Tiring day...

Where am I? by =jcroxas on deviantART
My featured Art for this entry

So hi guys! It's Skeeper here again. I just want you to know that I'm doing good today.

First things first. Jake already came back from japan and i received the funky and shiny shimmering sticker torquoise beads for my phone. Looks really strong and it really looks expensive. I failed to capture it in my camera as my camera is not here.

Gosh. I sure hope so that i have a camera wherever I go.

Another thing, me and Mark went nuts today as we should meet our classmates for the casting of our shortfilm. But no one came there so we decided to go to Mindpro to buy Sims 3. Then we went to some stores, searched some interesting stuffs in Bloomingdales and even checked for some waveboards. We really want to buy one.

Then we decided to go back to School but we first stopped at McDonalds to have some snacks. Blah blah blah. Everything just went normally. Went back to school, had some series of talks and finally found ourselves talking to Rica. But she has to go to a party so we decided to go to a computer shop where i left mark and went home. But unfortuantely, it's brownout again so i went to the school and headed straight to the back field

Then we played JAVELIN THROW! THEN WAVEBOARD! THEN FRISBEE! gosh. tiring but im happy.

Thanks to Keren, Queennee and Kent. :D we had fun

xoxo,

Skeeper

A Poem for Danielle

Danielle by =jcroxas Whoever thought I could meet? A girl as lovely as thee. With eyes so tiny and sweet as milk With lovely lips, so thin and so meek. I can still remember when I and her first met It was a dream come true for the prince's mind set. I always watch her walk towards me with flare As she caught me looking at her with my eyes full of glare. Each day passed with happiness in my heart. My words are becoming alive for her, I remarked. But when the day came that she needs to embark I caught myself standing, in a long room without any sparkling thing in the dark. See you soon Danielle. I'm still here... missing you.

Friendship by ~andrearment on deviantART

So, hello again.

I'm here to update some things in my life now. Just recently, i noticed that weird things are happening in my life for the past few days. Well, i guess everything's not gonna get back to normal until next week. *sigh* but i just hope that everything will be fine soon.

well anyway, i decided to make a poll last night in my DeviantART page. The title of the poll is " I'm in a dilemma, problem, difficulty, disappointment, distress, and etc. "

many actually commented on that poll and i am so happy. I felt the love and care from my friends in Deviantart.com and it's really cool to always feel the same way.

What strucked me most is the comment that came from Joybelle.deviantart.com

maybe...
The best thing to do is pray (I found) - seriously...
or take a quiet walk...
or make a list of things you need to do, including people to talk to or not talk to...
yeh ths what I would do...
or if all else fails, eat chocolate! (that also works)

yes. i found her suggestions very interesting and i also noticed that yeah. i think i should follow her suggestions. well anyway, let's just keep 'em coming. 


Much love and xare to you all.

A Letter to My Younger Self

baby by ~GenevieveAlbert on deviantART

To: Jude Christoper R. Roxas

From: Jude Christoper R. Roxas

March 21, 2042

Dear Jude,

32 years ago, my parents asked for a healthy child again. And I was born. 31 years ago, I asked for happiness, He gave me a family. 29 years ago, I asked God for a good future. He gave me education. 25 years ago, I asked for experiences. He gave me leadership to work on. 20 years ago, I asked for inspirations then God gave me a bunch of crushes. Weird and funny but it helped me. :) 13 years ago, I asked God for a stable job. He then gave me a diploma. 10 years passed. 8 years. Then 7, 6,5,4,3,2--- all went well. Then just this morning, I asked God to have a talk with you, and then here it is. The letter that I wrote is with you now. Read this carefully and put everything I will tell you close to your heart.

All that I wished belongs to me. And this thing is the thing that I can promise you. That everything that I have belongs to you too. Because I am you- Just older.

I know that you will be so shocked when you will read the date present in this letter. Yes. I am really you. Only 32 years older. I'm from the future. And you have to believe me. I am here to help you and not to bring any harm in your imagination nor in your life. You want some proofs? I'll tell some secrets that only we know. And I am still keeping these things secret until now. And I hope that it will make you happier.

We use to have a twin that was born two days before we were born. Yes. I am still calling him Twin until now and he's still alive. So don't worry. Next, in your time, there are a couple of people that you don't really like much. I can still remember our feelings whenever we were being annoyed by them. With their silly attitudes, and stuffs like that and you can't still forgive someone for killing your animal for a laboratory exercise. I'm pretty sure that you had a hard time looking for a replacement with your partner. But nevertheless, you were so happy when you managed to have not just one but three replacements! You always put your time over the internet rather than studying. And when mama and papa is texting you and asking you if you're studying, you keep on telling them "yes!" even if you are not even bothering doing it. Well, I guess those are enough.

And this paragraph, will make you believe that you and me are just one. Can you still remember when your friend asked you on how to open a love letter? I also used the same format I gave her so that I can also open the my love letter for you.

And I hope that you believe me now. And you really have to believe me because I am really you. Again, I want to remind you that I am just 32 years older than the 18 you.

Before anything else, I have some good news for you.  I am now living in the year 2042 as stated in the date in the letter. And for heaven's sake, I haven't able to meet the end of the world. You're still living in 2010 right? So don't be afraid. Because the 2012 prophecy is not really true. Another good news, your toe nails are still complete and well groomed! I know how you love your nails even if you sometimes fail to have it pedicured. Well, seeing my nails clean will always make mom happy right? She still loves our toenails. Teehee. I did not dye my hair. Not even once. So it's really amazing. Good thing that we were able to get dad's hair characteristics. Haha.

Paopao is big now. And he's doing really great in school. Our nephew's is continuing the Roxas' legacy of excellence. Of course, our sisters and brother are in the good mood always. This is the impact of being in a happy family perhaps.

Here's more good news from me to you! You will continue meeting great people in your life. Continue to blog. You will also meet many great people in the blogosphere. And yeah! Another great news. Fella is 41 years old now and you will also meet many deviants during the deviantmeets. Well, enough for this thing as I don't want to spoil your future. But remember, great adventures lie ahead, ;)

But of course, for you to experience the experiences I am experiencing now, please take the following notes from me. After all, its me who can give more advices for you because I had lived with it. In layman's point of view, let me just say that there's more to believe in the experienced person.

Spend more time with your family. As much as possible, if you have time during weekends, go back to the house where you can really experience home. There's more to see and experience with your family. Just imagine the food that mama will make. The company papa will give you. The playful moments with our kuya and Paopao and to call our ates while they are in their works. Just imagine being with them for at least 4 days in a month. Isn't that great? I can still remember when we were still in second year college that you did not even bothered going back home because we feel so tired and exhausted riding the bus. But then, after all the experiences I had, I learned that there's no such place like home.

Spend more time with our family please. I know that it's in ourselves already that we cry while we blog on how we miss our family so much. But those tears will eventually turn into smiles when you will experience their loving arms as they welcome you back into our home. Their warm kisses- so good to feel. And oh btw, did I mentioned that our home is still here? I am now encoding this letter in our bed while you are there in Zamboanga reading this letter. Haha.

Another thought: do whatever you can do to make mama and papa happy. I will not tell you when they will leave but surely, right after you read this, text them and call them and tell them how much you really love them. And thank them for everything that they have done for you. I am also crying when Im writing this letter for you. I can remember the happy moments with mama and papa. I am not doing this to make you cry. I just want you to feel that we are the luckiest son in the world for having such a wonderful parents and family. Remember, they are in their 50's while you are reading this thing. And I'm 54 now. Get the point?

Please help them save money for your future and do well in your studies. I will always remember everything that papa told us. That the only thing that he can give for us is our diploma. Yes! With our diploma, I am really sure that their support is there. All the support from Mama, Papa, Kuya and Ate are there journeying with us as we try to reach our goals in life. Isn't that the best gift we can receive?

Commit to your memory their laughters and happy moments. Their tender loving care. The way they look at you like a treasured gold. And their love will always be the source of love that rotates within the family.

Some piece of advice about your education, no matter how you hate a particular subject, learn to love them. It's just a matter of throwing a dice and you want to get a number one to be able to win the game then you got six. From that, you step to the winner's place then go back 4 steps back from there. But then, always remember that there are second chances and that you must burn the flame burning and to be determined to win no matter what without hurting anyone in the process. And those hated subjects will just play like darkness in your life. But remember too that making dreams come true is a long shot in the dark. And don't put too much pressure in hating some people. Remember, you will be with them in the rest of your college years. Just be good to them and they will also be good to you. Trust me. This has been proven by me.

Remember also that God will always love you even if you sometimes forget to go to Church and pray. But as long as you will ask for his love and forgiveness, you will always feel His healing power. And don't be too pressured when you have mistakes. Learn from it as many are saying, "We're just humans". We know how to make mistakes and the best part is that, we also know how to learn from it. So be proud! God will always be there for you. He will always be on guard no matter what. He wants you to have meaningful life.

Don't be afraid to let others know the real you. Be sure to open your life like an open book once in a while. In your life, you will experience pride, betrayal and judgments. But the best part is yet to come. That the persons who really love you will always stay with you no matter what.

Lastly, enjoy your youth. Do not be afraid to try new things. Make more friends, laugh till cry and be amazed in the perfect world that you deserve. Make everyone proud in every thing that you do for from that, you can have the real you.

Thanks to the great technologists who created this invention so that I can send this letter for you from the future. Haha. But yeah, let yourself write our good future. I'm just here to help you make it happen.

Hugs for you buddy and good luck as you write the best book in our life.

With much love and care,

Jude from the future

Don't rush into getting married. For true love will always wait <3

Points Hunting+Epicness

POINTS HUNTING

CURRENT POINTS STATUS in Deviantart: 60 points

Given by `Kaz-D and `JurgenDoe

So hi guys, i was really busy this week looking for points. gosh. Since points came here in DA, i am really happy to see some transactions in my inbox

and another important note, hunting for points is killing my time. hahaha. but at least, im enjoying.

When I dont have anything to do, i usally end up sleeping early like 1 o'clock in the morning or sometimes 10 oclock in the exening. but when i doing some points hunting, i usually end up sleeping before 6 in the morning yep! then i sually wake up one hour after to prepare for the class.

Just last night, i was so busy answering the trivia of ^MyntKat and it took me over 6 hours to find at least a nibble of the answer. I had a short conversation with ^NikiVandermosten and had a very fun conversation with him as he also tries to get the 400 points.

thanks for the time buddy

I know im silly but im really trying my best to get as many points as i can so that i can purchase a DA lanyard or buy a painting from or from

Exams are already coming. But what i am doing is lurking over the internet to do many things like blogging in my blog [ofcourse], and watching some movies online.

Well, from that experience, i can say that i somewhat wasted my time. But im not blaming the points system here. because i love them!

but what i would like to stress here is that, instead of watching movies online, instead of bloghopping in blogger and wordpress, instead of taking a nap while buffering the movies, i should have studied too so that i can prepare myself for the exams

gosh. i sis not even saw that coming. Now, i'm cramming since i only have 1 day and some hourse to study. May the good Lord bless me for this one.

Now, i call that EPIC.

Now, the times i wasted, i call EPIC.

WHY?

Because from that experience, i learned many things. Even i wasted my time for some thing over the internet, it helped me think over the things i am doing and from that, i learned to re-examined my self once again.

So, who says that that time wasted is not that good? well, if this happens to you, try to meditate. well, at least, you can just think become optimistic in the things you are doing.

If i made it this time, well im sure that you can make it too! trust me! since i trust and love you all

xoxo,

Skeeper

I Don't Know why. But I Cried

Lonely Nights by *Adiago on deviantART

Originally posted in DA Jan 24, 2010

Yes. you read it just right. i cried

it was just this afternoon after i arranged my room. [btw, i found out that as a student, i only need 2 black shoes, 1 pair rubber shoes, sneakers and slippers plus sandals] and after cleaning, i also found out my stack of shoes [rubber shoes, steel toe shoes and etc and sandals here. guess i need to return it home.]

going back to my story, it was when i went to the Church to join in the celebration of the mass. i just walk from my boarding house to the Cathedral. then i immediately took the best seat for me. then just minutes after the mass began, a family took their seats in fron of my pew where i am seated. everyone is there, mom, dad, brother, sister and grandma. they look so happy.

then i dont know what i felt that time. jealous? nah. envious? not really. lonely? gah.

i dont know what happened. but a tear flowed from my eye.

then i started saying, "I MISS MY FAMILY SO MUCH"

i am studying in a place where i need to adjust from the environment most of the time. if i want to go home, i still need ride a bus that will take me to a 3 hour trip back way home. im occupying a room now. and yes, i know i miss my family. my family's away to me physically but i know they are just right here in my heart. im sorry about that. i may sound to crappy but that is my feeling.

i need to go somewhere else to study. i guess it will just be in a form of sacrifice on our part because they are also doing their best to support me in my chosen want-to-have-career.

just this evening, i texted my mom to inform her that i miss everyone. and she replied that they miss me too. that made me feel better. im planning to call them after posting this thing.

well guys, im sorry for feeling this way. sometimes, i just need to take a break from being happy. no im not an emo. i just being true to myself. good thing you're here too! my DA and Blogger family.  thanks for everything!

i love you ALL.

cheers+:peace:+:heart:

What happens when you fall in love... with nature?:D


so hi everyone! it's me again! :D and i'm just going to do some blogging tonight. it's already 11.30 in the evening this time and i am still wide awake. I was just browsing over my email, cleaning to be particular, and i found the photos taken from a very beautiful place called Patalon. So i decided to download it and post some pictures here and let you all see the beauty of the place and to let you see the beauty of our country.


the place is indeed an excellent place. we stayed in the rest house of my very beloved friend which is a hunderd km away from the city [i think]. well anyway, this happened some few months ago when we were suppose to make our Programmed Game then decided to unwind for a while. so what happened is we did not sleep but instead, chose to work while our friends are enjoyinh the food, scene and merry making.






this is somekind the resting place where we can see the beach, tress, ski and the javuzzi.






we posed for a while to welcome the positive enrgy with in us. ofcourse, we were so happy with the place.



The owner of the rest house prepared our meal too! together with ma'am tisay and ma'am lany. we had so much fun eating the food.


just take a look at these:

Breakfast day 2



Breakfast day 2



Dinner Day 1.The fish really looks yummy! and it was indeed yummy! :D



Reminiscing the moments here is indeed a good start for our days here as i can remember the happy moments we spent in this place.

these lights hung in the tree look so good at night time.



the scene here looks awesome! a good place for pictorial :XD:

The Sad Me

 
Depressed by =ReehBR on deviantART

originally posted last Jan 23, 2010 in my DA blog

So i'm in the mood of depressing myself more. most likely because of a thing, a very important thing that might be taken away from me and from my calssmate. a chance to be nominated in the biggest animation festival here in our country

i was not able to sleep the other night, not even for a minute or two, hoping to finish our animation project that we will submit on the next day. everyone is so happy seeing us making our vector characters as well us in tracing the backgrounds, preparing the color palettes and in choosing the sound effects for the show and for the demo reel. 

and because of that, mw and my classmate stayed inpired by their friendly thoughts.

the night came when we thought that we will not sleep to make it happen. and yes. it raelly did happen. at first we had a good time talikng with each other while we prepare the project plus talking to our other classmates. we had a fun time eating Mars, Sneakers, Baby Ruth and other chocolate bars we love. plus not to mention the yummy midnight 

dinner :XD:

12 hours before the time:

we were so happy to see the outputs. one by one, frame by frame, time by time, we did our  best. we're still eating this time. had a break and checked our facebook accounts :)

11 hours before the time:

we roughly worked harder in my laptop tracing and animating already.

10 hours before the time:

 we changed the 1st and 2nd scenes in the flat screen desktop computer. the memory there is much better for rendering the videos and etc.] and prepared the soundtracks.

9 hours:

we're trying to edit evrything in Adobe Premiere. i mean the first and last scenes. we were trying to keep our eyes awake. [of course, we did not cut our wrists and put on lemon fruit juice] haha

8 hours before the time:

 iwe're freezing to death because of the aircoditioner. gahd :XD: then we're still okay and optimist :)

7 hours before the time

the sun already rising and we're still not yet done.

6,5,4,3 hours before the time

- we're still optimist. and our friends kept on telling us that we can do it! and they're all proud of us. [i so love my classmates. thank you micco, raymond, feriza, anette and greggi.]

2 hours before the time

- we're rendering the last scene and the estimated time of render? a shocking 19 hours of waiting :noes: and with that, we said goodbye to hope.

1 hour:

the two of us are dead tired. trying to consume ore energy from the environment. i tried and i think my classmate is exhausted from the days work. i let him sleep. he really needs it and ofcourse, i love my classmate and it's time is the only thing he needs. and i gave him the time to sleep.

minutes before the time, i managed to make it though even if we're lacking two scenes. and every projects made in 

premiere are not so good. tried to copy it in a DVD as fast as i could and made it.

texted my feriza and anette to meet me at the university back gate since i failed to bring my ID. they responded 

quickly and i so love them.

they passed the DVD for us. and then we're down to bed.

the output is not so good but we're still thankful that we were able to submit. thank you dear GOD. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note from me: guys, time is really precious so if ever your schedules are tight, please pelase please, take this from me:

Do everything you can to manage your time.

as i tried to imagine the importance of time, i was reminded by a very beautiful powerpoint presentation that i was able to read in our desktop computer.

it goes like this:

There was a teacher who stood in front of his very brilliant minded students. after a minute of talking, he produced about a dozen of fist-sized rocks and also got a very big, wide-mouthed far. he then palced all the big rocks inside the jar. after filling it, he asked his students,

"Is this jar full?"

evryone asnwered in chorus with a resoundign "YES!"

then the teacher got his prepared pale of gravel under his table and put it inside the jar which made the gravel have a place between those big rocks. 

then he asked again,"is the jar full?". then one student answere, "i think not."

then he was impressed that he also got a pail of sand. then he poured it inside the jar and tapped the jar thrice 

tho let the tiny pieces have a space between the gravels.

then he asked for the third time, "It this jar full?" then again, whole class spoke and said, "No."

then he said good. he then got a pitcher full of water and put it iside the jar until the jar is filled up with rocks, gravel, sand and water.

then he asked them of what is the point of that. then one student immediately stood up and said,

"no matter how tight your schedule is, you will still manage to fit everything together in a minimal amount of time."

the teacher disagreed and told them the real maning of that,

" The point is, if you don't put the big rocks in first, " . . . would you ever have gotten any of them in?"

well my dear friends, i suppose you heard this story already but i just want to remind you all that you have to say yes to your big rocks first as your grains, sands and waters of your life will just perfectly fit inside your schedule without any problems :)

------------------------------------------------

again, thanks for letting me share you the things happened to me the other day and i wish you all the best!

thanks for readng

-----

exams are over and i have one more project to do and i can read all yuor journals and check your comments and reaplies!

i love you all! :heart:s
