We are now moving to our new home.
I was asleep last night then somebody told me that I am one of the finalist of the upcoming Animahenasyon 2009 and you know me sometimes I’m not just believe it because some of my friends somehow jokes me but actually they didn’t.
I look though my email to check if I am one of the finalist and here is the email I’ve received.

I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy about this news. I hope I will win this competition if not, it’s ok. At least I’m part of the entry :)
One day when I was a freshman in high school, I saw the new kid in my class walking home from school His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.” I had quite a weekend planned with parties and a football game with my friends. So I shrugged my shoulders and walked on.
Just then a bunch of kids ran toward him, knocking the books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. As he looked up, I saw a terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. I jogged over to him, picked up the glasses and handed them to him.
“Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives,” I commented.
He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me. As we walked home, I discovered he was a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he would like to play football with me and my friends on Saturday. He said, “Yes.” We hung out together all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. My friends liked him too.
On Monday morning, I saw Kyle carrying his huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, “Dang, boy you are gonna really build some serious muscle carrying this pile of books everyday!” He laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. By our senior year, Kyle had filled out and looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. All the girls loved him, and he always had lots of dates. He had studied hard and was valedictorian of our class.
On graduation day, he was to give a speech. I could see that he was nervous. So I smacked him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me with one of those really grateful looks and smiled, ‘Thanks.”
He started his speech, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years: your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach, but mostly your friends. I am here to tell you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give.”
Then he began to tell the story of the first day we met. I stared at him in disbelief when he told how he had planned to kill himself that weekend. He had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later. I heard a gasp go through the crowd as this handsome and popular boy told about his weakest moment.
He looked hard at me, gave me a little smile, and said, “Thankfully, my friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.”
His mom and dad looked at me with a grateful nod. Not until that moment did I realize that in one small gesture I changed a person’s life. Now I never underestimate the power of my actions. I learned that the support of a caring friend can impact someone in ways we may not fully understand and appreciate.
-------------------------
I almost cry because is a wonderful story :)
Wanting,
lusting,
to be held,
to be loved,
to feel warmth,
to feel your beating heart.
Wanting to be sheltered from the cold,
heartless winds.
Falling into invisible arms;
into an abyss of love.
Wishing,
hoping,
that my desires will be filled;
my desires of loving warmth.
Wanting to be held,
comforted,
loved.
Dreaming of passionate embraces,
of tender kisses,
loving words,
romantic nights.
Waiting for undying love.
- Just like me and her… I was waiting yet it didn’t came :(
This is my 2nd Demo Reel. I made my 1st Demo Reel last year for the entry of ANIMAHENASYON 2008 and also for my portfolio.
Well, a demo reel or show reel, is the motion picture or video equivalent of an artist's portfolio. It is typically used as a tool to promote the artist's skill, talent, and experience in a selected field, such as acting, directing, cinematography, editing, special effects, animation, or video games and other graphics. The demo reel is frequently submitted with a résumé to a prospective employer. When a reel contains scenes from actual productions, a shot list or credit list may also be submitted to describe the artist's specific involvement in each portion of the reel. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel#Demo_reels).
This year, I made a couple of videos and digital arts that I want to collect and enter for the next ANIMAHENASYON 2009. This video showcases my motion graphics highlights, My Digital Arts with some of my T-Shirt design I made and also Special Effects featuring Animation of Fireball (2 years ago), Revenge (last year) and Mistake Fireball (last month). I want to thank my schoolmate for helping out of doing the Animation of Fireball video
The software I've used are Adobe After Effects versions 7, CS3 and CS4 and Adobe Photoshop versions CS2, CS3 and CS4.
The ANIMAHENASYON 2009 will be held on November 25-28, 2009 at Gateway Mall Araneta Center. I hope I'll win this competition!
Here is my Demo Reel. Enjoy and comment! :)
