An Epic win for epic pick up line battle

Last December 19 many of my classmate decided to play game with a T-shirt as a price,the game was called epic pick-up line battle. It was during our Christmas party that we played this game. The mechanics of this game is simple, throw an epic pick-up line and boom your are the winner,the bystanders were the judge,they will judge base on how awesome your pick-up line is. Also the game will be two to three rounds depending how close the competition is.Some of my classmate were bystander who will judge the game. The contestants were: yours truly,Mark,Josep,Wilfred,Sapio,Chris Wayne and Rodel. They had their own cool nicknames,mine was boy bangus(milk fish) although I lost badly to Mark which is boy Tangkad. I was still amused. In the final battle Mark wins by unanimous decision .


In the end, I really admire my classmate for their time. Although they were busy with their jobs. I hope that this event will continue next year, and also hope that those people who didn't attend would have a little time and money to spend next year.

I wish bart's face is this

UQC awards night = bulabog

What happens if you put intelligent and cool people in one place? Well only one word would express my deepest thoughts about it "Bulabog"(outrageous) and that's what exactly happen exactly last Sunday night,and to be more specific it was an awarding night for a quiz competition,University Quiz Competition that is and it was held at Oakridge Pavillion. Fortunately I was one of contestant and unfortunately I only made it up to the quarter finals.

Anyways what did happen there?Well at first I was bombarded with an amazing invocation,then some few speeches by Mr. Christopher Go which spearheaded this competition.We were at my most favorite part which is dinner,food was awesome accompanied with a band with some "chill music" then came the awarding proper with a bring me game which was really fun,also some talents from the contestants showed up although there were lots of things that happened  I will keep it short to save you from boredom.

About the competition,the essence of this competition is not about limelight, not about money and not about school pride its about molding brilliant minds for the future,a future for the country a future full of hope and I'm thankful to represent my school (although we lost )and also thank ful to be part of this first ever competition. I would never regret being apart of this event, all the things I learned,from the seminars,the workshops and to all the experience I had,priceless and again this would be imprinted in my book of experience.No word could express my gratitude.

Over all the night was full of laughter,friendship and opportunity to meet and see some extraordinary people.

Artist: Marta de Andres
Art: Post Apocalyptic Fantasy


As I was strolling around the web,browsing cool matte painting and illustration, one art piece took my attention,this art piece is some what related to Taylor Swift although the female in this painting had a reddish hair and also you don't expect Taylor Swift to be in a Sci-fi scenario .This painting has some amazing details,from the menacing look of the dragon to the sweet face of the Taylor Swift look alike.Overall art is beautiful and someday I wish I could make one of this things and some guy might blog about it (hehehehe).

CHEERS FOR VISAYAS BLOGGING SUMMIT





“Nothing succeeds like success” a phrase that encompass the event last November 26, 2011. This event happened at SM Cebu Trade Hall with some surprises that blowed as away.
The event kickoff with some early bird participants, then it started with an invocation, singing of the Philippine anthem(a program is not a program without it),with a prominent people in the cyberspace, VBS raise the bar from a simple media event to a social media gathering most talk about that it is light years ahead from the rest. All this commotion made VBS a trend with so many people twitted about it, placing it third place in twitter trending list with in Philippine area and lasted for approximately two hours or more.
The thing that interested me most was the part that Globe(one of the sponsors) made cool strategy in their media campaign that became viral even their competitor’s endorser fell for it, and who could forget the ever famous Mr. Chris Ducker who showed some few cool trick on how to get started on monetizing your blog and some tips in making a presentable, friendly blog. Lastly with a surprise visit of Mrs. Regina Paz "Gina" Lopez Managing Director of ABS-CBN who talked about the campaign on “no to mining in Palawan”. This campaign aims to stop the destruction of ecosystem, save lives due to the effects of mining. Her presentation touched the heart of bloggers who attended the event, many of them including us has sign a petition against it and promise to spread the word about it in the hope of stopping the mining in Philippines.
With special visit of Miss Earth Candidates what could you ask for? I mean beautiful Candidates are there,”IMBA” speakers are there, Free lunch, free snacks. It’s like a treat with different flavors, and if you’re not there you should be sorry because you miss half of your blogging life (exaggerated)
Overall the event woke me and inspired me to follow the path of blogging. Together with my fellow mates and some new found friends, I enjoyed the event full of knowledge, idea and some gift packs (which were great by the way) and some unforgettable memory. All though there some ups and downs, it never gave me and idea to give up and all though I had some muscle aches and sore it was worth it, an experience of being a part and helping something big is fulfilling and it makes you want to think that you’re privileged enough to be there. After all “Life is about happiness and tragedy that we must live in”.

BATTLE OF THE BROWSERS






Battle of the browsers, all of us know that there are a lot of browser out there that exist  in the cyber world, but you might want to ask what is the best browser that we should really use? I mean we have lot of them like firefox, chrome, IE, safari, opera and flock(which is dead by now) and plenty more. You might wonder which one is the best, and which one suck?


Well it really depends, there are lots of surfers out there with different needs, and style and perspective,it really vary but I guess web designers and web developers use them all, here are some pros and cons of the browser I used. This is from my personal experience and little research.(So if you would add some features and things that I did not include feel free to comment below )


First one is Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_firefox) .Currently Firefox is the top rated browser most used by people in the world(source by w3schools.com) having 38.7% usage but currently it's declining due to the rise of chrome.
Pros:
Speed: fast
Cool themes
Add-ons
Supported almost all OS
Easy to use
Cons:
Themes and add-ons(since this things can slow up the speed of your browser by bandwidth Or process)
Font Color Display
Scripting Issues






Next stop and the second in our ranking in terms of usage is Google Chrome. Google Chrome is a beta browser, develop by Google(obviously). This browser is ridiculously fast and simple. Currently it’s being used by 32.3% of people in the internet and it’s rising and possibly overtaking the throne of Mozilla Firefox.
Pros:
Speed: Super-fast
Simple
Lightweight
Easy to use


Cons:
Limited add-ons.
First Beta
Missing Features




Third is Internet Explorer. This browser is been in the business for a long time but why do people don’t use it much compare to those browser above? Well I guess it is because it lacks some feature that the two browser above have. Its current usage is 21.7% and declining
Pros:
No need for download it’s already there in your machine (windows user only)
Cons:
Speed: Slow
Bad interface
No add-on
Scripting problems


 The choice really depends on what you really need and what suites your style. For me I use both chrome and Firefox but my primary browser is chrome since it's fast. I only use Firefox when I want to download something or when I'm cross-site scripting.
You might want to see this. I search a little and I stumbled upon this comic strip:






note that i don’t own this picture all created goes to the creator(http://www.neatorama.com).
If you like to tell us more about some thing in the browser feel free to comment . So this is magzz signing off be sure to check out gotmagzz.blogspot.com or cebudomain.com.

How to make angry birds in photoshop

TODAY’S TUTORIAL:

As I was surfing the net, I stumble upon an internet sensation which is the Angry Bird. I saw the picture of this cute little munchkins and I talked to myself (because I was lonely) and said ”hey why not make my own version of Angry Bird” then poof I made an Angry Bird (but I’m not sure If it is angry I mean look at it, it’s smiling sarcastically). So today we are going to make an Angry Bird or Smiling Angry Bird.
Prep:
Difficulty: Beginner
Tools: Any Photoshop version will do as long as it has brush and pen tool on it (I’m using PS CS5)
Note: this tutorial is meant for those who has a little knowledge of Photoshop and if you are annoyed with the basic instruction just proceed to another instruction or Steps.
Step1: Setting up the file
Under Menu Click File>New make it 500px by 500px

Step2: Creating Outlines
After you made new canvas, you may proceed in creating a folder and naming it outlines


If you see a little icon folder under your layer palette click it. Rename your group folder by holding on control and click on the “Group 1” word. It will let you edit the name of the group folder and name it “outline”. 


After you're done all that create a new layer under the “outline” group.




Now that you’ve created the new layer we will now start on creating outlines. Using pen tool under the tool palette we can create various types of shape at your own command.


If you've now click the pen tool make sure that you selected the paths. This is necessary since it will create strokes rather than shapes






Now that you have calibrated your pen tool to a specific task we can now start outlining.

This should be the shape of your path using pen tool. This is the body of the bird that we’re going to create.
Make sure that you choose a correct brush in the brush tool. The brush size and type will be used later when we stroke the outline


If you feel that it is hard to use pen tool without a guide you might need this. (Link)
While your pen tool is active right click on the path and choose stroke path. Remember to click the checkbox which says “Simulate Pressure”. The purpose of this option is to allow the pointy tips in our stroke (experiment if you like try not clicking the checkbox).

If all goes well and you followed my instruction it should look like this. To remove the paths double press ESC key.



To proceed with other outline just follow what the instruction above. Hopefully you now know the concept of pen tool and stroke path. There  are still more stoke to do I will not show it one by one since it would cost as time. I will just give you brief steps of stroke.
Now create another layer inside the outline group folder.



Erase some parts at the top using eraser tool.


For the head create another layer. Remember every outline must be in another layer.
Now let’s create the eyebrows. Create a new layer again and using Rectangular Tool Press “M” key
Drag to form a rectangle shape and fill it using fill tool
Move the Black Rectangle and hold down Ctrl+T. Rotate it and resize it until it looks like this.
Right Click and click perspective adjust until it looks like this


Since the first eyebrow is done let’s duplicate and flip it to save time. To do this first you must clicked the layer of the eyebrow and then right click and find duplicate layer.

Since we have two eyebrows we need to flip the other one resize it a bit. To do this click on the second eyebrow layer which we crated earlier and hold down CTRL + T then right click one eyebrow in the canvas and find flip horizontal. Adjust distance until you achieve similar to this.
If you’re done with the eye brow and your happy with it create a new layer under the outline and make the eyes, tail and beak of the bird like this using those steps above(must have separate layer of tail,eyes and beak.

So this is the finished outline of the bird using only pen tool and it is now taking shape. Remember if you’re having problem with shape and size you can always trace it with this one (link).

Step3: Coloring
Since we’re finished with the outlines and stuff let’s now proceed to colouring our artwork. First we need to create another group folder so that our artwork is in order. To do this refer to the instruction above (If you skipped), after you’ve created the folder name it color and place it below the outline.

Now that we have our folder let’s begin by creating another layer below the color folderb. Using the brush tool cover the inside of the outline with this color #d6002d.






Let’s create another layer inside the color folder and above the first layer. In this layer we will color the eyes the white part of his beak, use this color #ffffff.







Almost forgot we need to put the abdomen and some details of our bird to do this make a new layer place it under the eyes layer which we created. After you made the layer click on the pen tool and make a path like this and right click on it and choose fill path make sure that the color of your for ground color is #e2c4a8.



Let’s add another detail for his eye. Create a new layer above the abdomen layer and using pen tool make a path like this and fill it with color #a80023

Create another layer above all layers for the beak and start brushing with this color #fbba1e at the top and this color #f59c1e at the bottom .
Almost done, let’s add some detailed. Using the Elliptical Marquee tool let’s fill the details with this color #a80023
Just few more details like the highlights and the shadow
For the shadow I used pen tool to make a path and fill it with black. I lowered the opacity in to 30% .


Let’s add highlights


Like the shadow I also use the pen tool to trace this things fill them with white and lowered their opacity around 20%
And there you have it our angry bird. You could put background and things you like but the tutorial goes down here.
