the butterfly effect by melaikick
inspiration… nope… not quantum mechanics, not chance or destiny either… and no i’m not into metamorphosis stuff. si melaikick pa din ako… just more girly, hahaha. have you ever seen a butterfly on water? when it lands it causes these nice ripples on the water and to me …it’s kind of beautiful…
meron kasi kaming malaking dram ng tubig dati sa bahay namin, you know, the metal ones that are used to catch rain water… and we have this garden with lots of lilies and a humongous imelda rose bush so madaming visitor na butterflies. ewan ko… i just sort of remembered it. kaya ayan! thanks to sudds for the brushes! instead of using a color palette, why not use rainbow colors… o baka nasobrahan lang ako ng pag-stay dito sa bahay ko? rainbow colors kasi yung walls ko. baket ba… saka swerte naman ang polka dots…
i do hope you enjoyed my art. i guess the yellow butterfly’s most noticeable… hope you can see the other ones!
yun lang.

goodbye convergys
Posted by: moonmirae on: November 20, 2009
mr. bear… with me sir, kain lang me… este pull up your records pala…
i passed my resignation today… and whatever decision is made… i still go and that’s final. tagal din pala, it’s been three years and seven months… since, i have almost no family, si-bee-gi na ang naging pamilya ko. minsan nagtataka sila kung bakit gustong gusto kong magtrabaho sa araw ng pasko at bagong taon… bukod kasi sa double pay eh i’ll be with the people whom i love.
nagsimula ako sa dy unit (team mickey) and met my kuyas and ates, mga mami at dadi… and they treated me like their own kid. then i moved on to mitosis (team eg flores). oh yeah, talk about cool. really cool people. bunch of retards… relaks lang, endearment yan. nyahaha. and then, team warm (team joshie)… these people never failed to defend me kahit noong una hindi ko sila gusto… sila pa ang lumapit sakin.
until finally and unfortunately, after the reshuffling, i got attacked by a monster. a monster with a horrible fashion sense. wahahaha. i’m sorry i’m sorry! i just can’t friggin help it! wahahahahaa. don’t scold me on this one, miming… more more wahahahahaha.
ok… so moving on, the point of this post was to say goodbye to all the people i loved and still do at convergys qc… i hope you won’t forget me and all the happy memories we’ve shared. tulad ng hindi ko mabuksan yung pintuan sa third floor, kasi mabigat… napagkamalang visitor, mga team meeting na pagkain ang pinag-uusapan, mga team lunch tapos hayblad si mod, mga sweet short petix mode, lolz., mga sandaling down ang avaya, priceless! mga powerhugs and moments when i see your smiles…
hehehe, kuya miel… ikaw nalang naiwan sa waive 6.4.2! sayang noh… oh well, wala ng mangungulit sayong bata! tsk… escalations, this is tier 2 mieLai! nay butets, we just sort of drifted apart… pero ikaw pa rin ang nanay butets ko. scot, ako pa rin ang bunso kahit anong gawin mo. pampkin, pataba tayo ha? hahaha. dadi judd, ate tere, kuya vic… tl eg and the rest of the posse, stay cool! tl joshie… kaw lang tatay ko jan (dadi kasi yung iba), salamat sa lahat ng advice… pera pera pera madaming pera (to the tune of sorry sorry) joolee, mami ana… new moon? wahahahaha. wag kayong mag-alala, marunong na akong magpony tail. troy, ang dakila kong ex (inside joke, not really my ex)! magshopping tayo minsan, ha?
to my noobcakes family… i always had this fear of losing you guys… pero wala na ngayon kasi, in my heart, i know i never will… at hindi rin magbabago ang pagmamahal ko sa inyo. (jamie sfx: eeeeeeeee)
so… as cheesy as it is… iwanan ko kayo ng kanta. it’s the goodbye song…
hey, this was really fun… we hoped you liked it too
seems like we’ve just begun… when suddenly we’re through
goodbye, goodbye, good friends, goodbye
’cause now it’s time to go…
but hey, i say, well… that’s okay
’cause we’ll see you very soon, i know… very soon, i know…
goodbye, goodbye, good friends, goodbye
and tomorrow, just like today…
the moon, the bear, and the big blue house
we’ll be waiting for you to come and play…
yes, hello mod… this is melai… VGH? hahaha. this is melai signing off…
yun lang. i love you all.

kimi to iu hana
Posted by: moonmirae on: November 18, 2009
for miming
what’s with me and umbrellas? hahaha. inspiration came when my iTunes started blasting kimi to iu hana, a song by asian kung fu generation, for the nth time and then i heard it… again. “shiro i iki ga kireru made…” ayun, somehow the linguist in me became bffs with my typographer side… gaki is miming’s other name, and there’s the article ga plus the word ‘kireru’ which means violent reaction. well, di naman siya violent pero sobrang energetic… so pwede na rin. nyahaha.
the font is called bleeding cowboys. it has some pretty swirls in it but i had to remove the bleeds. i also had lots of fun with the film grain effect… wan to sawa! hahaha! the brushes are from mouritsada. thank you po, sir! at dahil import si miming from japan at masyadong girly ang cherry blossoms… absolutely no geishas, ok? lolz. japanese umbrellas or wagasa seemed perfect. it’s strong and beautiful and practical… just like miming. oha oha!
yun lang.

payong ng kalawakan
Posted by: moonmirae on: November 16, 2009
“now that it’s raining more than ever, know that we’ll still have each other… you can stand under my umbrella”
lagi nalang nasisira ang mga payong ko. nyahahaha. lagi nalang ako nakakarinig ng sermon na wag lang bumili ng cute… bumili din ng kwali-teee… hetong history ng payong ko…
1. yellow umbrella from bayo … overused; 2. red striped fibrella … destroyed by miming when he tried to pick padatoo up from si-bee-gi; 3. houndstooth from bench … destroyed when somebody sat on my bag; 4. another houndstooth from bench only this one is of a lighter color … destroyed by some typhoon. now all these four umbrellas were what i would call “cute” so i decided to buy an ugly one. hahaha. 5. super duper plain black fibrella … destroyed by that killer typhoon, ayaw ko nalang i mention yung name niya, it brings bad memories…
so well, miming’s umbrella was holding quite well. i decided to try it out. found similar ones… they’re called bantam umbrellas. di ko alam kung bakit mo ipapangalan sa isang manok ang isang brand ng payong pero yun ang tawag eh. on the tag, you’ll find a short description of the umbrella… “sporting a wind and water resistant canopy bantam is engineered to fold conveniently to a compact length so you can tuck it away easily when not in use. this umbrella protects your skin from the sun’s harmful uv rays.” hahaha, humanda ka, mr. sun!
i bought a printed one ala burberry (see pic above), para malandi ng konti, hehehe. ok naman siya… passed two storms already and it’s sturdy enough that it does not matter if i accidentally sit on my bag. it’s automatic too… and costs… well, let’s just say, for an umbrella like that, it’s worth it. payong yan ng kalawakan! bazoom bazoom!
it’s nice to find happiness in small, everyday things… tulad ng payong! did i mention these umbrellas were named after a chicken? hahaha. o yeah, i did.
yun lang.

my darling baby printer
Posted by: moonmirae on: November 14, 2009
i bought a new printer today. hehe… i need it eh, in preparation… a pre-lude to some asskicking! please meet my darling baby printer!
my darling baby printer >^.^<
with the paper tray open and it has an extension too!
he’s a sweet hp deskjet d2660. the specs are here. it’s simple, sleek and jet black… matches my hp pavillion. also, quality wise… it’s perfect for printing normal everyday black and white stuff… like resumes perhaps. wahahahaha. kung colored prints naman, ok din siya. i just printed a nice vector image.
it’s st0rong! prints really fast… i had an officejet back then, which costs 70 percent more than this deskjet… but darling baby printer prints just like the office jet… it’s eco-friendly too, made from fifty percent recycled material, and comes in a box made from 100 percent recycled stuff. oha oha!
i’ll get a photosmart, the compact one… kapag may cameras na ko. all my computer stuff are from hewlett packard ever since i was in high school… except for one sony laptop which was running on windows millennium anyway. so that does not count. hehe, kind sirs from hp, please sponsor my work? hihi.
go ninja!

sa buhay ko, ang daming monster at kalaban. i faced a class s halimaw today. (although when i post this, it would probably be a different day…) and worse meron pa siyang mga alalay na class a. huhuhu. i was badly hurt. degree of damage, you ask? damage to the extremes, i barely made it alive and i’m actually bleeding to death… irl, this translates to, i cried the whole day and i’m still crying as of the moment… it’s got something to do with losing my family, (we can say that it’s a possible consequence of that halimaw attack…) the real one, not those blood relatives. i shudder at the thought.
i have a life outside of my noobcakes but my life mainly focuses around them now and my love for them will always be. siguro, naiisip nyo… nako, heto nanaman si melai. but i can’t help it. hay, tama na nga itong emo shert na to. my eyes hurt so much, my nose is too stuffy, and my heart is in a great deal of pain already. ang kulit mo melai!
pero… sabi nga ang bida, nagpapabugbog muna. hindi pwedeng mamatay, tama? wahaha. (i’m crying and laughing at the same time, amf.) so, anong panglaban sa halimaw? sa ghost fighter, super powers eh. nah, i don’t have those. ano meron ako? heto o…
shinobi no mirae by melaikick
hahaha. meron akong mga ninja bodyguards! this is my first graphic art, inspired by a real life ninja? nyahaha… wag daw akong sumuko. shinobi no mirae. ano kamo?! shinobi is actually a synonym of the word ‘ninja’ at mas ginagamit nila yan sa japan. di daw kasi kaya ipronounce masyado ng mga foreigner kaya mas sikat ang salitang ninja sa ibang bansa. mi rae (mi rey) on the other hand is my korean name. coincidentally, there is a japanese word, ‘mirai’ (mi ra ee). both words mean “future” but i’d like to retain the letter e since these are my ninja.
i’ve named them too! hehehe. ito ang nagagawa ng kalungkutan… from left we have, kancho (spy); koran (agitator) ; teisatsu (scout); and kisho (surprise attacker). oha oha. and all of them are jonin or the highest rank ha. i also added some akatsuki clouds. obvious, nagbabasa ako ng naruto. ahihi.
next time that horrible monster attacks, i’ll be more prepared. mejo low level pa ang buff, resu, at heal ko pero fight-o!
yun lang.

the tears have stopped… for now…

dahil lahat ay bisi, dahil ulit ulit nalang ang lahat, dahil sugat na sugat na ang puso ko… eh di maghanap ng distraction! sabi nga naman ng boss ko noon, “kehsa naman drugs!” nyahaha. so ano kaya? cooking … not really my cup of tea. photography? nah. i’m not the resident photographer, though i’m saving for a nice entry level canon. music? not in the mood as of the moment. then i happened to click on a deviantart link about photoshop. i thought, why not? i explored my options… eh di ayan!
i’ve been studying typography art for two weeks now… with adobe photoshop cs3 and illustrator as gears. well, habang naglalaro ng plants vs. flowers at pet society. nyaha. i hope you guys enjoy my very first typography art. here it is…
noobcakes by melaikick
i’m sorry about the multiply logo… that’s where i’m keeping my pictures and resources for now because upload there is faaaast. i’ll be moving to flickr as soon as i change my isp. other than that minor glitch, this is inspired by none other than my noobcakes family… at di ako nagsasawang ulit ulitin na i love them more than my blood relatives… hey, if anyone of you sees this, i hope you like it… i dedicate this to you guys! parang kanta lang sa radyo, wahahaha. bwiset. mahal ko kayo!
the font is called ayosmonika. it has a nice touch to it, di ba? ahaha. ayos! i really had fun while doing this so i’ll be doing more of these of course, saka i’d appreciate suggestions and comments from people who have a good reign of photoshop and illustrator already. thank you. >^.^<

the cvg eco bag
Posted by: moonmirae on: October 29, 2009
i hope i don’t get in trouble… boss, blogger lang po. hahaha. we receive lots (ubo ubo) of stuff from work, from food and tumblers to gift cheques and cash… but this is the first time i received something i really like… behold, the convergys eco bag!
it was given as a loot bag during halloween. my boss put lots of chocolee. wahaha. tenks boss!
reduce. re-use. recycle. nga naman mga inday!
it’s nice to work for a company that’s concerned about the environment. so… yeah. help save the world from an attack of the giant plastic monster bag. hahaha. an eco bag has many other uses but currently i’ve been using it for…
… lalagyan ng laundry. hahaha. it’s a big canvass bag eh, and it can carry around three kilos of clothes. and the guard at our condo won’t think i’m carrying a dead body. i used to put my laundry inside black trash bags. hahaha. baket ba?
… pamalengke? hehe. no more flimsy single user plastic bags… good for waste reduction. good for the tindera, who saves cash. lolz.
… promotion… nyaha! oh yeah, eco bag advertising! tote it around the mall… but bring a lot of referral forms. $$$ caching! caching! if you want to work for cvg, you know where you can contact me… hem hem!
yun lang.

plants vs. zombies … me want brain!
Posted by: moonmirae on: October 28, 2009
a few days back, just out of the blue, i was asked by miming (parang lahat ata ng post ko meh special mention ka?) to download some weird sounding monster game, plants vs. zombies… saying that it was ‘cute’. hehehe, it was… i’m so hooked into this that i’d rather play and pig out in from of the computer than go to the mall. the last time i did this was when i downloaded luxor. nyahaha. yehes, magpaalam ka na sa social life mo, melai!
ok nga, it’s just in time for halloween, (happy halloween guys >^.^<) when there’s nothing on tv but gory shows. wahaha. can’t wait to see the gory details of my meralco bill though. my computer’s been on for the longest time…
hehehe… low level pa ko when i took this screenshot *blush blush*
alam nyo naman, we don’t do details here at melaikick. but i have a good guide here. so, konting konting details lang… it’s a game of defense. protektahan mo ang bahay mo laban sa kampon ng kasamaan sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanim. wah-chaaa! ay teka, evil din pala ako. nyahaha.
i hate cooking but i’m a good gardener, irl-wise (is there such a word?) hehe, sorry naman… the plants, the things you use to protect your house, just reminded me of the small garden i used to tend to waaaaay back. would have loved to have a real manyak eating plant or a bad customer eating plant… nyahahaha.
a sun shroom, one of the plants… hehe cute cute…
there are nice plants in this game, zombie eating plants, pea pod shooters, water lilies for floating purposes, cherry bombs (fireworks irl-fyi-lolz), tapos sunlight from the sunflowers. honga naman! there are non-plant arsenal too like stars…
pero my favorite is the walnut… bakit? lam mo na… ang cute! mataba saka bilog ang mata… looks like a constipated nut. but it gets eaten in a horrible way, naawa ako sa kanya kapag kinakain na siya ng zombie.
on the other hand, the zombies… are totally funny. naisip ko nung una, regular zombies lang but most of them are ridiculous! there’s a newspaper zombie, a screendoor zombie, small zombies… hahaha, you name it. my favorite? even though it’s a low level zombie, nothing beats the michael jackson zombie… it even has back up zombie dancers! yeah, i know, right? bwahahahaha.
the michael jackson zombie, in focus!
kind sirs at popcap (the makers of this cool game), how about a trellis of tomatoes … fighting ninja tomatoes? nyahaha! plants vs. zombies is readily available at isohunt.com. *wink wink*
yun lang. me want brain…

the girly girl girl
Posted by: moonmirae on: October 16, 2009
a beautiful mess… more pics here.
warning: girl stuff ahead…
isang araw nagising nalang ako na babae na ako! nyahahaha! waaaay back in college, i did all the extra-curriculars possible so i lived in converse and flats and tees. puro takbo takbo kasi between org meetings and class. my hair wouldn’t curl too so when i graduated, i was the only one with super straight hair. nyahahaha.
when i started work, my boss was absolutely cool. and he wore those rubbershoes that are like top of the line… wahaha, hip hop ang boss ko and the team was comprised of kuyas who have the same style. thus, i bought my nikes. nyahaha. rubbershoes pa den! oh yeah i have a pair of silver nikes to which miming quips “bakit siya makintab??? bakeeeeeet?” lolz.
moving on… the boy look did mellow out… but it went on leave after i bought a sophie bag… eherrrm, more like… walang choice, hahaha. nah, it’s really nice and i love it. it’s a tiny black one with ribbon and lace. hyeah… you get the picture. there’s no way i could wear converse with that bag. so… say hello to melai, the girly girl girl.
my closet’s been eating cardigans and dresses and frilly, lacey stuff. and my shoes… they still kick ass but in a pretty way. ahihi!
yun lang.
♥ melai
p. s.
they had a horrible and offensive joke for me… i’m not so blessed with the boobs part, so i did some shots that showed a bit of my boobs. nyahahaha. vantage point: girls with small boobs can wear nice tops without looking slutty. and they won’t saaaag like those big ones once we get older… hehehe, pis tayuuuu! gusto ko lang idagdag.
