the striker
Posted by: moonmirae on: December 9, 2009
so… naglilinis ako ng email nung isang araw. tapos i found an old chat log. ehem, niforward lang saken yun ha. remember the catfight between miming and the up professor… no offense meant ha, as well as codenames are necessary here… kekeke? wahehe, mega disclaimer tuloy ako saka i deleted the log already! i also don’t mean or have any bad intentions as well, art lang poh.
going back, there is a really nice remark by miming there, so i decided to turn it into typo art. with credits naman eh saka nagpaalam ako noh… nyahaha! mejo malakas ang dating nung sentence… “i don’t strike first but i strike back.” asteeeg noh? so it’s only appropriate to use a really cool font… plus it has a really cool name. hehe. it’s called amputa bangiz. oha! with regard to the background, i thought of flame of recca at yung mga dragons, the way the longish one circles before it ”strikes”… wahaha para kong kidz. thanks to shadymedusa for the fractal brushes!
yun lang. hope you liked this one. >^.^<

ewan, hindi naman ako bored eh. in fact, i’m enjoying tons. i made some paper craft during the length of our cct training. ayan mga maliliit na muning. i made three, para i labs yuu. the white one reminds me of snowball, a stray cat which we adopted before. also made a black one and a yellow dotted one, which is my favorite. obvious?
nyahaha. parang elementary project lang. art was one of my favorite subjects back then… recess din siyempre! it’s been a while since i glued something. dami kong printed and colored paper noon. aba aba, laking national yata to! so eun, the vectors are from yuuki. if you want to make one, just email me and i’ll send you the pdf file. kekeke!

stamp of approval
Posted by: moonmirae on: December 4, 2009
stamp of approval by melaikick
so i promised joolee that i’d make her typography art. hehehe… took me two weeks to figure out what to do with her name. kasi naman, she’s a woman of puzzling complexity. minsan masyadong malandi at pa-girl. minsan seryoso. minsan parang nanay… pero mas bata pa siya sa lahat. i even started with a floral theme for her… nyahahaha. pero sabi ko parang hindi bagay. st0rong kasi tong si joolee eh.
eun halos maubos ang brain cells ko, until i remembered that we watched new moon two weeks ago… nagpreprepare ako ng requirements for work nun and we talked about the hierarchy of people at work. we ended up wondering how it would be if we were part of the big bosses. so ayun, naimagine ko si joolee… ikot ikot lang sa isang production floor at taga-approve lang ng kung ano anong papeles. bwehehe. it would really suit her. she can boss anyone anytime eh. so there, knowing joolee, hindi siya yung pipirma lang with a regular pen. de stamp pa yan. fanis. oh well, that’s how i think her stamp would look like. big and bold.
the font is called 28 days later, a grungy font. dunno why the maker called it that. hahaha. baka 28 days of dirtyness? thanks to misstaraleexo for the grunge brushes. oist joolee. kitams labs na labs kita. poweeerrrhuuuug! bwehehe!
yun lang.

the butterfly effect

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.
