Noomie Doodles

I love looking at sketches made by bloggers online. Since there are a hundredfold of illustrations and graphics on Tumblr and We Heart It, I became more fascinated with the wonderful world of art. Even though I am no expert in drawing, whenever I doodle I take inspiration from those works. 

Thanks to a site (who unfortunately I’ve forgotten), I discovered Noomie Doodles because it was featured in one of its posts. When I visited her site, I was impressed with the vividness of the colors and strokes Noomie (the artist) exhibited through her illustrations. I would check back her doodle site for new works ever since my discovery. Noomie Doodles, you’ve found a new fangirl in me. 

Here are some of her sketches:

Work In Progress: Lana Del Ray

I’m not a big fan of her music but her face is such an eyecandy. I seriously don’t mind looking at her all day. I might be able to finish this sketch if I knew what to do with the hair. 

P.S. To that anonymous coward who said I’m not good at sketching. Post yours and let’s see who’s work is better. Talk is cheap. 

My One Regret

Stupid me for not begging my old teachers and younger friends for bandfest tickets :/

I simply don’t know when will I ever see my HS friends again. The last time I saw them was in UST Paskuhan last December but I only got to be with a few of them because of the crappy signal. The CWTS class in the afternoon hindered me from meeting up with them during my alma mater’s Family Day last October. If not for that schedule, I would have enjoyed that Saturday treasuring moments that would last a lifetime. Honestly speaking, it really made me sad looking at my batchmates’ stats and photos on Facebook about how much fun they had on that day while I sat in the classroom and planned for the next phase of our NSTP module all this time. I don’t even know when would be the next party with all of my HS friends invited so we could get ourselves a proper reunion. First I didn’t get to come to Family Day last year because of CWTS class, and now I’m sitting erect in my bed remorsing about failing to see SE11ORS for the nth time in Fiat Lux (school bandfest). FYI, this year was the first time I didn’t attend the bandfest since sophomore year in 2008. 

Tomorrow I would forcibly begrudge on people making Facebook posts related to Fiat Lux. It looks like I’ve just missed half of my life. Kidding. I would have to bear the burden of seeing everyone reuniting after God knows when. I swear to myself I am going to do everything just to see them again. I hope the big man upstairs is reading my mind right now, thinking of bigger and better plans for me so I could get to be with the girls I’ve been with since we were in pastel-colored uniforms. 

I am not losing hope. I guess all things work together for good. Maybe there is a reason why I didn’t get to attend tonight’s school event; there would be something that would make everything more memorable and worthwhile that won’t make me regret every second of it. 

LEAP + Malate

Monday, January 30

LEAP (Lasallian Enrichment Alternative Program) registration day for all Lasallians! This year goes down as the first time for us freshmen to enroll in an alternative class as part of University Week from February 13 to 17. Oddly enough, LEAP will be held on February 14 this year. Yes kids, LEAP is onValentine’s Day! This is one fact that I’d be trolling around because I have to spend V-Day on a date with Hataw Hiphop 101 and with my uber friends :) 

Because my friends and I enrolled an hour later than 90% of the Lasallian student population, we weren’t able to get a slot in the highly-coveted alternative classes such as Laser Tag, wall-climbing, and cooking. I wanted fashion blogging but the slots were filled so I thought of Modelling 101. But I didn’t want to take part in my first LEAP without my friends so I joined the bandwagon and looked for a class that we would really enjoy. Now that’s how we got HH 101 as our LEAP.

At 11PM, I was long asleep when one of the editors of Malate Literary Folio texted me. It was only 2AM when I learned of the message, but I didn’t read it until I got to HUMALIT class that morning. According to the Malate staffers, if you get a text that only means you qualified for one of the sections there - which I did. I made Prose as my first choice of section while Marketing and Events as second. In a bizarre twist, I got in my second choice! Well at least I got in ;) 

So for the third time in a row I won’t be spending free day on a Wednesday. For the past two Wednesdays, I attended a Comic-Con and took the ITEO exam. Although it would make me lose some of my weekly allowance, at least Wednesdays aren’t for bumming around the house and doing nothing but surf the Net and watch movies. This afternoon I will be going to school for the MLF General Assembly and initiation for the new members from 2-8 PM. I’m actually hyped and nervous about it because of the initiation (which I heard would be mind-blowing). It would be also the first meeting as an official Malate staffer. 

1/28: Happy Saturday

It was our second CWTS exposure in Brgy. Dagat-Dagatan, Purok 2, Caloocan as part of our NSTP-C2 subject. Before heading to Harrison Plaza where everyone is supposed to meet, I met up with Monzie at Quirino LRT station and went there together. When we hopped inside the jeep, we munched on Double Stuff Oreos and planned on our gimmick that afternoon. Since the two of us were assigned to teach two Grade 5, one Grade 3 and one Grade 4 student, we were cramming with our lesson modules. Fortunately for us, the kids wanted to review more on Math (their favorite subject!) before moving on to Language Arts. That morning we had was really fun because the kids were fast-learners and loved to share what’s on their minds. We even asked them to draw their favorite things! At 11:30, the whole CWTS section returned to the day care center to assemble before going back to school. We all arrived at 1:30 PM, an hour earlier than last week. Monzie, Kev and I immediately went to the Yuch bathrooms to dress up since we didn’t want to gimmick all covered in sweat and looking greasy :> After meeting up with Tisha and Monzie’s boyfie at U-Mall, we went straight to the LRT station to go to Trinoma. FYI, that day was the first time I went there since August 2010 because I rarely go there due to inconvenience and at the same time, distance. 

The five of us had lunch at the foodcourt then went to the cinema to watch Underworld: Awakening. However, Monzie already saw the movie so she strolled around with her guy to look for a gift for her mom’s birthday. Simply put, Kev, Tisha and I were the ones left to watch the adrenaline-rushing action movie while munching on our Taters popcorn ;) The movie ended at 5PM and waited for them to meet us up but the Globe network signal was horrid the texts I received were delayed by 30 minutes. LOL. So that remained the three of us chilling in Powerbooks. Eventually, we weren’t able to meet them again because of the stupid Globe and everyone was running late so we went straight home. 

Thankfully, everything was fine by Monday. The four of us blamed Globe for ruining our meet-up plans :/
