Painted Fantasy

I sketched this artwork in an index card, scanned it and digitally colored using photoshop... about a year ago. I found it in my archive folders somewhere in my pc and i couldn't believe that i named the uncolored one "fantasy" and the colored one "painted." (That's how i got the title Painted fantasy.hehe) Anyways, this art is just an expression of who am i during my freshmen days in adzu. it has an eaglet as a sign of my immaturity as a collegian. I love music so i had wavy musical stuffs, a guitar and a poor attempt to draw two huge speakers a megaphone. There is a moon which is actually the pattern that we used in our mural painting during the fiesta. I also included emo people because it was my first time to encounter such species. In the lower left corner, there is a scroll with the alibata calligraphy equivalent to my name. I also have my picture somewhere there, peeking out behind the drawings. So much to say but i want the image to speak for itself. Enjoy!!!

I heart Java

if life is a java program what would i do with it?
First, i'll system-dot-out-dot-print-line the words "hello world"
or perhaps "hello hell?", for these are the sweetest words you'll hear
even before your nose starts bleeding.

I would fill the class with destruction, i mean construction (my bad)
and construct the attributes studentClassStanding equals to 70
and the studentFinalGrade to negative 70.
isn't that sweet?

now i could make them suffer, i mean buffer...
a bufferedReader to read the inputfile
and store it to an array
which i will call nameOfStudentsWhoWillFailThisSubject.

After that, i could do a selection sort
or bubble sort to see who passed my criteria.
On my previous sorts, it returned an integer 7
just kidding!....it's actually 2.

Sometimes i store them into a linked list
and do the method studentBleedUntoDeath
with parameter studentNose, i mean studentNode.

And of course i will not let this pass away,
my favorite method, studentTorture(students) .
That's just the basic part of it!

After that, i will make a queue studentRecord
and enqueue them with onlyMeCouldAnswerquizzes
until they dequeue all by themselves.
It's so enjoyable.

I also love to do error-checking
by passing them to a method named noOneShouldPass,
if an error occurs ill throw them,
and catch some Exception named onlyThoseWhoHaveEightyAndAbove.

One school year i evenn had this class
stored them in a doubly-linked list
and i stacked them with lots of variables
named impossibleProgrammingAssignments.

Finally, I had a do-while loop
that will do an increment in studentBrainDamage
while studentsBloodPressure is not equal to zero.

And that's just the start of it.
If you want to have this kind of life just login to www.PrepareYourDeathbed.com
or enroll in the eclass with the enrollment key "killMe".
so what are you waiting for? get a java life and have a return zero!

The Campaign Circus

Currently, I am the Layout Artist and Creative director of the Beacon Newsmagazine in Ateneo de Zamboanga University. Last week, we released the special issue on sanggu elections. Being a layout artist in beacon is my favorite job in my extra-curricular life. Layouting means presswork and presswork means food.haha. It is really fun to layout not only because of munching but the fact that everyone will be looking at your paper and appreciate another beacon work. I also have the creative freedom to choose whichever style i want to use.

In my one year as a layout artist, we never had an experience like what have happened to me during the presswork of this issue. I became a cartoonist!haha. One of our pages really needs an artwork or picture but he had no more time to spare. The EIC requested me to draw some illustration but i was kinda hestitant. It was already 12:30 and I have to go to my next class. Good thing there was no activity so I had time to try drawing. Back at the beacon office I showed my work and they laughed. I was embarrassed but I did not took it seriously. I really wasn't sure on what to feel. Buti na lang malakas ako mang-dedma. Anyways. here is my drawing titled Campaign Circus.

The 13th Month

Discovering SI style for typo..
I made this art for the new year.
I wonder what will happen if the calendar will have a thirteenth month.

In the beginning

How will you know that a child possesses an eye for an artist? During the journalism seminar that i attended at Baguio, last September 2007, i learned one simple fact that could determine whether a child will be an artist or not. It's as simple as 1-2-3. Check out the last three pages (or two) of one of the child's notebook and there you can see his first few masterpieces. The moment i heard it, memories came flashing in my mind: a sheet of paper full of doodles, a family portrait with a house and a tree, u shaped-faces that have small eyes and big heads, a landscape of rice field with a nipa hut and sun peeking between two mountains, etc. During high school this habit went to a new level. I bought a green apple notebook and filled it with random stuff. Poems, comic drawings, ads?, sketches and doodles. Unfortunately i lost the notebook and bid memories goodbye. Drawing became an instrument for me to express emotions and serve as reminder for me of what events or inspiration that came to me. This is artistry for me.
