PRODUCTIVE IS EFFECTIVE

2009-10-15T23:41:00.000-07:00

Been lost for yonks, eh?
Now I'm back! It's sembreak, finally.

So, what's on my list this vacation?

For a long time, the internet's purpose for me is lurking. Lurking, yes, most often than not. Since it has been already one of my everyday penchants, I might as well do something productive and lucrative. Business. Yes. I am in the field of Business Mgmt and Entrepreneurship and I think one way to be effective is to practice it in real situations. I am opening an online shop soon. Quirkypedia (your fashion encyclopedia). As a starter, I am only trying out my luck in designing and making accessories, and I hope to clinch good fortune. Right now, I'm busy working my products out.

Next in track, I'm learning how to cook. 1 dish down, I just learned how to make Nachos Salsa. It's my faaave. Yay for Mexican food. I have more in line :)

Have a refurbishment.

What's on ur list?

Let's goal for it!

Being the youngest child, I grew up always being able to get what I want. Should I have a whim today, I always get it by tomorrow, or the next day, or sooner than I thought. I have the best parents, and they give the best for me. Impulsive is one word I've had in my vocabulary from my childhood up until now. Thankful as I am, everything I've had is truly cherished, and nurtured, may I say. As a product of my childhood, I can say that every sprinkling splinter of it gave me much contentment. I wholeheartedly enjoyed my childhood.

Growing up is a whole lot harder. Changes occur, and come inevitable. And the biggest matter of contention? Impulses turn in greater packages as life gets tougher. Everyone says, “You cannot get everything you want.” Check. But as a self-defense, I say: You can always work hard for what you want. Be it materialistically or not. Try to have the spirit, determination and courage to walk paths. Go get what you want. In the end, you'll realize you finally got it.

Today, I can admit I am more materialistic. Due to the rising technological developments, improving generation and high demands, anyone would never fail to wish and crave for anything. Life today is hard though, and I don't want to demand my impulses from my parents, or from anyone. It's onerous, I presume. Whenever I want something, I save up for it and use my own money to buy it. That being my way of tolerating my impulses, I can say I am becoming more responsible and independent.

I've recently scanned over a teen magazine and there I've been remarked by some goal quote inspirations.

You must do what you feel is right. - Obi Wan Kenobi

The possession of anything begins in the mind.- Bruce Lee

The pursuit of something worthwhile is what's important. -Gwyneth Paltrow

If it is to be, it is up to me.

What is any life if it is not in the pursuit of a dream?

At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.

I say: If you want something, no quitting!

Let's dream all the best that we can.

I'm happy!

2009-07-18T10:57:00.000-07:00

That's all I could say :p

BUSY though. :(

you.

2009-07-09T08:29:00.000-07:00

Somewhere between the sweetest smiles, contagious laughs, painful sorrows, and worthwhile talks, I was glad to have found someone in you. I miss that friend I found.

I'm just missing the person whom I consider one of my real friends, most especially when I'm all taken away by uphill endeavors.

Things I have been up to recently.

2009-06-19T07:20:00.000-07:00

June 15- Classes. First day of classes meant NO CLASSES. Just that DOUBTFUL hope encapsulating us (I'll take it collectively, I know for sure you'll agree) that professors would come on the freshest tick of the clock. And yes, I thrived, only 2 professors came inside that sweat-leaking, mind-boggling and spine-tingling 5th floor classroom we were enthroned into. Sheesh, I hate our classroom, but I hate our schedule, topping it off. *Sighs* Up until now, I'm imperceptibly desperate praying about the retrieval of our original class schedule. Please, for the last year in my college.

Shift.

I am nominated in the Candy Teen Blog Awards! Help me win by rating my blog. Click away!

Lately, I've had some practices in Makeup editing, and I tell you, it's fun by no doubt. Here are some of the works I've racked up:

During my OJT days, I was preoccupied with work and I had lesser time for my pechants and passions, and that only meant having no up-to-date photoshoots. So yeah, I missed being the photographer-model. But as I've blathered, I think I'm going to need fresh faces or new models for the next sets of shoots. Anyways, I'll hush the chatter here. However, I'll leave you with some photos. Photography/Post-processing by me.

*Full sets are always on my Multiply.

Ciao! I'm currently having a Boys Over Flowers marathon. :)

Adam Lambert Finally Confirms: "I'm Gay"

2009-06-09T10:43:00.000-07:00

**NOTE: Comments are on top of each post**

Matthew Rolston for Rolling StoneUs Magazine
Adam Lambert finally confirms his sexuality in the new issue of Rolling Stone (on stands tomorrow).

"I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay," the American Idol runner-up says.

Look back at the Season 8 Idol's finale most unforgettable moments.

"I'm proud of my sexuality," continues the rocker, who was photographed holding hands with interior designer Drake LaBry earlier this month. "I embrace it. It's just another part of me."

Check out photos of star couples who can't get enough of each other.

But Lambert, 27, from San Diego -- who performed Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" on the Idol finale -- says he's not the poster boy for gay rights.

"I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader," he tells RS contributor Vanessa Grigoriadis.

VIDEO: Adam Lambert talking to Rolling Stone about his cover shoot.

Lambert admits that he was nervous about coming out while Idol was still on the air because contestants are under a media embargo, and he wanted to do it on his "own terms." (He also says producers were open to him handling it however he wanted to.)

"I was worried that [coming out] would be so sensationalized that it would overshadow what I was there to do, which was sing," Lambert tells the mag. "I'm an entertainer, and who I am and what I do in my personal life is a separate thing. it shouldn't matter. Except it does. It's really confusing."

Find out what an Idol stylist has to say about Lambert's look.

Lambert credits the FOX reality show with helping him gain self confidence.

"I finally checked into my self-worth for the first time in my life, and the fact that it coincided with Idol is so sweet," he says. "I mean, I still have moments where I think, 'Oh, my skin is terrible, and I'm a little fat -- I should really go to the gym more.' But for the most part, when I look in the mirror now, I finally see somebody who can do something cool."

See before and after pics of Idol's weight winners (and losers).

For more details on which Idol Lambert is attracted to, how he came out to his family, and what was going through his head when those photos of him in drag hit the web mid-season, pick up the newest issue of Rolling Stone, on stands Wednesday.

Curious much about this Drake Labry? Here.

It's obvious, right?

BLABBER MOUTH: I don't like how Clay Aiken criticized him by saying he has awful-sounding vocals that made the AI 2 runner-up's ears bleed out as he re-lived the song "Ring Of Fire" when indeed, I personally believe that Adam is by far the best all-range American Idol contender, and many can attest to that.

Honestly, if proofs wouldn't be required, he would have actually won, if not of this sexuality gossip. Many girl fans were disappointed when they knew of the fact that he can't be that dream rocker-boyfriend because he is gay. That glaring and disheartening truth was overmagnified. To veer their attention to other contenders, is the safest way to exit this intense Idol phenomenon.

Real man or not, I don't care. All I know is that Adam's musical prodigy would make him become the next rising rocker breaking the records. Go, go, Adam!

Back from Hiatus!

2009-05-27T05:20:00.000-07:00

Yay! My OJT's finally over. Whew! I can take a rest, finally.
Anyway, this will only be a quick snap of update.

Picture Spam again!:)
Photography for the month of May.
In collaboration with my cousin.

Photography: Khai Nunag/Burt Galang
Location: Hotel Vida (where I work as an on the job trainee)
http://hotelvidaclark.com

And btw, I want to share my pic with my cutest nephew! (With my new hair! yay <3)

Oops. Before I forget...
A new pic with him <3

RANDOM TATTLE: I've met a lot of new people recently and it just made me ecstatic. I know it's true that some people come and go.

As for my OJT/practicum, I enjoyed a lot! I had to deal with doing marketing collaterals such as tarpaulins/streamers/invites etc, which construes my comfort zone, so I'm sure you won't doubt it if I'd say I really enjoyed.

So much for the talking. My tummy's grumbling out of hunger. lol. Oh btw, my gallery's updated too!

I missed blogging, I missed everything. I missed everyone. I missed YOU!

*KHAI

Lurk no more.

2009-04-25T21:44:00.000-07:00

I'm so busy with my OJT so bad that I can't spend much time lurking around the net anymore:( I wish I could finish the 200 hrs very soon, thanks to the one week of being able to accomplish 47 hrs already.:)

Anyway, since I won't snag much time to post a lot here, I'll just share my past performances by videos. See you around!

I'm the one singing once you play the video;)

I sang the 2nd part of the song:)

Hey there! I've been aware, and I know you were too, of my failure to post an update in my blog. It was due to being slightly busy with a lot of things which confered me with bliss. =) Nonetheless, I'll make it up to you by spamming this entry with pictures that will dig about the recent things I've been up to.

Okay.
CLICK THE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE.

DIGITAL ART. These are my recent works and new discoveries:)

PHOTOGRAPHY. I'm glad I was able to shoot for new self-portraits, after how many months of setting my full time for school.

That's the whole set. If you want to view the high-res pics individually, switch on to my DeviantArt in my Profile page. My current fave is the one in the middle!:) Click the pic to view in a large window.

MUSIC. I've been active in this craft lately and I love being busy with it:) I had 3 recent performances and what I loved was our portrayal of And I'm Telling You by Dreamgirls. I'll post a video soon;)

BTW, I have a performance on SM Pampanga on tuesday, 5pm I think. If you're from Pampanga, hope you could watch:)

That's about the Spam:)

Summer!

2009-03-27T07:30:00.000-07:00

Classes are over. Yay! But I guess we only have a 2 week vacation because we need to attend to our OJT already. Aww:(

March Photoshoot

2009-03-13T08:01:00.000-07:00

For quite a period, I've been planning a photoshoot with three of my friends, but ironically, it doesn't push through due to being busy with some things.

Luckily, last March 7, I had much free time to hold the shoot. Yay! =)
It was really fun because I got to bond with my highschool-slash-college friends and my best friend.

Also, I have to stash some things aside. I'm sure there's a wonder nudging you to ask why. Yes, I know it's deep, but... I just don't want to scrawl about it no more.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures taken last time.

Oh.

2009-03-02T07:19:00.000-08:00

Whoever you are trying to break me, destroy me and blot my character, you won't thrive in such a stature. I hope you just get sick and tired of doing malevolent acts and stop using me and my identity.

I myself know the truth. People might only pity you for that lousy doing.

You know what, KARMA is easy to spell. It's as easy as waking up one day with the whole world glaring at you, giving you off pity stares.

For some reasons, I'm happier today.=)

2009-02-22T21:53:00.000-08:00

I was about to say that life has become so glum, maybe because of the redundant things I'm doing- I mean, school works, school life. I hate being piled up with that stuff, you know. But I never thought of any ways on revamping my lifestyle.

A lot of experiences have actually made a pass-by. Different moods, highs and lows, ups and downs and the list goes on. No more talks about those.

Singing, my passion has given me a break from those.

I did a front act for Richard Poon. Wow- is the word I can fork you over.

His relaxed voice was very soothing for the ears.

I sang three songs: Open Arms, Bukas na lang kita mamahalin and I don't wanna be your friend.

I'll share with you some pics.

(CLICK THE PIC TO ZOOM IT IN)

The 1st pic was me singing on stage, the 2nd was with RP, the third was with Acel and her friend (they're great too!) and the last, you know who.

And of course, a video of me singing a glimpse of Open Arms and Bukas na lang kita mamahalin.

And my third song:

Happy Vday

2009-02-14T06:14:00.000-08:00

Happy Love Day.:)

and Happy Single Awareness Day to me.

It doesn't matter if I'm single. I don't care if I don't have anyone who assures me of a love that any significant other could offer. All I know is I'm happy, I'm happy, because I have that seemingly eternal smile, and that's far more than anything else.

Fast Update

2009-02-07T19:28:00.000-08:00

Jan-Feb works
Just a few.I feel like I'm giving off much ignorance for my passion:(I just don't have much spare time for it now, due to my being busy with something else.Oh, stop the rant.Thanks to Burt Galang for the 2nd and 3rd shots and my dear Che for the fifth.=)
Post processing by yours truly.

WHAT?

2009-02-01T09:02:00.000-08:00

Week assessment:

The week that had gone out was a good one for me. Why? Basta. LMAO:)
The weekend is its highlight. Unfortunately, it went too fast. It was sort of a hi-bye thing.

Okay I'll do this fast.

Next week's hell week.

MIDTERMS.

I hope I'd do well as much as how I was satisfied with my Prelim grades. Professors say, prelim grades should be investments, so when you find midterms and finals harder, you won't suffer. I react: Yes, true enough!

So I won't wonder if my grades would go down the flight a bit.

School's hardwork, dear.

DONE!

*I miss writing. I pity myself for not having much time for it now. Errr.*

The Power of Letting Go

2009-01-25T06:31:00.000-08:00

by Khai Nunag

NOTE: I'm posting this because it's the article's 1 year anniv this Jan. Lol.=)

Letting Go- words that you’ve probably heard a lot of times now especially from your bestfriend-and-confidant, mom-slash-adviser, and ever reliable friends. But believe it or not, it is one inevitable plight we frequently crack-up into.

When overlooked, letting go may be easy. But once you get tied up in the circumstances, it becomes a lot harder. How can you let go of something you’ve ever wanted? How can you do so when it’s all that you love? It’s you versus the situation. To get your load lighter, take it as this: Why do you have to let go of something? The answer: Because you don’t need it anymore.

There is an exceptional freedom that is acquired through letting go. You make yourself distant from the unnecessary things, bad habits, dreadful agonies and even people who pull you down. At times you feel cranky because of these things. Better yet, “tidy up your messy room”, taking it illustratively.

When should you let go?

Are you into something that you know is good and everyone sees as good but doesn’t involve any development? Do you feel better off when something or someone isn’t around or do you feel anxious and apprehensive the other way around? Do you seem physically happy but emotionally bad? Do you feel discontented?

If your answer is a YES, then you have to let it go. Not all things work out. Perhaps, it is not destined for you to have. Sadly, when it isn’t for you, you have to set it free. It may be burden-like but sooner or later, you’ll find out that it’s the key to a door that leads you to something better.

God has better things in store for you and in order to find out what those “better things” are, you first have to take your initial step to that door, which is, LETTING GO.

The Process

Being in the turmoil is way too hard. But if you hold on to the fact that it’s a pathway to something better out there, and when you mull over the idea that we don’t own anything in reality, it becomes a whole lot easier. Letting go is a process that is inclusive of stepping stones each containing a pace of development and being able to get through them is what you call achievement.

When you let go, the tears surely flow. Feel the moment in entirety but after doing all the indulgences, STOP. As Morrie Schwartz uttered, “All right that was my moment with loneliness. I’m not afraid of feeling lonely, but I’m going to put that loneliness aside & know that there are other emotions in the world and I’m going to experience them as well.” (Tuesdays with Morrie) Letting go is not conclusive. After you shed tears of solitude, you have to give way to other emotions as well. It’s a part of the process. Who knows the next emotion you’ll be unveiling is happiness?

When you have to leave something behind, do not feel ill-fated. Be an optimist. Let go and have a space to welcome new things in your life, do not be afraid to venture out. We have two gifts from God after all- one is choice and the other is chance. Choose to go on with a good life & take the chance to make it stellar.

What Letting go needs

WILLINGNESS

Clinch a full drive to let go, move on and get over. When we are motivated to stop clinging in to something, we actually realize that we are able to receive more. Be eager to be in the ditch of the risk, for you may come across something worthier.

ACCEPTANCE

Learn to accept that when something doesn’t work out, then it isn’t for you. Admit everything formally. Once you’ve accepted, you’re indisputably ready to recept.

SATISFACTION

Include contentment in your vocabulary after you let go and be sure not to entertain regrets.

FORGIVENESS

Strive to have amnesty for everything that was done wrongly except, never forget. Letting go is never about forgetting the things that had happened for it plays a part in your development as a person.

TRUST

Comprise the conviction that you’ll be most aware of the aforementioned radicals of letting go.

What you should actually let go when you let go

ATTACHMENT

Attachment is securing a bond to something. You become attached to something that is physically available for a long span of time. When you let go, you have to loosen your clutch from the rope that holds your attachment. As soon as you had let go of that rope, the heavy pile of books gets lighter.

RESENTMENT

Never let anger reside in your heart. It may affect you emotionally, mentally and even physically- it is bad for the health. Close your doors from hatred and bitterness especially towards something you let go of.

ANXIETY

Worrying consequently is as well bad for the health. Set your fears aside and do not do anything that makes your anxiety level intolerable.

DESPAIR

A good way to let go successfully is to disown hopelessness. Never ever lose your hope and do not let desolation swallow you. Have another aspiration instead.

2 Purposes of Letting Go

To Grow Up

To let go is to allow yourself to move on- to progress and step to another phase of your life. It involves going through empowerment, to be charged up in order to start anew. As soon as you’re done with the process, you face a new world- a new you. To leave something behind means the beginning of change and being in that state means growing up. Nevertheless, before being in that state of change is dwelling in a painful pre-option of whether you hold on or let go. Let’s say life is a closet. The more clothes it contains, the difficult the maintenance of cleanliness is. On the other hand, the fewer clothes it has, the easier it is to sustain its cleanliness. It will then not be so hard to put our possessions in proper track- literally and figuratively. By then, we will have a lot of space for necessary improvement and eventually, for happiness and satisfaction.

To learn:

Merely an intense choice, letting it go is laudable for the lessons we obtain as we undergo the process. It is indeed a whole lot easier to just hang on. However, we let go in order to grow and learn. When you hang on, you exercise control over things- power. Little do you know that it’s relentless power. You get used to the same things until such time comes that you realize you’re going the wrong way. Holding on is comprehensible, while letting go needs to be learned. Learn to seek for new things, learn to venture out. Do not be swallowed by the indecision to let go. Gradually, you’ll learn a lot of things when you step aside the past achievements, beliefs and practices you were once into. One more thing you learn about letting go is responsibility. Letting go does carry with it a sense of responsibility because it’s a serious matter. Choosing to live with it necessitates the responsibility to face the circumstances that stand within. Letting go of something entails a definitive expression of self-love and total motivation to learn.

The Drama

“Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that is permanent in this world is change. Everything changes. So as people do. Time will come that they will all be gone. We can’t hold control over time. We just have to loosen our grip little by little or else we’ll get wounded by the thorns. “

I'll let you know.

2009-01-17T06:25:00.000-08:00

It saddens me that we're all blistered with school stuff. I know, school's all about hard work. But I can't spare much time for writing, along with my other hobbies. I just hope I won't be able to miss some offshoot, because if such thing happens..... I don't know. I would rather wither.

Today, I managed to free myself a little from the stressful works we were necessitated with. I can't stand living if it means work, work and work. Sometimes, we need a tinge of rest to refresh our minds. So yeah, by musing over in here, I know I'd be able to clean all the inessential clutter in my mind. Lol. I will as well write down random thoughts for the past days.

Nothing can be greater that the rush that goes with ethereal happiness.

I love living and I live loving:)

Call me insane,
tell me I'm no plain.
Hell I care?
All I know is you're there to make me stare.
You know what?
I'll keep it not.
You're unfair
cause you come off rare.

Love is not a reciprocal obligation. It is acquired intensely by choice, and a person cannot be forced against his will whether to fall in or out of love.

And whatever you say, I know my heart's all packed and ready to go. Need I say more?

Just some of them:)

I'll be updating my CHICTOPIA now. Have a check:)

Wait. Add-on lang. It's up to you if you'd like to watch=)

It was during this moment where I loved the way I sang the song, but things got too ironic because I forgot the lyrics. Hahaha. I know everyone didn't care, for it was my day. Blah.

And this one, it was my most memorable performance thus far. Ano ba yan, my friends keep shouting my first and second name. Lol, feel ko tuloy nasa bahay ako. Hahaha. I think I've posted this on my old blog. Sorry for the little redundancy.

It's greater than great. =)

2009-01-11T05:50:00.000-08:00

A teen's life would never be what it is if not because of crushes. Agree? I know you do.
It is but normal for a typical teenager to swoon over their crushes.

As a teen, I've had a lot.

But I know you won't have second thoughts if I said celebrity crushes top the list.

And being able to meet them brings you up to cloud 9.

You know what? I'm there now. Lol.

A while ago, I met Chris Cayzer already. Finally, after 2 and a half years. Natanong nga nya nung nagpapasign ako ng album nya, "How long have you had this?" Lol. Haha.

Ang saya kasi he's very friendly, like he used to be, and so is Kuya Rey (his handler).

They're very accomodating, feel ko tuloy VIP ako. Lol. Promise. I really had a greater than great time.

At natuwa naman ako kasi he was able to read my blogs daw and said thanks pa for the write-up that I did about him:)

Yan. My first pic with him:)

Ano mafi-feel mo kung ganyan? Hahaha:))

Gwapo. Haha.

Yay~ :) Keekhai tlga ha, natouch ako dun. Haha:)

Ayan:) Sana marami pang next time!:)

More?

I haven't been this way...

2009-01-09T08:37:00.000-08:00

Until I caught God's gift for me. And that gift? Hmmm. It's immeasurable, it's illimitable. Whatever it is, I'll keep it to myself for now. YOU have to find it out yourself. =)

The New Year needs...

2009-01-02T08:57:00.000-08:00

A change. A new blog.

I know you have a question hanging in your mind.

Why did I move to a new blog?- Yeah, that is.

Truth is, I don't really know how to work on the codes and layouts thingy in my previous blog and I'm craving for a new layout badly. I might as well just move to a new blog to make it a heck easier.

Secondly, the blog name. Digital-crashpad. Has the curiosity in you just crawled out?

Well, I really had a hard time choosing a new blog name, but due to majority's votes, digital-crashpad was just the perfect name. Digital- because I basically need a computer (a digital thing) to access my Crash pad (home). There you got it!

So, how's my new blog?

I just love it.~

P.S. My old blog will remain unclosed, I might just use it formally for my write-ups and other compositions, but this blog will be my chronicle, my new home.:)

Have you changed my link yet? Lmao.:))

Thanks!

Yay~

2009-01-02T06:07:00.000-08:00

Welcome to my new blog. Suggestions are love.
Ciao!~ :)
