The organization that handles BMMA students of CIT, Creative Alliance of Multimedia and Visual Arts Students (CAMVAS), hosted a number of seminars that helps and caters the interests and skills of their students, and showcased how broad the program is.

Last December 06, 2023 as a part of the said set of events, a seminar about Musical Scoring and Video Production was held which was called "TURN IT UP: A Musical Scoring for Video Production", where we explored about the background of sound designs, audio basics, and many more.

The seminar was graced by the presence of Cebu's very own CATTSKI, a singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer who is passionate about helping others create great music, the guest speaker of the said event whom imparted her knowledge about music to the numerous BMMA students present at the event.

basics

full name: zane hernandez hijapon

date of birth: 01/14/2001

age: 20

race: southeast asian

country of origin: the philippines

ethnicity: bisaya

spoken languages: bisaya ( native ), tagalog ( fluent ), english ( fluent )

gender: man ( cis )

sexual orientation: heterosexual

some stuff

for thirteen years of his life so far, zane lived in the philippines’ central visayas region. in 2014, he and his family relocated to the usa. at first, zane floundered in this new environment. he was fortunate enough to avoid any intense bullying in his school, but his schoolmates’ version of mercy was aggressively not caring about him.

he was lucky, he knew. it could’ve been worse, but back home, he was a model student, the golden boy of his school. he craved that status again... and then, in a few years’ time, he found out he was really freaking good at baseball.

zane’s classmates already found him good-looking and charming ( well, in the instances they actually talked to him ), but he needed one last thing: to engage in something so american. baseball became that thing. he became a popular kid. ever since, he’s only craved more and more praise and attention.

he’s 20 now. everything was supposed to be good. one day three months ago, however, he couldn’t leave west ham, where he’d gone to live alone for college.

at least his parents are somewhere else and safe. even now, zane remains a caring young man. but you can’t call him selfless. desperate for attention, and also to ingratiate himself among other faction 3 members, he’s been acting as if he’s a divine messenger of some sorts.

a bunch of people believe him, because he’s a combination of: pretty excellent bullshitter, pretty good guesser ( of how certain events will play out ), and also plain lucky at times. he feels bad, though. he doesn’t want anyone who believes him to use his “divine visions” to excuse the violence and deaths caused by faction 3, but some people do. 

he just tells himself that maybe all the people suffering and dying because of the factions’ violence against each other are in paradise now, in the afterlife. fundamentally, zane means well, despite all of his self-absorption, immaturity, and moodiness. he’s still growing... ( literally. the human brain does not finish developing until you’re in your mid-20s. ) but that doesn’t mean he won’t defend himself with his baseball bat if he has to.

Working on those requests slowly! :D don't hesitate to send more cause they're really fun to do!

Killer Queen made an excellent choice, as always. They helped Kira pick out some library books in the Central Library of Morioh.

Kira is reading "Hand Me Your Heart" - a popularized love novel from written in the 60s

KQ is reading a suspense thriller "Catnipped", where a beautiful and noble police officer Cattski is trying to catch a serial kitten kidnapper , notorious for using catnip during his grisly missions.

Please suggest some wholesome ideas and scenarios with Kira and Killer Queen, and I might draw them !

Being Good - Cattski Espina

Lyrics:

I feel good all over Even in your absence I don't regret the moment i let you go coz I know that I love you Everything's so clear coz I'm sure of how I feel I only feel sad whenever it hits me that I miss you sometimes i still find myself wishing you were here but i know this is better that for now i am w/o you here's my chance to finally figure out my life *And i need this time away from you and i know it's time the truth will show and this is my life and it goes on with or without you you're just the bonus that i get from being good One day i will see you i'll be free from all my issues i just need to learn to make amends with myself I don't need a witness to this rollercoaster journey This is something i've always needed to do all by myself I really believe that you deserve better I really believe that i can be better.

East Coast & The Midwest Vertigo - Notes from the Road 4

Baltimore Penn Station 

I was kind of stressed upon my arrival at the Baltimore Penn Station.  It’s my first time to take an Amtrak train to another State.  I like having a traveling partner.  I’m not one of those solo, in-search-for-oneself types.  Good thing I met a stranger. A 19-year-old, English speaking, Chinese boy.  He was on his way to New York, while I was heading to Philadelphia to meet my Atlantic City-based cousins.  My conversation with Alex was quite refreshing– it made the trip worthwhile.  He’s a smart boy, about to go to college in Montreal, Canada, but wants to drop by New York to party a bit before the educational torment.

                          George Washington Center, Philadelphia 

Before I knew it, I was in Philly and pretty happy to see my cousins. They’re particularly special because they’re my mom’s favorites.  My cousins, two lady nurses who have lived in the States since the 80′s, showed me some serious American history in Philadelphia.  Lots of George Washington, William Penn and Benjamin Franklin – stuff I learned in high school, but conveniently forgot through the years.  Then we took an hour drive to Atlantic City. 

                              200 year old house, New Jersey 

                                    Atlantic City Boardwalk 

I was to spend the next 3 days with my cousins.  The best part about New Jersey is that they don’t charge sales tax.  So yeah, a little shopping was in place.  Plus, I liked Atlantic City way better than Vegas–Casinos by the beach!  My cousins also took me to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to check out the Amish community.  I was really grateful to see that part of the East Coast and to spend some time with family.

Chi Town & The  Willis Tower

Speaking of family, I headed to Chicago after my short Jersey visit to spend some time with my brother.  The last time I saw him was 17 years ago when my dad passed away.  He works for an advertising agency in downtown Chicago, but is based in the suburbs, in a small city called Woodstock.  It felt warm and comfortable being with family.

                    My big bro Clyde and home boy nephew Dean

                   View from the 103rd Floor of The Willis Tower

Coming home from a day spent in Chicago, I noticed that I felt a little light headed and a bit dizzy.  Motion sickness, I thought, which makes sense because of the train ride, and maybe the speed elevator that took us to the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower in less than a minute – 50 seconds to be exact.  My nephew, niece and I planned to hit the local  bars that night, but I had to cancel because I thought I needed to sleep it off.  I was sure the motion sickness would be gone when I wake up. 

                                              Trip to the ER 

The next day, I woke up and the world was spinning.  I felt like I was on a crazy roller coaster that wouldn’t stop.  I couldn’t eat or drink.  I had to stay in bed, and even if I closed my eyes, the room continued to spin and there was no way of stopping it. It was horrible.  

My sister-in-law gave me a few anti-motion sickness pills, but that didn’t help.  The day after, I kept throwing up, so much that my brother had to take me to the Emergency Room.  At this point, it was already  full-blown vertigo (Benign Paroxysmal Postural Vertigo – in medical terms), and the ER doctor had to put me on drugs.  I was ordered to stay in bed and I wasn’t allowed to travel within the next 72 hours.

I was so frustrated, but I figured it was probably part of the Universe’s grand master plan.  Maybe I was meant to stay a little longer so I can spend a little more time with my brother.  I was actually supposed to head to New York the very next day to spend the next 4 days there, and play my first official gig at the Upstairs Lounge of Pianos.  Instead, I had to stay in Woodstock and change my travel itinerary.

                                               Pianos NYC

But I wasn’t going to cancel my gig.  I just needed 2 days rest, constant medication and nourishment.  I knew I was going to feel better – well, good enough at least to play in New York.  Thanks to a loving family, the world started to move a little less and I was eating solids again.  I left Chicago on a very early flight to Atlantic City where my cousins were waiting to drive me to New York for my very first New York gig.

Aren’t you fed up of repeating common humdrums

When they’re played in such pretentious atmosphere

What you should listen to are songs that make you want

To face your fears, boost your spirit, learn to fly

And LIVE TO INSPIRE!
