Resolution so far + school + DD!

Sat May 30, 2009, 9:58 AM
I've been trying to keep up with that resolution that I made in my previous entry. I know I wasn't able to take much while interning, but I did when my interning was about to end! Haha. XD

Lately, I made a light tent for further photography + lighting practice at home. It's been going great so far, and I have Mr. Darren Rowse to thank for coming up with the genius idea of the DiY light tent (and the tutorial provided in the link!), and Kat ~liberti for introducing the idea to me, as well as the inspiration to create one and putting my heart into it. :)

I posted some shots I took, which you can view in my gallery. There's still a lot more I can do, I know, but for now, that's what I've been coming up with. Expect more, as I'm in the process of experimenting!

School is starting soon for us here. Half of me is dying to go back to school, half of me is still screaming SUMMER VACATIONNNNNN. I'm partly nervous because it's thesis year! But over the summer, I was able to think of at least one thing I may propose for my thesis. I got hooked onto the idea, and I really hope it's what I'll be doing eventually for my final year of schooling!

Internship at Leo Burnett Manila was great! The people are awesome, the atmosphere was great, and the experience is beyond words. It's hard to sum up into few sentences the things I learned. I'll just leave it to my creative outputs for the months and years to come to share with you all the things I picked up, both work and non-work related. (:

Speaking of school, I was able to hang out with my old high school barkada this evening, and I had a blast! I can't believe it's been that long since we were all together out on a rainy night in Eastwood. I missed it so much, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to hang out with them again. (: I'm looking forward to more of that - we have so much to catch up on!

When I came home this evening, I was wondering why my inbox was suddenly exploding, from about 42 messages to 344. I noticed that most of it were faves, and they were all faves of my Disney alphabet. I later found out that it was suggested for a Daily Deviation, and...it's now a Daily Deviation. XD

Thank you so much to :iconalska: for suggesting it, and to :iconsander-seto: for featuring! :heart: It never occurred to me that I'd get a DD, let alone for one of my works that I especially treasure, so it was a really splendid surprise for me when I got home from a tiring but great evening - it made today all the more excellent!

The A to Z of Disney Movies holds a special place in my heart, mostly because I spent a lot of time working on it - from thinking of the characters, to the poses, to the actual execution. I put a lot of heart into it, and Disney is something I really love. This was actually a final project for school back in second year, and we were required to make it into a little alphabet book. The book is here at home, and I intend to keep it and give it to my kids one day. (:

Thank you to everyone who left comments, who faved, featured it in their sites, and to everyone who just really appreciate it. :heart: It means a lot to me that this made you smile, made you remember your favorite Disney movies, or made you decide to get into Disney more. It's always nice hearing comments like, "Oh, you did Mulan, I love her!" or "Cool! I recognized all of them!" or "Alice is my favorite!" - it makes me feel like I did something for the world, no matter how small. Thank you everyone for your support. :heart:

A very cheesy thank you, but that's how much I appreciate this gesture.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sun on ripened grain
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I do not die

Haha, thanks again, I appreciate the immense amount of support from everyone - it helps me gain more confidence as an artist, and to create more works to share with the world. :)

Oh school...it seems so long ago...One part ends and another part begins in college for me. I'm a bit nervous for my first year, I'm so used to seeing all my friends in school but it's going to be a fun experience I bet and hope.

I saw your A to Z of Disney Movies for the first time and I must say I'm throughly impressed!! You did a great job with it and it turned out awesome. And it's even better if you've got the patience for it. I most definitely...would no have ^^; Congrats on your DD!!!

personally, I think that getting into the front page popular section doesn't necessarily mean you did well in a particular piece. it could be just possibly that you found a popular theme.

getting a DD, however, shows something.XD congrats!

Hmm...that reminds me that I have yet to go through the stuff in your gallery that you posted before I put you on my watchlist! That disney alphabet is really cool! Great work!

Ahh good luck in the upcoming schoolyear! Hope you do well! :D

Peace Out! ^_^

Haha oh wow. XD That's got to be a lot, then? And thank you! It's one of my favorite works. :)

And guuuh school! I'm excited and terrified at the same time. XD

Haha, I never really bothered with trying to get on the front page - I agree with your point! Hence the term popular, yes?

And this is also why getting a DD was such a big thing for me, especially for something I really put a lot of effort into. XD Thanks, Patts!

College is fun! You get to meet new people, go to new places, gain lots of experience, create new memories, and gain a bit more independence. College has been good to me so far, and I hope it'll be the same for you! Good luck! *thumbs up*

Thank you! I've learned that all it takes is for you to love what you're doing to have the patience for it. It also makes the final outcome more dear to you, and come out better than you initially thought it would. ;)
