Keep In View

My work sucks; everybody is well aware of that. Even the martians got the live feed on it.

As time consuming as my life is, at the moment, I still have this blog in mind.

With that, I am putting down a list of Keep-in-Views of events that had surrounded my life which had managed to happen while I am on my hectic routine.

Detailed entries will be created, I promise, and I can only hope that time would grant me the deliverence I need from these desperate times.

Drawing on Nokia 5800 Music Xpress

I used to sketch, a lot. Some of them turned out to be great, and some did not.

I installed MobilePaint for Symbian S60 not long ago, and it's just a great 'upgrade' of my paper sketching. I would just to take my phone out, and with the stylus that comes with phone, sketch my ass off.

Here are some of my drawings.

From 2009 04 17 2300 - My Drawings

My first drawing

From 2009 04 17 2300 - My Drawings

My fourth - an attempt to play with perspective and space

From 2009 04 17 2300 - My Drawings

My fifth - an attempt to draw the human body


Well, perhaps they are not exactly masterpieces, they are my work of art, and I simply love them for the fact that they were drawn on my little handy phone. Hehehe.

My Scanned Pictures - Part II

A friend of mine posted a bunch of great pictures from our schooling days in Facebook a few days back. It's just wonderful to walk back the memory lane.

I have had these pictures for a while now, and it's about time for me to post them up.

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

Yeah, I know I said I am not getting a 'toy' with a single point of failure. That's why I bought the PSP and Olympus FE-360, but I still need a new phone, badly! I was running out of space in my phone book and I had to keep the 'anonymous' numbers in my text messages, and they are growing by the day.

And yeah, I know I said I was eyeing for Sony Ericsson T650i, but the Nokia 5800 is just awesome! The touchscreen alone is a godsent!

At first, I am worried about the phone being too big, but it's only 0.5% bigger in volume and 10.1% heavier in mass, compared to my existing Sony Ericsson k750i.
