Painting Composition Class: Rule of Thirds
The Rule of Thirds is the easiest compositional rule to follow in a painting.


The Rule of Thirds is a basic composition rule popular among photographers, but equally applicable to the composition of paintings. Applying the rule of thirds to a painting means you'll never have a painting that's split in half, either vertically or horizontally, nor one with the main focus right in the centre like a bull's-eye.

What is the Rule of Thirds?
Quite simply, divide a canvas in thirds both horizontally and vertically, and place the focus of the painting either one third across or one third up or down the picture, or where the lines intersect (the red circles on the diagram).
Composition Class: Rule of Thirds

What Difference Does the Rule of Thirds Make?
Take a look at these two photos of a lion. On the one on the left, your eye is drawn straight into the centre of the image and you tend to ignore the rest of the picture. On the one on the right, where the lion's face is on one of the Rule of Thirds 'hotspots', your eye is drawn the the lion's face, then around the painting following the curve of the body.

Thirteen year-old Julia Abueva has been called a lot of things: child prodigy, amazing performer, teen sensation. The Singapore-based young singer, whose parents are both Filipino, says one tag is the most special—she is proud to be a Filipino.
"It's awesome! I'm proud to be Pinoy," said Julia, who was featured in the "Smartest and Most Talented Kids" segment of popular talk show Oprah November last year. At her tender age, she has already performed in hundreds of concerts and events in several countries around the world.
Julia's family moved to Singapore when she was four years old. Since then, she has gone back and forth to the Philippines for various concert performances. At the age of eight, she was a guest artist in the individual concerts of Pinay theater actresses Monique Wilson and Lea Salonga. She was also the voice behind "We're All Just One," the official hymn of the 23^rd Southeast Asian Games held in the Philippines in 2005.

Julia, granddaughter of National Artist for Sculpture Napoleon Abueva, also has had the honor of performing before presidents, royalty, and foreign dignitaries of countries like China, Indonesia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and the USA.

The Oprah citation, therefore, is well-deserved. Julia, however, did not have time to sing in the show. She said the episode coincided with her first solo sold-out concert held in Esplanade, Singapore.

Despite the acclaim in foreign countries, Julia said she misses the Philippines at times. Several Filipino habits cheer her up.

"You know I get really homesick when I'm in Singapore. Sometimes I miss the Philippines so much. So what I do, I just eat adobo, then I get my old Pinoy movies and I watch it all day," Julia told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during the launch of Encore, the new premier school for the performing arts in the Philippines, held yesterday, August 11, at Mag:net Café in Taguig City.

PEP asked the talented singer, who now sits as the new school's creative consultant, about the Pinoy movies that she loves.

"I like the love stories... those with Richard Gutierrez, John Lloyd Cruz, KC Concepcion," she said.

But since these movies are in Filipino, does she have a hard time understanding them? Can she still speak the language?

"Kaunti lang. 'Salamat po', 'mahal kita', ganyan," Julia said.

DREAMS OF STARDOM. The child prodigy said she was born to perform.

"Ever since I was small I always had this thing for performing. Like in parties I would always grab the mic and start singing when no one else wanted to," Julia said.

Julia added that as a child, she had memorized the themes of several Disney movies. At three years old, she learned how to use the VHS, and so she would spend entire mornings watching the movie Annie again and again.

Her big break came when she was seven years old. Her first performance was a guesting in another female singer's concert in Singapore, where she sang three songs.

Now at 13, she has already released a succesful CD single in Singapore. A full-length album is also in the works for next year.

Julia believes she can ultimately break out as a pop star in Hollywood. She also dreams to be a big Broadway star.

But since she's a true-blue Pinay, would she be willing to relocate to the Philippines just to pursue another career?
"You know, if there are opportunities here I would like to try because at my age it's best to take whatever opportunities come my way and see how I feel about it. Kinda just experience everything," Julia said.

Nagmamahal ako ng bakla by Dagtang Lason.
Hahaha. I used to hear my guy classmates sing this song. Made me really laugh the first time na narinig ko to. When I saw the lyrics, it made me laugh more. As requested, here's the link and the lyrics guys.

Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae
May mga babaeng manloloko
Pineperahan lang kami
Kaya ngayon bakla na lang ang aming iibigin
Masarap magmahal ang bakla
Ohh kay sarap... damhin

Sinisubulan ang puso ko laging sugatan
Sineseryoso ko bakit ako ang iniwanan
Kaya ngayan nagising na ko sa
Katotohanan na lolokohin lang kami
Ng mga kababaihan

Kaya ngayon napagpasyahan
Na bakla ang aking iibigin
At ipapadama ko na himig na aking
Damdamin sa kanya
Oo nga! At hindi sa isang babae
Dahil ang puso ko ay kanilang sinabutahe
Para bang ako'y isang laruan

Na tinapaktapakan pagkatapos
Pagsawaan kanilang tatalikuran
It's so unfair kaya bakla na lang
Ang iibigin kaya ngayon pakingan niyo
Para sa inyo 'tong awitin.

Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae
May mga babaeng manloloko
Pineperahan lang kami
Kaya ngayon bakla na lang ang aming iibigin
Masarap magmahal ang bakla
Ohh kay sarap... damhin

Hinanakit sa babae ang dahilan
Kung bakit nagmahal ako ng tulad niya
Kahit siya ay pangit
At di niya pinagkait at sakin di lumapit
Kyan hanggang ngayon virgin pa ang aking pwit
At alam ko naming wala akong kahati

Di ko siya mabubuntis
Pagkat pareho kami ng ari. Grabe!
Buong buhay niya ay sa akin binigay
Lahat-lahat kanyang inalay
Basta wag lang akong mawalay sa kanya
Di na kita iiwan kahit na ika'y bakla
Basta tiwala mo sa akin sing kinang
Ng tala at totoo.
Relasyon natin ay parang ginto
Mahal kita wag lang sana kong magkatulo.

Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae
May mga babaeng manloloko
Pineperahan lang kami
Kaya ngayon bakla na lang ang aming iibigin
Masarap magmahal ang bakla
Ohh kay sarap... damhin

Na sulat ko ang kantang to dahil sa galit
Pagkat sa tuwing nagmamahal
Puso ko'y napupunit
Ginawa ko naman ang lahat
Sa kanya inilaan
Binigay ang nais na luho
Pati ang aking katawan.

Pero kapalit nito ay isa palang kataksilan
At nagawa pa niya na ako'y pagtawanan
Kaya ngayon si Len Jack
Ay labis ang pag-iyak
Puso ko'y parang nasagasaan
Ng limang milyong truck.

Siya ay simpleng tumatak
Ang sakit ng natamo
Kaya nagdesisyon tuloy ang puso na laging bigo
Na bakla na lang ang iibigin ko
Di na ko masasaktan nagkapera pa ako.

Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae
May mga babaeng manloloko
Pineperahan lang kami
Kaya ngayon bakla na lang ang aming iibigin
Masarap magmahal ang bakla
Ohh kay sarap... damhin

Isang bakla ang iibigin habang buhay
Sa kanya ko lang inalay ang puso kong makulay
Siya ang nagbigay ng tawa at saya
Pag-ibig kong ito sa kanya lang
Lumigaya kesa sa GF ko
Na wala namang pake

Nagmahal ako sa kanya ng wala ng silbi
Kaya sa isang bakla ako ay nagmahal
Kahit sa ibang girl pag-ibig ko ay matumal
Kahit karumaldumal pa ang kanyang pagmumukha
Basta wag niya lang akong gawing kaawaawa
Kaya sa bigo, sa mga babae diyan
Umibig ng bakla nakakalat lang yan diyan

Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae
May mga babaeng manloloko
Pineperahan lang kami
Kaya ngayon bakla na lang ang aming iibigin
Masarap magmahal ang bakla
Ohh kay sarap... damhin

Ayoko ng umibig ng kahit na sino pa
Kasi ako sa'yo ay okey na
At ako'y sa'yo na
Basta yung responsibility ay wag limutin
Wala kang ibang gagawin
Kundi ako'y pasayahin, ako sa'yo ay happy
Kasi lagi akong busog
Hindi mo ako ginugutom

'Cause takot kang mabugbog
Sa buhay ko ikaw ang pumapapel na yaya
Pero kahit ganun hndi pagpapalit sa iba
Pero wag kang umasa na sa'kin ka maka-isa
Bago tayo magtabi sa kama magpa-opera
Oh di ba hi-tech?
Tayo ay modern na lover
Pag dumukit ka sa'kin sisigaw ako holdaper!

Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae
May mga babaeng manloloko
Pineperahan lang kami
Kaya ngayon bakla na lang ang aming iibigin
Masarap magmahal ang bakla
Ohh kay sarap... damhin

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLORS

85% of Human communication is visual. And what more aspect of visual communication can deliver excitement and variety than Color?

The Rainbow (The Universal intro to the Visible Spectrum)
Most people believe that the only colors of a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, but a rainbow is actually made up of an entire continuum of colors – even colors the eye can’t see!

A designer should not use color without a specific plan or goal. Here are some of color’s principle uses:


o Conveying emotion and meaning
o Changing perception of space
o Changing apparent size
o Showing similarities and differences
o Parsing the visual field into chunks
o Linking spatially separated objects together
o Attracting attention
o Creating emphasis
o Smoothing to improve image quality
o Creating aesthetic and emotional appeal

What are some common mistakes in color usage?

o Using insufficient brightness contrast. This is the biggest sin,by far.
o Paying attention only to aesthetics
o Using color for color’s sake without a specific plan or color scheme.
o Assigning different colors to the same type of the same color to different types
o Using hue to represent a quantitative continuum
o Creating large fields of saturated color
o Using too many colors

How does color convey meaning?
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Agency), for example, has standardized

o RED: danger
o ORANGE: warning
o YELLOW: caution
o BLUE: notice
o GREEN: safety

He is every celebrity's perfect companion. From bags to Visas to tickets, He'd rock every boat to get you what you want.the ultimate but seemingly impenetrable BERNARD CLOMA.
Why should he be? He is definitely not a Gigger boy, a diva,merely Bernard Cloma, but to most, he is one big presence, and reason for this story. His charisma is like waft of spellbinding air that throws people around him-in the entertainment industry or in the political scene-into harmony.
RUMOR OR FACT?
Bernard Cloma bared the truth behind the tales

RUMOR: That he figured in a spat with the security in Celine Dion's concert;Celine greeted him with,"Hi,Bernard" and told the security "Please let him in,he's my friend."
FACT: Yes,she called out his name and asked the security to let him in.

First Amendment battles continue to rage across the US over the posting of the Ten Command-ments in public places — courthouses, schools, parks, and pretty much anywhere else you can imagine. Christians argue that they're a part of our Western heritage that should be displayed as ubiquitously as traffic signs. Congressman Bob Barr hilariously suggested that the Columbine massacre wouldn't have happened if the Ten Commandments (also called the Decalogue) had been posted in the high school, and some government officials have directly, purposely disobeyed court rulings against the display of these ten directives supposedly handed down from on high.Too bad they're all talking about the wrong rules.Every Decalogue you see — from the 5,000-pound granite behemoth inside the Alabama State Judicial Building to the little wallet-cards sold at Christian bookstores — is bogus. Simply reading the Bible will prove this. Getting out your King James version, turn to Exodus 20:2-17.You'll see the familiar list of rules about having no other gods, honoring your parents, not killing or coveting, and so on. At this point, though, Moses is just repeating to the people what God told him on Mount Si'nai. These are not written down in any form.Later, Moses goes back to the Mount, where God gives him two "tables of stone" with rules written on them (Exodus 31:18). But when Moses comes down the mountain lugging his load, he sees the people worshiping a statue of a calf, causing him to throw a tantrum and smash the tablets on the ground (Exodus 32:19).In neither of these cases does the Bible refer to "commandments." In the first instance, they are "words" which "God spake," while the tablets contain "testimony." It is only when Moses goes back for new tablets that we see the phrase "ten commandments" (Exodus 34:28). In an interesting turn of events, the commandments on these tablets are significantly different than the ten rules Moses recited for the people, meaning that either Moses' memory is faulty or God
changed his mind.Thus, without further ado, we present to you the real "Ten Commandments" as handed down by the LORD unto Moses (and plainly listed in Exodus 34:13-28). We eagerly await all the new Decalogues, which will undoubtedly contain this correct version:
I. Thou shalt worship no other god.
II. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
III.. The feast of unleavened bread thou shalt keep
IV. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest.
V. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of
ingathering at the year's end.
VI. Thrice In the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord God.
VII. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven.
VIII. Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
IX. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.
X. Thou shalt not seethe a kid [ie, a young goat] in his mother's milk.

The voice behind this collection is Princess. Young, pretty and vivacious, with a soothing voice to boot, Princess listens to a whole lot of other music like funk, rock, standards, acid jazz, and also confesses an affinity for chick rock bands and artists like The Corrs, Plum, Jewel, BVKelly Clarkson, Alanis and other similar types. Though she confesses that “My first love has always been light-pop, so acoustic music really fits me to a T” she also dabbles professionally in jazz and bossa through her two previous bands. “I have no qualms doing these songs, I listen to all these artists and their songs and it’s an honor remaking them. People will be pleasantly surprised, these are all different takes of these well known hits.”

Track 1 Single Ladies
Track 2 Thinking of You

Got hits? “Addicted To Acoustic” definitely has an abundance of it because all 18 tracks are certified hits. This collection draws mainly from this season’s pop hits, a lot of which are the biggest songs of the moment like Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” , “Too Young” by Taylor Swift, “Lovebug” by the Jonas Brothers and “Thinking Of You” by Katie Perry, “Right Now (nanana)” by Akon “Ordinary People” by John Legend, “Decode” by Paramour, and “Single Ladies” and “If I Were A Boy” by Beyonce.

As the album’s title suggests, these all-hits, acoustic album is an aural fix for those who want easy, relaxing music. This CD is highly recommended if you’re really into acoustic-guitar driven music. You will certainly enjoy the stripped down versions of Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” , Marie Digby’s “Say It Again” , Chris Brown’s “With You”, David Archuleta’s “Crush” , Colbie Calliat’s “Realize”, Shontelle’s “T-Shirt” and more.

A British man killed his estranged wife after learning that she changed her marital status to single at her Facebook account.

”Richardson became enraged when Sarah changed her marital status on Facebook to single and decided to go and see her as she was not responding to his messages,” Cortese said.

”He gained entry by breaking the front door window and made his way into the property.

”Once inside, he found Sarah in her bedroom and subjected her to a frenzied and brutal attack with a knife and then attempted to take his own life.”

This incident is a lesson to married ones who are trying to act like unmarried by setting the marital status in Friendster, Facebook, MySpace or any social networking sites to “single” because it will really cause trouble between the couple especially if their husbands or wives are jealous.
