Everyone wants to go to Beijing for 2008 Olympics!
Grabe nakaka inggit talga ang mga taong may chance to witness the incoming olympics. Naku dati pa fan na ako ng olympics kahet wala ako masyadong alam sa ibang sports dun. hehehe.
At infairness, nawala ang pagtitipid ng mga chinese sa China dahil nag construct pa talaga sila ng stadium. :) Hay..ang yaman nila. For sure hindi ito utang (dahil ayaw nila ng utang!). Not unlike sa atin lahat ata ng mga projects sa gobyerno ay galing sa utang. hehehe. Bitter ano? Anyways, let's support the Philippine Team.
(BEIJING, June 28) -- As the world's largest steel structure, the Bird's Nest is completely made of steel produced in China. This is the first time steel plates were used that were 10 millimeters thicker than that of China's national standard. During the construction process, the technicians successfully realized a series of technological breakthroughs to form the Bird's Nest structure.

Photoshop 2: Comic Book Effect Tutorial
Since I got previous post about Andy Warhol attempt.
This time I tried the STYLIZED COMIC BOOK EFFECT.
The outcome was not really that great because the picture that I used is too bright. (I don't have much pictures here in my dekstop). Anyway, it was my first attempt so let's leave room for improvement. :)
It was a simplied version of creating cartoon image using vector. Vector is very much complicated and need a lot of layers. With the above tutorial, you need at least 5 layers to complete the effect.
To view the video tuturial, please visit: Sylized Comic Book Effect Tutorial by Planet Photoshop.
Thanks to my officemate Pau for sharing this to me. Till my next tutorial attempt. :)

I registered in Ebay a long time ago but it was last year that I was hooked on selling and buying. It is by then that I appreciate transacting online and amazed by the the power of online selling/buying.
Nage-enjoy ako because I can sell my old and never-or-don't-want-to-wear clothes, shoes, etc na hindi ko kelangan magbenta personally.Super convenient. What else, I earn from them.
And now, I'm happy buying from other people. I've learned to trust even without meeting them personally. Isa kasi ito sa essential sa Ebay, building trust. At ngayon, parami na ng parami ang aking Favorite Sellers.
Since we're heading to Palawan tomorrow and I'm badly in need of swimwear, let me share my favorite purchases from Ebay:
Top-Bottom:
Mossimo Green Bikini, No Boundaries Bandeau Halter Top, Isaac Mizwhari Black Bikini Top, Guess Floral Mini Skirt
These are all branded. Guess what? I got all of these for not more than 500 pesos!! All unused and Imported and Authentic!
I received them yesterday and suprisingly they all fit perfectly. Para talagang akong nag mall. Hindi lang ako napagod.
**Mossimo Green Bikini - 80Php, No Boundaries Bandeau Halter Top-200Php, Isaac Mizwhari Black Bikini Top-150Php , Guess Floral Mini Skirt 50Php

If I can just turn back time...
I might do "some things" differently.
I know someday the world will tell me why some things didn't happen the way we expected them.
Maybe there's always a reason..and it is better to be left unknown for a while.
**crazy beautiful world, 2 years can be too long. don't you think?
