#NeonLightsDEMILaunchAtOdyssey was super super fun (more on that on a separate post)!! :)

BUT THE RAFFLE WAS CRAY

I was going for the signed Unbroken poster, but oh my gosh you guys.

I got that huuuuuge portrait/standee of Demi — the grey one!!!!!!!

AHH I SERIOUSLY DID NOT EXPECT THAT OH GLOB

That’s my favorite photo of Demi in DEMI (lol) ‘cause she looks so gorgeous and hot at the same time skjnvfkjvnfkdbjhkjbjboiknoikn

And to think that before the program started, we (me + other Lovatics) were just joking around like, “Can you just imagine that in your room?? Demi’s gonna be looking at you like that when you wake up and go to sleep everyday!!!!”

I ACTUALLY GOT THE PORTRAIT.

NOW DEMI’S GONNA BE IN MY ROOM FOREVER.

I CAN DIE NOW. I’M ALREADY DEAD.

Anonymous asked you: where did you get your adobe software?

My CS is from a CD my mom got (idk where it’s from haha)

Anonymous asked you: why are you so inactive :c 

I know I always promise that I’ll try to be as active as possible.. but meh, I don’t really have so many things to blog about. But maybe, at the end of summer, I’ll post many stuff.  ehehe :(:

Anonymous asked you: You were so close to Lawson!!!!!! Or was it you camera?? 

Hahaha I was really close to them — I was standing at the barricade right in front of the stage. :D And I only used my kit lens (18-55)  yayz I was lucky that day \:D/

Anonymous asked you: Any advice on buying a camera gear? I’m a newbie and this will be my first slr (if ever). I’m hoping to make tipid para sulit purchase. =D

Hi there! I’m not really good at this, but I’ll try…

So, if you’re making your first purchase, better buy an entry-level one (usually below Php 50k / those with XXXXD/XXXD names for canon and DXXXX for nikon). This’ll be a good start if you think you don’t have much experience. I mean, yeah, you can also buy a camera of higher level (600/650D, 60D, 7D, etc.), but then you won’t really be able to use it to its full extent if you’re not yet used to using a dSLR, imo (your dSLR will be pretty much useless if you’re just gonna use the auto mode).

Also, try not to purchase much equipment, unless you really need one. The seller might offer a battery grip, speedlight, or tripod. I suggest you not to buy one, unless you’re going to be in a photo marathon, or you’re gonna focus on strobist photography or landscape photography, etc. Just buy additional equipment if you already know what to focus on. :)

As for lenses, I think it’d be better if you just start with your kit lens… haha idk (do not underestimate your kit lens — it’ll go a long way). A prime is also nice, but then it’s definitely not versatile, and, based on my experience, it can be quite annoying lol. Different lenses (?) have different purposes; the choice is all up to you.

Well, that was long. Hope I helped! ehehe :D

Anonymous asked you: Adam side hugged you wtf :(((((

mhmm I was also lucky that day :)

Who said you can’t be a fan of both 1D and JB?

Made this minimalist shirt design last Friday and had it printed because I was bored, and, you know, I love Joe and Zayn, and it’d be really hard for me to find a store that sells Jonas x 1D shirts, so tadaaa I just made one for myself. What do you think? :)

Anyway, I posted this because I’d just like to say that I’m already accepting a limited amount of shirt design requests! I’m doing this because, well, as I’ve mentioned above, I am bored. Also, I think that by doing this, I’ll be able to ~*practice*~.

Here’s how it works:

• To make a request, just message me here in Tumblr (no anons please!), or DM me in Twitter.
• Please include (specific) details on how you want your shirt to look like in your message. You can also attach a photo or a sketch of a shirt design you want (just link me).
• Also, include your e-mail address in the message.
• I accept any fandom - whether you’re a Jonas fan, Directioner, Lovatic, Swifty, Belieber, etc!
• Once I’m done with your design, I’ll send a high-res copy (PDF) to you via email (if you want, I’ll send a wallpaper format for your twitter/tumblr accounts, too!). Please take note that I will only send you the design; it is already up to you to have it printed onto a shirt. 

I’ll only accept requests until the first week of May. :)

Reminder: I work with minimalist designs (see my other shirt here) and not-so-pro vector portraits. So, if you’re going to ask for a portrait of your idol, it’d look like the one (two?) in the photos above. Yay.

And yeah, I almost forgot to say it’s all free. :)

When the world stops understanding you and you start understanding yourself, remove the phrase ‘giving up’ in your vocabulary.

There are many things that may be running across your mind, but don’t be agitated by what’s happening around you. Start learning to learn yourself even more. Stress will be onto you as you have been notified that the grades in your Junior Year will be critical as these are the basis for your UPCAT and ACET performances. They will inform you that your whole college life depends on these bunch of decimal numbers that you only get to see on a piece of cardboard every quarter, and for consolation (just in case something goes wrong with them), they will tell you that grades are not everything. This everything will be a jumble of mess-related activities in your mind, all pushing themselves in front of you simultaneously.

After that, you will start realizing that there is no truth in what the others are saying that Sophomore Year was the hardest since they worked you up with overloaded units. This time, you know that the subjects can be deceiving:  a 1.5-unit Trigonometry can be really challenging, and before you know it, your 2-unit Chemistry has already taken its toll on you. You will feel like you’re being drowned in an ocean that has no water, and you will then end up being stranded in a desert all by yourself. And in that desert, you will see two objects equally dangerous: an STR subject that’s struggling to claw you inside out just for a simple topic proposal, and a carnivorous subject called Statistics - STR”s forever companion - which will make you grateful for cheat sheets of various formula for ANOVA and T-tests.

Delight yourself in the Lord. Your first ever high school Retreat will prove itself worthy of all the tantalizing requirements in Junior Year. You need a break, after all from these. And of course, a few Junior pranks never hurt - as long as nobody gets hurt either. Stay up late in school, sing out loud in the corridors with a bunch of friends, lay down on the field on a hot school day, “accidentally” break a glassware because you don’t know where your anger will take you (instead you blame your raging teenage hormones). Reflect again and again, with the matching sunset that accompanies your solitude when days seem so bland.

As for your electives, choose from various fields of science or dare yourself into a non-science elective. Push yourself to the limit, as long as it’s not off the cliff. Take Journalism or Creative Writing and write down your heart’s desire. Write plays. Direct. Act. Get involved with current issues and politics. Make a small change. Meet people in and out of the school; befriend them, even if they’re the pedicab drivers or the kid on the other side of the gate. Who knows, maybe there’s not much difference between the two other sides of the road - just a big gate emblazoned with the letters of the prestigious high school.

You will also have your first taste in Prom Asking. Finally, after year of waiting and watching the upper batches, it will be your turn to be mystified and demystified from the wonders of Prom. Break a heart, break your heart, stitch it, mend it back together, misplace yours or others - haven’t they told you that life is a series of trials and errors? Sometimes, there is no exact answer, almost the same as imaginary numbers and irrational ones. Even Math can prove you that.

And of course, appreciate your friends. They come from almost everywhere - from provinces, from private schools, from dorm rooms, from library couches, from behind the shady trees and even from the middle of asphalt and under the heat of the sun. I tell you, they’re quite hard to get.

Love,

A Pisay Alumna
