The Sun Will Set For You...

This took me weeks as I busied myself with the Alice works. It started even before the contest and I didn't have the time working on it.

Made entirely out of Adobe Photoshop CS4... with reference.

I'm thinking of moving to tumblr soon. Still thinking about it.

Oh Alice, dear. Where have you been?

Here's some of the entries I submitted for the 'Picture Yourself in Wonderland' contest on Deviant Art. Click on the image for a full view.

'Follow the White Rabbit'

'I'm Not a Flower'

'Like a Cat'

'My Snow White Queen'

I want to give Red Queen a try but I'm busy making other things for now. I got my preschool reading analysis to finish, Lesson plans for week 20, business cards to design, and portraits to finish. I just need to do these things then I could do Red Queen. ^w^

Tea Time

'Tea Time'

I wish I can has tea... or coffee... mainly coffee.

But hey, I'm doing just great without coffee. Mainly because I quit for almost 3 years without them.

Anyhoot, it's 1:25 friggin' am and I still can't sleep. Bugger. I pray I wouldn't fall asleep when I'm teaching. It's a no-no.

I made this for the contest in deviantart (Picture Yourself in Wonderland). Took some pictures and Adi suggests that I should immediately fix the picture due to deadline. Gots more to come. ^w^

Stuck

I browsed around the 'net and my usual Deviant Art and I stumbled upon this:


I'm thinking of joining because:

1. I love the movie
2. I love Tim Burton, Danny Elfman and Colleen Atwood
3. I love fairy tales
4. I love dressing up/cosplay
5. I want to experiment

And I'm thinking of photo manipulations but I need a cameraman (I can't take photos of myself) and a scene from the movie that I could follow/copy. And I maybe trying out either Alice or Chesire Cat.

I want to join for fun but at the same time.. I want to see if I could win something (I've never win any art related competitions... I'm so sad.)

Anyone reading this... got some ideas?

EDIT:

I found some clothes that could relate to either Alice OR the Red Queen... Bummer...

March 1st

March 1st of last year was one of those toughest day of my life. My boyfriend (then, 4 years together) was involved in a car accident. He had internal brain injuries and was in a coma for 3-5 days and was in a semi-coma for 5 months. He woke up after that and his first words were 'Ma, aku kan ke jamban' (Ma, I want to use the toilet). He was unable to walk, get up and do things of his own. When I first heard his voice over the phone, I've never felt happier. After talking on the phone with him, I cried instantly and told the good news to my family. We visited him that weekend.

Today, I was browsing around facebook while making tutorials. I stumbled upon a status of a someone and it says something to do with a birthday greeting and also missing him after he's passed. I instantly wonder what's up so I browse around (like a little snoop. I'm like a stalker...) and found the guy's facebook. Apparently, he had a car accident and passed away on March 1st this year. He had a girlfriend and they were together for a year.

I could relate to the girl and I could not help but cry. Knowing that she had lost someone so close to her I felt her pain. But then I realize I can't completely relate to her because I'm the lucky one.

March 1st last year, Adi had a car accident and he survived.
March 1st this year, her boyfriend had a car accident and he passed away.

I looked at this girl and it made me wonder, 'This would have happened to me.', 'What will do?', 'Will I find someone else?'

I'll leave that answer on the alternate world of me.

I'm truly blessed to have him in my life... still. ^w^

p/s: I may not know you in real-life (or in facebook). My deepest sympathy to the girlfriend of the deceased boyfriend. May he be in a better place and you'll be together again someday. Al-Fatihah and happy birthday...

Nervous

Alright, I doubt anyone reads my blog 'cos I know I'm a lousy blogger. So here goes...

I'm in a side project band and we're called 'Silent Serenade'. It's a two member band, like She&Him. One's a singer, the other is a guitarist. We play acoustic songs and covers.

Apparently, we've caught attention a dude who's a 'talent agent'(?). And without auditions (and in less than a month), we got signed in. So... we're performing live in JP this month. Maybe from 14th til 16th.

I'm super nervous. I pray to God things go well. >x<

And what concerns me the most, since 'Silent Serenade' is a duo band that plays acoustically, it's normal to being nervous and being so concern of singing on stage....

I, on the other hand, concern about WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO WEAR?!

I don't know what to wear. Seriously, I don't. I like to dress up. Usually, during performances (solo) or cosplaying, I would doll up. But performing for the first time on stage in a band... I don't know what to wear... I would end up wearing the usual (and casual) sleeveless with cardigans, sneakers (or low heeled boots) and just a normal (un-skinnied) torn jeans.

Will that fit the image? >x<"

I need serious help...
