I hold my heart so fortified

Last day goodbye 

I hold my heart so fortified

Last day goodnight

All I do …is hide  

All I have… is what’s left of my pride

What I’m constantly losing? Is the power of my strong fight

So I stand way behind at the end of the line

It’s something that can’t be denied

It’s all about time and I will be fine

That’s what everybody rhymes

It’s all about time and I will be just fine

And I will be able to break this silent crime

But here I am again sad as the darkest wine

So lonely but still one of a kind

What does it matter really?

What difference does it make?

Being real and so far away from fake

What change does it take?

To do what’s best for my sake

Here I am once again playing this losing game

Love is real?

I ask myself again

Love can be very severe

I answer with an aching pain left so sincere  

Love is strange?

A question I’d rather change

Love is weird?

That is something I always feared

Love is break

And I am afraid from this heavy weight

Love is what I hate

And I hope I regret this phrase

Here I am once again with broken faith

Standing alone at the lowest stage

All full of pain and a lot of rage

This feeling makes me go insane

Makes me feel so sick as if poison is in my veins

All I see is a closed up, shattered way

Dark and gloomy even in the middle of the day

But I guess this is the price to pay

So this is what I claim 

And when I raise my head to the glory of fate

I say it straight to its face   

Last day goodbye

I hold my heart so fortified

Last day goodnight

There is nothing to do but to hide

And, I declare, “Love is a losing game”.

I have lost more than what I gained

It’s just like tears in the rain

Of thoughts of lost love stories

Falling apart to soak my heart

With the strong poison’s truth

Until I’m drawn in this endless booth

Last day good bye

I hold my heart so fortified

Last day goodnight

I have lost this furious fight 

So I close my eyes, somehow failure is bearable with no sight

Love can never resemble white

Love is like a flying kite

It seems to be So far and so free

But always tied down

Just like me

Queen of Hearts

This afternoon I had the inspiration to create
my own personalised poker card representation of the queen of hearts.

So here is what I did

Preparing the files:

1. Take the time to choose an appropriate poker card that represents you
2. Pick an interesting picture of yourself (choose something that reflects your inner feelings.)
3. Do a bit of research to see the different representations of the poker card's symbols

Photoshop work:

1. Start by doing a bit of editing to your picture: removing background, cleaning edges, fixing the levels 
2. Save your image as ".png" and open a new file 
3. Set the size (something rectangular) choose any of the following types depending on what you prefer: 
1. RGB (for internet use)
2. CMYK (for printing)
4. Insert your image
5. Using the "eraser tool"(e) erase part of your image side ways 
6. Duplicate your image (alt. drag) and turn it upside down (⌘ T. and turn the mouse)
7. Download some particular pattern that you like
8. Manipulate it's colours to form the colours scale intended
9. Place the pattern under your picture
10. Save your picture as .jpg and keep a .psd copy in your files

Illustrator work:

1. Open a new page.
2. Drag your edited image to illustrator and embed it
3. Draw a round edge rectangle around the image
4. Right click > send to front
5. Select all (⌘+A)
6. Right click > select "make clipping mask"
7. Select the round edge tool again and click once anywhere on your page > click ok
8. Thicker the border of the new shape as much as you prefer
9. Select the round edge tool one last time and click once anywhere on your page > click ok
10. Hold down alt+shift and drag with your mouse to enlarge the shape to form the card borders 
11. Type several "Qs" letters and choose your font
12. Draw the poker symbol or download one from any free vector website. (supporting websites bellow)
13. Put your "Qs" above the poker symbol and group them
14. Place them on the two opposite sides of your card 
15. Select the card shape > go to effects > stylised > drop shadow
