Nikookie: A Cookie-licious Life: 5/1/10

Eye Strain?

My eyes are really stressed right now. They keep on facing the computer. I think I'm getting eye strain already. By the look of my eyes right now, it's pretty obvious. It's like glued to the computer screen. Yeah...

I've been reading my book reports lately, and I finished 2 books. 1 more book to go. But I think I should just read it when school starts since my eyes need a break. School starts soon, so I better get ready. I have a few close friends which are my classmates this school year. They're only a few but at least they're my classmates. I mean, I would go EMO if I didn't have a close friend as a classmate. O_o Just kidding... but seriously.

School is really getting near now. Not to mention my piano recital. My piano recital exactly 4 days before school starts.

Okay, so as the days pass, I had nothing to do but read in the computer. I didn't really have THAT much interest in Facebook nowadays. So I just read stories on the net. It's really creeping me out because it's a daily thing and I get nightmares from it already. The average would probably be 20 stories... or more until I barf up. Nah, I won't really barf. :P

Aww, this post is just sad. :( It doesn't have a photo attached to it. That doesn't really matter but I'll just post one anyway. Hmm... oh, I also did something new in Photoshop! I learned to vector shapes... well that's a /little/ easy and I know anyone can do it but I just did it since I was extremely bored. The one I did looked really simple. Here it is:

(just click on the image to make it bigger)

Again, I'm not brag, okay? :)) People are thinking that I'm bragging whenever I show what I did but no. I. Am. Not. Bragging. Let me just say that I don't consider myself as an editing master in Photoshop because I'm still a beginner like most of the people out there, okay? I'm still trying to learn and all.

That's all and goodbye! ^_^

Photoshop-ing

Hi. This whole day I was just Photoshop-ing. Oops, I meant I kept on using Photoshop the whole day.Yeah, so now I know more about Photoshop. :)) I learned some techniques (which are super hard to learn for me, by the way). I'm not trying to boast about anything, okay? :)) I'm actually quite bad at using Photoshop. I was experimenting stuff, and used lots of layers, brushes, photos, and all those whatsoever. :)) The theme was about school memories and all the school memories (pictures, etc.) I had were the ones when I was Grade 4. :D It took a long time to do and I ruined it completely. :(( I don't wanna post it on Facebook because the people there are quite... rude? :)) No offense. Here it is: (click on it for the original image)

Okay, so that's the picture I did. I put random words around because I thought it was quite lifeless. :O I was experimenting brushes and all, so it's messy. I didn't really care about the messiness. :)) By the way, it was meant to be dirty-ish. Tell me suggestions on which Photoshop art should I do next. :) Comment on the chatbox!

I have so many more, but I got to go right now. :D

Also, happy birthday to my Ate! :) Here's my little message for her (in Taglish!):

So hello Ate! Happy Birthday! I wanted to give you something na Grey's Anatomy-ish pero I didn't happen to find something like that. Okay, so my birthday gift for you na lang is libre ng PHP 5.oo. :)) Ahaha, pambili ng limang candy! Yay! JK!~ I actually wanted to say something bad about you but since it's your birthday, NVM. Luv ya! :-* >:D<

(PS: The kiss and hug smileys and the "Luv ya!" part are FAKE. I just did those 'cuz I had a feeling that I was KJ.)

Bye bye! :)

Limited. :O

Hey guys. I haven't posted for a while now. You got me feeling like a child now. OMG brainwash! Darn you, polluted mind of mines. It keeps on thinking of songs. xD By the way, if you don't get what I'm saying, the "You got me feeling like a child now" part is 2nd line of the lyrics of Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. :)) It's a pretty old song, but it just kinda whooshed in my mind. I wrote that in 'cuz it rhymed with "I haven't posted for a while now". :D Gets? ^_^ The real lyrics (the 1st line of the song) are actually, "I've been awake for a while now". Wow, long explanation. O_o I'm soooo weird...

Anyway, if you read the title above, you're probably wondering if it had connection with the first paragraph I just posted. Well, no. It's actually connected to this second paragraph (well, not really -- read on xD). Argh, I'm getting distracted by music in my ears... it's like flowing in my head. :| I just downloaded the latest music this week. Every week I download the latest Modern Music (pop, etc.) for the week. Yeah, so my computer is FILLED with music. :|

Okay, so I lied in my second paragraph. Now, I'm going to talk about the limitations for my internet usage. Yeah, there's limited internet even it's summer. How horrible is that?! :( But I have to stick to it because my parents will get mad. Or even my sister. How did they make sure I don't sneak out in case I was going to? Well, here's their solution:

Yes, it's really like that. It's spelled 'StayFocusd'. The time remaining is the elapsed time I have before it blocks all the pages in the internet. Yeah, so everyday I have the maximum of 6 hours. I have to wait the next day to use the computer. So, I have to spend my time wisely. It's an extension in Google Chrome that limits your internet usage.

You might tell me that I'm dumb because I had no idea at all that I should just change the settings and just change the elapsed time so that I could play the computer like forever. Okay, let me just say that I DID try to change the settings... but when I clicked on the button, this is what I got: (drag to your URL bar)

Yeahhh. :( There was something you needed to type. I didn't like typing so I didn't do it anyway. :))

So that's all. :D Bye!

Happy Birthday!

I really just want to greet my friends Happy Birthday! Yeah, the celebrants for this May.
First off, is Geli a.k.a. Albert... or simply just Angelika. :D Her birthday is on May 2 (I think?)... so belated Happy Birthday! Her birthday's obviously done by now, but you're never too late to greet, right? ;) I already greeted her via Facebook but I just would like to greet her again for being an amazing friend even there were hard times... thank youuuu! ^^ By the way, don't listen if I say bad stuff about you... I was just lying, okay? :))

Second is Patricia... or Whoops:)! :D We chat everytime in YM and Facebook Chat. Everytime I login in YM (I go invisible for safety purposes), my offline messages are filled with messages from her. :)) But I like it that way. ^^ Anyway, Happy Birthday! Her birthday is today and I already greeted her via Facebook also. Actually she's the only person I'm not afraid to say cheesy stuff to. :)) She's a really good friend when you get to know her, even though she's a little silent at first; but she isn't! Thank you! >:D<

And there's my Ate too... well, I just like to say Happy Birthday to her even though she's a little like my 'enemy'. :)) She's not the best Ate out there... but she's OK. No comment...

So that's all! Happy Birthday again! Bye!
