I’ve been thinking about life lately, particularly on what may come in the future. I have finished a phase in my life and wants to start another. I am eager to catch up but I am also afraid to face the unknown.
Life has treated me well. If life is like a ferris wheel, maybe I can expect my turn to go down. And I am afraid of what may come.
But life has to go on, and fear is part of being human.

FREE ART PROGRAMS
So recently I came across a fellow artist who was struggling to find a free art program, and considering dropping the large amount of money for a Photoshop license. I know not everyone can afford such an expensive program, so I’ve compiled a list of programs with no cost to download and use.
Keep in mind all computers are different, so not all will work for everyone. Also, I’ve only ever used Windows, so for the most part, I’m not sure if everything will work for Mac. if in doubt check the website linked.
Photoshop CS2 - (Windows, not sure about Mac.)
FireAlpaca - (Windows and Mac)
Sketchbook Copic Edition - (Windows and Mac)
GIMP - (Windows) (Mac)
Paint tool SAI [cracked] - (Windows) (Mac)
Paint tool SAI 2 beta - (tumblr post on said program)
iPaint - (Mac)
Paintbrush - (Mac)
Pencil - (Windows, Mac)
Paint.NET - (Windows)
Seashore [still in development, ver 0.5] - (Mac)
ChocoFlop - (Mac)
Inkscape - (Mac and Windows)
ArtRage [Demo] - (Mac and Windows)
OpenCanvas 1.1[must pay for 2.0] - (Windows, not sure about Mac.)
MyPaint - (Windows)
Krita - (Windows)
Vectorian [Supports Animation] - (Windows)
Pixia[Japanese, some English versions] - (Windows)
Asperite - (Windows)
Chasys Draw IES - (Windows)
SmoothDraw - (Windows)
TwistedBrush Open Studio - (Windows)
BOUNS - CTRL+Paint [Great for teaching all kinds of stuff, like how to use digital programs.]
If you know more free programs, please add onto this!
just wanna add that for 2d animation, opentoonz is the open source version of the software that studio ghibli animators used!
Do you remember when we first met? I thought I had wandered into a dream.

Kuroo/Oikawa: Ohh? Hmmm? Ehhh~ Kageyama-kun is on the cover by himself? How many times has it been?? No, I’m totally not interested in that though. Well, isn’t it okay?? Hinata: Haikyuu!! Vol 25 goes on sale today!! Please do support it!! Tsukishima/Yamaguchi: … Kuroo/Oikawa: Stop looking at us like that!!!
PS: It’s only Kageyama’s 2nd time appearing on the cover alone. Of course, Kuroo and Oikawa haven’t appeared on the cover alone, so… (And to add to that, Bokuto, Ushijima and Sawamura have, so they’re the only captains who haven’t… XD)

#KinoshitaOnCourt2017 - ACHIEVED!
I am a chilean law student and it's difficult for me to see all these news and posts about "things happening in Aleppo and we're just witnessing it without doing anything about it". Can a simple 22 year old law student from South America do anything to help? (I kinda struggle a lot with the frustration of not being able to do anything that matters)
We all struggle with wanting to do more, but part of the challenge is to recognize our own limitations and maximize what we can do. My advice is to pursue a three-fold strategy: Donate, Educate, Advocate.
DONATE: There are some amazing organizations doing work in Syria and with Syrian refugees. Support them. In particular, those that are started by the Syrian diaspora. One of my favorites is Karam Foundation (www.karamfoundation.org). Others like Sunrise USA (www.sunrise-usa.org) and the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS - www.sams-usa.net) also do great work. All these folks have teams on the ground in Syria and in refugee camps. I would also add the White Helmets (www.whitehelmets.org), an amazing group of volunteer rescue workers inside Syria. Their work is inspirational. Others exist, small and large, so find whatever you are comfortable with.
EDUCATE yourself about the situation in Syria. Read. But do so wisely. In particular, learn what Syrians and people intimately involved with the situation are saying and writing. ISIS is *not* the biggest threat in Syria; the Syrian regime is. Assad is. Don’t fall prey to those who equivocate on this fact. They are either grossly misinformed or willfully advocating for an authoritarian ruler. Equip yourself with information. There are folks like Hadi Abdullah and Leila al-Shami providing witness from on the ground. Find them on social media and follow them.
Other people have been writing on the conflict. Here are a few authors I would recommend: Idrees Ahmad, Robin Yassin-Kassab, Hassan Hassan, Rania Abouzeid, Samar Yazbek, Rami Jarrah, Yassin al-Haj Saleh, Sam Charles Hamad, Fred Hoff, Charles Lister, Moses Brown, Janine di Giovanni and Deborah Amos. They write articles, books, take pictures and some blog. Follow them on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Read. Then teach others.
ADVOCATE for Syria. Not just refugees, but Syrians inside the country. For starters, push for four things: safe havens in the country for civilians, lifting regime’s sieges that are starving entire populations, humanitarian corridors for aid and a political settlement. Ask your countries to be more proactive. Most governments don’t think Syria and the human suffering there matters to their own populations. They assume there is no political will. This does not have to be the case. Start your advocacy in the easiest way you can: in your own circles, with your friends, social media, etc. Don’t let Syria and Aleppo just be a headline for a passing moment. Keep paying attention. Demand that your politicians pay attention. Let apathy be your enemy.
If you want to know what you can do about the terrible interruption to humanity going on in Aleppo, Adnan Zulfiqar, a Sharswood Fellow at Penn Law, is answering your asks right now. Read his Answer Time over on our Action Tumblr.
It’s important to recognize what we can actually do for the people cross the world from us.
I haven’t been able to draw as much as I wanted to lately. Things have been pretty busy before the holidays but I hope to get back to drawing soon.
In the meantime, have a picture of the sky at dawn from my bedroom window. With all the ridiculous and tragic things I see in the net, every sunrise brings with it a new hope. I hope everyone has a pleasant holiday and new year, I hope the people on the streets get warm meals, I hope children in refugee camps can sleep warmly at night, I hope the people of east Aleppo can get to safety soon, I hope people can be reunited with their loved ones. Here’s to a better year!

Work it out, folks! Your voice is essential to the conversation and we need you to participate! What good is all that talent if no one benefits!
I experienced this yesterday - being misunderstood because of one sentence that stem from a whole pool of thought. Maybe the fault was my inability to explain well. If I tried to explain everything on how I came to that conclusion, I will probably have a 5 page essay. So that person gave a counter argument disagreeing to my statement. But the problem is, I totally agree and thought what they said was a part of my what I was trying to say.
The thought of explaining everything is too daunting even though I wanted to be understood. I gave up on that thinking that they will probably never understand even if I tried.
I consider myself as a quiet person just because I don’t really like to talk and the things people talk about don’t interest me. But I will talk if two conditions are met: 1) I‘ve thought through what I will say, and 2) people actually stop to listen.
I really do think there’s value in thinking before saying, but I also wished that I was more proactive in standing up for what’s right.
Design struggles
Currently working on the final design for my architecture thesis project. My main struggle is to create a physical building form our of an abstract idea. Tell me how do you make a building participate?? You can put walls to make people go through a certain way. But that doesn't mean the building looks like your concept. What is a concept anyway?? I thought the concept thing is already in there??

INFJ Confession #2550
I feel like no matter how I interact with people, it’s attention seeking. And so I just don’t talk to people. I feel like my opinion isn’t needed and when there’s an even number of people with me, I’m perpetually the third wheel, so I stop talking.
this is definitely me.

The problem student
I had always had a sleeping problem ever since I was in elementary school. I slept during morning assemblies, I slept as the teacher taught in front and eventually, this became a problem. It was the hardest to stay awake in the afternoon. The teachers talked to me and tried to help, my parents kept telling me to sleep early and I tried all sorts of things. But the sleeping “problem” continued until my last year in elementary. By this time, it’s apparent that I was a problem student and was sent to the headmistress’ office to be straightened out. Surely, being scolded by the head scared me, so it sort of worked. Again, I tried everything I could to stay awake and my final method was to sketch as the teacher taught.
I had loved to draw/sketch even from way before. That helped to keep my mind focused while my ears still listened to whatever was being said. But I still got into trouble and this time it was because I was sketching. So I got sent to the headmistress again. This time, I have had enough and was barely paying attention to what she was saying. I meant no disrespect to any of them but it’s horrible to try your best but still be accused of doing something wrong. It was also obvious that no matter what I did, they probably didn’t see much in me. After that, I knew that I had to show them that I can be more than what they expected and I can succeed while hanging on to what I love which is drawing and sketching. My parents were cool by supporting me all the way. At the end of elementary, I was among the straight A’s students. That felt good.
But the important thing is, school can suck. It’s not made for everyone to succeed by being taught the same exact way and you can’t define success by grades. I whole heartedly believe that everyone has a gift or potential that can be their sole passion in life. Some are easier to discover than others. And adults should encourage the youths to discover them. Not the opposite.
So if you see a kid sitting alone and not fitting in, let them know that things will get better and tell them to hold on to what they love. �?�{�
