Room Photos

If you thought your room was messy... (those photos could easily be Easter Egg hunts)

Christmas Gift

In my last year of college, I had been spending time with the Comic Quest gang, the membership of which changes over time. I was fortunate to be invited to their annual Christmas party, and one of the gifts was a sketch from Andrew Drilon, who had just gotten his work published in the Comic Collective's (a non-accredited organization in Ateneo) comic anthology.

Of course I still wasn't employed back then, and I didn't know I would be working with Pulp in the future. Prophetic? (It's faint but the shirt says "Slipknot".) Ask Andrew. He's the tarot card reader.

Torn Letter

I've mentioned that my life's like a soap opera, right? Back in first year college, I had a crush on this girl (and she still is) but unfortunately, when she found out my feelings (not that I admitted it to her, of course), she started avoiding me. So I wrote her an apology letter (I don't think you can apologize for having feelings for someone, but anyway...) and asked one of her blockmates to hand it to her. Unfortunately, it was torn to pieces.

Me being the stalker that I was, a friend had class in the same room as she was in, albeit one timeslot later. I asked him if he found several strips of paper scattered on the floor, and if he could pick them up. So here it is, a reconstruction of my memories way back in 2000.

A Trail of Books

The photo was taken in the morning, but the middle of the room isn't well-lit, so the picture isn't as crisp.

Anyway, my room is a mess as the bookshelf's already full twice over. I have piles and piles of books on the floor, as can be seen.

Why I Dislike Phone Cameras

My dad, as a birthday gift, gave me one of those Nokia 3G phones that has a 2.0 megapixel camera. Not to sound ungrateful, but a new phone isn't exactly on top of my priority list. As much as I love 3G technology, we're not "there" yet, and I don't really have a 3G account. As for the 2.0 megapixel camera, well, I'd love to have a digital camera, just not a 2.0 one. He could have spent the money buying me a digital camera instead of a phone.

But on the brighter side of things, it's the first time dad's taken an initiative in buying me something. Usually he just gives me money. Of course dad takes care of the phone more than I do.

Backt to the topic at hand, a 2.0 megapixel is okay... as long as you have better-than-average lighting. The first photo is a picture of my room... at night. The lights are on, but to be fair, my wallpaper's black, and only one of two flourescent lights (because the other one's broken) are on. The second picture is the same setup except it's early in the morning, around 9 am.

Yes, the room's messy.
