Think about this

2009-05-11T08:57:00.001+07:00

(Jesus Speaking) When you have to approach someone who is intimidating, take a second and think about what their life might be like under the surface. You might hear Me whisper something like this to your heart: “That important businessman might give off a cold or uninterested air when you approach him, but he has a hard time at work because there are other companies that threaten his. He

I believe ...

2009-01-21T18:08:00.001+07:00

I believe you can't be whole if you’ve never been broken. I believe it’s living a lie if you don’t tell the truth will hurt to be told, yet defines everything. I don’t believe you can truly know what it’s liked to be loved by Jesus until you’ve tried to make yourself happy with just about everything else. It really hurts. It can take years you feel were wasted once you realize you slept through

Which is more worth it?

2008-12-11T13:44:00.001+07:00

Jesus: The way of the true disciple is to give all to Me, knowing that this life is short by comparison to the heavenly rewards that are awaiting. Trust fully in My love for you, knowing that I give what is best for you, and that which will make you happy. Making choices in life can be tough, but this quote really helped give me an out-of-the-blue peek at the big picture. Think of the following

For the want of a shoe ...

2008-11-10T22:11:00.001+07:00

This post has nothing to do about shoes. It's just a lament of sorts, lamenting how I'm a bad blogger, and becoming poor in my writing. Yes, lamenting is a sin, so skip this if you wish, but you'll understand in the end if you read on. You see, I've come to discover that there are three things essential to outstanding writing: practice, passion, and necessity. And the thing is, these are three

It's worth it!

2008-09-30T14:20:00.001+07:00

You know I realize something at this exact moment. I just watched one of those typical movies that made me think, and its 1:51 in the morning, and this virtual page was so invitingly empty, and I just want to say this before the moment fades and I have to try to recreate what I feel right now, a collage of my past, present and future emotions mixed with emotions loaned to me on a one-night loan

I was asked the other morning to appreciate one of the babies, who's just a few months old. I thought of it a little, not really prepared as most people are when asked to appreciate someone else. When I Lily (the kid), I thought of smiles and cuddliness. But when I really thought of it, I realized that actually Lily makes everyone around her feel special. You feel so wonderful that you can make

Quotes from The Notebook

2008-09-18T22:54:00.002+07:00

Stumbled over one of my favorite books online today and was skimming through it. Here's a few favorite passages, no reason, no significance ... it's nice when it's like that isn't it? When passages just speak to you, lift one side of your smile. And with every kiss, with every breath, she felt herself, every responsibility, every facet of her life, slipping away. I am a common man with common

Blogging, a year on.

2008-09-18T22:45:00.002+07:00

A year ago my blog died. Like a man deep into old age, with no more reason to live then to rarely show that he still had a little love to give, it gave one last breath and slipped into oblivion. Rebirth is here. Why? I don't know. Perhaps leaving too many thoughts left to conglomerate the mind is bad practice, and I'm feeling the effects of it, perhaps sometimes I just want to be heard, perhaps

This is the first time I used my blog to force myself to draw, lol. Two posts back I told myself I would draw, so I just shut down the computer and did, this was the outcome. It's a little difficult to explain, I'll explain what it all means if anyone asks. Cheers!! Hope you all like it.PS. I was particularly happy with this cuz I didn't copy it.

I Need To DRAW!

2007-10-11T20:24:00.001+07:00

It's just a very straightforward thing; I need to draw.I haven't drawn anything in a very long time. I'm out of practice, out of touch, and feeling very uncreative. It's not really that I'm lacking incentive, as I usually draw when I really want to express something, yet I do have things to express. I want to express what it was like seeing my girlfriend after not seeing her for almost 2 months.

What to do when missing XD

2007-10-04T11:15:00.000+07:00

I think anyone who has recently come back from the XD CORE is missing it in some way, it’s just natural. Even I, as much as I said I wouldn’t sorrowfully miss camp and would blend seamlessly back into home life, have gotten all the expected reminiscent pangs that comes from a wonderful 3 weeks. I miss you all of you people, I really do. And I could go into all the how’s and wherefores of how and

It's just past midnight and I just finished watching Sweet November, which I'm ready to call a classic. If you don't like romantic movies, too much deep talking, or cringe when someone says "Let's think about life", then please forgive me, but as for those who know me, they'll understand why I like this movie.I could write a lot of different things about this movie, but there's one main thing it

Love is nothing without the Lord, the reason to live for

2007-07-08T14:25:00.000+07:00

Something I read that I liked, for the writing. Clear, concise, emotionally descriptive. But what this really said to me was "thank God I don't have to live a life without the Lord, because being in love can keep you alive, but only the Lord can give you a reason to live."Read this, and then tell me if I'm wrong.2669-B by DibujandoIn the early hours, when he is still asleep, she begins

I must admit I often copy details of my graphics from one project to the next. Little things I’m sure not everyone would notice, but for me it’s a BIG thing. Simply because it means I don’t have to think something new up, I just use the same concept.This piece is an example of that. I used the curves in the background twice before already … and probably will again in the future. But I like it

From the neighborhoods of gulping sewage and empty taxi cabs, to the boutique class of tree-lined mansions and unused supercars, Bangkok can be as different as Bush and Osama in class. The streets mix the exotic with the westernized, the local with the imported, promotion of Thai culture mixed with Coca Cola adds. You can see at

I must admit that witnessing adds a lot of spice to life. It’s always an adventure, results never fail to surprise, it’s exciting to meet each unique sheep, and one can learn anything from advanced bus route skills to sales perfection from it. I have never had a day when I came back from witnessing unfulfilled because the Lord always does SOMETHING to make your day, and his miracles are amazing.

I enjoy it, although perhaps I do do it to much and spend a slightly large part of the day at that screen, sometimes I can’t really help it, my work is so very fun. I have a great ministry. So here’s something I’ve been working on, a site, and

But I also am kept thoroughly amused by the many around when I walk long ways in the city, often not because of my love of walking, but because walking is faster than the bus in traffic. Bangkok is a fascinating

Quotes by Dave Barry - part 2

2006-07-18T21:43:00.000+07:00

... yes, I knew you wanted more ..."What happens if a big asteroid hits Earth? Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we can assume it will be pretty bad.""Look closely at Central America, and try to imagine what would happen if this vital region were to fall into Communist hands. What would happen is a lot of Communists would be stung

Quotes by Dave Barry - part 1

2006-07-18T21:38:00.000+07:00

Dave Barry is simply my favorite humorist. You just have to read a few of these to know why."The only really good place to buy lumber is at a store where the lumber has already been cut and attached together in the form of furniture, finished, and put inside boxes.""Males have a lot of trouble not looking at breasts. What is worse, males cannot look at breasts and think at the same time. In fact,

Quality or Quantity

2006-07-17T22:05:00.000+07:00

I think I am finding, or realizing, or making myself believe that blogging in quantity is slightly better than hardly blogging at all and just putting up a post, no matter how good, once every blue moon.So perhaps I shall start to blog a slight bit morePerhaps notWait and see!

Filling out a questionaire and things I love

2006-07-10T00:31:00.000+07:00

Well Ely tagged me to do this questionnaire thing, which I think is a really good idea as most bloggers read others blogs and enjoy the reading but still would like to know more of the person than simply what is portrayed in their blogging. So here goes …Favorite style of musicI’m really a person controlled by moods. An artistic mood from me can result in a masterpiece, a literary mood from me in

The beach: More than sun, sand and sea.

2006-06-25T22:24:00.000+07:00

I’m off to the land of sun, sand and sea! Yes, it doesn’t take much to guess, it’s a beach, and it’s vacation. I don’t know why it’s been like this all my life, but I have lived in a go-to-the-beach for vacation world for as long as I remember. Me and my friends always had great fantasies of vacation in a soggy tent in the lush jungles of Thailand, leaches our constant companion, or even in the

Unique, a word I love

2006-06-15T02:10:00.000+07:00

People are all unique and have their special qualities, but you don’t necessarily “connect” with everyone you meet. I for one enjoy meeting new people immensely, if it could be called a hobby it would be among my top five. I can’t sum up people, I’m terrible at sun signs, and half the time I mess up conversations and misinterpret things. But with certain people none of that matters. You don’t

Gabriel versus Baachus

2006-06-14T21:09:00.001+07:00

Yep, I did it again, crazy ain't it, so much art in such a short time when I was doing like none before. I kind of feel bad for my pencils though, they must be lonely. I actually have at least 4 unfinished peices lying there soaking up sust at the moment, shows how poor I am at finishing what I start, sigh. Well, I'll finish them sometime, or should I say, some year. But for now you can just

Above It All -- more vector

2006-06-12T22:59:00.001+07:00

Computer art may be an odd subject to you all, something you’d only find in a M.I.T. textbook. Perhaps, and I really only started doing this week, lol, although I’ve done a lot of vector illustrations in the past, I’ve just started doing it as art now, which is an interesting thing. You see, the type of vector illustrations I like are usually quite abstract. Pictures with lines that are obsessed

A birthday card

2006-06-10T20:48:00.000+07:00

This is a card I made for a special someone long ago, actually a year ago. And now I want to share it with you, so that you can send it to others, if you wish. I’m putting it up here for you to see, and download it if you wish at the link. And to that very special someone I say, I love you very much and will always love you, you are a very special friend. I hope you don’t mind me sharing

Vector Art

2006-06-09T10:39:00.001+07:00

Now I was going to blog about something else at this moment, but I’m not in a real writing mood so I thought I’d write about this. Vector Art, my new love! Ok, dictionary popping up here … a vector is: a mathematical expression denoting a combination of magnitude and direction, as velocity. My God they make it sound disgusting, how could I love that! Ok, maybe I should use my own words. Basically

A facelift - and it's all nicky's fault!

2006-06-09T10:24:00.000+07:00

So I decided to change my template. Actually it was a fine morning in this lovely sickroom and I thought to myself, today I’m not going to work on all the many projects, I’m not going to work, I’m going to sit back and do art! But I’m a workaholic, well not really, but today I was, and after word time I was sucked into this simple little idea that had popped through my head, “Why not make a

THE days ...

2006-05-31T21:08:00.000+07:00

I used to wake up early … really early. And now I woke up at noon and thought to myself, where has that gone. I used to wake up an hour before everyone else would groggily fall out of bed and reach out with mad eyes for the one who had splashed water at them. Then the older ones would taunt the younger ones with fresh cups of coffee, telling them how “only older guys can drink coffee”. Yes, you

My dream

2006-05-30T16:56:00.000+07:00

My dream is a wispy balcony, some cool juice which is endless in supply, pineapple and lychee flavors for a calm afternoon. A full kit of watercolors, oils, gouaches, pens, inks, chalks, brushes and stains … a full set, yet I will use none of these. For this balcony, this setting, is for pencils, pencils … in perfect array. They have to come in tens, ten of each. B’s, H’s E’s. Burnt chalk pencils

Oui! Déjà vu

2006-05-29T21:53:00.000+07:00

What can you do when you simply stare into the future and you see all those repeats of your past hitting you in the face? Déjà vu’s are an interesting thing: untamed. No, I did not have a déjà vu, although I do have them often enough and I ease through each as I would a toll booth. Each time in a different way. Sometimes I hang out the window and pretend to the bewildered toll man that I am

I'm Sick

2006-05-25T21:25:00.000+07:00

Yes, I'm sick. I'm very sick and actually have been for almost a week now. But no, I'm not complainning. Do you know why? It's because I get to have another 2 weeks or more in here in relative free, unbridled ... loneliness. No, I'm not soooo lonely, but I am missing my internet and being foolish in the kitchen. I have chicken pox, what I am told is a very contagious disease, so yeah, can't get

Songkran is here

2006-04-13T21:48:00.000+07:00

Songkran started today, for Bangkok at least. Songkran is a water festival in Thailand where everyone has a lovely time splashing water on each other and going to see relatives, sound fun doesn't it? Well it is! The kids had fun this afternoon, donning their heavy-action water guns, they prepared the field of war, putting amunition (large water tanks) in strategic places they looked each other up

2005-11-13T23:47:00.000+07:00

OK, it’s about time I actually WRITE something in this blog. I think I’m actually gonna put up all the stuff from my former blog … someday. But I guess I better write about this blog.I guess I kind of halfway-with-intense-compromise understood the whole concept of blogging. You see, some people actually do have things to say. They are usually people who write with ease, have proficient

Good memories come to salvage bad moods

2005-09-20T17:05:00.000+07:00

I must admit that I was I a super bad mood last night, hence my short, verbally uneventful blog entry yesterday. I think it started … dunno, the dull day I guess and it just sort of grew into this giant <":}{(^^&$$!!!!!! You know what I mean. Then when I lost that game which I put so much physical and mental concentration into the dam levee burst and New Orleans was flooded! But I didn’t want to

The cycling ameatuer, ME!!

2005-09-12T22:58:00.000+07:00

Today was my day off. Last night I had pledged to myself I would wake up at a civilized time but I ended up waking up at 12:30. Oh well. Then in the afternoon I went to the park and did cycling for a loooong time. Was great, haven’t done it for a while so it was good. Got a good bike, unlike what I usually get. It just seems there is always something wrong with the bikes I rent there. It’s either

Getting lost in a congested city ... anyone for a second round?

2005-09-11T22:46:00.000+07:00

Today I went to do a party. We weren’t the main entertainment, but we just did 2 puppet shows. You would think that would take away any hecticness that games, hungry kids, concerned parents, face-painting, face-painting-equipment-raiders, etc. may have brought to the proceedings, right? So everything would go just perfect because the job was so easily put out for us, right? Oh how could you be so

Me against the winners

Just because it went well with Asiabooks design stance and was realistic for a shopping bag unlike some designs that were nicely creative, but unrealistic to actually produce.This was my submission for the contest.The concept they provided was "bag the knowledge with

Today: rain, letters and being a good loser

2005-09-10T21:34:00.000+07:00

Today I was out all day seeing friends and collecting stuff for a trip we will be making to Petchburi, a province outside of Bangkok, where we will be doing activities in October. Had a good day. One manager agreed to help with 200 shirts and 200 shorts/pants which is wonderful, I see some people do have a good heart. We also gave 7 Christmas CD cards to a friend. He said it was the first time he

Today I was on lunch! An interesting propect because we had visitors. Actually the task set out for me was pretty simplistic, kow pat (fried rice) but oh how good I am at making easy things complicated (...why you have to go and make things so complicateeeeedddddd!!). Just I did everything in the wrong order, which is so characteristical of my cooking skills. The first batch had too much soy

Why does this always happen to me! I start a project, the concept is there, I'm ready to run and poof!! I go all mental block on myself! That's what happened today, I had to start on a new project, portfolio template for a few people to use, and I knew exactly what I was doing until I started trying to brainstorm ... my brain stormed!! And I just sat there for 45 minutes turning up mediocre

Another kids party and getting lost again

2005-06-12T22:53:00.000+07:00

Today was another kids party. And yes, we did get lost again!! Of course this time we put safeguards in place, left early, got there early and ... no one's there! Hmm, funny. So we sit and wait, and sit and wait, and sit and wait some more while watching some senior citizens try to play golf. Then we get a call saying, why aren't you people there, everyones waiting for you! It turned out that yes
