Sem Break?

Today is the 1st day of my sem break. I would've rejoiced, I would have celebrated if only my teachers had enough mercy. Enough mercy not to give us tons of homework nor shove our next long test on our nose as soon as we step into school. Sigh... And they call this a break.

Gaia Online

I just discovered a new game called Gaia Online. I can't tell much about it rather than it's very easy to earn money and there are lots of friendly people.

The address is: http://www.gaiaonline.com

Well, I still have lots of exploring to do, but before I leave I would just like to inform you, o dear invisible reader, that my lolo [grandpa] is coming home from the US today! Yay! I wonder what pasalubongs he gave me. I hope I get LOTS of chocolates! ^_^ LOL

My Site's New Layout

I'm already finished with the design of my site's new layout. However, I'm feeling too lazy transferring the content. I also have some new links that I am again, too lazy to make.

I still sticked to a Halloween theme--kind of. The design is pretty lame, but I'm not in any mood to make it better. In fact, I didn't make my own graphics now.

I don't know when I will be done. Hopefully, it will be up and running before Oct. 31.

A New Name

Gee, today's title reminds me of my school since we recently had a name change.

Anyway, as you may have noticed, my invisible, imaginary, readers, I just changed my blogs name! And I guess I would be needing to explain the reason behind that because... well I have nothing else better to write here anyway.

Well last Sunday, I kind of had some problems. Sorry if I was not able to add it here, today was the only time my brother finally let go of our computer. Now this "problems" of mine was art related and was one of those issues impressionists artists like me often had to deal with (sigh). In the end, I consulted my fellow impressionist artist and best bud, Rosy, about it and she was able to help me. I also learned to embrace the fact that artists are really destined to be misunderstood and it inspired me to change my blog's name to "The World Through the Eyes of an Artist."

Talking about new names, I'm also thinking of changing my site's name from Ethonica to something else. I'm not yet sure of this, though. There is a big possibility that I won't continue this. And even if I did, you can bet that it will still be something unique like Ethonica.

HS Dance

I don't know if I'll go to our High School Dance or not. I thought of going before because Rosy, a friend of mine whom I haven't seen for a long time because she changed schools, will come. But later on, she changed her mind because she's very busy and she has classes the next day.

I heard that the spirits in my school might be disturbed again because the dance is a night activity. Ofcourse I want to be there when that happens, but what will I do during the activity? I certainly don't dance. I also heard that last year, there were no chairs available to encourage people to dance. That means I will be left standing in a corner the entire night.

My bestfriend, Hanyeo won't come, I think P-chan and Mika will, so I guess I'll just hang out with them. My brother, who is an alumni of my school will also come, so just in case he doesn't have anything better to do, we can just go ghost hunting. Ooh... fun. Maybe I'll go after all--maybe. XP

W.i.t.c.h. #27 and plans for my site's new layout.

I'm trashing the halloween theme for my site since it will be my last layout for this year (i'm changing layouts again on january for the new year) and I won't only use it for October and November but up until December.So my next layout will Will (from W.i.t.c.h. magazine) themed. In fact, I'm already scanning the pics that I will use right now.

Speaking of W.i.t.c.h., I jut bought the latest issue, #29, today. Finally, Orube learns the value of unity and someone has a crush on Cornelia--he even filled their room with flowers! How S-W-E-E-E-T! Oops, I didmn't to be a spoiler so that's all I'm gonna say. Still I wonder, what happened to Will and Matt? Since dormouse... left, the story didn't show scenes of them anymore.

Anyway, that's all for now, I need to continue working on with my layout. Till next time!

Just dropping by

Hi, I'm at the comp. lab at school right now! That's all, bye.

Blogs (again) and an Idea For A New Layout

Gee, I'm posting a lot of entrees today. It's all because I'm recquired to add a title on every blog entry. Now I have to categorize all I wanted to say.

Anyway, what's my topic again? Oh yeah, blogs. I'm thinking, off dhosting my own blog again. I did it before but I stopped because there was too much hassle.

As for my new layout, I guess I should make it something spooky since Halloween is near. I guess there would be large possibility my background would be black. This is not yet fianl though.

Rants On Blogs, My Brother and Being the Best

I'm not happy with my blog! Don't ask why because I don't know the answer. Maybe because I did not make my template, even if I really like it or maybe because no one is commenting, but that would be a stupid reason because I don't advertise this blog. Gee, I actually only added a link to this blog on my webbie today. Besides, I like it if no one is commenting, it makes me feel alone and I want to be alone. I also somehow don't want anyone to read my blog, again, I don't know what the reason behind this is. I only write here to add content to my webbie and to bring out all that I've been keeping inside of me (this reduces stress). All of this is not making any sense! They're all stupid reasons.

.................................................................................................................................................

Maybe it's the way I write. I found the journal of my brother when he was still 1st year High School, it was one of their requirements. I know I shouldn't be reading it, but I saw this old blue notebook and I was just curious what's inside of it. When I read the first page, my reaction was: "Ooh!" No. There was nothing personall in his journal entries, I said it because he was so darn skilled in writing and I hate it. My brother is always better than me--in everything. I think the only think I have an advantage on him is art. I know my artworks in my website suck, but my oil paintings are good enough for me to be called paintings. I know I shouldn't be too hard on myself because he's older than me, but for me age is not an excuse. Which is very bad because it always result to making me feel so stupid and useless.

I know I should try to be the best me and not the best of all, but how do you know if you are doing your best? There are some times when we are asked to do something then someone would ask, did you do your best? And I would just say, "Uh...." My mind would just be blank because I don't know what to say.

Again, I ask the question, how do you know if you're doing your best? How does it feel?

There's A Ghost In My School part 2

Here's a link to the website of one of my schoolmate and a friend of a friend. Look for her entry on Oct. 16, that's her version of what happened in our school about the ghost thing. Her version is better and clearer than mine.

New Layout Pressure

WAAAHH!! Some of my friends that has a website like me also have a new layout for their site! And here I am, trying to think of a new look for my webbie but can't think of anything.

Should I really bring back my old starry theme? I don't know...
*bumps head on wall until an idea pops in*

A New Look For My Website

For all of those who visits my website often, you may have noticed that I change my layout a lot. That's because I'm always not contented with the way my we website look like. Right now I'm planning for a new look--again. I'm also thinking off bringing back my old blue star theme. I even redid my old star background. But until now, I'm not yet sure what my new layout would look like. Maybe I'll just take a look at other people's websites and see if I can get any ideas.

There's a ghost in my school!

Today is probable the most interesting day of my entire life.

Our first 2 periods were cancelled because everyone was told to leave the building and stay at the student's lounge. At first, we didn't know what the reason behind this was. Then I heard from Pauline that it was because it was brownout ever since early this morning.

How shallow! Classes were disturbed and the entire school were asked to go down because of a brownout?! That never happened before! Before, even if it's brownout, classes would still resume, now this?

Afterthat, Inna asked me to come with her to her locker. Since I had nothing better to do, I agreed. We entered the building using the side stairs since a prefect was guarding the center stairs. Naturally, the entire building was desserted, so we took our time going to her locker and back again.

When we returned, that's the time I heard rumors that there was a ghost and a student was possessed. I also heard that it was all because some freshmen did bloody mary (standing in front of a mirror and saying, "bloody mary" 13 times) and that Paula saw the ghost. Because Paula was my friend, I quickly looked for her and interrogated her about everything.

When I met her, she was so nervous. It wasn't only her who saw the ghost, also Reizza I think and some other people. They saw the ghost in room 312.

Room 312 was Reizza's room. After going to their locker, they saw that there was a blinking light in that room, they peeked inside and saw 2 white figures then they ran as fast as they could. Even my BFF, Hanyeo, was with them at that time and also saw the blinking light, but she did not look because she was afraid.

Darn! I went inside the HS building and even went to the 3rd floor, where room 312 is, because Inna's locker was on that floor. Even my locker, which was just beside Inna's was there. And, our locker was also near that room.We did not see the blinking light, maybe because me and Inna were too engrossed in our conversations.

Because I am such an adventurous girl, I asked my friends to come with me to Rm. 312, but they all refused because they were scared. I definitely needed a side kick for this adventure like any other adventurers, but no one wanted to come with me! All I was asking for was at least one person join me in this adventure, but no one wanted to! Gee, I expected my friends to be eager to see a ghost and not frightened to see a ghost. This a once in a lifetime chance and definitely a change from our normal, boring day to day events. Man, aren't this people bored of their lives and wish for something like this to happen to them at least once?

Then, because we were quite near to the center stairs, we saw Sir Calsado, one of the prefects, accompany a shaking, crying girl down the center stairs.

I knew who the girl was, she was also a sophomore like me. She was crying and shaking then she collapsed in front of the stairs. A gag of students quickly cirlcled her and the mob got thicker as time went by. Everyone was asking what happened and so on. Now, she was shaking more than ever and she did not stop crying. Some students thrusted rosaries in her hand then I saw Sir Calsado untie a bunch of rosaries that were knotted together. I left the crowd, while praying for her then I met Dionesio and asked if I saw the rosaries knot together while Sir Calsado was praying (So that was why the rosary knotted).

Later on, Sir Calsado and the girl left, I think they went to the chappel. Then our principal's voice was heard throught the PA system and told us that the reason why classes were disturbed were because of the brownout then he asked us to sit down then they prayed the rosary.

Our school have recently had a name change. A friend of mine said that they should have blessed our school when we changed our name, because our school is now like a brand new school because of our new name and the school that was blessed was our old school and our school now is new so it's not yet blessed.

Blogs Galore 2

Or... maybe i would....

Blogs Galore

WAAAHH!! I recently discovered new blog hosts, some are even better than blogger (my current host). It makes want to change blogs again, but that would mean it would be my 5th time to change blogs. 5 times!! That's a lot! Ofcourse I could always transfer my blog entrees in an old blog to a new one, but that would take a lot of my time--which I currently don't have much of. Not all blog hosts have the export-inport entrys capability like bravenet, so I will have to do it manually.

No. I won't change my blog. Even if I'm using a default template because I'm too lazy to look for pre-designed ones or study on how to make my own, that means my template is waay too common. Quite ironic for a girl like me who like to be one of a kind. sigh...

I still won't change blogs.

No More Hunter X Hunter!!

Waahh!!! There's no more HxH! I know GMA took it off last week, but a friend of mine said they would resume airing it this week and they didn't!! What will I do without my daily dose of Killua? sniff... sniff... sob!

Update On My Life

Hey, did you know I'm currently listening to a song sung by the japanese seiyuu of Killua? XD I'm listening to it again and again hoping I could memorize so whenever I miss Killua I justy need to hum this song. Wahaha, I'm a hopeless Killua fangirl. Oh my.

Anyway, I guess I should stick to my title which is, "Update On My Life." I know, i know, I'm just wasting my time updating this blog since no one is bothering to visit it. Actually, I even like it more if no one else but me sees this blog, but I'm running out of things to put on my websiteand I'm doing this for me, to entertain my future self in the future.

Argh! Why do I keep on getting off topic?!
Okay, well this Saturday, Oct.9, I went to Greenbelt and Glorietta 4.
I already finished reading the 5th and final book of the Spiderwick Chronicles. Hmm... what else? Oh yeah, my Quarter Exam results are satisfactory except for... math. I HATE MATH!!! Grr!!

I want to change something about my website, maybe update it or change it's layout--again! But I don't have time to do so and I feel lazy, so maybe next time.

That's all I can think of for now. Bye!

My PA Project Results

I got 99 or 100% for my PA project! Woohoo!! 99 is the highest in my school's grading system since the computer can no longer compute 3 digit numbers. Our teacher even said it was very good!Ofcourse there's no surprise there, with the HTML knowledge and creative skills that I possess, I really expected to get a 99.

Okay, I already sound very boastful so I'll end this entry now.

Finally!

I finally finished our project in PA. Whew! I also made an affiliate button for my friend, Sean and I changed this blog's template, it's now dotty (or whatever the title of this temp is) so that it will match my pic on my profile. ^_^

Woohoo! I'm so happy, I feel so free like a butterfly!
That's 2 weights off my shoulders!

HxH Black Book and some rantings on art

It's saturday today and I'm currently doing our project in PA which is a fansite of Hunter X Hunter called HxH Black Book. Nice name, huh? I thought of it, and also the theme and I also made the design. Woohoo! I am so good.

Here's what the most interesting thing that happened to me today: I made some HxH doujounchi (is that the right spelling?). Their really funny! (for me) Maybe I'll post 'em here one day, I'll get some feedback from my friends first and see which ones are worthy to be published online.

I'm currently researching for some pics in deviantart for my project, so I can get some pics that people rarely uses - fanart. Sometimes, fanarts are even cuter than official pictures.

I have an account at deviantart (my username is ethonica), but I don't post any of my drawings there. LOL, post my artworks in my website, but only a few. Don't have much time to scan my drawings and upload them now. Maybe in the future, maybe.

Sometimes, I envy those kids in deviantart, those who can draw good anime. Sometimes I wish I can draw as good as them, even if anime and impressionism (the kind of art I use and rule over) are galaxies away. Their like math and english, you can only be good at one of them. *sigh* Good thing I have friends who are talented manganers like Mika-chan. I can just ask them to draw my fave anime characters. But being able to draw it, personally, is really... different. I guess I just got to be content with my Van Gogh-like style, which I feel like I'm gradually losing (hope I don't really lose it, my art teacher will kill me!).

Honestly, I don't feel so great. I feel like my drawings suck. My fanfics suck, my stories suck-everything sucks. The one thing that I kind of feel I'm quite good at is webdesign, but I also think I suck at it.

Grr... I'm not supposed to think this way. I already promised myself I won't think so lowly of myself again, but like any other promises I do to myself, their all broken. Well, maybe not all, just most of them.

Hey, why do I suddenly feel so blue? Maybe because I'm tired. I actually just woke up. I slept a while ago and woke up at 9 and even if it's 10 already, I still feel sleepy. I lack sleep the entire week, I'm so stressed out with all the responsiblity balanced all my shoulder, I still have tons of things I need to do and I need to do them now. My PA project is due on monday and so is my math project. So until next time!
