OK, Im really very sick!! Well, more like burnt out!!! Stayin home or I'd faint at work!!! I caught the flu from all the kids this weekend me thinks!!! Kissin them while they sport out their drools and snuts!!! They were just so irresistable and now Im suffering!!! My body and throat hurt like hell!!! I think Im settin up an appointment with doc tomorrow!!! I have a lot to do at work but I think I would rather stay home than feel worse from lack of rest!!! I miss stayin home!!! the movie 'Love Acutally' is playin right now. Its one of my fave movies!!
Since I cant get out of bed I should probably write!!! LOL!!! I just ordered a few art books for references. I realized its way cheaper to order from amazon than get it at the stores here. If you buy enough books you get shippin free anyways so why not use it?? LOL!!! I also got a $10 gift from Amazon coz UPS screwed up my order. I think I really like about Amazon is they make up for their screw ups which is fine with me. Well, as long as I didnt desperately needed the item its fine with me. 4 years ago, they didnt ship out my christmas orders!!! I would have been majorly pissed off but I ended up not needin the items by Christmas anyways. That was the first year they took online orders for Toy R Us!!! THey sent everyone who didnt get their packages $250 credit!!! THat was awesome for me but it was bad for those who had kids without presents for christmas!!! I cant even remember what I bought with that credit!!! LOL!!! Anyways, the only things I order online are the ones I really dont need right away!!! Take note of that!!! The books I ordered are the ones I saw at Books A Million. Since they hardly have sales there I thought to take down the book titles and made sure they were cheaper at AMazon before I ordered them. They were, to there ya goooooo!!! Plus, I got to use my $10 credit!!! I was meanin to hit the Half Price book store here but no time here!! I think I have all the references I need so its really time for me to get crackin with my comic book!!! UUUHHHGGGG!!!
Im paintin a fantasy one right now. This would be the first of the series for the project Im workin on!!! Its comin out pretty cool!!! I will finish it this weekend if I dont get dragged out of the house again!!! LOL!!! Anyways, I still need to sort things out before I release it anyways.
I will also make an announcement soon for one of the projects Im involved in. I just need to sort it out and make sure I could release the info!!! OK, thats it for now!!! HUGGGSSSS!!! Maida ;) |

EEEKKKKK!!! Did the week just flew by or did I sleep thru the whole theng!!! OMG!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! This happens when I get busy at work!!! My head is about to explode, nothing seems to get done and, oh yah, I lose more brain cells. Not a lot left but hey!!!
Anyways, I need to apologize to everyone who I didn't get to personally wish HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! BELATED GREETINGS EVERYONE!!! I feel bad not returnin calls and not showin up to functions I made commitments to. I completely forgot about the Holiday celebration party of the charity organization I volunteered in. BAD ME BAD ME!!! I wish I could give you a website link so you could find out more about the organization but they dont currently have one. It also provides shelter and help to women who were abused.
I also forgot to send presents to a few people. Well, I really didn't forget. I just didnt have time to shop around. LOL!!! I tried to send out what ever I could send. Damn post office line!!! I'm send a BIG SHOUT OUT to the post office workers at my neighborhood!!! LOL!!! They know me there and would always give me the VIP treatment!!! LOL!!! Yah, I get spoiled a lot!! One said, he'll have the PO open till 6PM just for me. Too bad I already saw the office hours!!! LOL!!! I keep forgetin they extended their hours to 6PM!!! See, missin brain cells is such a pain!!!
I finally joined my wonderful friend, Sly Bowden's group!!! I've been meanin to join but kept forgettin. To show my support for the boy I joined!!! His the bestest!!! Very nice and sweet man!!! I hope I could find the time to do catch ups with him!!! New project here and we will most definitely want the man to be in it, right?!! I wish him the best of all his ventures!!!
OK, I added a few more chapters to my novel!!! Not a lot since I kept getting distracted. Wish I could ignore things but thats my nature I guess. I watched history channel all holiday!!! WOOOHOOOO!!! A lot of info my poor little o brain could handle!!! Luckily, I have a laptop!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!! I also watch a few movies!!! Saw King Fu Hustle (hilarious and totally brought back them Samurai Sunday days), National Treasures (I really liked it coz it had some history and archeology in it), and War of the World (did not like it, sorry Tom but Katie destroyed ya your appeal).
OK, gots to get to work!!! I need to get this project done so I could have a freee trip to Vegas!!!! LOL!!! HUGS!!! Maida ;) |

Wishing everyone the best of the holidays!!!! :) |

I've been thinkin about what my bonita Lisa said about New Years resolutions!! Yesterday, as I was bored and waiting for stuff to happen at work, I decided to work on my novel. I think I spent a good hour typin and gettin some good stuff down. I had a mental block with historical words to use but other than that I was zoomin thru the dang pages!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!! So, I thought about writin at least 1 hour a day!!! Writin is different than paintin since you could stop and go without the hassle of cleanin up and wasting paint or cleanin solvents. I know, I know!!! I really need to get started with the project. Well, right now we are in the 'get permission' stage. Im a bit hesitant to ask some of the models. Im not good with rejections. I mean Im not goin to get mad or anythin but embarrass is more like it. I just dont want them avoidin me coz they said NO. So far so good and truly am grateful that they trust me enough to be a part of the project. THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL!!! You know who you are!!! Credits will follow when announcements and promotions are made.
Anyways, yesterday I started to shop for an elliptical!!! Hard hard decision coz they are expensive. So far Im leanin towrds Precor. Thank goodnes they have a sale and they can do delivery before christmas!!! The other one is Life Fitness which is also good and smoother than Precor but it doesnt feel sturdy enough. Warranties are not as good as Precor. Im getting the Precor 5.17 model. Heart rate monitor is optional for $149. Then ya add tax (Chicago is has the highest tax) and delivery/setup cost. AAAAhhhhh...choices...dont know!!! After this could I afford to go to Daytona?? HHHhhhmmmmm...
OK, we will have heavy snow here and Im dressed to plow thru the nasty weather!!! I like snow only when I dont have to drive thru it!!!! A lot of stupid drivers out there. They think coz they have an SUV they could drive like idiots!!! It took me 2 hours the last time it snowed heavy here!!! Hopefully, this time they salted and cleaned the street by the time I get off work!!! Yah, plus no stupid drivers!!!
OK, time to work and cry again!!! LOL!!! |
| » I FEEL LIKE CRYING |
|---|
This past months I've been in this cold, dark, blank, and black hole. I haven't spoken to anyone except for one friend. We make decisions in life, hard decisions, that transforms us in a way. I don't know if I made the right decisions and I dont know if I want to deal with it. Heck, I just dont know myself anymore. Its true when they say "When it rains, it pours." All the tragedy around me is killing me inside. I feel so useless and its depressing me. I love all my friends but I really need to remove myself from everything around me. I'll go crazy if I dont. Well, its easy enough at the moment coz it seems like none of my emails are workin properly. Im so upset with my emails not workin that I dont even want to read or open them up. Someone just sent me photos and I never recieved any of them. He said he emailed it to all my email addr!!!! What the faaahhhh!!! I reply to people's emails only to get a return invalid addrr!!! Then I get so upset and not bother with it anymore!!! I really should be happy in a way. I will get my Telli award soon, I just got a copy of a magazine I'm in called Lasting Moments, there was an article in the local Wisconsin mag about my artwork, and the book where my artwork was featured is out and were sold in dragon con. Yet, inspite all that something is still missing. I know what it is and I dont know what to do.
I cant sleep and I dont want to!!! I like it when Im alone and its quiet. I get to talk to myself and pretend I have a wonderful life. LOL!!! Yah, Im crazy but I really feel like crying. I am crying... I was suppose to go to Kentucky this weekend but I have family obligations. I need to drive my mom's sister-in-law's sister-in-law to Wisconsin. She's sick and needs my uncle to look after her. Then I have a funeral to go to in New Orleans. How tragic is life to those who are directly affected by it? Its hard to know less its you. I hate tellin them "I know how you feel" when I really dont. I know the pain and sadness. I dont think anything could be worse than my father's passing but its always different for everyone. Is it??
I've been writin this novel I dreamt about. I woke up at ~4am to type it all down. Its an amazin story and I hope I do well with this one. I want to finish the other one I started but Im stuck with that one. For some reason the inspiration for that isnt comin to me. I just finished painting two more pieces. They are a series called ELEMENTUM. So far Im finished with water and air. Im not so sure about water. I dont like how the colors turned out on that one. I will have to redo it. Anyways, I'm getting tired. Hopefully, I can fall asleep now. HUGS!!! ;)

| » I'M ON CRUNCH TIME TO ENTER A CONTEST!!! |
|---|
OK!! I was sent a notice to enter a contest for Enchanted Artist!!! The problem is the deadline is this Sunday!!! The theme of the contest is Atlantis!! Since the site is all about fantasy art I can make it to what ever my heart desires!!! As you know Im a total history buff nerd here and so this will be perfect for me to enter and try to win!! The people in Enchanted Artist are so so so kind, informative, helpful and generous with their knowledge!!! I dont feel like there is any competition there!!! We all try to be unique with our artwork and hopefully not step on anyone's toes or ideas!!!I have a big plan for this one but I only have 4 days to work on it!!! Well, I started to work on it yesterday!!! I have a few issues with this though. One, I still had to buy a good watercolor paint set!!! The ladies from the forum informed me that the paint Im using are all student grade and that it would make my paintings look way better if I used a professional paint!!! OMG!!! I didnt know to check for that!! My paint sets are not cheap by all means but then again I found out that I was shoppin at the wrong art supply store!!! OMG!!! I felt like I wasted my time on my previous paintings yesterday but alas I always make the best out of a bad experience!!! I had to rectify this situation!!! Guess what I did yesterday?? LOL!!! YUP!!! I left work early and went to the art store I was supposed to go to this past weekend and went comando in that store!!! OMG!!! It was heaven!!! I didnt want to leave that store!!! Everyone there knew where everythin was and new what items are the best in their shelves!!! If they dont know they go by the items that their costumers ask or demand for and run out of stock all the time!!! It was AWESOME!!! This guy helped me look for everything I needed on my list that the people/artist at Enchanted Artist gave me!!! He was so so so nice!!! His an art major and also commented about the store I used to go to that was near my house!!! We both had the same experience goin to that store!!! The people who worked there didnt know anythin of what they were sellin!!! They didnt even know what a blue pencil was when I asked them!!! He was so helpful and even gave me 40% discount coupon to use for one regular priced item!!! You get it if you are in their mailin list but since I bought a lot he said he'll give it to me!! LOL!!! I asked him for another coupon and grab another set of my Yarka paint!!! LOL!!! I didnt think I get anymore discount with that paint since it was already on sale but he gave it to me anyways!!! HEHEHEHE!! I'll be goin back to that store!!! LOL!!! I went there the perfect time I think!!! They were sellin this one big wooden easel that cost regularly $300 for only $70!!! OMG!!! How can I pass that up??!!! I grabbed one of that easel, a bunch of Sakura pens, more Winsor & Newton brushes, generic brushes, 2 sets of Yarka pan sets, illustrations boards, canvas boards, shaping tool, .03mm pencil, blue pencils, and liquid frisket. The only disappointin thing is that they didnt have the right size of illustration board I wanted by Strathmore!!! They ran out of the medium size I am used to workin on!!! The guy said he can cut it for me but I said no!!! Now I regret it and should of had him cut me a big one and make them the sizes I wanted!!! I ended up gettin two small ones!!! I think they are only 15X22 which is small for the idea I have for Atlantis!!! Hey, Im plannin to paint a whole city!!! Oh well, I just have to make somethin out of it which I did!!! As soon as I got home I started to think of an idea for Atlantis!!! I started sketchin it and kept on addin new things to the sketch. Last night I couldnt sleep as I thought of somethin to add to it!!! I hate love and hate that feelin!!! I dont think it would matter so much to me if I didnt have to work today but I do!!! So either I close my eyes and try to go to sleep or sketch the darn thing so I could finally sleep!!! Im a retard I know!!! Anyways, I came up with a great idea!!! I hope it good enough and it looks good when I finish paintin it!!! I know Im such an addict to things!!! I cant wait to use my new paint set!!! I have to experiment first on somethin else like the next piece Im supposed to be workin on and hope I get used to soon so I have enough time to finish my Atlantis piece this Sunday!!! Wish me luck!!!

| » VERY PROUD OF MY TITO JR!!!! STAR NAMED AFTER ME!!! |
|---|
My uncle's students are throwing a concert and gala to celebrate my uncle's 40 years of piano instruction at the Music Institute of Chicago. His the oldest out of my mother's 8 siblings. I grew up admiring him for his dedication and many talents. Its funny coz I see my uncle as the joking-never-mad-easy-going kinda guy!!! One that rubs his entire face to wake himself up from the hours of work he takes on. One big del Rosario trait I think. Almost all of us do the same hand face getures. LOL!! The Reyes side, which is my father's side, of the family doesn't seem to have any prominent gestures. I remember the last time he had a concert and I was standing right next to him holding all the flowers and gifts people gave him. Those mothers where giving me this who-the-hell-is-this-b look!!! Like I was my uncle's mistress!!! PWEASE!!! HELLO!!! Im like his daughter!!! EEEWWWWWW!!! If they only knew him!!! LOL!!! My cousins and I were all pretty much ignorin all them jealous mamas who thenk we were my uncles harpies!!! LOL!!! Too funny!!! Its really true how some woman would kill for a man!!! Everytime my uncle goes to the Philippines he would always have a young person go up to him claimin their his or his brother's kids!!! He said the last one he believed but the rest were all fake!!! He was so sure of the last one since he said the boy looked exactly like his late brother that it was undeniable!!! Plus the kid didnt asked for money but rather to ask permission to use his father's last name. My uncle gave him half of the money he made from the concert he had in the Philippines that same night he met his nephew which is also my lost cousin. My uncle is very generous and I thank God that money never got into his head. He was always charitable but very careful on who to give money to. He would always help his family especially his siblings.
Here is a quick synopsis of what his students wrote in his invitation.
Emilio del Rosario is one of the world's most respected piano teachers. For the past forty years, the charismatic pianist has been inspiring Music Institute students to achieve and compete on a level without compare. These young students come from around the country, and as far away as Japan, Russia, and Australia. Indeed, one student traveled from Tokyo every month for lessons. They have won numerous competitions and honors throughout the United States and the world, with a number of them pursuing virtuoso careers. As a gifted pianist, Emilio has toured the world, appearing in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Cultural Center of the Philippines Symphony. He has received many prizes and awards for his stirring performances. A firm taskmaster, he cares for his students as if they were his own children, and they affectionately call him "Mr. D."
MIC is privileged to join with them on January 2nd as they honor their cherished teacher.
Join in celebration of Emilio del Rosario
40 years of inspiring piano instruction at the Music Institute of Chicago
Gifted current and former students perform glorious music for the beloved teacher

Nan Deporto passed away...
I'm not sure if she is the same woman who was really sweet to me when I was at the RT convention in KC. She always had a sweet smile on her face. I remembered her huggin me there for a long time. I asked myself what she saw in me that she was huggin me and we didnt really know wach other. I was never introduced to her but it felt like we knew each other because we just end up talkin. I remembered her name because the whole time I thought she was one of the authors whos name was Nan Ryan. I never asked who she was and just thought the woman was really nice and sweet. My prayers are with her and her family and may God give her eternal peace and happiness...

I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Ranger Fighter
Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
Deity:
Solonor Thelandria is the Chaotic Good elven god of archery and the hunt. He is also known as the Keen Eye, the Great Archer, and the Forest Hunter. His followers respect nature, and only hunt when needed, but are quick to defend the forest from intruders. Their favorite weapon is the bow, and they tend to be extremely talented with it. Solonor Thelandria's symbol is an arrow with green fletchings.

| » I'M SLEEPY... |
|---|
My plane landed from San Fran around 5:30am. My aunts asked if I wanted to go to Las Vegas with em but I had to pass on that one. I love Las Vegas but I dont like to gamble which is what they were plannin on doin. I got home around 7:30am. YUP!! The airport for ATA is an hour away from my house then ya have that rush hour traffic to deal with!!! I could never sleep in the plane so I was falling asleep drivin home. I had to slap meself a couple of times to wake meself up!!! I fell asleep once and that didnt bold well for me. Im so glad I didnt run over anyone. I would never forgive meself if I did. I was lucky I just got a broken nose from it!!! After that accident I pass out when Im sleepy right away. My eyes shut down itself so its dangerous for me to be behind the wheel when Im sleepy. I called in sick and slept all day yesterday!!!
I played with my dogs as soon as I got home!!! I miss em so much!!! I scanned through my emails. Some guy named Michael emailed me said he saw my actor's resume and was very intrigue with my head shots!!! But then it all went to crap when he said the film he needed actors for has nudity in it. He said to send him a full body pic of me and he'll fly me for an interview if Im interested!!! What the ffffuuuhhhh....!!!! Do I look like a penny hooker in my resume??!!! Dang it!!! I will email him back and reject the offer of course!!! Sorry but me dont do that "Love you long time" crap!!! Me no "Two dolla" woman!!! Not that I wsa thinkin of acceptin the part but I was thinkin of when would I be ok if someone asked me to be naked in a film?? I might consider it if its for a major major motion picture. Where nudity could be considered as an art. MIGHT is the key word here. Im still not sure. At the actor's center where I take classes, one instructor told me that he did a monologue play and stripped down naked on stage!!! He said he was actually feelin the part he was playin and its just happens!!! Your emotions comes out and you just do it because you are playin someone else but was puttin yourself in that position!!! I know Im not makin sense here but I did get what he was tellin me.
I wont give up in my acting is all I know. I would only take the parts I would feel comfortable doin. If I ready for a kissin scene or a bed scene then I will do it but for now I am not ready...
Cherif wanted me to show up for our game this comin weekend!!! He wants as many people to play since we will be playin against another team!!! I will be finished with my Everquest tomorrow so I will be able to finally play again!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!! I cant wait to kick someone's arse!!! LOL!!!
I finally got a hold of someone at Lowes but I had to call their headquarters!!! GGGRRRRRRRRR!!! Anyways, I got the info for Ike so he will make sure things gets to where theyre supposed to!!! ME LUBS the guy!!! His a total sweetheart!!! Too perfect!!! His a verra rare gem for sure!!! OK!!! Me not sleepy anymore!!! LOL!!!

| » I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO... |
|---|
No silly... I didnt fall in love with someone when I was in San Francisco this weekend but I did fell in love with the city itself!!! I love the landscapes, diversity, and that 'at home' feelin when I go there. Its hard to leave my cousins there who I so love very dearly!!! I use to stay at downtown San Fran when I visit them all the time but this time I stayed at South San Francisco and Pacifica!!! I loved it there as well!!! South San Fran was warmer and is sunny just like how I picture California would be. Pacifica is just simply beautiful!!! One of my cousin just moved there. His place was like being at a resort!!! They have a swimming pool and a workout facility in the courtyard!!! How awesome is that??!!! I would love to move in there!!! The only thing was that it was always chili there since its situated right by the pacific ocean and ya know I hate it when its cold!!! My other cousin took me out to Clement to buy somethin I didnt know what!!! LOL!!! I bought Sly the microwave rice cooker Ive promised him for so long and tons of foods for my cousins!!!! My one cousin will cry again if I dont buy her food and tell me Im starvin her arse again!!! LOL!!! I love her too death and I have to say I do spoil her a lot!!! I still cant believe she's got 2 kids already!!! She had her first when she was 15 and had her second one just recently last year!!! I know she's really young but the only difference with her is that she is a great mom who is madly in love with her kid's father who I for one like a lot!!! Its so nice to see that love between them. They are young but you can tell how much they love each other!!! They both respect and look up to each other which is such a great thing to see between two very young people!!! Im verra proud of them both!! They live on their own without help. Well, maybe a little from both sides of their family!!! The guys family is well of and helps them out when they need it. The only things I didnt like aboot their situation is when my cousin could not go any further in school but high school!!! She did tell me she will be goin back and so is her hubby!!! I was happy they made that decision!!! Her hubby is a smart kid and wanted to go for electrical engineer by goin to a trade school!!! Im so glad he is thinkin of their future!!!
I arrived very late in San Fran Friday but I stayed up to play with my god daughter and chatted with her mommy!!! She told me somethin so funny. You see, her and my cousin have been bf and gf since they were in grade school back in the Philippines!!! He would always return for a month vacation to the Philippines every year so he could visit her!!! When I went to San Fran the first time was to be a godparent!! My cousin took a pic of me, him, his brother and one other girl cousin of ours!!! Being a guy, he sent that pic to his girlfriend back in the Philippines without any note of who were in the pic!!! So obviously he gave his girlfriend a heart attack with the pic!!! She said she couldnt sleep and was panickin until he finally called her. He then explained to her those two girls in the pic was his cousins. She said she felt silly aboot it but I told her I can understand why she would think that way. I would actually think worse like think the bastard was breakin up with me and thats his way to tell me!! Send me a pic of his new girlfriend and how much fun they were havin!!! LOL!!! I would have kicked his ass of course!!! LOL!!! So she said after that she liked me since I cant be his potential girlfriend. Too funny!!! Then I told her then now she needs to kiss me bootey since I am blood!!! LOL!!! Shes so sweet and nice!!! I like her a lot!!! Their baby is so beautiful!!! I think I gave her a hickey with all the kissin I gave her!!! Shes so good and doesnt cry at all!!! She loves to dance as which is even more cuter!!! I miss them all already!!!

Radios are fine,
they helps me forget for a while.
I look back and recall,
All those days I had with you.
Sometimes a need a friend,
Just to make it through.
Another day spent without you.
Friends are great,
they cheer me up sometime.
But when the day is gone.
My mind is back again with you.
Oh god I need a friend,
Just to make it through.
Another day spent without you.
You...
You gave me all the reasons to live.
But then you had to go,
and I just want to let you know.
Its hard to love again,
just to make it through.
Another day spent without you.
And I dont want to go on pretending,
that its goin to be a happy ending.
If I should love again.
Once I've learned to love again...
And no...
It'll never be the same
without you baby.
This pain is driving me crazy,
cause its hard to love again.

I wanted to go with em but its too expensive!!! Plus its 3 weeks!! I have no vacation days for it!!! She was the commissioner of Atlanta for 5 years!!! She was the one who went through the headaches when the Olympics was held there!!! People loved her coz she can relate and sympathize with em. After Clinton left the office her party had to go as well!!! Sad really. She's so smart!!! She was the head of the nuclear facility in Michigan before that. Shes the one who explained organic chemistry to me!! Shes a bio/nuclear engineer and an awesome aunti!!! Shes the type that would hug me all day till I strink into a prune!!! She chases her kids and kisses their armpits!!! I know, YUK!!! LOL!!! The last time I saw her was when her daughter got married and I was one of the bridesmaids!!! That was way fun!!! She got married in Vegas!!! That was actually a beautiful weddin!!! She got married at the Venetian Hotel and it was classy. I was expectin Elvis to pop out somewhere but no!!! DRATTTSSS!!!

I dont like the guy she's crazy aboot!!! Not that his a bad person but I think he is just playin the field at this point. I want her to move on and concentrate on her artwork!!! Shes so talented and beautiful!!! She's wastin it all on a guy who doesnt seem to care for shit!!! I hate that!!! The guy has an ego the size of mother earth and I want to just smack it out of its axis!!! I hate games and I hate it when she falls for it!!! She's old enough to realize that but again Love is blind!!!
