  • Movies: Prometheus (Spoilers)

    Well that was unexpected.

  • During College Feels

    They whisper, as if it’s a well-worn horror story, the word:  “College.”  And you might gasp out: YES! (for all the parties, the forgiving schedule, the orgs, the boys, the opportunities). Or NO! (for the pressures, the burden, the heartache and late nights). But mostly you might say I DON’T KNOW? (because you don’t know…

  • Movies: Men In Black 3 (I guess there’re spoilers?)

    Eh. Well. It was okay (supposedly better than Snow White and the Huntsman, though I still have to watch that one to find out).

  • Art and mah life: Figure Drawing

    It’s as if my tries at drawing actual people are becoming a metaphor for my life. It starts out wonky, then bearable, and then finally it progresses to low levels of open-mouthed sad faces.  Lol. (Note the lack of male body attempts. This is because WHY ARE THERE SO MANY MUSCLES WHY.)  I should probably…

  • Paint: Happy Mothers’ Day!

    This made me (re)realize a couple of things: First, I really don’t know how to paint anything resembling a straight line. Second, I want a tablet for digital painting. Sigh. Third, scanning brings out the unique texture of the canvas.  Fourth, I love my mom.

  • Before College Feels (Part I?)

    Called the Unknown The seed which must grow Will first leave the sower’s hands To brave the tempest, … HELLO.  So far my “preparation” for college has involved house-hunting, enrollment and supply (singular) buying. I AM EXCITED to fail my first test. Apparently the subjects are all challenging, and the course itself is a tough road…

  • Book Review: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

    Book Review: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

    (This is a very long post masking as a review.) Title: Brave New World Author: Aldous Huxley Book Summary: “A fantasy of the future which sheds a blazing, critical light on the present –considered to be Aldous Huxley’s most enduring masterpiece.”  

  • BOOKS/COMICS/WOAH

    Isn’t this just exciting? :)  Also, I finally finished reading Huxley’s Brave New World. After several months, the case of a missing book, donating to the library and finding a Php 60.oo copy in Booksale, I have finally reached its end.  Once again, a dystopian classic depressed me. I will ‘revisit’ (get it?) it in…
