Week 9: Blog Encapsulated Memories.

Blogging enables ordinary people like me to freely express my thoughts and ideas about a certain topic. It allows me to write the thoughts stuck in my head that I can`t tell others. It is a place wherein I feel like I can express myself so much without worrying what others would think about me. I can type down the words I don`t have the courage to tell to somebody. As time goes by, things change. It is good to write down the happenings in your life and put it in a blog. After some time, have a minute or two to read what you`ve blogged about and remember the happy moments, the laughter you shared with your family and friends, the moment you felt true happiness, the once in a lifetime chances you had, and your personal experiences. Whats unique and awesome about blogging is that it is limitless. It does`nt have boundaries. You can blog about anything. You are free to publish anything you want. Besides, it is your blog. You must decide on what to put in it. 

I`ve been into blogging for almost a year now. Although I`m not that active and famous, I`m pretty proud of my blog. I interact with other people across the country. Just like what I`ve said in one of my previous posts, I discovered my interest through tumblr. I was inspired to do what other artists do. I want to be the best at this field. And I work hard to achieve it. I practice vector art as much as I can. I write down the deepest thoughts and feeling concealed in my heart in every text post I publish. I browse for blogs I`m interested about. I follow art blogs that keep me inspired to improve myself out. I think that`s whats important. To continue what you do as long as it makes you happy. 

My blog is where I put my heart and soul. And there, my memories shall lie forever. 

Week 8: Cyberlife.

The new media has changed our lives. It became a part of our daily activities and routines. We connect, chat, and talk with people through the use of internet. Yes, it is very advantageous in a sense that it enables us to connect to our friends and loved ones more efficiently, it is very convenient, and it is a medium for us to receive vital and reliable information from other people. We can easily communicate with people in different places around the globe if we have access to the internet. Yes. I`am a teenager and yes, internet is my bestfriend. Why? Because I spend most of my time in front of the computer. I know that its not healthy for me to continue this habit but I cant keep help it. The modern generation depends much on the use of internet. I use it to communicate, to freely express my thoughts about certain topics and to just have fun. In a simple way, internet makes me happy. That`s what`s important.

For me, the effect of new media is neutral. I mean there`s positive and negative effects. In the positive side, internet exposes me to various people around the globe, how they live, their point-of-views, culture and a whole lot more. Because of the internet, I was able to discover more about myself and who I want to become in the near future. On the contrary, internet also is a medium for others to influence people with their bad habits. Their is the existence of pornographic sites, hacking, piracy, cyberbullying and even cybersex. It is in our hands if we will choose to be affected by these kinds of sites. As for me, I use the internet for good purposes. I am not taking it for granted. I choose to use it in the right way because I have my principles and I  am an educated person with morals and dignity.

Internet or the new media is like a new world. A new dimension wherein people are not separated by races, culture or beliefs. It is a world where everyone is equal. Each opinion is respected. Each person is rightful of whatever he or she wants everyone to know. It is our choice if we will live our cyberlives for good or for not. 

Week 7: Raindrops from heaven.

What I usually do during cold, lonely, rainy days is to sleep. Probably because its an opportunity to finally enjoy a long, priceless nap in your warm bed covered with comfortable sheets and pillows. I mean, who doesn`t want to have rest after all the stress you`ve been through every single day. Right? But of course, I don`t spend days of free time just to waste them. I also use them for self entertainment purposes. I download a lot of foreign movies I like, wait for it to complete its downloading process, then grab something to eat and drink and watch the awesome movies. I find it entertaining and fun although I watch these movies alone. Recently, I already watched The Vow, 21 Jump Street, Captain America, and Forever waiting. It took me around 4-5 hours to completely download all these movies, then I watch them whenever I feel like watching them. Other than watching movies, I also like to practice using Photoshop. These are the times when I feel like I need to do a vector art and its like my mind says It`ll be fun to have another vector to add to my works.


My rainy day activities usually depend on my mood. Sometimes I`m happy and I dance around the room a lot and play really loud, dance-y music. Sometimes, I`m sad and just sit around, drink hot chocolate, play random music from my favorite artists and surf the net. People think rainy days are sad and boring. But for me, its not. Its just another day. Another gift from God. I like how people say that the rain represents blessings from heaven. It makes me feel like I`m really blessed with all the things I have right now. My family, friends, relatives, teachers, classmates, and everyone I meet that becomes a part of my life. People who inspire me and motivate me to be a better person and to continue whatever I`m doing as long as it makes me happy.

Rain also reminds me that life will always try to bring the best out of ourselves. Just like what Jackie Chan said in one of his movies, The Karate Kid, " Life will knock us down. What matters is how we choose to get back up." We can always find a way to solve things out. There are never ending possibilities if we believe in ourselves. Life is not always sunny. There are times when storms are coming to test us. Just believe you can and trust Him. There`s always a rainbow after the rain. :D
