What did you do?: woke up watched some crunchyroll and nagged my bro to help me change my bedsheets because it was all covered in my goodies
Hii! I’m feeling a little better nowadays, especially with listening to Akiko Shikata’s wonderful Ar Tonelico music.
Too Much Stuff?
mmmm soo my bro helped me out today, and I really did feel I have too many stuffs :( such material things….sure proves I’m some form of otaku. Waai~ I want more space T^T I want them in shelves instead of stacks, I want them organized. Sometimes I wish to sell them to get more space, but sometimes I don’t want to lose another beautiful work to another. *sigh* otaku indeed. I gotta clean my room someday x_x one of these days….
Artist Alley Table
Sooo… Fanime Artist alley table’s gonna go live on jan 28, I think I have to be around to do it myself and share it with a friend. But first I have to accomplish two things: One, Get myself a Temporary Seller’s Permit. Two, get myself registered for Fanime 2012. Definitely going to be busy this month.
Sketchbook
Well I’m not super really prepared for the Artist Alley, so I just decided I’d make a small booklet sketchbook to sell for that and do some commissions, I’m not super good anyways and not as active in DA to actually garner some…familiarity with other popular artists. What do you think? I’m working on something else, I just hope its good :D
Well it’s the middle of the day, a lot of things still in need of doing. See ya’s ^_^ and keep smiling.

What did you do?: Work, Ragnarok Online, watched CSI S10 Disc 3
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 :)

Today's Wish: Enjoy the weekend further
Current Music on the Head: Ricken’s - Be Free
Food in thought: Pork and chicken buns!
What did you do?: Played a lot of RO, and went to the library to doodle and listen to music.
Woohoo! Its been a while! A Lot of things has come and gone. I attended the yearly Fanime 2011, and my first Anime Expo 2011. Can’t say I have been busy, but I have to say honestly, I have been lazy. Been playing too much video games, but once in a while I hang out with good friends that share the same if not similar views notably known as BAAU.
BAAU Up Project
So, within the group we’ve thought for quite a long time ago to create a colored art book to sell to conventions just like we sell the BAAU Down. After finally deciding and voting for a theme, the project is underway….slowly. To be truthful I haven’t even finished my one and only colored entry. I need motivation to finish it ^^;; ahaha~
Anime Expo
Even tho I didn’t fully attend the event, I checked out friday and saturday. I enjoyed immensely the ParaPara Workshop. Got to watch a Lupin III movie, though I was already dozing in and out. Saw awesome cars, industry booths, and shook hands with most of the DA artists I follow. And its really as packed as it seems on convention photos. It has its very own aura way different from Fanime.
I also got to meet Heimdllr and Oda from Warpportal/Ragnarok Online. And I also met two of my guildies from Under the Moonlight Guild.
WonderCon
I forgot to mention that I checked out WonderCon in San Francisco on April. It was fun, packed and the Moscone Center sure is humongous. Not to mention the crowd’s vibes are way different from Anime conventions, but it still has serious cosplayers nonetheless.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica -anime
OMG when I got introduced to this anime during Fanime, I was hooked. It’s a wonderful story, really one of the animes worth watching. My Rating for it is:
Highschool of the Dead - anime
I love this anime! Zombies! Action! Romance! Fanservice! Gore! That’s why I volunteered to be a zombie for Fanime this year. Getting ghoulish make-up from Kicket Costumes, and minty flavored blood all over my face 8D. It was organized by Ratgirl Productions, who also introduced to me the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series from her Anime Marathon Sundays.
Tiger and Bunny - anime
Ahhh, this anime just recently finished, and I love it! you can catch it on Hulu if its still up there. Wonderful anime. Friendship! Silliness! Super Powers! Sponsors! Teamwork! Trust! A very fun anime.
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt - anime
Really really wacky anime. Very..perverse in terms of puns, images and effects. While Vulgar, its also quite comical and silly. It has a good mix of stupidity, oddness and insanity, to last probably until someone makes another wacky experimental anime.
Ragnarok Online – MMORPG
These past month or two RO has implemented the ‘Grampa Turnin Quest’. This quest basically sets a character into hunting 400 of 2-4 monsters in a single map, with quests ranging in mid levels to high levels. Every other week, they change the level tier to accommodate for those that couldn’t take the quest from the previous week. It has a cooldown of one day, and for VIP members of the game, they are give the opportunity to be immediately warped to the hunting grounds, and choose where to have their experience points from the quest to be on their job exp, base exp or both. I had fun playing with my other characters on it and I got my Knight into a transcendant Lord Knight in a couple of days, of course with the help of good friends online. (Thanks Sketch`)
The even it still on-going, and it is unknown when it will end. There was also a patch update which was Dewata. It has 2 dungeons and 2 fields and one city map. Gotta love the first dungeon, it drops a lot of coal, rough oridecons and eluniums.
Legendary Starfy, Kirby Mass Attack – Nintendo DS games
I finished playing Legendary Starfy, it was fun. Fun, innovative and silly platform games are always cool on my book. Speaking of which, the Kirby Mass Attack game I bought two weeks ago is the same genre, and its soooooo cute! It has mini games inside, and I’m already on the 3rd world. Almost there!
Sailor Moon Vol 1, Codename: Sailor V vol 1 – manga
OMG couldn’t believe they are reprinting Sailor Moon again! Will definitely watch out for it, and hopefully collect them all!
Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program
Sooo, Nintendo lowered the price for the 3DS so fast I heard there might be backlash for those who purchased their 3DS on its launch date. So I got the Ambassador Program, where I’m promised 20 free games. First 10 free games released last September 15, and the rest late this year. I’ve downloaded them all, and frankly, I don’t like some of them, but free games are free games. I did love Balloon Fight, that game has a lot of playability to it.
Steve Jobs Passing
I may not have personally known him, but if he’s the one who brought iPod to the world, then he’s worth mentioning. May you rest in peace.
Today’s Doodles
So, I want to my local library today out of boredome of just staying at home all day. I didn’t want to drive far, so I decided to stay local. And I checked out some manga, read a magazine and doodled a bit about anatomy, so here they are:
That’s all I recall for now. See you all later and keep smiling! ^_^

Well well well, first post of the year! I haven’t been posting a lot as of late ne?
I’m quite preoccupied with some stuff, Starcraft II was one. I’ve been enjoying it immensely, moreso with Multiplayer mode.
I’ve been sick all through the past week it seems. Terrible coughs, wheezes and snortings 
That’s all I could mention so far. I hope everyone’s enjoyed the New Year’s, there’s another month until the Chinese New Year comes around. Mmmm Mooncakes!
Until then, keep smiling.

Well well well, its been a while ne? I have almost begun to neglect my blog. But, I'm here now so lets get to business shall we? A quick summary of the crazy things i've been doing.
- Fanime 2009 was a total blast, it was my first time attenting Black and White ball, and I learned some dance steps to go with it. Too bad i'm not too used to slightly high heeled shoes, they hurt my feet soo much >w< And I learned basic self-defense for women, and loved the swap meet.
-BAAU seems to have acquired new members in the forums and has begun to become a more livelier place to hang out. If you live in the California Bay Area and loves to draw, come on in and talk with us in the forums! http://www.baau.org/forum/
-Para Para - My fascination in this japanese pop culture form of dance has flared up again, and I have been downloading lke crazy on any routine I can have a hold on. That goes for downloading eurobeat MP3's that I can find online.
-Little Brother - So, my little brother has left for the marines a couple of weeks ago, and I recieved his first letter to us. Apparently he's having a difficult time. I hope you hold out there li'l bro we're rooting for ya!
-Gaia Online - apparently I still need to finish one art request from a good friend. I am honestly lazy to work on it though :( ill prolly work on it this weekend perhaps? What of my aquarium fishies? erm like a handful of them already died... I really need to take care of them more.
-Youtube - I have been uploading videos I'ved recorded over the course of Fanime 2009, I've got halfway to go to finish uploading. Check them out at http://www.youtube.com/user/hokagenofujin/
- Video Games - I've acquired Pokemon Platinum amd The World Ends with You around last march. I've barely started ym journey in the Pokemon one, but for TWEWY,wow i'm terribly hooked, no wonder SquareEnix boasted a lot about it. A very very awesome game, even though I haven't finished it.
- Cleaned up- I've cleaned up some clutter in my room, since my bed is surrounded by comic books and manga, and I've managed to stack them neatly. I guess my next mission is to clean up my bookself, its messy too. I'm running out of space to place things~
-Free Comic Book Day was soo fun. Got myself finally a copy of Scott McCloud's 'Making a Comic' or something like that.
-Ragnarok Online - wow.. I've not been playing it over weekdays now, i've been playing them over weekends and usually only during WoE. And currently iRO's having an event, Happy Anniversary iRO Gravity!
- Drawing bursts - ever since the appearance of new members, it has envigored and inspired me to start drawing more often again. perhaps the arrival of competition has been spurred from the flickering fire withing my body and is now slowly burning bigger.
-Wisdom teeth - three weeks ago my lower left wisdom tooth has begun to push out, its terribly painful, and it seems my lower right has began to push out as well, because I feel itchy and it seems swelling has started :| good luck to me - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - pure adrenaline rush, very very nice.
That's it so far. I hope to hear from readers some comments one of these days. Until then keep smiling ^__^

What did you do?: erm...watched csi season 6 disc 4, ragnarok online, cg'ed some art,tried finishing elite beat agents.
well well well, more then a month has gone by and I almost forgot that I have my own blog.
Been very busy lately, and more stress being experienced over work. People seem to feel the large pinch of the so-called "economic crisis" America seems to be experiencing.
Honestly, i'm not feeling it financially, but then again, i don't pay a lot of bills, so I don't worry as much. Whoever's feeling the pinch now, please endure, we're all hoping it will eventually disappear, just keep yourself smiling, sacrifice a little bit of the things one enjoys to be able to save up a bit.
I've got a lot of things i've been needing to finish, i'm having a hard time with all of them.
Hopefully I get to finish them all. Also, i've recently regulary feed my fish in my Gaia Aquarium, because they're so cute.
A lot of things occured during February, and I couldn't post much during that time. I'll just list it.
- Dad got rushed to the hospital one early morning, couldn't do a thing because I can't drive the car w/o passing my driving license. Turns out he had gallstones, he had it taken off last week.
- Me, Dad and my brother checked out Reno and Tahoe around the first week of Feb.
- Eventually started going to the library at least once a week.
- Excited over Fanime all the time.
- Watched Coraline, The Watchmen, Paul Blart, The Knowing.
That's it for now, its pretty short but can't be helped. I'm tired.
Keep yourself smiling ^_^

Well well well, its been a while since I posted. Once again, A Belated Happy New Year to all. I have been pretty busy with work at the office during the holiday season, and I can finally breath a sigh of relief that it is over and done with and no longer in need of ranting about.
I've been doing a lot of stuffs lately, and I've almost forgotten that Fanime 2009 is almost here. I really really can't wait. I will have to do a lot of arrangements because of it. That means the BAUU Down 08 is almost on its due and deadline date for participating members. I'm afraid, this time I will not be submitting anything, so I would most likely be just helping out selling out comic books.
On to more news, I'm a year older and wiser now, and hopefully I've learned a lot of things form the year 2008. It was a very very memorable year. As for Christmas Gifts, I got one off my wishlist, I got a lightbox to work on! Now I can practice not only animation, but also make my linearts far more clean then they were before.
Ragnarok Online
As usually, my addiction to this amazing PC game never ends, as I finally Transcended my Hunter and turner her into a Sniper last Thursday. I am very happy with it, but It would have been more awesome if the color dye for Sniper remained the color Green. Oh well, you can't have everything ne?
Here's 2008 Screenshot Gallery
Dragon Ball: Origins
I've purchased a DS game from GameStop called Dragon Ball: Origins, and frankly for $19.99 its much more worth then it was priced at. The gameplay and story-menu-mode is set so you can always play the chapters you've passed thru again and again to acquire money, figures or special orbs that permit you to advance Son Goku's skills. The only thing I find annoying is that Bulma always gets ahead of you and often into trouble. You'll have to be up to your toes to keep up with her. The Graphics is well-rounded, and the comedy will crack you up so hard.
If you have a DS and you are a Dragon Ball series Fan, this is a must-buy for you.
My Rating:
Elite Beat Agents
I was browsing around GameStop when I found a used game of Elite Beat Agents. I knew it was a must-buy, so I bought it at around $16.99 and tried it out. True to what people rated it with, it is a fun, crazy and challenging game. It was very very different from other rhythm and music games like the Ontamarama I had. So yeah, believe what others say, that it's a rare game, I was lucky to have found it.
My Rating:

I gave Karu and Pie Arashi a month's worth of DA subscription for them doing a request for me, which is a pretty cute illustration.

Enjoy your subscription you two :3
Style School 3
Aiya! I finally got my hands of the continuation of the Style School Series. This one had a very very gorgeous cover. And as usual it had good tips and tricks for any aspiring manga/anime illustrator out there like me, from photoshop, to copics, to toning and inking, and it includes a lot of different illustrations from all over japan, which might be considered to be a good reference material, if ever you're searchin for a particular style to acquire influence from.
A must buy if you can afford 16$+TAX
So there you go, I really had a busy month. Until we meet again, keep smiling ^__^
