How to Combine Your Facebook Cover Photo and Profile Picture Together using GIMP

Hey everybody! Did you guys heard of the Great Giraffe Challenge? (facebook link) I have, and I failed that's why I changed my facebook profile picture into a giraffe for a week. (._. (The original riddle says only 3 days but the guy I got the question from said 1 week) Andrew Strugnell, the creator of the riddle, says he will release a riddle weekly. [1] Luckily I answered the second riddle correct.

Now I will teach you how to do this, in GIMP.
My previous facbook profile. I just changed it :P

Break Time!

Hi there, here's a quick post. I'm really sorry for not posting these past few weeks. It's just that I'm worn out from school. I would just like to say that I'm taking the rest of the month (October) to rest, relax and unwind, so I hope you understand. Don't worry, I'll return soon! ;)

So what's your plan this Halloween? Me? I'm trying to make some kind of mask, but I doubt I can finish it in time for Halloween. It's my first ever cardboard build. It's the Joker from The Batman. (This one) (And this is what I've accomplished so far)Well, good luck to me and see you soon! Cheers! ✌

September's Judgment: Mechanics 101

I can't believe it's already October! September truly was a very busy month, so sorry for not posting. And my post last month was about August! What!? A lot has happened this September, some were fun and exciting, and some were depressing and sad. Let me narrate what has happened this September. (I should have just drafted some of the details then, I don't have that much long term memory.)

September was like climbing a mountain, uhm no. September was like pushing yourself through a needle hole. Yep that's the description. It was Saturday morning, and it was raining as I traveled to school. The rain drops on my coat just like the time is counting down to my judgment. It's as if the weather is predicting the results for the exam. We had the FINAL EXAMINATION for the subject, Mechanics 101.

-ber Months have Started!

Hello friends! How're you? I'm sorry I have been inactive (online) for the past few weeks. Well, August has been a very busy month for us. I will also expect September to be the same. Today I will just make an overview of what I did this August. (My memory betrays me, so I will only put what I remember. lol)

Let me begin with exams. August is the "Midterms" month and expect a huge wave of exams approaching! But since we're on engineering, we don't usually have midterm examinations, just our minor subjects. Then again, since we don't have midterm exams, there are A LOT of long exams! It's like exam every other week! 

And then there were the Programs organized by our organizations. The Peer Facilitating Training-Workshop that was held last August 30, 2013 at the University Function Hall, is an annual

Simple Door Lock Mechanism

Good day! So I booted up my old desktop the other day and saw some images I didn't know I had. Some of these were already uploaded on my facebook but I don't remember I uploaded them. LOL. Anyway here is a simple door [un]lock mechanism that I devised. As of then (actually until now), it was only an unlocking mechanism. But I have been thinking possible ways to also make it a locking mechanism which I will discuss in the Suggestions/Recommendations later.

This is only a prototype. I will make another one in the future

My old friend, revisited after a year.

A Fansign from my Idol and our Almost Failed Report.

Sorry for not posting last week. You see, the week before last week, I lost a battle of RPS. (Rock - Paper - Scissors) You can read about it on my last post. Well, we, I'm sorry, I did a lot of research of the dances that hit in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, the 2000's, here in the Philippines. But unfortunately, I kind of failed. :/ The only resource that I had are the threads from certain forums where the users post about their experiences in the said time periods. 

The report was OK in the beginning, I did the "Twist", but as the time went on, the teacher's interest became lesser and lesser by the decade. He was looking for some Filipino dances, but we didn't have any until the 1990's! The teacher almost stopped our report, and we would've failed, until in the 2000's, he asked who are my other group mates. And since we're reporting on dances, he made my other group mates dance, including Cyril, a passive and silent student.
