3D Arts Over the Years – Celebrate 3December With Your Story

By self studying 3d modelling without formal education about it, I managed to improve my works through time. Had it not for my passion, dedication, discipline, family and friends, I would not have the inspiration to continue.

Thanks all.

28 Days Later

No, this isn’t some sort of a freak movie of zombies overrunning the city. 28 days later rather is the day we will be probably turned into zombies ourselves!! Actually, 28 days later is our thesis project checking, that’s even more scarier!

You’d be wondering I’ve still got the time to post in here. Well, this is just one of my resting times that I badly needed after hours and hours of coding. It’s probably already a common practice. When  you’re not in the zone, don’t code, or you will just produce garbage output. But still, I’ve got to be ‘in the zone’ frequently or else, shattered dreams and broken hearts! Anyway, let’s hope our client or stakeholders cooperate well with us.

Now to see the brighter side of things, what if we do succeed on the project checking, and eventually pass the course! Then all my plans will start to unfold. Yes, I’ve already made a list of things to do ‘right after’ the thesis is done. The top list:

1.) Subscribe to a webhosting company. Webfaction or Hostgator?

2.) Start building my portfolio of websites by, well, making websites on the above’s choice. What those websites will be and how they are run is top secret, you know, trade secret.

3.) Start marketing those websites using SEO techniques I’ve learned throughout my freelancing time! What those techniques are are also trade secret!

4.) Advance my knowledge in the web development world and start focusing on one or two specific language and framework(s). This is what we call, personal branding. This way, I can then raise my price.

5.) Collect certifications! YEY!

6.) Do what I do best. Make 3d models and sell them online!

7.) This is rather less priority. Make video games using known GDKs such as Unreal Dev Kit.

 

This is just the start of everything, the foundation of a software giant hahahahha.

But as of now, I’ll just have to study hard or harder, and make sure our thesis makes it in time, as well as everything else. I’ll be back then..

Thesis Proposal Accepted!

Wow, at last. After all those long hardwork, all those sleepless nights spent instead into polishing up our documents and our knowledge about the topic at hand. All those non-stop argue and mock questions just to toughen up our skills and our know-how about the system, so that we’d be ready with the ‘defense’.

After many many days of preparation and strategy layouting, we came up with a 105 page document. This is as good as it can get, we’d put everything to it.

And now, the proposal defense was a success! Almost every question and inquiry was already covered in our document, and it almost seems like there’s nothing else to discuss, as it’s all there, and also our wonderful presentation, thanks to our adviser Engr. Aaron Maderazo who taught us to present as if we’re presenting to consumers or investors, rather than do a lecture and bore them all.

All hardwork we’re repaid! After all the minor revisions area accomplished, we can push through the implementation. This is where it will really start…

Lost Hope

You’re just making fun to what I say, you do not even pay close attention. Do I still have to expect something? Or you have already planned for everything, that there will just be a dead end..

What a Freak

This first semester, is my second to the last semester to graduation! And right now, I am a subject known as Philo 36. Yeah, it’s about ethics and it’s cool. But guess what! Our teacher comes in too freaking on time! Well anyways, most teachers come on time. But most teachers check the attendance 15 minutes later, giving some allowance. But this one, checks the attendance right after he gets in! Our class is 7:30. If by 7:31 he notices that many are late, he readily gives quizzes! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Bleak Future

How many times have we wished together, dreamed together, that it will always be you and me, from this day forward. Yes, we have had some arguments, cat fights, but still we held on and our bond became stronger.

But you dreamed of a steady, stable and worry free married life with someone who understands things the way you are used to, what I mean is, someone who has the same faith as you are. You are afraid to change, or at least adapt to something else, to something more, which I tried to explain to you, but I’m afraid, in vain.

I have a life guiding principle, that I will be always bearing the Name of the one true God. It’s not that I am just a fanatic to our religion. All my life, I want to keep our distinction as witnesses. Let’s say, I would have wanted to adapt to your religion. Well there’s no problem if when I convert, I’m allowed to remain a witness to that Holy Name, but I am not. I have to be stripped off with that opportunity, therefore violating my life principle. That is why, I have to seek refuge to a religion that allows and encourages members bear witness to God’s name and at the same time, be a Christian.

Would you want to do the same? Would you want to be a witness to God’s name too? Or do you want to live a life of material prosperity and stability without feeling any obligation to God at all? I hope you do the former.

Before you go, know this, that I have always thought of the future with you, always. I hope when you think of your future, that I am also in the picture. You knew how much u meant to me.

Soothing Music

Music is a way of expressing feelings. They convey the composer’s thoughts, changes the ambience of the room, guides the mind into a specific state of thinking. Today, I experienced it once again, after about 1 or 2 years.

I’ve been searching the net for free music streaming for linkinpark. Logged in to IMEEM, but all their music are all previews, no full versions. I understand, copyright. I continued searching for other songs because maybe I’ll find interesting ones. Then I started searching with the keyword “piano version”, the usual keyword I use when searching for music since I am a fan of instrumental music, especially piano since I play piano myself.

Finally found interesting music. From final fantasy series piano instrumental music, “Eyes on Me”, “Tifa’s Theme”, and so on, and then Rurouni Kenshin musical pieces, most are orchestrated while some are piano. Listened to “Departure”, and “Her Most Beautiful Smile”, the song I’ve searched for so long, finally found it. It’s the theme music in the episodes where Kenshin Himura of Samurai X was blinded by Amakusa’s Sword. The ‘her’ in “her beautiful smile” maybe refer to Lady Magdalia, the child sword prodigy Shogou Amakusa’s sister. This is a very great musical piece, it soothes me.

Searched through google for piano sheets of these amazing pieces, finally found some at http://ichigos.com/sheets/r. After 1 or 2 years, I finally get to have my hands on my keyboards again, piano keyboards. Although I am already rusty, I just need some hand exercises to regain my skills, thanks to my parents who sent me to piano school at an early age. They also sent me to a guitar school. I also do drums and flute but have not formal training, just self taught.  Playing the piano  is one of the nicest thing to do, or listening to piano music soothes the soul.

Have a piece of music too, have a good day to all.

The First of the Many To Come

Last June 9 was one of the most important days of our lives. It is such a very special occasion that I celebrated with my significant other. I am very thankful that we got this far. With all the support of our friends, we made it. I hope that this will just be one of the many more to come in our lives and that no one will stand in our way, but instead let us through. Happy Anniversary to both of us.

New Things to Learn this Semester

Thesis officially starts now. As our previous mentors shared to us, our learning curve during this semester “should” be exponential. This is to make sure our thesis is of professional quality, a breakthrough, and cannot be distinguished as school work. Its quality should be enough that it can be sold. 

So let’s put our gears on. We are used to these kind of pressures anyway, to learn everything, all at once. 

I am kinda embarrassed to say that at this point in time, I’m still new to ASP, much more to . NET framework. ASP is not much that of a difference with JSP which we are used to program with. But implementing it with .NET, I do not know how it would look like. But for thesis or not, it is very much geared towards web development, a really cool trend nowadays for telecommuter workers. Telecommuting means that the work is done at home, any time you want, anywhere, as long as you meet the deadlines.

Another thing, for my personal project, is to learn ZBrush! I love sculpting, traditionally, or digitally. It is also a lucrative skill to have, since it will allow you to enter the gaming or video industry by making characters or organic 3D models.

How about you, do you already have a plan or a checklist on what to learn this time?
