Tropical Summer Flavour

Batch #21

2011-01-09T15:05:00.001+08:00

12 icons, cameras. I love cameras, and I badly want a Holga, but I have no money to buy it. ):
And, this batch is an update on all my unexpected long hiatus, so I'm technically STILL on a hiatus.

Hiatus notice.

2011-01-09T10:41:00.002+08:00

SEVERAL NOTICES TO TAKE NOTE OF:

If it’s not obvious enough - we have a new layout! Try ripping and I’ll make you appear in your birthday suit in the cyber world. YES, THIS SKIN IS HANDCODED BY ME, SO DON’T ANYHOW ACCUSE ME OF RIPPING. Notify me if there is a need to credit anything that is not credited here.
I won’t be able to update TSF as much as before. I desperately need a maker right now - someone to help me update this site as well as delete the multiple spam advertisements in the tagboard. Haha. Notify me via tropicalsummerflavour@hotmail.com or the tagboard if you can help me in this department! (:

An update.

PENDING REQUESTS
Will do them ASAP.
Andrea - Unazukin dolls (5 icons, 5 banners)
Carmen - Photography (5 banners, 10 icons, by 25/11)

New layout! Nice? (: I think it's really bright - definitely bright enough to catch your attention :>
TSF needs a new maker. Please notify me at the tagboard if you want to be. When at least five people have notified, I will re-open the makers app. It's really troublesome if I open the makers app but nobody applies. -sad face-
I may not be able to update much, let alone make much graphics. Though it's now the holidays, I'm really busy with holiday assignments (WTF) and my part-time job. Hopefully I'll be free by December.
NO, THIS SITE IS NOT DEAD YET.

Hello, back again. I shall be updating twice today, 'cause I made an extra batch of banners.
Anyway, I feel like changing layouts again :/

Batch #11

2010-10-14T10:59:00.001+08:00

Hello, I'm back from hiatus!!! And today is October 14 - MY 14th BIRTHDAY!!!

Hi.

2010-10-03T15:03:00.001+08:00

Changed layout (: I modified it from the layout I made for my personal blog.
I might be on a hiatus till October 13. That is, if I manage to stay off the computer till then.
Checked TSF's inbox today and saw an email from Sonia. Sorry, Sonia, for not checking it sooner. ): So now, she'll be posting anytime. (:
Gee. No one drops by here. -sad face- Care to advertise us? I don't think other graphic sites would be happy if I advertise at their tagboards...

Cheers (:

Batch #10

2010-10-02T10:29:00.001+08:00

Hello (: Back from my brief hiatus. BUT. I will still be on the hiatus till 13 October, because my EOYs are still ongoing. Just that Phase 1 is over. :D
Anyway, I have an announcement. I will not be putting down my resources anymore. Nope, I'm not going to claim credits that I did all these graphics (I editted them, but I don't own them), but it's easiest for me if I were to take pictures from my Tumblr or WeHeartIt dashboard, so go check my Tumblr and WeHeartIt for the exact links of where I got my bases from.

Theme: Stocks & Photography
Quantity: 14 icons, 18 banners

Brief hiatus.

2010-09-26T13:50:00.000+08:00

My end-of-year examinations are coming in four days, and it'll be ending on October 13. October 14 happens to be my birthday, so I'll definitely be trying to make a really big batch (: Meanwhile, if you miss me (as if - no one drops by TSF D:), go follow me on Twitter, yeah?

Batch #9

2010-09-26T13:41:00.001+08:00

Details at Batch #8 / previous post.
This batch is bigger than the previous one, though I did it at the same time along with it. I was trying out stocks for the first time (kinda), and I hope it's not bad.
Anyway. This site is like dead. Sonia still hasn't contacted me yet. -sad face- And it's so unpopular. Speaking of Sonia, I saw quite a number of hurtful comments on her tagboard. Gee. Those people should at least tell her where she went wrong instead of doing that. Sigh.

Batch #8

2010-09-26T13:27:00.003+08:00

Quite a big batch from me this time, so I divided it into TWO batches. And, I would like to apologise for two things - firstly, I am not able to list down every link, so I suggest that you drop by my WeHeartIt account, where I ♥ most of these pictures. It's on the very first resource link, by the way. Secondly, I might be on a brief hiatus until my EOYs are over.
P/S: I heart the Taylor Swift icon (:

2010-09-18T12:00:00.000+08:00

There were only two entries - although she was the only one who notified me on the tagboard. The entry she submitted was pretty good compared to the other person. To Hannah, I'm really sorry. Come and try again, yeah?

So, I'm just waiting for her reply and maybe she'll start posting soon. (:

Batch #7

2010-09-18T11:52:00.001+08:00

Hello! TSF has been on a three-day holiday (if I'm not wrong), so I'm making it up with a batch and an announcement. I'll start with the former first - posting a batch I worked on in a matter of hours. -happy face-

Batch #6

2010-09-13T20:27:00.001+08:00

Hi (: I managed to do more graphics today. I think this batch is quite bad, even though I spent a lot of time on it. My PhotoShop's Imageready thingy kinda crashed, so I had to depend mostly on PhotoScape (which is bad news).

And it's officially - towards the end of September, Tropical Summer Flavour will be on a temporary hiatus;, probably until October 13 (~~day before my birthday -sad face-~~). So during that period, I doubt anyone will drop by here anyway, since obviously many people are preparing for EOYs.

Updates

2010-09-12T17:10:00.000+08:00

Tropical Summer Flavour now has a new layout!!! It took me a long time to edit the skin, made by <a href="http://www.blogskins.com/me/janlovexyouu">JanLovexYouu</a> (if I'm not wrong). The upgraded Blogger template was waaaaaaaaay complicated.
I might not be able to update often now, because the September holidays have ended. And come 29 September, my End-of-Year examinations starts. Thus we might be on a hiatus without notice. But when we come back, I promise that we'll be posting big batches.
Err. I need a maker. Or two. Or three. Heheh. Click on the <b>misc</b> navigation for more info.
That's all, I guess.

Introduction

2010-09-09T14:01:00.000+08:00

Hello (:
I'm Shana, and welcome to Tropical Summer Flavour!

I had decided not to use a blogskin from BlogSkins.com; because I want my skin to be really unique. And the upgraded template is really nice, so yeah. Except I have no clue how to edit the complicated codes of an upgraded template.

Why Tropical Summer Flavour?
Well. I'm a huge fan of this really cool Japanese rock and Visual Kei band, SuG. Yeah, well, you might never have heard of them. I like this song called 小悪魔 Sparkling from them, and the line "tropical summer flavour pounding" appeared. It sounds nice, and I hate naming stuffs, so yeah. TSF is this graphic's name. (:

What programme do I use for my graphics?
I use PhotoScape for resizing, cropping and maybe a little colour editting, and PhotoFiltre Studio X if needed. I'm a noob at the latter, and I don't own Photoshop. So I depend mostly on PhotoScape.

Where do I get my resources?
I usually get them from Tumblr's tagged by [theme], WeHeartIt and Google. If I am using Tumblr or Google to find those images, I may just credit them as Tumblr and Google, instead of the specific links. I'm really sorry, though, because unless the batch is small, it'll be impossible for me to list down every link.

Do I do requests?
Hell yes! :D You can either tell me at the tagboard (for the moment there isn't...), my blog's tagboard or, better yet - my Formspring. You can get the link at the end of this post.

What about makers?
I don't want them, I need them. Please contact me at my personal blog for the time being. You can find my Twitter, Facebook and tagboard there. (My Twitter and Facebook links there are listed as 1 2 3 in my profile.)

Okay, that's all for introduction. I've made some graphics today. I will be affiliating myself when I have done my fifth batch, 'cause it'll be weird if I start doing it now, when I have just established this site. So yeah. Bye.

Tumblr | Blogger | Formspring
