A Novel

I've been enrolled to a new art school and I have been busy with that. I also have a new project these days. I am writing a novel! It's been really fun writing it, and is still progressing. I never knew writing could be this fun. 

I've been forming a single story for years now but never really started joining them all together as a novel. Now I have! The story genre is fantasy, adventure, kinda like the books I loved reading like The Lord of the Rings, or the Chronicles of Narnia. It's three chapters long for now and is still progressing...

And would you believe it? I just started on another one! An idea popped up in my mind the other night, and it was so good, I just had to write it down. It is another novel but with a different genre. It is an action, adventure, comedy theme set in numerous universes. It's kinda weird but that's just the way I like it. I just started on chapter one and I sure hope it won't stop there hehe.

                                       Thank you God for giving us the power of literature!!!

How about you? Do you like writing stories? If you do, what kind of story do you have in mind?

Learning To Draw Manga Poses

                         

 Here are another of my manga drawings from my time in art class. My teacher gave me a reference where I could copy this pose but use my own characters and my style of clothing.

 I penciled them first then used charcoal to finish them. I hope you like them.

Manga Painting From Art School

               Hey guys! This is one of my paintings from my art classes. My teacher gave me a reference picture where I could copy the pose but use my own characters. It wasn't easy since I don't really use paint much but I hope you like it!

               Thanks for visiting my blog! I'll put up more of my artwork soon!

Art School

          Hey guys! It's been a long time since my last post but don't worry, I promise I'll post more this week. I just got enrolled into an art school where I could get more experience in art. I go there every Saturday afternoon and spend two hours drawing and painting. The picture you see above was the first painting I drew and painted on my first day there. Hope you like it!

          I will be posting more of my recent drawings and paintings this week, so make sure to visit! :)

A Few More Drawings

Here's a drawing I did recently. You can name this character if you want.

And another one...

And another one, this character might be familiar to some of you. This is a fan art I made a few days ago of the great Monkey D. Luffy of the Strawhat Pirates from my favorite popular manga series "One Piece ".

The Man Who Dreamed

There once was a Man who dreamed.

He dreamed of castles and knights.

And fought dragons all day and night.

 He would dream of running through a forest of flowers.

Or climbing up emerald towers.

In His dreams He could be a king that rules a country, or a superhero that could fly.

Or He can pretend to be a fish in the sea or a cloud in the sky.

This Man spent most of His days under a tree in the grassy plains.

His eyes were always filled with a gleam.

And He never felt sad or pain.

Because all He did was dream.

Happy Father's Day!

I'm Back!!!

Hey Guys! Sorry, I was gone for some time and I haven't been able to blog yet. I was in the Philippines, my home country for my two month vacation. Yay! I'll show you some pictures of my time there.

I had my graduation ceremony there!

I spent time with cousins and relatives.

We had some funny times together.

We even went to the beach!

But I spent most of my family time with my Dear Lola (Grandmother).

I also went to a national basketball game with my Grandfather. It was a lot of fun!

I had a lot of fun with my family relatives back in the Philippines and I thank my parents and of course God for this wonderful gift! Thank you!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Dearest Mom,
I wish you a very happy Mother's Day! I know that Mother's Day is of a different day there in Thailand but I still want to wish you Happy Mother's Day all the same. I thank you for being my Mom. I thank you for all the love and care that you have given me and my sisters. I wish you a happy year and I pray that God will bless you greatly this year. I miss you a lot!

Your Loving Son,
Benji

Why We Celebrate Easter

Did you know about the history of Easter?

Easter celebrates the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. For some people, Easter is more significant than Christmas. Jesus Christ's sacrifice is celebrated on Good Friday and the resurrection on Easter Sunday, three days after Good Friday.

Easter reminds us all of the Great Gift that our Lord has given us and we should be very grateful.

Jesus Christ died and rose again!

Happy Easter To Everyone!

The History of Video games

Did you know that video games have a very long history?

The origin of video games started with the invention of cathode ray tube-based missile defense systems in the late 1940s. These devices were then adapted to simple games in the 1950s.

Tennis for Two 1958

Pong 1972

Pong is Tennis for Two's successor. I'm quite sure some of you may still remember it and I'm also quite sure that a number of people still play this even now.

This is the Atari Home Pong console released in 1975.

This is the upright cabinet of Pong.

The very first video games were already installed in their consoles.

Then came cassettes and tapes.

Then of course with the invention of the compact disks. Game consoles were then designed to use CDs.

The Wii
One of the latest gaming consoles of the present.

The PS3
Also one of the latest gaming consoles of the present.

Then came of course the portable game consoles. You can buy all these in supermarkets or online.

Video games have really gone far from when it first started to now. Video games of now are getting more and more realistic. I wouldn't be surprised that in only a few more years, game developers would be able to make virtual reality games where a player would be able to feel everything in the game as if it was in the real world but such a technology like that would still be very dangerous to use. Like many other people, I am also fond of video games but of course, there are still limits to gaming. Too much exposure would prove to be dangerous and unhealthy. But always remember to have fun.

Some Doodles I Drew Recently

These characters were just a few doodles I made to pass the time. Well, my best doodles I guess. They're not perfect, some are not done yet and some are not even inked.

Here's one.

And another one. If you want, you can name any of these characters yourself!

And another one. This one I think turned out pretty well don't you think. There were a few slight imperfections though.

Haha, here's another swordsman. I think you may have noticed that most of my characters have swords in their hands or swords sheathed by their side. The thing is I like swords and I'm planning to write a comic book about swordsmen.

OK, now this is a little different. This guy is supposed to be a modern age guitarist. I drew his guitar sideways if you are wondering what he is holding.

Aha! now this guy was supposed to be a Viking or a robot. I don't really remember but this is how he turned out to be.

Ok, now I'm quite sure you know who these two characters are. They were one of my experiments on drawing Western comics. I'm afraid they didn't turn out too well though but I colored them anyway.

Here's another familiar face or should I say mask.

Well, these are just a few of my drawings and hopefully I will be able to post more later. I know it has been a long time since my last post of my drawings and I apologize but I really have been busy with school so I didn't have much time to draw but now I finished school, I will be able to post more. And about my manga project, Rock Hearts, I'm having a few difficulties in drawing it exactly as I want and it will take some time for me to train my drawing skills worthy for my story. Hopefully though, I would still be able to finish it soon.

Well, I hope you like my art! Thank you for visiting!

Positive & Negatives

 

Did you know that positive and negative energies must coexist or this world would explode?

 

It is true that when a positive force plus another positive force are together, they are repelled. This world has two poles, North and South, one is positive and the other negative. If they were both negative or if they were both positive, the whole world would explode. 

 

It is also the same thing with magnets. they have north and south poles. One is positive and the other negative. Notice when you try to join two like poles of two separate magnets. They repel one another right? But when both poles of two separate magnets are different, they join together. 

This also applies to everyday life. Don't you find it weird that when something really good happens, an equal negativity always accompanies it? It may not happen all the time but I have experienced it many times. But, every time something bad happens, Someone is always there for you. This world cannot have the perfect, ultimate positive atmosphere that Heaven has and no man can be perfectly good as God is perfect in every way.

Graduation At Last!

Did you know that I finally finished High School?

Yes! Finally, after schooling for many years, I am finally done! I schooled in many different countries in many different schools and also homeschooled in many different homes.

Did you also know that I never graduated before? I didn't do my last year in elementary school because I had to study a new language so that I could enroll in a local school in Malaysia where we once lived. It was hard yes, but it also was quite fun and was a very good experience.

I've also been switching from homeschooling to public schooling then back to homeschooling. So far, homeschooling was far better for me. In homeschooling, my academic grades were much better. I learn more interesting subjects aside from Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, Word Building and Literature. I did some extra subjects like Filipino, College Math, World History and Economics, Health, Music, New Testament Survey and Life of Christ, and I still get time for sports and practical arts. I finished all my required high school subjects just after I turned 16! If I were in public school, I would still have one more year schooling!

Next month, my Mom and I are going back to my home country for the graduation ceremony at the school where I was registered as a homeschooler. I hope all goes well!

Thank you God for all the blessings You have given me!
Thank you for my wonderful education!
Thank you very much!

University life, here I come!
