Gnothi Seauton

Gnothi Seauton by all means "Know Thyself". I am reading this book of Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth and I was deeply mesmerized by how sort of a whimsical effect it brought me. I can't say that it brought major changes in my life but it does however causes some shift to my mindset. You may categorize this book to a "self-help" book, but who cares? Everyone needs help. Right now, just before heading to school tomorrow I have to finish this one. The fact is, I am quite proud of myself because I was able to finish 4 books this summer, yay! Kudos for my relentless enthusiastic desire for books. Too bad I won't be able to read more this school year. Anyway, that will even make it more exciting.

I am actually trying to squeeze everything I want to do on this day. Tomorrow is the first day of my life so I have to make the most out of it this day. Good thing is, we don't have classes every Monday so good for me and my body. Here are the things that I've actually able to pull off this summer:

1. A moment ago, I just finished giving my filthy room a major clean-up. I want everything to be prep up before school starts. :)

2. I think, I have done my job as a good and caring big sister for taking care of my baby sis. Waking up really early in the morning, singing nursery rhymes to her, and the list goes on. :))

3. I have once again memorized all the nursery rhymes and even those childish songs from far away, courtesy of my baby sis. Itsy Bitsy Spider, went up the water spout, lalala.

4. I have learned how to Photoshop! Finally, after nights of devoting prayers, I have finally learned it. It was quite amazing the joy Photoshop brought me and the credits I get from the people. Check out my MULTIPLY.

5. I surprisingly made 3 multiply lay-outs from my friends, I owe it to Photoshop a lot! But sad to say, though I want to learn the CSS and Text Pattern, I wasn't able to do so 'cause its like a different language. haha.

6. I manage to read 4 books this summer though the last one is still on pending but I will finish it later. Ken Follett's Pillars, World and Dangerous Fortune and Tolle's A New Earth. Love all those books.

7. Out with my friends. I have been on MOA with Carlota, my bestfriend visiting me in my house and have some movie marathon. Its just wonderful!

8. I also spent some time alone, whether at home or alone watching movies in the cinema. I never thought I'd enjoy it. hahaha.

9. Visit my old piano pieces. Too bad I wasn't able to have my regular piano practice now and my dream of playing Liebestraum in piano seems impossible, at least for now.

10. Time with La Salle people. I am now part of the Biology Program Council in La Salle, so I got to spend 1/8 of my summer in school. I enjoy their company so much.

Tomorrow will be the start of everything. I will be delve once more in stress, pressure and misery. And I won't promise that I will be able to post on this blog regularly. But I will really try. Besides, writing seems to a good way to ESCAPE everything.

Photo-shop, Photo-graphy, etc.

The world is just teeming with insolent, rude, impertinent, selfish, stupid, annoying, self-centered, egotistic human beings! But let me tell you, I am a kind of Homo sapiens who doesn't like to fight over the smallest squabbles and stupidities, but right now I am boiling 100 degrees. I have reached my boundary and I can't take it no more. You are trying to unleash my rage and wrathfulness which I seldom show to people, then you will get what you want! I am quite in my leisure and you might be shocked on what I can do. HAHAHA!

Whew! That's just too much. On the brighter side of my life, I am currently distracting myself in editing photos. Luckily after too much delayed I already installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 in my laptop. Mind you Photoshop is not an easy task, I am quite in the phase of reading Dummies for Photoshop because I quite literally suck on it. Before photoshop I edit photos on Picnik and but due to my unquenching demands, I want to do something more professional and decided to be a Photoshopper. Its really complicated but I am really trying to do my best. Lately, I have been fascinated with photography, though I only use pipichuging camera, I really love taking stuffs. I'll swear that if ever I am earning millions and millions of bucks, I will purchase a good one. Oh well, but I think this will pass.


I just want you to show some of my stuffs. They are randoms actually, from Picnik and Photoshop, feel free to criticize, I am willing to bear with it :D

Personally, I really adore this, not that it's my
work but it shows how I want to achieve them.
