I'm still alive!
Today's Wish: good rest
Current Music on the Head: Charai Rai rai by DJ Charao
Food in thought: fried tofu
What did you do?: greeted dad a happy birthday, went to work, had the annual 4th of july bbq, and back to work again.
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 ^__^

busy lately...
Today's Wish: good rest
Current Music on the Head: kokoro no odoru
Food in thought: spaghetti
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 ^_^

Today's Wish: We enjoy the holiday season :)
Current Music on the Head:
Food in thought: Sushi <3>
What did you do?: ate out with friends and family, watched bolt and twilight
Well well well, Its been a while!!
I've not been on for a while, been pretty busy with work, but since its after the Black Friday sales, I an breath a short sigh of relief. I have been experimenting and practicing the art of using Deleter Neopiko markers, and I'm improving slowly..I think.
Anyways tomorrow's my birthday! that's why I brought my family and friends out to eat :D
I had fun chatting away, while eating all the Chinese food I wanted. After that we went out to watch Pixar's Bolt, and Twilight :)
Madagascar: Escape to Africa
Aiyaya, its a heartwarming story. I loved it! I find it much more zanier and more story-plotted then the first one.
Bolt
Bolt is an awesome action-comedy movie. But overall its surrounding theme over friendship and loyalty. Worth of getting a DVD of it.
Twilight
I don't understand why its rating is a 2-star in its reviews, but for me, it worthy of a 4-star rating out of 5, because its romance-centered, and the camera panning and atmosphere was well-chosen, and the effects aren't too shabby either. And the theme seems to be very good for teens :)
Pokemon Ranger:Shadows of Almia
Ne ne, I bought this game with high hopes, it was too easy. However, I liked the fact that I get a Manaphy Egg and a Roilu for my DS, but with the downside of it needing 2 DSes, You need a very good friend to help you out with the trading part. Anyways, plotwise, the story can be easily half-guessed, if you've been used to some other pokemon games. but this one is a great way to distract kids because it was time-consuming.
Final Fantasy III
I finally was able to buy the 20$ Final Fantasy game. I was hoping it was like Final Fantasy V, because that I loved the most out of all FF games I've played (I've played okay? I've never played FFVI and up got that?) This one, since it is a different story, has the usual Final Fantasy-ish story plot, but the gameplay is similar ti FFV, except to the fact that you have a limit to your magic slots, not like FFV where you can collect all the spells available and any character can use it. Here you have to switch with each other character's spells, because they have different skills due to small spell slot space, and you usually end up painstakingly removing spells or exchanging with your other character's spells. It does get frustrating. Oh and don't forget the usual monster grinding just to level up so you can beat the boss.
That's all for now, however since the Holiday Season has begun, I wish all to enjoy their Holidays. Baibai!!

A New Harvest
Today's Wish: More sleep and rest
Current Music on the Head:
Food in thought:burger and onion rings
What did you do?: hungry, but inspired by good music
Well well well, its another installment of my blog. There hasn't been much eventful things in my life currently, aside from hanging out in my new friends place and party hangouts.
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness
I bought myself a new game from Gamestop and I know very well this game will be worth it. This game also commemorates Natsume's 10th Anniversary for the Harvest Moon Series.
Seriously, this game is far more challenging then the other HM games I've encounters in the GBA. The time passes faster then usual, some requirements should be met, its easy to earn money, but not the lumber to upgrades :( but In just 6 days i've been playing, the game indicates that I've already achieved 45% of the game.
~~~~~~~
And in addition not finishing this entry my Harvest Moon IoH is currently at 70% in completion :)
Ragnarok Online
Nothing much has occured in the game except that they added a new feature in testing. Clothing Dye, each job class only has one color clothing dye. But honestly some were not so tasteful shall we say. Here are some pics
Seriously, they gave me a nice clothing dye for hunters :) we'd almost completely camouflaged ourselves with the color.
The Tech Museum
So like two weeks ago, I checked out the Tech Museum, and it wasnt that expensive for an Adult Pass, but yeah there were a lot of things that one hour can't do. However, I did have fun with the earthquake simulator, and it also turns out your ticket is interactive! so hold onto it and view your experience later online at their website.
In with the old Out with the new
I got myself a new phone, since my old one's really, and i'm serious using this word, disintegrating. I don't know but, but I bet its just a few years too old. 4-5 years to be exact. So yeah I purchased a Nokia 5320 unlocked, so I can go around the world and not have network problems :D
This new phone's awesome, good audio, the buttons are slippery, and it looks a little more fragile then my old one, so I really need to be careful with this one.
Warning: Don't buy from Overseas Electronics
So yeah, I went to this website to purchase my phone. And in the shipping out section, I had a choice of paying 25$ more to have my item delivered in 2 days flat. It sounded good, so I paid. My new phone came a week after, the gits. They said I only paid for ground shipping...right...whatever. Anyways I went on the web and check this company's reputation, and it seems it has a fair deal of problems, shipping wrong items, no returns, no exchange, communication problems, shipping prices not specified and so on and so forth, you can check the list of reported problems when dealing with this companty at the better business bureau online and see their 3-4 page list of stuffs.
Tropic Thunder
I watched Tropic Thunder the other week with friends and it was serioiusly hilarious and action-packed. Its a must-see recommendation, with lots of side-jokes about other movies and awesome cameos of certain stars.
My Rating:
Style School 2
I've treated myself in buying myself another manga/anime making related book. And This is the one I'm going to review. It's slightly more expensive then the first one I bought from borders. It has 20% tutorials and the remaining galleries and galleries of different artists, I find it pretty nice. This volume discusses about drawing the human anatomy anime-style, also needs to be slightly correct so it has some drawing references of anime-style anatomy. How to make awesome background by Emperialboy, how a certain artist use Copic Markers, Color Inks, and Photoshop. Very useful and pretty inspiring. You should check it out.
An old friend
I had a chance to chat with an old friend named Naomi. And we talked about stuffs. So yeah I'm plugging for her for this post :D
Her DeviantArt Account
her Multiply Account
Oh and yeah my desk's a cluttered mess. I really should fix it :P
...
but I don't care
See you all later and keep smiling!!!

GolfLand Again, and Life
Today's Wish: That we all learn to value life.
Current Music on the Head:
Food in thought: Almond Rocky Road Ice Cream
What did you do?: Library, Ate at Bento,played the RO Stonecutter quests-currently on the Veins Quest, Played further on Final Fantasy Tactics A2
Well well well, it wasn't much of a busy week, however, I am noticing that I seriously am finishing my work in the office later then usual. It is tiring, but work is work, can't be helped, especially if you're send off stuff for the newspaper.
I'll be just ticking off the eventful going ons during last week. So sit back, relax and don't hurry reading, I'm not forcing you to read everything :)
Eri Kawai Passes Away
Source
It is very sad to discover, that one of your favorite Anime singers has gone on to the other side. She was very young too, and made a handful of memorable music to remember her by.
To be honest, she is one of the best to produce music for opening and ending songs, she's the first best and Maaya Sakamoto is my second best choice. I like her because of her beautiful, clear, angelic voice.

Ragnarok Online
It seems that they have a new quest this week, and I find it very educational to discover more of Rune-Midgard's History. I've started the Stonecutter's Quest, where I will visit cities that contain an age-old statue cut out of stone in honor of gods/goddesses. Currently, I'm attempting to finsh the fourth part of the quest, the Veins statue of the Goddess Freyja situated in the Temple.
Also, it made me gain a little base exp while enjoying the hunt for the offerings for the Gods/Goddesses. Pretty convenient, and I don't need to worry much :)
Swing Vote
Wooh! this movie was awesome. I watched it with dad on a Thursday night, and it was very very comical. But yeah, it had a lot of lessons for all the participants in the story.
I give this, a 4 stars :D
GolfLand Again
Meh, Friday night me and some friends visited another friends place, and then we left as well. Nothing much productive, so we agreed to go to golfland again and have fun. That's it. It was very tiring though afterward.

Until next time, see you and keep smiling :D

It's Been A While
Today's Wish: That we all had a good time during July the 4th
Current Music on the Head:

What did you do?:Today? Hmm... Got some more festival tickets from RO and then played FFTA2 more, Did some emergency quick laundry at the coin laundry and played some more FFTA2
Hello Hello!!! Its been a while!! Its been around 2 weeks and it seemed that I've already forgotten my blog. Honestly, I am forgetful at times :3 But no worries! I'm here to update you all on what I've been doing with my life :)
Santa Cruz Beach
A week after my youngest brother's graduation, a friend of mine proposed that me and my other friends head for the beach. We had a good time, and there were also some bad times. I have learned a very important lesson: Bring durable slippers because the sand is scorching hot during midday. My slippers broke down, and one of my friends offered his slippers on the way back. Man, did it really scorch him >.<
Movies:
Recently I've been watching a handful of movies lately that I need to really remember hard what i've watched. So here goes...
- Kung-Fu Panda - The animation was very smooth and comical. Storyline is very solid and the beginning starts in a slow crawl but nothing that came from there was left behind at the end.
- Wanted - Awesome effects, the storyline is light and can be related to other 'life stories' but very graphic when it comes to sex scenes as well as the violence scenes. Better watch this at matinée price and not good for kids.
- Hancock- Good Story, very humorous and heartwarming, and a happy ending :D
Wooot!! I've acquired a new game and its the best one I consider among all other DS games I currently posses 8D As expected this game had a lot to offer for me. Fun, diversity of new jobs and races, made even harder to play even at normal mode and more. Took me a while to finally be able to dispatch decent clan members for a quest and many more. I couldn't take my hand off my DS even up till now, I had to wrench myself off from it to remember to update this blog XD. Best Strategy RPG around for the DS.
Ragnarok Online
I've been aware that the Hugel Festival has been around for the last two weeks due to iRO's Anniversary Celebration, however I only tried acquiring tickets for base exp just last friday because I was free from work (I finished early <3>
As for War of Emperium, it has been recently been frustrating that the Under the Moonlight Guild of Loki has been juggling duties to support fellow Allianced Guilds or to go hunt a castle for our own. As surprising as it was I was the one responsible in securing the position of the Castle Guardians to be at the Entrance at all possible time. Really frustrating when lag strikes in and you die in one blow.
Sketches
I've been doing a handful of sketches as of late out of boredom while fulfilling my daily duties. Some were awesome and some were scribbles and I'm too lazy to color them digitally or even scan them through my old scanner. Maybe one of these days you'll be able to see them in my DeviantArt Gallery.
For now I'm pretty much occupied playing Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Until then people of the world. Take care and hear from you next time :D

Fanime 2008
I am soo happy I've attended Fanime 2008. It has been a relieving experience. The only one i'll experience until next year.

Fanime 2008 Pictures
*sigh* I wish it was all week, but we all know we'd be out of ideas, and money by then TAT
Okay some Highlights to tick off:
- I saw old and new faces, really good to see people again, even though you don't personally know their names, where they're from, and what they're up to. It feels like an awesome method of uniting people of similar interests.
- Me and my bro cosplayed for the first time. I went as a Ragnarok Online Ninja while my bro went as Red-Haired Shanks from One-Piece. Quite and experience i'll never forget to remember to keep your props secure or you'll lose them as soon as you leave the elevator of your Hotel room.
- I discovered that the Swap Meet is the best place to get bargains. I was able to at least touch the Legendary Poring Mouse. I couldn't buy it because the owner was selling it for $100 TAT. One can also haggle prices, or it seems. I was able to haggle down Vol 1 and Vol 2 of Ragnarok Manhwa from 3$ each to 1$ each <3>
- Karaoke room is awesome as usual. I heard people's different voices, whether it be just seconds late of lyrics or totally out of tune, it just feels so right to vent out your feelings into the song and release all the pressures of the world one has been holding onto for a year with songs.
- I finally got to play with some people on my DS it was totally fun. Speaking of DS Games, the Dealers room had Japanese import games OMG I was sooooooooooooooooo happy, I didn't need to pay for the shipping fee <3<3>,<>
- The Gaming Rooom, Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~~~!!! its the best!!! All the arcade games you can play all weekend nights looong!!! And the Console Gaming Center was more organized then last year, soo much better <3<3<3>
- I finally got to meet the rest of the BAAU gang!! (BAY AREA ARTISTS UNITE) quite an experience to discover people from different lifestyles and own personalities. I was a little shy, but it all went alright. I tried helping sell our BAAU Down 7 debut manga :D Someone please buy our manga ^^ we still have around 300 copies more and also more of the previous issues. We were able to sell more then a hundred issues at the Artists Alley. We also had dinner at this Indian Resto called Tandoori, and since we got short of tables inside, we ate outside in the view of how San Jose evening Nightlife looks like. We also went up to the BAAU hotel room and talk about stuffs and more sales strategies. Quite an enchanted evening I had.
- Anime Video Rooms, you gotta love them, was able to watch a couple of my fave animes, like Detective Conan, and Hellsing Ultimate, and glimpses of Dragon Ball Z, Rise of Broly, and Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust.
- Panels are as encouraging as ever, amusing as well. I didn't imagine that Jonathan Osborne's "Who's Line Is It?" Panel could be so hilarious plus the fact that it had audience participation and with Ebner leading the crowd (Vote for Ebner for next con President!!)
- Photos Photos Photos!!! can't have enough of it but It can't be helped if we ran out batteries and memory, we knew such things would come, but it still came even if we were prepared *sigh*
- Best stay ever at the San Jose Hilton Hotel, they made sure they clean our rooms every time we leave <3<3<3>
- The cosplay gathering were sooo fun!!! but more fun was the appearance of Protestors. For some reason they just appeared in the front of the Convention Center with placards saying "Turn to Jesus or Burn in Hell" and other things. Either they mistook this Fanime Convention as some sort of Religious Congregations, or they just believe that Anime Fans are heretics to the Christian Religion. Either way, it is not something i'd like to force people to just change immediately and become instant Saints. They brought Evangelism to new heights, that they did, but it is sad to hear they think liking anime is a sin in itself. Anyways I heard the Jesus cosplayer came out during the incident due to the clamor of the anime crowd and went before these protestors and had fun taking pictures with them. Quite an amazing feat from what i've seen in the videos on Youtube.
*sigh* I wait next year's Fanime ^__^ Until then keep smiling.
