Well, aren’t you surprised that I made an entry this soon? I told you, when I have time to burn, I will just keep on posting and posting here! I divided this post into dates so if you’re too much of a lazy ass to read (like me), then skip on to something that’ll interest you.

The creative bug just bit me and I printed two shirts for friends. Though, I will only be showing one since I made one for Kim and she is constantly lurking about my blog. Sorry Kim, you’ll just have to wait!

Anyway, this one’s for another friend since it’s gonna be her birthday on the 2nd. It’s supposed to be a surprise. I only told her I’m cultivating something for her. I believe she won’t be dropping by here anytime soon, so here it is!

It still has to undergo washing just to make sure the paint is intact and won’t wear off, but practically, it’s 95% finished. I used textile paint, textile pen, sticker paper and a lot of handwork and skill. I think I should stick to this because silkscreen method is just a pain in the ass and printing machines are way too expensive.

Do you think I should make a business out of this hobby?

A while ago, my bandmates and I attempted to play That’s What You Get by Paramore. It isn’t too shabby, but it still lacks a lot. After the usual serious practicing, we just can’t help but fool around the studio.

No pics but just my favorite clip for today! My friends and I decided to switch instruments just for a whole lot of messing around.

And I’m gonna share a cover song by me. If you don’t want your ears to bleed, don’t go for this one. I already gave you the benefit of not including my picture in the vid.

And lastly, I finally saw my grades and thank God I didn’t die. I’m quite disappointed with myself with what I got in Political Science. But, I have to just be thankful that I didn’t fail. Our professor is certainly hard to please, but I’m not hating the Constitution. In fact, I’m loving it. I’ll follow up the grades later.

Okay, that’s all for today! If you’d like to skip the rant part, go ahead. If you like snooping around with my life’s failures, go ahead!

PS: Okaerinasai, Moo! Welcome home!

I am back with a new theme! YAY! I was already getting sick over the last theme, so I changed it while I still have time to burn. After all, this is what the sembreak is all about. Bumming around! And I haven’t done that for the past 6 months.

Pink, Pink and Pink!
Not much of a fan of the color pink, but I felt I’m in the mood for a little girly-ness. The theme I made isn’t exactly inside of my comfort zone. I prefer simple and elegant themes over funky and loud ones, but exploring outside the box wouldn’t hurt. If you see any flaws, I’ll fix them later since it’s past 3 AM in the morning and my brain isn’t functioning sharply, you see.

Cheers for Sembreak!
Moo’s in Thailand right now, so I’m kinda lonely right now because I don’t have a playmate. I just made a layout instead and kept myself busy like eating, eating, eating and just eating. Haha.

Enrolment will be on the coming 30th and resume of classes is on November 9. I really don’t have much long before I go back to being a busy Junior college kid again. So, I’m making the most out of my days at home and with my buds.

I was too stressed the past semester and I’m wishing that this sem wouldn’t be the same — or worse. I think my body wouldn’t be able to handle all the stress and I might just break out or something.

To put in a nutshell, here are my things-to-do for the semestral break. I have to warn you though, it’s not so fruitful. It’s just for FUN!

• Finish Gossip Girl Season 2. Heck, I thought this series was a bunch of an airheads gossiping. It turns out that the characters are interesting and real. They are slaves for their own insecurities. Special thanks to Moo for introducing this series to me.
• Read Death from the Woods by Brigitte Aubert and The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. These have been in my pending books to read list, and I haven’t made any serious progress. *hits self*
• Think of a new name for the college’s publication. SELAMS Pages is just a bore. As the Editor-in-Chief, I was assigned, together with the staff to think of a good name. Thing is, we don’t have anything yet. Any suggestions?
• Finish my entry for the 3rd Annual Artwork T-shirt Design Competition. Deadline is on November 15. I already have a few concepts in mind and design studies in here, but I’m still not satisfied. Maybe, inspiration will come soon. I’ll post a pic of the shirt when I’m done with it!
• Make shirts for friends!

The contest isn’t just designing. You have to use materials and submit a shirt with the design. So, photoshop isn’t enough here. You have to use your hands.

Anyway, that’s all for today. I’ll practically be posting every now and then this time. I’m making the most out of sembreak!
