Silent are the Halls
By Kara L. The halls have stayed the same though now with an emptier feeling. There is still laughter and voices but it falls silent to my ears. I look down the halls, these halls that holds four of my life’s years, and see the same hall with a different feel. The hall stays the same like the memories made in them but today, the people who had made them are scarce and unseen. Silent are the...

FACE OFF: Not the Typical Reality Show
I HARDLY watch TV nowadays but shows like Top Model and Project Runway are still some of my guilty pleasures (when I have the chance of catching up). I admire the artistry behind these shows. Often, I’m more interested in the photoshoots or the final look the contestants are able to produce in such a short amount of time than the drama. I love the technicalities and I admit thats what...

Peter Jackson Talks About 48 Film Speed →
Jackson said he hopes there will be a fair number of theaters equipped with digital projectors that can handle the faster film speeds by December, when Warner Bros. will release “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first chapter in his two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy classic. (Click the title for more of the article)
I’m such a bad fan. I didn’t realize that...

MANGA REVIEW: My Girl
I just finished all the available chapters to the manga, “MY GIRL” by Sharara Mizu and Yumeka Sumomo. Sadly, this manga (Japanese comic) isn’t completed yet but it has already captured my heart.
The story is of a young man (Masasume) who had a relationship with a girl 4 years his senior while he was in High School. Though he cared for her a lot, she...

A Pleasant Surprise
“When I Fall In Love” is performed by Donna Lynne Champlin as Jane Austen and Laura Osnes as Elizabeth Bennet.
Up to a mere few minutes ago, I was ignorant of the fact that a Pride and Prejudice Musical exists! A fellow book lover, noseinabook, had reblogged “When I Fall In Love” (the song in the video above) and I was hooked!
Donna Lynne Champlin as Jane Austen,...

Book Review: Beyonders: A World without Heroes by Brandon Mull
“So many misconceptions surround the notion of heroism. Far too many categorize a hero as a champion on the battlefield, a commander of legions, a master of rare talent or ablity. Granted, there have been heroes who fit those descriptions. But many men of great evil as well. Heed me. A hero sacrifices for the greater good. A...

Thinking of entering a video contest.
Screencap of the narration I’m thinking of entering.
Just happened to see a poster for a local video contest which got extended. It’s accepting entries from undergrads. I might be graduating soon but I did make the films for my subjects as an undergrad so I think it still fits in the rules.
A still from my thesis, a video documentary on Bacolod’s Chicken Inasal.

Reuniting with my tablet and scanner tomorrow.
Will hopefully work on the art requests I’ve received so far as well as the drawings that have been building up.

I also need to utilize my library card a lot more.
Are there any books that have piqued your interest, but you’re wary of picking them up in fear of wasting 500 pages’-worth of your life?
Send us the title in our ask! I’ll (and I’m sure Kara would be too, once she finishes her own reading list, haha) be happy to be your guinea pig and write you a review.

Books and More Books
Originally posted on my personal blog
These were some of the books I planned to read over the holidays. I finished the two on top but haven’t gotten the “urge” to read Anne McCaffery’s Changlings or the last book of the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon series) by Paolini. That being said, I still couldn’t help but buy two more books today.
Originally, I asked my mom...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HELLO 2012!
For the first time in my 20 years on earth, I spent New Year outside of my home. In some countries, it might be normal to go out on New Year’s Eve but with the fury of fireworks around here… one would wisely think twice.
I attended our city’s first New Year Countdown at the New Government Center. They had a lot prepared like a light show bands, and dancers. The fireworks was...

WELCOME! TO...
I am happy to announce the opening of a collab blog between myself and one of my best friends, Pajie.
I wanted to start a blog where I could post my art-related thoughts and creations in a more customized space online. I also wanted to improve on my skills as an artist through a more interactive way. I dragged Paj into this as a way of giving her skills as a writer a challenge and give the blog...
