My Plates

in continuation with my art labels here are some of my plates back when i was in college, some of you might be probably wondering, yes i did took up architecture but it was too much for me so i made a 180 degree turn and continued being a commerce student, i know drawing is in my blood but too much stress and the late nights is not for me, so for now I'm sketching, freelance.

My Final Fantasy

One of my fondest memories growing up is playing video games, Back when i was little i used to play on my Nintendo's Family Computer (i bet some of you remember that particular early console) and some of the many cartridges (yes, we call them cartridges) i used to play are Contra, Ice Climber and of course who could ever forget Super Mario, and as years go by my gaming instinct still searches for more, until when i was in college have i discovered a game that became a big part of my life.

The second installment of the Final Fantasy Franchise (the first was Final Fantasy 7) Final Fantasy 8 was released 1999 directed by Yoshinori Kitase developed by Square Co., Ltd. it was a dream come true to play this wonderful game. I quickly became attached to the the many characters of the game particularly the main character himself, Squall Leonheart. The game revolves around issues such as war, friendship, family and Love which is why the game became a complete success.

I can never get enough of this fantastic game so thats why I'm giving it a special tribute here, thanks to TheBigLT of Youtube i managed to find this video consisting of the first 11 cutscenes of the game:

1. Opening (Liveru Fatali)
2. Quistis
3. Balamb Garden
4. Zell Dincht
5. Dollet Assault
6. Selphie Tilmitt
7. The Communication Tower
8. Robot Chase (part 1)
9. Robot Chase (part 2)
10. Rinoa Heartilly
11. Rinoa and Squall at the Dance

This is just Part 1 of the 7 compiled cutscenes from Final Fantasy 8 game, and now i leave you with the most famous quotes from the beginning of the game:

"I'll be here..."
"Why...?"
"I'll be 'waiting'... here..."
"For what?"
"I'll be waiting... for you...so... if you come here... you'll find me."
"I promise."

My Former Blog Site

i was just rummaging through my FS (Friendster) applications when it hit me, what happened to it? was it deleted or anything like that? so i have to see for myself.

it was still there all right, nothings changed, no activities, not even comments but to hell, it was still there. I'm still surprised as i read through my entries, can't even imagine i wrote all of it, (actually not all, some of them are excerpts and contributions from people i know, some are from my friends) i even did an online journal, so much sentiments and emotions well enough of that.

published some of my written works, from poems, essays, short stories and some random things that come to my mind, either from personal experiences or from work (majority from it are due to stress related issues).

it was sentimental, it was my first, everything i put in it was me, the real me. the different side of me. The Unknown Shade.

and for those of you who want to experience my humble beginnings as a blogger fell free to visit: http://unknown-shade.blog.friendster.com and for those who have, thanks. will keep on posting.

i went up to Baguio yesterday and i was so flustered with all that was happening, its been so long since i went back, years i think? the hell with the long traffic due to a land slide kakainis talaga we have to go through different streets just to make up for the lost time luckily the taxi driver was so intuitive but unfortunately it was too late, so nothing else to do but go back home and when it seemed everything else feels wrong it started to rain so we waited long enough under a shed for an empty taxi, it was a long and tiring day. can't say no more.

Too Bad

So sorry for the long gruesome wait, i was just waiting for the right material to post, don't want to bother readers with senseless things, but today is a little different because today i just found out that a great blogger has posted his last entry last May 12 here on Blogspot. Its so sad that he has to go, taking all with him his entries, but on the lighter side it was probably for the best because now he has his very OWN domain and it looks great, for those of you who wants to see his new and improved site its located at www.planetmarkus.com, and for Mark Rosario, good luck on your new site and more readers. Cheers!

Twisted Girl

I was just looking through some videos on you tube when the radio behind me (listening to radio while using the computer at the same time, lol) played a random song which I instantaneously recognized. It was from a group called Take That from 1996 i presume and the song actually was a revised version (can't remember who did the original). What i love about this video is the twisted side of it, didn't know how it began but all i know is this girl is one hell of a psycho, kind of reminds me of the music video of Pink if you know what I'm talking about. Anyway its worth publishing and i hope you like it cause i sure am, definitely a classic. enjoy!

i was kind of wondering what happenned to them (Take That)???

i remember now who did the original, i think i was the BeeGees
