>_> Anyway. Now that I have a little time, I guess I'll talk about what actually happened with all my games and stuff. I had been keeping a journal since B said she wanted to hear about my trip, so I'll type that up when I get home. But for now~

I kept my DS games in this little ziplock bag and place it in a small black bag. I got the bag at Target, it was $1 and 75% off. >_>a They called it a "Feminine Hygiene" bag - but it's so small that you really can't fit anything in there... >_>; Maaaayyyyybbbbeee an eyeliner or two or something small. So I left the bag in the front seat pocket on the plane, even though I went through the pocket so many times before I left the plane. I get paranoid rather easily, so I have to look through it many times before I get off - thinking that I would leave something behind. And I really did this time... I think it's so small and black that it blended in with everything else in the pocket (and the light was dimmed), it might have gotten sandwiched between the few periodicals they had in the front pocket and I didn't realise it. So... Yeah... I left a bunch of games behind... And the ones I lost were: Harvest Moon (JUST STARTED THE GAME TOO!), Touch Detective (Bought it 2 days before my trip!), Ouendan (Xmas present from Silver last year), Band Brothers (Import), and Lost in Blue. The GBA stuff I lost were: Breath of Fire and Band Brothers Expansion cartidge. I think I'll have to go on a shopping spree as soon as I come back... ;____;

And because of that... I'm thinking of taking up a couple of small commissions to cover the cost. I know it's not for a noble cost or what ot... >_>a And technically, I do have the money for them - but my income goes toward bills and rent first, and I have to save up for a car. (Kind of hard to get to work without a car...) I don't know if anyone would be interested in it... But I probably will draft up an outline sometime soon and come up with prices or whatnot. It might be a little "expensive" since I will only use traditional medium - and I take a lot of time working on my drawings - from sketching to inking to colouring. So I'll write out an outline and think about it.. I probably will update more toward the end of the week. >>a

Anyway... Haven't seen many pretty people lately. >>a I know, I'm mean like that~ But I had been feeling awfully angsty lately... >>a

*runs around screaming* *falls* *thuds*

... DA killed all my header and footer because I didn't have a paid account for a while... ... ... Bum. ;_;

Anyway, I was going to have a real update, but I guess I didn't have the time to do it. In short...

ANYONE WHO WANTS A LITTLE CHRISTMAS CARD FROM ME - PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT THEN NOTE ME WITH YOUR ADDRESS.

The Xmas card is going to be a home made card with a picture drawn by me with my original character Chiko. Mind you, I don't do Xmas cards. I AM that lazy and I do have other reasons that I won't be sharing right here right now. So if you want to see my original work, or just want a card from me, please let me know. (And make sure your parents are okay with you with getting stuff from someone over the internet. By all means, I don't want to get you in trouble.) Even if you are my friend, please let me know if you want a card from me or not. (I have a feeling that this might even down grade to a postcard instead... >>a)

Anyway~ That's all~

I must apologise to anyone who requested a card. This had been an awfully busy week. I had to rush 2 reports during the past 3 days, I'll need to finalise one tomorrow, and get started on another project. So I had been busy-busy-busy-busy. I wanted to finish my drawing, but alas, I just didn't have the time to do it. Anyway, so if you haven't seen your card in the mail, that's why! There's a really big chance that you'll see it after Xmas... Consider it as a New Year card? XDa

Anyway, besides that... There's one greater thing on my mind right now... It's to... Team up with the NINJA and get her parents to let her go to ANorth next May. So. Right. Grugh. Wish us luck this weekend! DX

Next chapter:

Team Amused Ninja face the Crazy Chinese Parents! This is the greatest challenge they have yet face. Would they get reinforcement? Or do they have something up their sleeves? Or they might even have to come to some sort of... Great Compromise? Stay tune for the next chapter!

... ... ... *runs off~*

D8;;;;;; OH GOD! You guys are too much. T_T;;;; Thanks for the pageview and Aku's shameless pluggages. DX I don't really deserve it... (And you guys are just trying to make me draw more - JUST ADMIT IT!!!)

I guess I'll be drawing more then. XD;;; *started working on a 20K drawing* I have feeling that it'll be done before my 10K one. orz

Anyway, conventions! I'll be attending two conventions this year, Anime North and Ghetto Con Anime Next. The former takes place in Toronto, Kanadiana. (That's Canada for those who don't know how I speak...) The latter takes place in Secaucus, New Jersey. I'm just wondering how might be going to and who might want to meet with my group. More info on that later!

PS: ANext should be getting back to me about an artist table, I submitted my application really early, so I'm crossing my fingers that I would be getting one. They are pretty slow with their application, so I probably will find out in another month or two. orz

MEETING UP AT ANIME NORTH 07

So it's Anime North 07 this weekend in To Ron 2, Kanadialand. (Translates into: Toronto, Canada) I'm going to be there with =akureikarasu and bumming hotel room off of ~SilverWind9 and her sister + friend. I'm guessing everyone is more interested in meeting with the Aku Ninja than meeee, but since we're going to be like Siamese Twin that weekend, YOU ARE STUCK TO SEE ME TOO MUWAHAHAHA.

Anyway, how to meet and everything. I have no idea on what day I'll be shameless enough to cosplay, but if I do cosplay, I'm going to be going as Mia from Phoenix Wright. If there happened to be a million of Asian Mia roaming around, look for A VERY UNSEXY one who carries a PINK BUNNY BEAR AND BABY PENGUIN. (And the baby penguin usually lives inside the bunny bear's suit like this, except BB now has little pastel blue baby socks on.) Then it would be me.

There should also be a Phoenix Wright cosplay photo shoot. Unfortunately, I have NO IDEA when and where the shoot would be. I'll try to find out more information on it.

Otherwise, Aku and I are planning on hanging out for a little bit right outside of the convention centre on Friday night. Time is TBA as of now until we are able to work with the last details with our hostess. The meeting place would be CONGRESS SQUARE, which is right outside and beside the main entrance. You could download the floor plans of the site here.

If you absolutely CANNOT make it and would still like to meet with us, PLEASE NOTE ME. I really don't want to be giving out my phone number to everyone, so this should be the last resort - and that you absolutely want to meet us but will not be there on Friday night.

I believe this should wrap up the entry on meeting at Anime North this weekend. Just in case I missed anything, here's Aku's entry, just go over there for a quick read and see if I missed anything.

PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU WANT TO MEET WITH EITHER OF US. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CON AND MEETING YOU GUYS.

My life is currently rather disorganised. T_Ta And I'm really sorry to those who got their prints super late from me. Please let me know whether you got your order or not.

As of others who are still interested in them, please let me know. But I'll tell you right now that my life is in a funny transition, so it's going to take me sometime to get the prints out. I sincerely apologise for getting them out so late, but it's really hard getting to the post office when it opens after you get to work, and closes before you get out of work... T_T;;;v Thank you for understanding. Much love.

So. Er. Let's see... It had been a while since I last updated, huh? Let's see what happened recently...

I moved back in November, my new place was still a giant mess, boxes and things are everywhere. But it's very nice and I love it here. Once I clean it up and get some furniture in here, I'll be inviting close friends and people from work over... Probably over a BBQ (IF we ever get a grill) or something.

Work had been kind of crazy and hectic. It seems like work will never work, or all the clients want things done at the same time. But it's going well - and I'm just a horribly slow worker...

I visited the parents back in January... And had a surgery in February, on my mum's birthday. Since I'm like... The weakest person in my family, it was taking me a long time to recover - and I'm still recovering from it. My stay was extended (twice) due to an unexpected infection (which I'm going to spare all the glorious details)... *sighs*

Once I came back to the States (very late Feb, early March), back to work I go... And... Yeah. It had been work-work-work-rest-work-work-work... I did a few doodles here and there, but nothing for me to put up on DA. I plan on doing some more stuff, but first, I think I need to clean my room... T_T

Aside from that, I decided to clean up my gallery. Yes, about half of my gallery is gone - only a couple of things here and there are left. Why did I do that? The reason was because I really didn't think the crack stuff I did really reflected who I am as an artist. I'm not bothered by the silly and unusual style (on my end), but rather, the feelings/thoughts/planning that went into these drawings were almost non-existent. I didn't feel the connection between my works and me - and that's enough of a reason to take them down. With that being said - I *do* hopefully will get some new stuff up within the near future. Though I can't give you an exact date on when I might be uploading sketches and such.

This year, *cyanim and I are not running an artist table at Anime Next like we did last year. I won't repeat the reasonings behind it - but we probably will end up hanging out there. I still haven't decided if we want to do a 3 day thing, or just 1 day. Though I think we had a lot of fun just hanging out... And traumatizing small children and Jesus at the con with Gab... ... ... >>v Anime North is definitely out - aside from being BROKE, the exchange rate does NOT look good. Otakon on the other hand... I still haven't decided on it yet. *sighs* B - you're such a teaser! You should just come and visit *cyanim! Or you should come to Anime Next!

Anyway - I think I owe a couple people notes and stuff, give me a little more time and I'll get back to you as soon as I settle down - thanks~

MUWAHAHA
