as a background.

The logo I made just only for MY PLURK PAGE, is a proof how much I have been addicted in the past 1 month. At least, I wouldn't die for it though.

The original cut of my graphic design.

So there they go, off to Plurkville andpost your daily activities. But, don't forget some things should be prioritized first before setting of to our plurk homeland. :)
