December all ready?

Unfortunately I’m not ready :-( . Odd as Im really not feeling the whole christmas vibe yet but I do like the cold mornings :) . Is it just me of time really is moving faster and faster.

The GUIDON EB race started a few weeks back which prompted me to put training into a hiatus while focusing more on webdesign and press rather than dancing. I still love dancing but I really have to put it on hold, graphics and web design are still of course my first love.

Speaking of graphics on the web, Tata made a post about this a while back. In the good old days when PHP was just starting to creep its ways to the regular filipino web designer as a helpful tool and Wordpress was still called b2. Back then we seem to all worship and adore sites like Aethereality.net, Blinding-light.com and Daydreamgraphics.com. I wanted to reminisce and take a look at them and well I sort of saw that many of them have become stuck in the past.

All three of the sites mention above have not been updated in more than a month. Two are still using the sort of fan-girlish anime type layouts we all used to use when we started out. Daydream graphics has embraced wordpress as a CMS and let go of its home grown database of tutorials and layouts but well I no longer worship the layouts that are posted there. On the sidenote, the only premade layout I did and submitted to aethereality is still the last updated pop-up layout available.

Searching for sponsors

Sponsorships are probably the most troubling thing that I’m currently working on. With the financial crisis around the world, companies are trying to cut back on every thing including advertising and helping the dreams of young talented dancers. It’s unlikely we’ll get any funding from the alumni or the school soon since the only sport the school cares about is basketball.

I’m planning on sending a sponsorship letter to Supadance though I’m quite doubtful they’ll respond but I’ll keep trying though!

It’s not just the ADSC that needs sponsors, ACTM as well. Specifically, wired our magazine needs sponsors so we can have money for printing. Life is just so hard now.

So to anyone who might be reading who’s from a large company, if you have any gill or zenny to spare please contact me :-)
