The first person who responds to this journal, tell me what you like about my art/give some sort of compliment on my work.

the second person to reply, do the same thing but do it for the person who responded before you...and so on.

You give and you get

Who says Thanksgiving is only to be celebrated in the US of A? We've all got a lot to be thankful for, so...Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today, I got up and told myself "I am doing an hour of yoga after work".

That was what I said yesterday. And the day before that. And the day before that...What can I say? When it comes to procrastination, I reign supreme! Although holding off saving up for "rainy days" has proven to be a bad idea time and time again, I still go on uncontrollable coffee binges, with Starbucks and Star Mart robbing me blind of my cash. Yep. If I'm not spending on clothes or books or whatever stuff I don't need, I am spending it on food and coffee. Coffee. I just cant get enough of it!

And then halfway through the second pay period for this month, I am almost out of cash and Starbucks and all the other coffee shops and restaurants are very very happy, I get a call from my mum saying I'll have to take my brother with me, move out of the apartment we're renting (which she is currently paying for) and get a place I can afford. I can do that. But she wants it ASAP and then I suddenly wished I had started saving up a few months ago. Now, I expect to be rat poor in 3 weeks. Gah.

Well. That ought to teach me a lesson. So.

Because I've been really really REALLY REALLY behind on my "saving my ass 10dollars a day" plan, I'm going to need all the help I can get to raise enough for deposits and advanced payments for a new apartment. (The one we're in now costs PHP12K and I can't afford that if I'm going to be paying for all the other bills too.) I'm planning to move out next month and, well, God save my behind. So! Without further ado, I am -again- open for commissions. Well, time and again, I go from striving artist to starving artist, what can I say?

I'm not an expert at DOTA and I really do not know what all the items do or where to buy them, unless someone actually points it out. I just play with 1 or 2 heroes and sit next to my brother who tells me what to do. It's all good since the heroes I used to play have been under his wing for a long time and he plays it well so he knows how to go about playing AND teaching at the same time.





But recently, I've decided to try another character. One my brother doesn't like using. So although I get help from friends whenever I try to figure out how to use him, I really want to know if this Rofftrellen character can do anything amazing or is really something a team needs.


We've been having regular DOTA nights during Saturdays, just for fun (and the fun really comes AFTER the game, when we're bashing each other and laughing at all the wrong and smart ass moves all of us make ). I've been told that at the beginning of the game, I should start off with bracers (2 of them) and boots, getting to treads. Then I assemble a Vanguard and Assault Cuirass. Then, if the game gets too long, maybe I can assemble a Satanic, but I've never done that. I've never been asked to use Rooftrellen as a support character and they use me as a tanker. But I've read in some forums (half of them, I don't understand) that the Treant Protector is really a support character.

I've never paid much attention on which skills I should get first and why. I just focus on getting the ultimate at level 6 and then..well, whatever. D'you have any advice for me? Make it simple because I am not a forum kind of person and no technical stuff and abbreviations please, I've been playing for more than a year but I think I'm still a newbie at it. I'm not trying to play like a die-hard DOTA dude does, I just want to be enlightened. haha.

Thanks much.

Hey guys. I need your help.

I'm using a Vista right now (Enterprise...yes, because it's the only one with multiple license for our team) and I'm thinking of switching to Windows 7.

Does anyone know if it still has bugs? Is it better than Vista? Friggin Vista Enterprise eats up 1 whole GB off of my 4GB RAM!!!

They're the only original operating systems we have right now.

I took The Demoiselles' challenge of posting a picture of myself with no make-up on, to show the world that there IS real beauty underneath all that gunk we put on our faces.

I would have loved to take my "no make-up" picture in the morning right after waking up, but I'm usually screaming "Oh sh*t I'm late" and running around the house figuring out what I should be doing first. So, I decided to do it here in the office once my adrenaline has slowed down to a normal rate.

And...(I hope I won't regret this)...so..here's my no make-up picture:



Other than the very dark and puffy eye bags, I think it turned out ok. And thanks to my freckles, pimples aren't too noticeable when they pop out of my face on days I least expect them to. Perfect cover-up.

Help win the fight against this anti-progressive beauty standard by uploading your own makeup-less photos through your blogs/plurks/tweets...or in your DA journals. Of course, don't forget to send me links!
