Photoshop Tutorial&Whatever
Since I am dead on bored, I'll just post this tutorial that I found and did my own stunts.
Actually, I did this too because Kai liked it and I wanted to tease her. lmao.
So, we're going to do this;
to this one.
<< (I left mine plain, but you can add text or whatever if you really want to) Using Photoshop cs2(I use ps2) 1. First, start off with your base. (You can use mine, but feel free to try any picture you like) 2. If it needs sharpening, sharpen it. Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen
3. Duplicate your base/layer to screen(Layer>Duplicate Layer). 100% in opacity
4. New Layer(Layer>New Layer) and floodfill with 033A65, set to 70% in opacity
5. Duplicate your last layer and then set to screen-70%
6. You now have a bleachy picture, but we're going to change that.
Duplicate your base and then bring to top. Set the opacity to 50%
7. It looks OK now, but we're gonna change that to a more sharper look. More blue.
New layer and fill with AEDAFC. Set to color burn-100% opacity
8. Duplicate your last layer and then color burn-100%
9. As you can see, it is a little bit darker. You can change that by duplicating your base, bring to top and then set to screen-50%
10. You are now finished. But if you want it to be lighter, just duplicate your last layer and set it to screen, maybe 40-50% in opacity.
There you have it xD
So, anyway, about hours ago, I was just in my friend's house while we watched
Scream 2. They screamed. Literally. It was really funny seeing them acting like babies when the sound comes in full volume, meaning, the killer is almost there. Especially the part where
David Arquette gets attacked by the killer. Okay, so I hid a little even though I know the story. Whatt?? Not my fault my friends are scarier than the movie.
While we waited for Alizza's aunt to finish exercising. (LMAO, right?) Alizza has this weird stalker that's been saying this sooo not frightening text messages.
The clues so far? It can be a boy or a girl or even a gay person, actually FEELS they know twilight, knows the comprehension of english and french, and can speak in a direct english like I can. lmao. (Trust me, the students at RMES are MORONS when it comes to english. Peace dudes.)
And then, when it was longer and I was insulting him/her, he/she tells Alizza she/he likes her! Bleh. I might even gag.
And they are right about me. If someone did that to me, obviously, mura agad matatanggap nila saakin xD
I am worth;
You are worth exactly

Devoted Love Like This
Okay. I don't usually post pictures like that. But hey, it was cute and it's not my fault if Sophia sent it to me. Anyway, and
NO... I didn't turn emo xD. Are you crazy?
So, we had our
Baccalaureate mass yesterday. It was kind of okay. Some of my friends were representatives there. Like a speaker. If you actually go to a mass, you know what I'm saying. We had a stampede as we went back to school. Our adviser told the parents to come back to school with us so they could show where they will be seated. It was cool, mostly, but pretty boring. So, anyway, I am currently doing two graphic entries for this graphic contest. And I am currently bored just thinking about it.
So...
Earth Hour kanina. I didn't participate because my parents called me an idiot for typing in the dark xD
I also got my
TG ish today. Oh man... I hate my picture. LOL.
Currently doing my usual.. twittering and plurking. You know us weirdos, we stick together no matter what.
Sophia is also telling me about this guy that was stalking her and Shannen(her friend). I honestly can't believe guys have the nerve to just follow you around and then asking if they can have your cell phone number. Like, ew.
Also, I won the first challenge in this graphic making contest. Nice... I didn't see that one coming. LOL. Honestly, I was shocked since I kinda hated mine. Vintage blue effect. THANK YOU LIVEJOURNAL FOR THE TUTORIALS ON PS CS2.
And also, GIMP. But today, I'm bored. Lazy enough not to do the requests until tomorrow. LOL
ILY guys!

I Might Gag For No Reason
So it is already night here. Anyway, I'm just here doing nothing in particular. And I also had my period. LOL. It's not my fault if mine is irregular. Anyway, for some damn reason, I joined a role play. I don't really want to know why I did it. But I did it. No going back.
So the picture on top of this was saved in a graphic challenge I joined. At least it was not eliminated. I did not want that to happen, do I?
SOOO... We had our graduation practices today. It was okay. But I stink. And they said my whole name; Nikki Valerie DJ. Flores. Oh c'mon.
I didn't clap for the other honors like I was supposed to. Mainly Jerome and Saira. Like, ew. Go to hell you two.
I should sleep right now. But I don't want to. And who's stopping me anyway? My two sisters are still outside doing whatever. Actually, the first one is on a date, the other one went to Mercury(pharmacy).
One of my classmates were also absent, so my barkada can have fun. Only half, since she's as crazy as I am.
I'm really bored.
ILY! XD

Not That Girl
So, I did this mag cover way back. I just thought of putting it now because I don't know what picture to add or video. LMAO. Yeah... so hard, Nikki.
Anyway, so I had a fight with one of my friends(girl in the center of the magazine cover)
Sooo... I still haven't said sorry. I am just weird.
I also finished my two graphic contest entries. And the poll for this graphic contest I entered is already up. And I also edited my
playlist from
friendster. Hey... it's not my fault if I'm weird. I named it,
"Broken Bridge" I so don't know why I named it that. Haha.
Also... tomorrow is Monday and I so don't want that to happen.
We have graduation practices tomorrow and it will be soo hot out there. And especially annoying if the boys mess up. Fck those do goody moronic boys. I hate them. =))
Hhmm... so, I am officially bored so I will be logging out later. Until I finished singing anyway. Haha. And I am gaining posts from
Total Girl and
MileyFans and also
SelenaWebs so I am getting addicted with that.
OH YEAH! My
new addiction as songs are
Forever&Always by
Taylor Swift and
Diva by
Beyonce. Haha... It's all my stupid sister's fault for making me listen to
Diva on
iTunes. That's why I changed my official song here. But my really real theme song is
Unwritten by
Natasha Bedingfield. LOL. I don't know why, really.
Why I am doing this, I am singing and typing my story. I don't know why I'm typing up a story since I don't even know how I'll use it someday.
And when my parents saw my graduation picture with me wearing a dang toga... my dad anyway... he got all mushy and daddy-ish embarrassing with me saying I look like him. Haha! I get that all the time so it doesn't seem weird to me.
Taylor Swift's Forever and Always LyricsOnce upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye
And we caught onto something
I hold onto the night, you looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding?
Cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I don’t feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened, please tell me
Cause one second it was perfect, now you’re halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone, he still hasn’t called
And then you feel so low you can’t feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone
Cause i was there when you said forever and always
Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure
So here’s to everything coming down to nothing
Here’s to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute, but i don’t anymore
And I stare at the phone, he still hasn’t called
And then you feel so low you can’t feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone
Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn’t mean it baby
I don’t think so
Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
Cause it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone
Cause I was there when you said forever and always
And I stare at the phone, he still hasn’t called
And then you feel so low you can’t feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always
And it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone
Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Didn’t mean it baby
You said forever and always

The Sequel
So. I'm back. The sickness is gone and Ramon Magsaysay Elementary School is now practicing for the 6th Grade graduation. We're all excited about this thing.
Anyway, the photo above is of Mr. Gaspard Ulliel my current crush. Haha. I don't really do the boys at my school. Basically, they're idiots. So I prefer celebrity crushes.
Soo... it's my desktop wallpaper for our ragged and cheap computer. While I am typing this I am also chatting with a few people on YM for something to do. Hey, it's a Friday. Midnighter!
Today, our adviser gave out the pictures of the whole section 1 wearing they're togas. I looked... okay I guess. But when Ma'am Benoza saw me not looking at the picture or laughing at it like anybody else, well, she basically called me directly.
Hey, it's not my fault if I was having a bad time. It's because I had a head ache and I lost at scrabble. Not basically... just. Forget about it.
Anyway, she joked about me being bad trip is because of LQ. Love Quarrel. Meaning, I just turned down someone's offer to be his girl friend or something like that. But really, the boys at school knew better than to ask ME out. Oh c'mon. They're not that stupid. There intellectual being can somehow have some cell in that thing you call their brain.
Doing nothing at this moment that can particularly race across your minds. I'm just watching re-runs of my favorite Korean drama series, Princess Hours. I just love this. It can send shivers donw my spine like when I first read Twilight, the book.
I still remember the characters. Gian, Janelle, Troy and of course the bitch Monique. In real life she isn't but, well... I hate her. Haha. I was so addicted to this series, I would risk every shout from my parents just to finish this.
And sometimes, I just sleep right through it when it's the boring parts.
I don't think there are still re-runs happening in Studio 23. I know the last time they showed it, it was Sunday. But when I always check on Sundays, there isn't any. Just masses every Sunday.
Anyway, I thought Kai how to speak a direct tagalog sentence. My influencial mind can somehow be useful too.
Anyway, enough about that. I'm currently waiting for my sister to come home so I could at least not lock the gate yet. I always sleep fast whenever I read The Twilight Series. So that's how I do it. I am currently reading Eclipse for God knows how many times.
I am also waiting for the replies on my graphic contest because of the task I posted. Tnere are only 2 who passed and I'm not sure who they are, basically.
ILY!

Sick Of This Song
Yes. The stupid graphic above is by, yours truly. LMAO. I tried a tutorial posted in MileyFans and that is the result. Not very good. I even asked Kai for some directions.
Also, I'm sick.
Yes. The Walking Advertisement For Weirdness is sick. The hyper dude is sick. Nikki is sick. The song I am listening to is sick.
So, anyway, basically, I am absent in school. Hazel told me they just rehearsed for baccalaureate, but I'm not sure. And the last payment for the graduation tuition fee is on Friday. Some old dudes took our pictures for the graduation pictures wearing a toga. It was also Foundation Day yesterday so the Drum and Lyre played. Even though it rained. That's why I'm sick right now.
And also, Sophia asked me if we could make a story together. I agreed. Pretty much.
The lead character's name is Justine Taylor Raymer. I thought of the last name, she though of the first name. She's somehow one third Irish, one third Dutch and one third American. And she is portrayed by Evita Tests, this very pretty model Sophia recommended. She took care of the photo edit, I took care of the biography. It's basically half a job.
Anyway, sorry if I did not post much for the last few days. I was bored, really. Yeah. The answer is laziness. Hey, not my fault. I'm just a clueless twelve year old girl that lives with her parents and siblings. Too much? I can see that.
My head and stomach still aches, but that couldn't simply over power the weirdness of me. LOL.
ILY GUYS!

Bring It On
Okay. So this is like any other day. But my dad's at work, my mom's gone, my older sister is at work, my other sister is in school. The only person left in this house of course is my bro and I. I just ate halo-halo to cool me down and I'm currently downloading
Adobe Photoshop cs3 so I could have something to do. We have the
cs2 CD but I'm kinda full on that thing.
Anyway, the pictures from left to right are from yesterday's
Recollection. Before and after.
So, I'm checking this
LJ tutorial that a friend of mine recommended me to use.
And I am currently downloading fonts and brushes for
Photoscape and stuff.
So I am just currently bored to hell.

Recollection
Boo. I cried. I effin' cried! Come on Nikki. Show some dignity!
But I took some pictures of my friends. LOL. It was fun really. No matter what. Especially Brother Jimboy. He can be a actor if he wanted to. And yeahh... I kinda fell asleep when he told us to close our eyes and think of the "winter things in our life".
I used the open mike thing to apolgize to Angeline for being a jerk. Hey... being an obnoxious jerk has it's ways. Both good and bad. I think.
Anyway, I had fun this time. I am currently reading
Ambition; A Private Novel by Kate Brian. Aww Josh! How can you be so stupid sometimes? Reed was drugged moron! =))
Currently making a set about it xD
And the clip avatars I promised I'm gonna make. If I'm not bored, I think.

Breaking into the Wild
Okay. So we watched this movie just a few hours. It's My Only ü. It was okay, I guess. I like the love team. That got me thinking on how
I would die. LOL. It's pretty weird for me anyway. But hey, that's me for you. I'm always thinking that because you never know. You can die just this once without even saying goodbye.
And then, our adviser announced that a kid from the 2nd Grade
died. Just like that. He was like... only eight or seven. That's harsh. Apparently, he fell from a tree. That's all.
And then Ma'am Benoza said,
"Dying is something unexpected. We may never know why God took the kid away. And we do not have the right to ask him why."How sad. When I was in the 2nd Grade, I was a brat. Still am, actually.
Anyway, because of my said boredom, I am currently gonna make video avvies. I'm that bored. I already made a batch of them.
Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift, Paramore, Hey Monday, Lady GaGa, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and many more.I'm just like, really bored. It's even a miracle on how I can type while saying
bored too many times.
By the way, the picture I used for this entry is from
tinypic.com, so thanks out there. Whoever made this banner which is quite larger, it is magnificent.
While I was bored, I changed our desk top back round, the color(silver) and I also unmute our headsets. Apparently, that was the case on how I can't hear anything. Stupid.

Just Another Day
So, our adviser left us for a while to go to another school to fix the rankings on the honor thing. I don't really care about getting an honor. I just want to graduate is the heck of it.
Also, I have recently joined Plurk for the fun because I heard it was as cool as Twitter. Two websites that can let people know what you're doing. But I see more MF members doing the Twitter thing. It's like a new accessory there.
Where was I? Oh yeah.
This day, when I got home, my dad accused me of lying to him. All because I didn't text that I want to go home like we usually do. You see, he's kinda like my father slash driver. Haha. That's where you see the devil in me.
Anyway, since our adviser was gone, it was pretty much all day riot for us. And there's this rule; No cup, Get Out. Like I care. But just in case, I got my own cup. Crazy me.
After that, after my dad accused and blah blah blah, I found my little nephew Aiden in my sister's arms, cradling him to sleep. Which, I can see, isn't really working.
I walked up to them and gave him a kiss on the cheek when I noticed the blisters on his cheek.
"Where the heck did those come from?" I asked, stroking his cheek gently.
My sister just shrugged. "From the sun. The heat can do that sometimes."
I waited for her to finish on the net then and then when she did, I went straight to go online on my most top sites.
After that, I also made my two graphic contests entries. One for TG, and one from MF. I eventually finished both and made my own connections to other sites. Plurk, Twitter and later on Friendster.
Finally, I'm alone downstairs. The others are upstairs and my other bro went on his night job. I hope he buys Shadow Kiss, the third book to Vampire Academy. Oh c'mon. You gotta love a different vamp story from Twilight.
I will go to bed in a few hours after I post on SW, MF, and TG for the fun of it.
Our recollection is still on for Friday morning.
By the way, the most annoying thing happened today.
It was before Ms. Benoza left for her meeting. She talked to us first with her curling pins still attached to her hair.
And then she told us about the complaining parents on the Graduation Fee. And then Ms. Benoza--- well, you know her--- got all mad saying she hasn't encountered a section like ours.
And then she continued in an annoyed voice that Mrs. Alejandrino---my seatmates mother--- was one of the parents who complained.
And then I thought, JUST BECAUSE OF HIM AND SOME OTHER EFFIN' PARENTS WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE OUR GRADUATION. INSTEAD WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A STUPID CEREMONY IN SIDE, F***** INSIDE!
But I then controlled myself. Because I know my emotions a little too well. One wrong move and then BAM! Guidance Counselor for me.
Hey... it's my feelings. It's not my fault I'm not born with so much self control or independence.
Anyway, ILY!

The Best Damn Luck
Tomorrow, we have school again. Yeah, I know. Another day of shouting and noise. Of course I have to learn, even if it means doing nothing.
OK, so I typed some of my sister's assignment on my own when suddenly, a heard a car and then my parents were home.
And my dad saw me typing without looking at the keyboard. Hey, I can't help it if I can do that. Years worth of addiction, baby.
Anyway, while I am typing here, I am also watching That's So Raven which is almost done that's why I am going to bed now. But doii, I'm still not tired. I don't even want to know why.
After everything this day, I didn't much had my lazy day. I ended up doing this contest entry in MF. I was supposed to do the graphic contest in TG but my partner is nowhere online.
Sunday's aren't my best weekday because of how it's almost Monday. Aww. I hate Sundays. I'd rather have Fridays and Saturdays only. So my sister is also making me log out off the web because she needs to use it. Hey, gotta wait your turn.
ILY.

The Best Do Nothing Day Ever
So, I didn't attend our band practice this day. What a surprise. HEY. It's my lazy mode. So, anyway I regretted it instantly when it was general cleaning today. I had to set everything up. It's my darn mother's fault for buying
TOO MUCH CRAP. Yeah, it's true. Vases, colored curtains..... it's hard having a mother that
thinks she's still a teenager.
Sir Rowel. Ohh. I am so dead to him because I didn't attend today's band practice. What's the point anyway? We're just gonna rehearse songs to play for the
Sixth Grade Foundation Day. Especially if I'm going to wear our costumes again. It's green with these puffy sleeves. Yeah, the one on my last post here.
Ma'am Benoza. Now
she is something to be really scared about. She's gonna scream at us again like we're animals that got out of the zoo.
Kaye made me do it. Well, I made her too so it's both of our faults, okay? GOD. It's even Monday tomorrow. Now that's a problem.
So, I saw a dude with this longg white 'stache. I was like, "
Dad... Look at this! He's even worse than you on lazy modes!" And for that my dad laughed. Good times, good times.
Again, I'm in the
lazy mode. I'm just posting in my
twitter account like nothing is wrong with my life.
Anyway, I still haven't finished doing this task in
MileyFans and
TotalGirl. Again with my lazy mode.
Where was I? Oh yeah. I made friends with this girl in
MF. I told her we should bury the stinkin' past and start a new friendship. She said she'll think about it. No reaction coming from me. Besides, the only reason I did that is because our
life learned lesson on Friday was
pick your friends and whatever crap. I do pick my friends. The others just think I like them. Kidding! I was only kidding!
There was also this book I read titled
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. It's like, radically different from Twilight. I even learned some new things;
Russian dudes are considered hot. LOL. What?
Dimitri Belikov or should I say
Guardian Belikov, is, in Rose Hathaway's point of view, hot. People are so influencing me now. My blunt answers give in the best of me.
He is such a
jackass. I don't even know who he is and he keeps saying
hi, hi, hi. It's effin' annoying! I just keep replying,
who the fuck are you?, who the hell are you?, do I even know you? That sort of thing to get people off my back even if I am twelve years old. I was like, checking my
yahoo account when BAM, there he is again. God. I hate boys. The many reasons I despised everything about them. Except for my relatives.

NAT Exams and Such
So we had our NAT exams on Thursday. Want to know WHY it's easy? We we're passing notes! HAHA. In the history of cheating, this has got to be the funniest. Kaye was like, "What's the answer to number 25 in Math?" I was like, "Just divide it to it's volume!" And she hissed, "The answer you dimwit. The ANSWER!"
It was really dog gonnit funny. But we didn't really cheat. I don't even hell know why we need to take these tests. Our adviser told us it was because of our general average, blahblah. Hey. I'm a kid! Free to say what I feel to say!
Anyway, so after that, we hang out in Shakey's. It was soo loud so I wrote in a piece of paper on their commentary box or whatever, LOV3 THE FOOD. NEXT TIME, CONTROL YOUR YOUNG CUSTOMERS. THANK YOU!
Free world?
So the next day, it was our DAT Exams. Division Achievement Tests after our National Achievement Tests. If you ask me, it's more likely as
Destruction of
Attentive
Track of mind. Kidding. But really, what's the point when you know some people are gonna fail it anyway? What?! It's still called true.
Funny when this one ended. I went straight to our computer and listed down the five most stupidest things about life. Haha. Crazy much?
Anyway, my baby nephew, Aiden was also there when I got home. He was crying. Oh great baby.
"Wow mom, the baby's gonna cry even louder if you did that," I complained when I saw her talking to the baby and making crazy noises. Sheesh. Isn't it embarrassing enough?
ILY.

Teen Drama
So, we won our first ever band competition. Yey for us. But that was last year. Anyway, we are gonna have our recollection next Friday. It's gonna be OK I guess. If SOME people can can the crying and dramatic gestures. Dramatic is
my thing. While I did this, I am listening to Homecoming by Hey Monday. Hey. That's how I roll. So, please do remind me to post nowadays here. The only reason I even returned here is because Kai, weirdo Kai, wanted the link. Haha. If I have anymore stories to tell you, I would have typed more. I even had a fight with another group from school. Over a hose. A stupid effin' hose. C'mon. Then they should have complained to DepEd about the sad pay for a hose.
Morons, I thought. I even said some pretty harsh things. Mess with me, well... you messed with the wrong person. LOL. SO on February 21, 2009 another child from heaven was born. His name is Aiden Genesis Flores. Nice. Where'd you get that one,bro? The internet? Haha. Anyway, he is just so adorable. Always crying though. And on February too, I had a photoshoot with TG. I have so much to type, but really... I still have forever and always. I just love that song. And pressure. Next time for me, I need a calendar to tell me to freakin' type something here. ILY!
