The First Jobless Days

"San ka pupunta?" "May bago ka bang work?"

Those are some of the question they asked when I resigned my job. After 2 years, I felt I have to improve myself outside the company.

I may be Mr. Jobless, but that doesn't mean I will be useless. Saturday, I choose to stay home and practice my guitar. I practiced the opening riff of "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind" and worked on my vibrato. Later in the afternoon, while my father is sleeping in my room, I decided to study Blender, a 3D modeling software. After some tutorials, I made my first scene in less than a day.

A simple winter scene

(I made the flag and the hat on day 2)

Today, I made two different models (By experimenting on different functions of the software).

A simple octopus

(the four other tentacles are at the back -__-)

A mouthless Poring

(had a trouble making the mouth)

I can't believe I made these in less than two days. I am very happy about my newfound skill. I just wish I had a faster PC for fast renderings of the models.

Unexpected Tip: Watch what's falling on your umbrella

Ok, here's what happened. I'm starting to fold up my umbrella, now dry from this morning's rain. Then suddenly I noticed, two small, dried-up sticky substance. I tried to remove it but I can't. (pics later)

Flashback. Last night, about past 6:30 PM, I went out of our office to find the street flooded with the water because of the heavy rain. At that time, the rain is getting weak and we then took an alternate route so we can go home as early as we can. Then, while on the way, I felt something had bumped into my umbrella. My officemate then exclaimed "Ingat kayo, may wire!" I, felt nothing bad, just walked and gone home after about 2 hours.

Back to reality. I was like, fuck. I could have been toasted literally. Luckily, I see that my umbrella's frame is not entirely made of metal, it has a strong plastic type material.

So the lesson is, watch those stray live wires.
