The Timeless Beauty of Colors

It wasn't until recently that I started to truly appreciate the beauty of color. Haha! So a couple days ago Ira watched my traffic safety video and commented on how "professional" the color looked.... HAHA! Yeah that kind of made my day and it got me thinking too about how much of a difference a bunch of colors can make. As time passes I'm getting way better at color correcting and I can tell because I looked at some of my old videos and noticed how horrible the color was. I touched it up last night and compared the two and the color now makes the video look WAY better! Its amazing what colors can do for your video! Yeah and today Ramiscal was telling me about how its good that I have advance color skills because its better to make your footage look cleaner than to cover it up with after effects..... Ahahaha! So it seems that I have an ace up my sleeve for future competitions :P But it really hit me when I ate lunch at Shiro's today. As I sat there and stared out the window I was looking a tree at a very nice angle and I noticed how rich the colors were. I dunno it must of been the lighting from outside but I'm starting to see the kinds of colors people want to see when they watch videos. I kind of stared at the tree for about five minutes appreciating how rich the colors looked. For some reason it didn't look like just ordinary colors today it looked like something that couldn't be caught on film and I think I know what I need to work towards when I color correct. I guess my eyes are finally being opened to the timeless beauty of colors.

The more I think about it

You know the more I think about it the more I really don't want to go..... At first I was thinking "YEAH!!! It'll be so great!!!!" But now as time passes I'm starting to believe that I don't want to go through with it.... When I was first given the offer I thought it would be fabulous because there was people there that I could get along with you know? People that actually accept me and people that I can have fun with. But as time passed I guess the circumstances changed and now it seems that its only getting worse! There's nothing that feels worse than being in a place where you feel awkward, a place that you have no one that you can really connect with. Can you imagine being in a place where all the people you are with are in one social group and you aren't apart of it? That awkward boringness is kind of giving me second thoughts I mean this is an opportunity that I was really looking forward to but what's the point if I'm not gonna have fun right? Like I need to be in a place where people only think of themselves rather than think of the group. I'll admit that I get greedy at times but I always try and act in a way that will benefit the group. A certain someone told me that I'm too nice of a guy....... I guess thats true but not all the time cause some people can really bring out my horrible side. I just hope it doesn't get to that point because the last time I was pushed over my boiling point I kind of got into really DEEP trouble...... Well I guess we'll see where this goes from here.....

The Price of Love

So on Valentine's day I found out what the true price of love is. Nowadays you hear people tell each other "I love you" every single day but do they really mean it? On Valentine's day my cousin Jay got married to his sweetheart Coco. They got married at the Hilton Prince Kuhio. The wedding was great I had a lot of fun there had to have been at least 300 people there because trust me it was packed to the MAX! So I was over at Jay's house today finishing my calculus homework when I over heard him talking to my aunty (his mom) about some stuff while he and Coco was opening the envelopes that they received from family and friends. In total they received about $15,000 and at first I was like "WOAH!!!!!" but when I turned to look at his face he and Coco didn't seem too happy. After listening to the conversation a bit further I found out that the wedding cost $29,000! And that's when it hit me in the gut...... I didn't give them anything. After that realization I felt so horrible! I can't believe it slipped my mind! They looked a bit down because neither parents had enough to cover the remainder of the cost..... Saying "I love you" to someone is easy because its free but the fact is that the cost of true love is no where near "free" you might think that saying "I love you" to someone and giving them a fake smile is considered love but its not. Love is something you have to pay for I mean sure maybe you won't be paying $29,000, you don't have to buy them fancy gifts, or get them a car, the only thing you'll have to pay is commitment. To truly love someone you have to commit time to them to ensure the best for them and thats something that I learned from this. Although he knew he probably wouldn't have enough to pay for the wedding Jay got married anyway to show that being with the person you love is way more important than being in debt. I know that we had our differences before but this is something that I truly respect Jay for because to make a sacrifice like that is something that most people are to weak to do. The next time I see him I'll have to remember to give him a card with some money. My memories with Jay might not have been the greatest but I want to help him in whatever way I can because he showed me what the true price of love is.

Day off at SP

So yesterday we finally had a waiver day! A break from calculus, physics, and video. So I ended up going to Waianae High School to go and visit some of my old SP friends from over the summer. I thought it was pretty cool how there were lots of people that were still happy to see me. I ended up arriving there at like 10:30 their schedule is so different from ours..... So I was just relaxing in John's class for 2nd and 3rd period were I saw people like Lindsey, Sam, Ash, Teuuil, Cody, Randon, Jane, Colby (the list goes on forever) I guess I came on the wrong day though cause they were really busy and most of them were stressing while some of the others finished work early so we sat there and read the newspaper together and stuff and Aaron and I were talking about old times at SP. Its so weird to because its not like Ramiscal's class were Ramiscal would take the time to teach the students some things its like they walk into class and they start working. SO WEIRD!!!!! (Normally Ramiscal would have to say it a couple time to get the kids working) Well after that during 4th I went to O'Conner's class and hung out with some of the animation people like Heidi, Tracy, Casey, Mel, Bird (The list goes on forever again) but yeah. It's good to see that no one changed Heidi and Tracy were being their same hilarious selves. Heidi was showing me some of her mad animation skills and being a Heidi and Tracy was talking about dinosaurs and tar LOL!. Oh and Seanzo ended up coming too! That was like a double treat! cause he's usually so busy and stuff. I was surprised to see that his eyes were darker than mine! And Janae told me that my eyes were black so maybe I need more sleep :P Being with my SP friends made me think of how boring it is back at home cause the people in our schools are so different. They're a lot more judgemental... Like if you don't dress or act a certain way they won't really accept you unlike SP where everyone is pretty much cool with everyone.... I try to have fun at school like I have fun at SP but the people just aren't the same. I dunno Sean and I are supposed to plan something out with our SP friends for next week but I don't know how thats going to go. But seeing our SP friends again really made my day! The next time we visit though I just hope Heidi doesn't make me smell like berries again cause the haircut lady was giving me weird looks :P Overall it was a really great day I give it 7 out of 5 stars. Would've been 10 but we didn't have time to do exciting stuff.

Opportunities

Oh finally! I finally finished Jamaica's revised video! She looked pretty happy about it so that got me happy about it too I worked really hard on that video.... I can't believe the color render alone took 140 GB :P Knowing that I'm done with it kind of brightened my day cause thats a big load off my shoulders.... Speaking of taking a big load off your shoulders today I was thinking about why is it that the most laziest people seem to get the easiest and most rewarding jobs? Sometimes I get really irritated at the fact that I'm always getting the hardest and most boring jobs! I mean sure maybe its not like manual labor jobs but still its painstaking and down right irritating! I sit there working hard on something while someone else gets a quick and easy job and gets paid for it while I on the other hand get nothing for all the time that I put into my job! Its really stupid how things like this works out that way. It happens to me like ALL THE TIME! I know that the hardest jobs are the most rewarding but you know I wish I could get an easy reward job sometimes too you know? I mean why should lazy bums get an easy reward while I'm working my but off for something thats not even close to as great as what they're getting? In fact not too long ago I watched as someone received an easy job and got like $80 for it.... Its okay I guess cause I didn't have the time for it.... But still why was it offered to someone else when I deserved an opportunity like that way more? I don't mean to talk down on the people that I'm doing the video for because whether they pay me or not I'll always put my best effort into making the video the best quality possible. Its just that all these business opportunities are just passing me by and going to everyone else..... And today Ramiscal told me that my bad attitude is starting to show and talked to me about some other things..... Yeah its true that my bad attitude is starting to show but I guess I'm just starting to get tired of how things are.... Everyday I see people just sitting there doing nothing and all of these fabulous things just fall into their lap like new cars, clothes, and money, while I have to work myself to the bone for every little thing that I own! I hardly have time to go out and have fun like everyone else cause I'm constantly working...... Shoots I would be happy if I had the time to go out and buy socks, watch a movie, or even go out to lunch with some friends but I just don't have that luxury.... You know sometimes I wish that just once something fabulous could fall into my lap...... I've been hoping for something like that to come for years but nothing ever came......

Talk about irritating

You wanna know what I find really irritating? Those fools that go to church and make like they live by the Bible's teachings. I mean don't get me wrong I have nothing against church cause I go every so often myself but its just a certain type of people that go that irritate me. I really hate it when those certain people talk about how they are "drama free" and tell people what they are doing wrong with their life and how they should live it. But what a surprise? As soon as you turn your back what happens? You hear them squabbling at other people and making BIG dramas out of the stupidest things in the world. I believe that its good to try and live by the Bible's teachings but when you preach about it to others and be a total hypocrite to what you are teaching about that just irritates the crap out of me!!!! I have to deal with it like every week at school I hear people talking about living a better life and some of those idiots even preach to me at times!!!! I hope they get punished for lying like that! For putting on that fake mask and taking it off like a day or so later! How can they say they LOVE GOD and live by the Bible when they can't even do that for more than a day? Its really stupid how some people think that they are righteous people when in reality they are more rotten than the people they are trying to preach to? Oh goodness there are so many things that irritate me at campbell sometimes I wonder why those waianae kids untied me from that chair..... sometimes I wish that they would've never let me go :P lol I miss working with them....
