Sharing is a sign of thanking God for the gifts that he gave us and a proof that we are eager to bare fruits so that we can be a living testimony to everyone that someone (HOLY) out there do exist.

One of its purpose is to generate awareness for the general public to be socially aware of the current issues. Now, for the sake of generating awareness to the public, DXI has decided to make a video-content post just to feature this particular AVP from the environmental advocate group call "DESIGN AGAINST THE ELEMENTS".

Karolina, ( the girl who has a unique and creative way of posing in front of the camera) who became the model for "Green Revelation", "Mystical Princess", and "Silent Sanctuary".

Climate Change: The Frankenstein of Nature

-----------------------------------------------------------

Climate change is the nature's Frankenstein

that was created by man's irresponsibility.

We are now suffering under the shadow of this man-made dilemma.

We can still prevent its next attack by doing the basics:

Reuse...Reduce...Recycle

Act now!

This post is made for:

Blog Action Day 2009

"Climate Change"

Philippines Under Typhoon Ondoy

.....Last September 26, 2009, typhoon Ondoy delivered a huge amount of terror to the people of the Philippines. Hundreds of people died and properties that cost millions have been damaged. The scene that the typhoon left is very disheartening.

.....Today, October 1 (first day of the month), signifies a new beginning and a new HOPE. A new beginning that should serve as the victim's starting point and a new HOPE that should serve as their primary inspiration to move forward and to continue with whatever life has to offer them. But, it's not that easy for them to start all over again. Those victims lost their loved ones, properties, and even their HOPE. What these people need right now are people of their own kind who expresses help beyond their potentials. Help... that can only be felt when sincerity has been injected and help... that can light a new and a much brighter direction.

Let's show these victims that we're one of those people who wants to see them have a new and better life.

This post is for

Clash of Conflict

.....Today's post showcases another unpublished product of DXI, Clash of Conflict, which was done several months ago. DXI has decided to publish this product since the month of September is about noticing the pioneering products (the unpublished ones) that were considered as the primary reason on why Druoun X Images was created.

The model of the above photo is none other than DXI's very own Matthew S. Chua. He played both characters of this scene creating a representation of two sides (positive and negative).

"Clash of Conflict: The battle of good and evil"

.....A war that was started a long long time ago by two opposing sides. The primary goal of this war is to recruit people basing on their character, values and the difference that they have made.

Which side will you be?

The Catherine Canete Award for Work-Martyr of 2009

.....Today's feature is considered as Druoun X Images' highlight for this month due to the recognition that this site has to offer.

.....Ms. Catherine Canete is an employee of a school in the Philippines and she's one of the most dedicated people when it comes to her work. DXI can feel the overflowing passion that passes on her veins as she executes her job perfectly. A devotee when it comes to over-time (actually, it's too much over-time).

.....The upper left image shows a picture of Ms. Cathy doing her paper works on an outdoor place which is located far (very very far) away from her original office. This only shows that wherever she is and no matter how strange the place is, she will definitely grab her things and work as long as she wants to.

And now, for the award:

The Catherine Canete Award

for

WORK-MARTYR

of

2009

.....The above award was named after her as a recognition for her exemplary dedication and hard work. This piece of award will serve as an inspiration for visitors and readers of DXI worldwide.

Love for work, passion, and dedication are the key elements that made this post possible.

Note: This "Post of Recognition" has been posted on this particular date because this DXI certified special date is also her birthday.

Happy birthday and Congratulations to Ms. Catherine Canete!

Dark Invader

.....The month of September marks Druoun X Images' 8th month of existence. DXI was launched last January 2009 for the purpose of showing leadership and sincere service in a very unique way. Today's post features "Dark Invader", one of the pioneering product of DXI.

"DXI is a mixture of art and advocacy"
-Matthew

.....The above photo, Dark Invader, is just one of the many reasons why DXI was created and being enjoyed by readers world-wide. A very scenic photo that was portrayed by DXI's very own MATTHEW S. CHUA. This particular photo is actually a product of Matthew's passion for both visual arts and performing arts. Thus, Dark Invader was born. And as a result of his dedication for photo-manipulation and leadership, he created Druoun X Images.

Today, Druoun X Images has become a blog site that features:

]Ordinary people who wants to be part of DXI's endeavor.

]People who wants to boost their confidence.

]And people who are artistic in nature but wasn't able to appreciate their innate gift.

Promoting Change

.....Steve Digo is back here in DXI spotlight as he occupies the second installment of Druoun X Images' "Operation Change" campaign. Mr. Digo sent an email message to DXI and the said message contains his dream of saving the world through his God-given talent, which is singing. Today, Mr. Digo will surely be that kind of person with DXI's end-product.

-----------------------------------------

]To dedicate one's talent for the sake of promoting change isn't an easy task. It takes a huge amount of courage strengthened with dedication and passion.

]To promote change requires different skills that can help in influencing people to participate in this kind of advocacy.

]To build positive change, one must first become a builder of hope.

------OPERATION CHANGE------

---------------------------

Dreaming of helping the world isn't too ambitious as long as one is capable of exporting that dream from the land of make-believe into the world of true existence.

Art Day 2009

.....Today is Art Day. This is a very special day for artists of all kinds worldwide and right now, DXI is just one of the 100+ bloggers committed to write a post for this very special occasion.

----------------------------------------------------

.....Art, you are both my strength and my weakness and I shall dedicate my life to you as long as I leave. You are the flare that burns deep within my soul, the power that runs through my veins and the light that shines on top of my dream . You are my life, my passion, and my soul.

This post is for

Innate Stardom

.....Today, Druoun X Images has received an email containing a sender's wish of becoming part of DXI's free service program entitled "Pose for a Change". This time, the sender is a male (the first male sender, actually). Steve requested DXI to do a scene that portrays him as a superstar with unreachable fame.

.....Basing from his submitted photo (right) and from his request, DXI had decided to come up with this kind of scene (below):

Magazine Name:

.....Droun X Images EXCLUSIVE (Volume II).

Title:

.....Innate Stardom

Model:

.....Steve Digo

About the cover:

.....Fame, so easy to know yet so hard to understand. Knowing its true potential is a mastery while discovering its origin is a majesty.

Now, for the transformation....

Shown below is the DXI product:

The above photo is the first of DXI's new formulated advocacy which is "Operation Change".

.....Embracing "Change" (represented by a mystical medallion) for the benefit of everyone is such a challenge. Every society really needs to have leaders. Leaders that are open-minded and are willing to create positive change for the betterment of their people.

.....There are two kinds of change: the positive and the negative. What kind of change Druoun X Images would want to promote is the positive one. Let this photo serve as an inspiration and a challenge for every individual who wants to create change for their chosen fields.

Deteriorating Paradise

.....The month of August is here and there's a lot of things that Druoun X Images would love to share to its growing visitors worldwide. It feels nice to know that more and more people are engaging in DXI's "Pose for a change" program. And to start the month right, DXI is very pleased to feature Manilyn.

.....Manilyn sent her simple yet quite unique photo (left) which serves as an inspiration for DXIs author, Matthew S. Chua. The photo can be considered simple yet meaningful. With this kind of scene, people may actually notice the background scenery more than the poser itself. Based from the evaluation of DXI, the photo has passed its standards and dubbed as "nature above self" photo wherein the poser, Manilyn, poses for people to see and appreciate the background scenery rather than appreciating her.

.....O.K., enough with the introduction. The next part is to reveal the end-product that Druoun X Images has created for Manilyn and here it goes:

"I never saw how God created the paradise and all I'm seeing right now is how people of my own kind destroys it. It is a blessing to have a life for me to see the beauty of it. But, it is also a living pain for me to witness how it begins to deteriorate."

-DXI's MATTHEW S. CHUA

.....Everything that surrounds us are God-given Paradise. It is a fact that a perfect paradise is real. Yet, sooner or later, it would be considered as a myth. Have a moment of silence and try to internalize the message of this post. If you do want to have a perfect paradise rather than a deteriorating one, then be responsible in your own actions. Remember, we were made as humans yet we don't act like one!

DXI Pictures As One's Reflection

.....Have you ever dreamed of having your own movie? I'm talking about you being the main star instead of being the producer of the movie. You might say that it's impossible for either of the two ideas yet to tell you frankly, it can be! Big and great dreams that became real started from little things. These little things were once considered as mirror of our fantasies that we're so eager to make it happen.

.....Pictures are great examples of this explanation. Scenic pictures to be exact. That is why Druoun X Images is really campaigning for this type of pictures because for one, we could definitely express our inner passion. These pictures are also tools in telling the world what we really want to be aside from the once that people sees from us. This type of picture can be considered as our alter ego's reflection.

.....Below, is an example of friends dreaming of having their own movie. A fantasy movie that can be interpreted in any ways.
