Summer's finally here!
Sadly I'm not in the mood for it. I'm quite bored. And since most of my friends are scattered all around the big land mass that is Region V, I have nothing to do with my life.
To think, I looked forward to this the entire freaking year. . . . . . -- __--
I miss my schoolmates: my friends, my annoying acquaintances, my classmates, clubmates, study mates, cheatmates and even the bitches that give me a god reason to lift my middle finger.
And now I'm missing all the tests and homeworks and "surprise" quizzes my teachers give me too...... Oh God, what the F*** is happening to me!!!
Instead of moping round looking at the ceiling and missing my textbooks(WTF?!), I'll think of what I'd love to do but can't when there's homework.....
I love watching movies.
I find them very interesting. They're like documented scenes of a person's life. I don't care if the movie's setting is in a parallel universe or the world after the most gruesome war that happened in history!
I love books.
They're extremely diverse and give me a wider imaginary world that I can explore.
I like both because you get to see the main character's development and such. The main character's the one that experiences the harsh challenges while I am beside him, learning as well.
I noticed that these days a whole lot of books are being turned into movies; Les Miserables, Pitch Perfect, Delirium (or so they say and so I wish), Beautiful Creatures, The City of Bones, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the Percy Jackson Series, the Avengers(comic BOOK), etc.
I'm not particularly overjoyed by this. Of course I'd love to see the Barden Bellas and Jesse and Percy Jackson and Lena and Jean Valjean and all my other favorite characters on the big screen.
it's just that it seems to me the movie makers are running out of ideas.......
Although, there are still movies that are pretty good. Silver Linings Playbook, Argo, Red Dawn.
Problem?
Most of the really good movies don'y get to show here......
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
The theaters here are showing The Last Exorcism (maybe nice), Must Be Loved(Kathiel, ew) and another one that I forgot the name.
I vsited one freaking website and saw that there were so many good movies shwing in America and I'm stuck here watching Kathryn and Daniel entange themselves in another love story where I wont watch the ending because I already know wht will happen.
Can my situation be any more tragic?

Director's First Cut
When I was in First Grade, I found out my aunt was a director of shampoo commercials in another country.
I was like,"Oooooooohhh." coz I've always wanted to be in the Film biz.
I kept day draeming about my life as a Hollywood director. I would go further than making 3 minute clips about fake girls throwing around their fake hair that's all shiny and smooth "because of the aloe vera extracts" as they talk in their fake accents.
So, I tried to make my very first video. It as supposed to be very good, because I wanted my biography entitled "The Director's Movie" to begin with my first attempt that won a dozen awards when I was just 8 years old.
I filmed and filmed and filmed. The stuff was random; I couldn't even remember what the movie was about. But I felt really happy when I realized I had already finished my very first film.
I sat on the couch and I when I saw my film, I was thoroughly disappointed. My film looked nothing like ET or Cinderella or High School Musical or even sappy and gross and cliche Twilight!
My film was a bunch of noisy, rowdy videos that had terribble sound and mis-arranged videos.
I was so low I was beyond the depth of the Marianas Trench.
Of course, I was in my brightest mood possible after my grandma gave me ice cream.
A few years later, when the problems I had were now more mature and important, I read the Diary of A Wimpy Kid book that was about Filming, I was bummed out that the contents had nothing to do with the misadventures of Gregory H.
Although, the book made me realize that filming took a lot of processes.
And the most basic part of it is having your own video editing software.
My first thought was,"There's a video editing software?"
I could already imagine 1st Grade me using Windows MovieMaker, which was according to the internet, the most used video editing software of students yet.
Yet, I thought, coz I haven't made one yet. . . .
Kidding!!
We had a video editing lesson using Windows Movie Maker. It was quite easy. I think 1st Grade Me could have figure out how to use it easily.
And to think! If I had known about it before, I could've been a director with my own star on the Walk of Fame by now!
Okay, I'm in Super Big Headed Mode again. . . .

Picture Magic
You know what's so great about Technology?
You can do anything you want with it. What used to be impossible 10 years ago is a habit of ours now.
FOR EXAAMPLE!! Before, people had to live with a photo of their that has, like, their huge pimple on top of their sorry little foreheads. And since photos before took, like, a billion years to take you have to keep it. FOREVER.
Now, before you post your picture on Facebook. you you clear your face of any debris using. . .
Many people religiously use this on EVERY SINGLE ONE of their pictures using this.
Sometimes I wonder when I look at my friends' albums if they used Photoshop on it or not.
It's hard to tell, really.
I find those kind of people very conscious. I wouldn't care if I had a scar running down the left side of cheek. It's MY face, not theirs.
So, like I have already said in one of my posts WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in time, I find Photoshop dull and senseless.
And we had Photoshopping AKA Pimple Erasing lessons, so I think that Photoshop is Daedalus's other Labyrinth.
But, we had another activity with Photoshop, which was making our own magazine cover. I was like What? coz I always thought magazine cover designers/geniuses/artists/madmen used Paint.
I've tried making a magazine cover before, so many years ago. I used Paint. I couldn't understand how you can put the text behind you, so I just went like "UGH! I give UP!"
You can imagine my surprise when I found out you have to use dumb ol' Photoshop when it came to stuff like that.
Photoshop isn't so useless after all, but I still believe very self-conscious use it all the time.
