Well Hello! Hello! I haven’t posted in a while, and a lot of things have quite piled up that I have the urge to share, because they are such wonderful memories.

As Fall arrived, everyone suddenly seems to have become busy, I have also become busy-er…lazy these past weeks. Been Just playing a lot of Video Games, more so with Ragnarok Online.

Aside from that, an incident that happened to me at my workplace got me feeling all sour, touchy and grumpy (who wouldn’t if someone stole your DS and embarrassed you in front of your other co-workers…that’s just not right. Just wanted to rant that statement out, its purely my opinion.)

So I decided that I should move my concentration somewhere else, because my other start-up hobbies went ‘flop’ (making handcrafted sleeves like vocaloid and selling them to conventions, getting japanese classes unfortunately work was very tight as of then :( so I couldn’t go through with it.) I came across an affordable pegbar for animation from Lightfoot Animation Supplies for $4.95 and that the pegbar holes would fit exactly from a 3 hole punch. How fun! So I went ahead and purchased it, it totaled at 13$ something together with shipping. I was so excited when I got it in the mail the next week. I was able to experiment. I bought myself a ream of paper and just started working on it when I’m not playing video games when I got  home.

Here are my tests:

I feel motivated enough working on these that I started borrowing tons of books about animation from the library, and I’ve gotten some more knowledge and insight in the correct ways of animation.

So now, when I’m free, little by little I’m going to work on this little project of mine, I won’t spoil anyone because it will be a very very short animation.

Fremont Holiday Faire

I was able to check it out this year, and its still as fun and enjoyable as ever coming from a mini-convention. I got myself a CLAMP Kiseki box colored red, and I got Hikaru, black mokona and another clamp character I don’t recognize as figurine chess pieces.

Birthday Lunch

Spent time with friends and family eating out <3 I had a lot of gifts, thank you everyone!

Drawing

I haven’t been drawing much lately :(

Under the Moonlight

The guild I belong to, Under the Moonlight finally hits its lowpoint, as wednesday War of Emperium activity has been cancelled until further notice, and from there I usually don’t play Saturday WoE because there’s no point in taking over a castle with the lack of attendance we’ve been getting just to be kicked if not targeted specifically just to prove that our guild is no longer as strong as it used to, not to mention it seems half of the guilld has already migrated into WoW. Its just sad, after all these years…I’m still going to stay, I love this guild.

OSU!

I came across a fun, free online rhythm game! Its exactly like Osu Tatakae Ouendan, except you can choose from a large variety of tracks to download and play from.

Jack and Jill

I watched Adam Sandler’s movie with dad, and I loved it! It has soo many silly scenes, inside jokes and fun! I Rate it:

Brother’s Home for the Holidays

:) Need I say more? Only thing I didn’t like was driving him around, but oh well, he got us yummy cakes for xmas <3

Collaboration Proposal

A collaboration was proposed between me, ratcabob and mysticeden to be submitted for this year’s BAAU down comic. We’re still in the process of brainstorming a story.

A Convention?

Me and my friends are brewing a convention, we’re still in the conversation and talks so far, It slowed down when December had hit but I hope it picks back up after all these holidays.

A Beta Test Invite

Around after Christmas, I was checking my e-mail when I got an invite to beta test Ragnarok Online 2 Legend of the Second, and I would have screamed and squealed so high if it wasn’t at my workplace. Soon as I got home, I confirmed if it was legit by checking it out from the forums, and it sure was! The download took an entire night and woke up around 5am just so that I can install it. Turns out that KRO was having problems letting foreigners into their game. Two days later, it was finally fixed and I was able to make an Archer and play with in in a little bit. I wasn’t able to fully play with it because I decided to skip a day to rest fully. Unfortunately the day after that was when they closed the beta testing. I’m sad, but at least I got to try it. I loved the music, they environment’s beautiful. The interface’s just hard to play, especially if its all in Korean x_X.

 

I think that’s it so far. Not been smiling as of late, Ill try :)
