ART and STYLE: Powerpoint Backgrounds/Wallpapers

Here's a set of Powerpoint wallpaper that I've made for my presentations on school. Of course they're photoshopped artworks with brushes from again, Brusheezy.

 White background for black and dark texts.

 Same as the picture above but with the color inverted :)

 Pink BG that I've used for our groups Soc Sci presentation.

 Would you believe me if I tell you this is only one brush? :D

I created this right before my report just to have a new background for my slide XD

ANIME and MANGA: Hunter X Hunter 333 - Rumbles



The latest chapter of Hunter X Hunter is already scanlated on Mangareader.

The title of the new chapter is 'Rumbles'. At first thought, I knew that the story will be complicated, and I guessed that right. The title itself explains how the election for the next chairman of Hunter Association become a fierce battle of ones intellect.

The story starts shortly after the end part of the last chapter - Hunter X Hunter 332: Applause. With only Pariston left to share his speech, the hunters inside the area are still wild after hearing Leorio's speech. In the midst of the loud noise, Pariston made the crowd silent after telling that he also want Gon to recover. Then to rumble up the election, he announces that the election should get a bit more serious and to consider each of the candidates profile, Mizaistom is the most fit to be the new leader. As usual, Cheadle thinks deeply on what Pariston is saying. Though she is seen struggled and confused, she managed to still think the odds and ratio of the election. As a crime hunter, Mizaistom also sensed what Cheadle was thinking about. Though it was just an intuition, he declared that Pariston is a man from the dark side of the society that even Chairman Netero can't bring down.

The scene continues when Alluka agreed to Killua to heal Gon. Alluka then started to touch Gon's hand. Killua was shocked to see Gon's hand to appear thin as an old weak wood. Then Alluka's power was just incredibly enormous that even the Zoldyck family felt it from afar. Due to the large amount of power, Illumi seems to be obsessed again to have Alluka. On the election room, the hunter's also felt the unmeasurable power and left them still.

The 8th election for the 13th Chairman was done, and this time Leorio takes the lead with only  44.4% of votes on his side. Cheadle said the Pariston is finished, while the latter said that he feels the election is pretty much over. While conversing to Leorio, Pariston asked Leorio the same question asked to the candidates before "What you're going to do if you become the chairman?".

Having that king of ending, I'm guessing that Pariston is expecting Leorio to say again that he wants to make the Association his private property and to think of it, Pariston is kinda having the same idea/track though in the darker side. BTW, follow the link below to see the whole chapter :))

NEWS and SOCIAL NET/ART and STYLE: OLFU - Valenzuela Celebrates Chinese New Year

The celebration is one day late but still, Our Lady of Fatima University, Valenzuela City Campus held an event for the yearly Chinese New Year. Lead by the College of Nursing, the event features a bright and cheerful atmosphere within the campus' Quadrangle.

 *Photo edited because I like seeing it have an old Chinese feast feel :))

My day started off when I reached the school late and that I didn't see how the program began. When I got there, everyone's waiting for the Dragon dance to start. Its been quite a while when the dance started due to some i-dont-know-what-happened reason. I was still able to record the dance in the midst of the crowd. *Warning: The Video is like a roller coaster ride (lol)


Booths were created featuring some of the Chinese tradition that we usually encounter. The booths are as follow: Photo booth, Food and Beverage booths - sells sugarcane juice, dimsums and tikoy (a Chinese rice cake), Wedding booth - invites student couples to experience a traditional Chinese wedding, Lucky Charms booth, Fortune Telling booth, Educational booth - teaches students basic Mandarin, and Poster Exhibit. 

I got the chance to take photos of some posters made by my co-Nursing students which cost me only 10 pesos (rofl)

Another highlight of the event is the Wushu exhibition by selected Nursing students. This is when the crowd started to be wilder as they cheer for their own section's representative and their friends. I also managed to get a bit closer to the center of the quadrangle to watch and record the exhibition. BTW, the whole Section 6 is proud for our representatives - Jean Cabungan and Jeremiah Bantigue (the soloist on nunchaku). See their performance below.


I went out of the school early waiting for my classmates to arrive so that we can look around the booths together, but duties are just another conflict in our lives. In the end, after reading posts from the others who made this event work, it was really an awesome day for all of us. Congratulations to everyone!


*Regards to:

  • Ms. Joan Dionisio and Ms. Fatima Lee
  • To my fellow class representatives
  • To the performers :)

NEWS and SOCIAL NET / SONGS and MUSIC: Steven Tyler's Anthem Rendition


Steven Tyler's rock version of the American's National Anthem causes a stir now as the video goes viral on Youtube having more than 1.6 million views after being upload on January 22, 2012.

The idol judge was critiqued by Associated Press saying that his performance wouldn't make him go to Hollywood himself. Yahoo! Sports even said that, 'Steven Tyler's scarf better than 'Star-Spangled Banner' rendition. As you can hear from the video crowds were cheering or booing or i-don't-know-what-they're-screaming-for.
Youtube people we're arguing over Steven's song. Mixed comments were posted but I see a lot of positive reactions from users. I also find the song nice for a rocker guy singing his own National Anthem!! Let's just leave him alone and let him feel his passion for rock music :) Here are some of the Youtube post.

ANIME and MANGA: Hunter X Hunter 332 - Applause


The latest chapter of the Hunter X Hunter manga has been released last Friday with the title "Applause.

The chapter starts off after the ending of the previous chapter which is all about X-day. On Chapter 331 Ging (the father on Gon) explained to Cheadle - one of Ging colleague in the Zodiac - the real objective of Pariston for running as the president of the Hunter Association.

This chapter is pretty interesting that I can't imagine what Yoshihiro Togashi is writing next. After seeing Cheadle realize what could be the best strategy to win the election, I already felt my heart beating fast as the real climax is coming. Her and Mizaistom's votes will be put on to Leorio's shoulder after the speech that Cheadle made. Leorio, being the free-willed friend of Gon delivered a not so selfish speech telling every Hunter in the hall that if he won, he will make the association his private property and command every hunter to make Gon recover from his unkown condition The hunters, impressed by his speech, cheered for him. During these times, I'm not sure if Pariston's reaction shows that he's troubled or just intrigued. Meanwhile, on the isolated hospital for Gon, Alluka just woke up and was asked by Killua to heal Gon. As the chapter ends, Alluka agreed to Killua and a catchphrase was written and says 'the time finally comes'.


Here is the plot from Hunter X Hunter Wikia:

Mizaistom sacrifices himself and asks his fellow Hunters to vote for Cheadle. When she went in front, Cheadle only wanted the other Hunters to vote for Leorio which surprised most of them. Meanwhile, Leorio is too preoccupied with thinking about his speech. Piyon already called him but he was not paying attention. Leorio started his speech with acting immediately in curing Gon. He states that when Leorio was doing nothing but drinking or studying, Gon was fighting with the ex-chairman Netero.Finally, Alluka wakes and finds himself inside Gon's room. Killua explains Gon's situation but Alluka disapproves, as he doesn't want to turn into "it" again and leave Killua. He assures Alluka that they will always be togerther, just like he promised. From someplace else, Illumi thinks of a way about the situation and defines Alluka's ability as an unbelievably strong tool if tamed.Back to Leorio, he begs the Hunters that if anyone knows how to save Gon, tell him. With this, Cheadle figured out that the reason that Ging did not dodge Leorio's attack on him before was because he saw potential for Leorio to become a good chairman as long as he is given their support, which led her the decision to hand her votes to Leorio and not let Pariston have his way. The audience applaused for a very good speech, which also surprised Leorio. Pariston then makes his way in front, but Cheadle knows for sure that Pariston will not win no matter what he say.Killua asks "it" to turn Gon back to normal, to which "it" agrees.
