If I'm going to be Used, I'll be used with a price

My classmates are a bunch of geniuses with making people feel out of place.

We had this final project for our Philippine Literature class and they made our group look like slaves and a caterers. They're a bunch of fu***.

In the middle of the program, four out of five members of our group felt like we were being used as a bunch of slaves. We were tasked with food preparation and room decoration. We were rushed with everything and with so little money. They wanted 8 different courses and we had 1,200 pesos for our budget. That won't even cut the cost of main ingredients. That's one. Two, they haven't settled on what room we'll use during the presentation which gave us only minutes to decorate the room and present all the food. Three, during the clean-up, we were left to do everything by ourselves again, with only two or three kind souls who helped out. Four, they rushed our production number for the next day's final examination in another class. There were plenty of time last week, the week before and they did nothing. If I was only blessed with the talent to dance, then I would have initiated everything. Five, they wanted me to make a backdraft for tomorrow's event but they didn't hand me any money or materials for it. So, am  I supposed to spend for it myself? No way! I'm already short on budget this week because of that dang project. I will do the labor, give me everything with extra toppings on it. >:-< Fudge you, I won't budge...

Photoshop Lessons & Humanities Class

For the past two weeks, we had lessons about photography and photoshop in our humanities class. I really enjoyed it since I have been using photoshop since I was in elementary school. Of course, I still had much to learn and I did learn a lot from my professor and fellow classmates. Here are two similar works i did, the first one as a trial and the second one the one I passed to my professor.

I know, I kind of messed up the glass but, can't do anything about it now can I. You can find the tutorial for this kind of pic in the net. Just search photoshop tutorial glass shot.

Class Rank

We got our midterm grade and class ranking the other day. Some cried, others held their heads high. I didn't expect that I would be in the top three, I was second. Still, I am not yet quite satisfied with my grades. I know that I need to improve my performance especially in my rotations for the next three weeks. I need proper time management since there are a lot of activities this month before our final examinations. I just hope I'll be able to straighten my bad habit slowly, even just a little.

If God permits, I would like to grab the top place in our class. Bossun, watch out for Himeko!!! XD
