Happiness

If you were to choose, what would you rather have, success or happiness? Our English teacher once told us to do an activity and present to the class the reasons why did we choose one. Surprisingly, almost all of the groups chose success over happiness.

Conversely, we are the only group in the class to choose happiness. It doesn’t matter because everyone in the class are free to give opinions and we have our own opinions. For me, I’ll stick to what we chose. To start with, what do you really mean by happiness? Happiness maybe everywhere. You can find it anytime you want. There are different kind of happiness for different kinds of people. When I was a child, I used to be happy whenever there are gifts on my birthday, when classes are suspended, when there are holidays and when I watched my favorite cartoon T.V. shows.

However, as I got a little older, my type of happiness changed. I’m happy when I got to know new acquaintances, I’m happy joining extra curricular activities. I discovered, I’m happy doing artworks, and I decided to be an art club member because I’m happy with it. At the same time, I’m happy having some group of friends. There would never be a dull moment when we were all together./ I’ve enjoyed my high school life to the fullest.

Eventually, now that I know I’m not getting any younger, my happiness would be as simple as it can be. Just to know my family will be safe will already make me happy. Just as all the things are flowing smoothly and we’re all surviving is now alright to me. Now, there would be no gifts anymore that will make me happy than to see my parents happy. I enjoyed my everyday life as it is today and I don’t want to worry for the future. I can found happiness now on ordinary days.

To sum it up, it’s up to us people to find ways that will make us happy. It just depend on your kind of living. We are all free to choose and happiness is the most important thing that will make our lives here worth living.

looking out

Take a moment to think about what delights you and the pleasure you get that comes from the view out of your window. I always enjoy the views outside the window whatever season it may, it will drive your mood for the end of the day.

Presently, the window overlooked the field. Old trees graced the building as the students passed by. It’s a hot afternoon, you know how grade school like to enjoy the fresh air and the excitement that going outside affords. They played around as if the place is like their big play ground. For those of my age, it’s a group of friends and colleagues that they’d got familiar with. Right now, I’m looking for a little pause. One can sit in silence  with me, relax in an easy chair and join me enjoying the beauty outside this window. Perhaps we can share stories we remember a bit and we will both say this is a good day. How wonderful it is to be alive to see different places. It seems all the burdens of life will no longer much to bare.

For all that, it is just so nice to take a break and look at the window for some moments. What amazes me is the ease of feeling it gives for everyone who may wants to sit here and look at all the views the eyes can see. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a beautiful scene outside our window in order for every person to come up with the right decisions, good mood and a wonderful outlook in life?

Slumdunk

Do you have someone who had never been fond on anime once in his life? Japan had been pioneered this field but it had spread to neighbor countries since it got fans on different sides of the world.

As for me, it was Slamdunk characters that became my favorite. Slamdunk is an anime from Taiwan. I guess Filipinos had loved it because it is in our nature to watch basketball games; PBA, NCAA and UAAP for instance. There is one episode there that I can recall, the episode focuses on  Sakuragi, he is a comic relief on every episode but the star player was Rukawa. Every girls in the campus was cheering Rukawa. That morning, Captain Akage on whom Sakuragi’s referred to as “Gorilla” was conditioned for their practice.

Meanwhile, he thought his dream came true when Coach came and he heard Captain Akage telling him to have the ball shooting. To his surprise, Rukawa was first told to do the lay up shot. Sakuragi boasted that he must do the slumdunk but captain insisted that he must do first the basic step. Still, at the back of his mind, he’s great so why he’ll do the basic step. Besides, he knows this was his chance to catch Haruko’s attention. He’s dream girl who’s watching and defending him to all the cheerers laughing at him. So he did the slumdunk instead of lay up. To Captain Akage’s reaction, he slam Sakuragi’s head, as always they end up fighting.

Just as to Sakuragi’s second turn, the ball walked at the tip of the ring board. As usual, he received a big laugh from the students. He threw the ball to Rukawa’s ass and pretend that he didn’t mean it.. Rukawa fight against him and threw the ball to him. At the intense of the fight, Sakuragi threw all the ball in the rack and Rukawa threw the rack on him. Captain stopped them, the next morning, Haruko offered to teach him the lay up which made him jump like a kid.

As a whole, it’s been always a good feeling to watch anime particularly slumdunk episodes. Maybe the wit and the humor that the script contains made the viewers love it. They would always made you laugh to the extent that you feel like being a child again.

An Iphone

I would definitely be the happiest person on earth having the latest device from ipod. With the latest phone of ipod, it seems it’s an all in one purpose. There is only one good reason why will I prefer to have one. All that is important and all that I want in a device is already there.

To begin with, it’s a mobile phone, this is now a necessity for students like us, it’s a video (you can watch tv shows and movies), that will let me enjoy on my past time; a music player, (I don’t think I can live without music) and it has an internet connection that lets you see any web pages anytime, anywhere, For the fact that it features widgets, you can control everything using only your fingers via touch controls or the QWERTY keyboard that corrects mistakes,  It also has google maps which is an apple application where you can view maps or get directions and traffic information,

Moreover, one thing that really amazed me was the proximity sensor that detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent touches on the screen until the phone was moved away. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, not only for the user experience but also saves its power at the same time.

On the whole, for me iphone is not only a desired gadget but also fulfills your needs. In spite of the fact that it costs too much, I would certainly buy that if I will given a chance. Sometimes having gadgets like that are not only a luxury. If you just want to treat yourself for one job you deserved, its not that bad for me to think.

So, anyone would you want to send me for christmas?

Feels like annoying

I earned a lot of experiences and I know I’ll earn more after the school life. In every class, there would always be friendship that will come out as students go along semesters. It’s just so nice to be with persons you laughed with.

It started on my class on minor subject. Two classmates of mine on that class had been my friends, one can easily win my trust, it’s not hard for me to give it. It was our midterm exam on my class before that subject. But I refuse to take the exam and went home because I had a headache, at the same time, there’s an hour and a half vacant before that class. After that, I remember that we have to pass an assignment so I went back to  school for I had finished it earlier that couple of days ago.

Next, one of my classmates approached me burrowing my assignment. I let it and she went out of the room without knowing that she photocopied my assignment. Our professor arrived and we arranged the chairs urgently for the exam. The assignments are passed just when my classmate arrives. I didn’t get the chance to talk to her after she passed the assignments because she had left the room after answering the test questions. The next meeting, she told me that our professor talked to her about that and she refused to say anything. My professor said that she still wait for her explanation the next meeting. My classmate told me that she will take all the consequences. She took several absences after that and never talked to my professor again. I thought I just have to save my grades. What else can I do when the harm was done already?

Then finals came, we’re still casual as friends, she still approached me with three of us friends knowing it. I had received a passing grade on that subject and my professor still smiles at me whenever we see each other after that. I didn’t see my classmate anymore until this semester.

To sum it up, I feel bad because I had once lost my professor’s trust though I was really thankful because she didn’t ask for any explanation from me. Above all, the hardest thing to accept was the betrayal of a friend. I will always remember the happy times, and the incident that taught me a lesson. I know I also have a fault, it will not happen if I don’t allow to. I had forgiven him anyway.

Adobe Photoshop versus Corel Draw

There’s a clash nowadays between Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Corel Draw X3, These days, Adobe Photoshop was commonly taught on Fine Arts students than Corel Draw. Younger generations of graphic artists prefer Adobe Photoshop more than Corel Graphic Suite as their medium for digital design. But let’s face it at the Corporate World, companies in our industry most often uses Corel Draw X3 to create more intricate images for packaging, logos, etc. Experienced graphic artists expertise on Corel Draw and also maybe because that was what they’ve learned to.

Let’s just weight things between these two:

For all we know, Adobe Photoshop is great for making digital photos artistic. It has also shapes and curve tools and you can skew, rotate depends on what image you want to portray. There’s filter tab for painting techniques (eg. palette knife, sketch, cut out pencil, fresco) and you can blend colors for photographic effects.

On the other hand, Corel Draw X3 gives us more flexibility for art professionals, Corel gives more freedom in the image you want to come up with. Though it’s more difficult to use (I mean Photoshop can be grasp by ordinary individuals a lot easier without being less artistic in just one click). They can transform ordinary photos to fantastic result. Corel Draw gives it more on professional way.

After all, what counts more is now, there are several tools to use in the creative world.
