I'm pretty sure I didn't win the Neo manga competition since in the forum, they've announced that they have notified all winners?
I'm eager for them to release the results and read their entries! HO HO HO!

I guess this means I can post a screen capture of when I was screentoning my manga hehe, I also decided I won't give self publishing a go~ I'll just upload it to my website for everyone to laugh at ~~!



Almost results day! Not that I'm worrying or anything~ it's just always at the back of my head? I don't know...
It's cold like Winter, I guess I need to get used to the depressing Winter weather that'll be approaching around the corner... /orz;;

Just came back from posting my NEO manga entry… I had to print it off first~ costing £2 (since the first copies were printed off wrong) I then went to the post office and sent it off by special delivery, so it’ll arrive tomorrow. It cost £4.60 for special delivery, so in total £6.60 was spent… T^T;;

Some reason when I printed of my entries, it looked so ugly! Not how it looks like on the computer~ I hope if it’s reduced to the size of authentic manga pages it’ll look better… /orz;;
I’m gonna work on my manga jiman entry asap to avoid doing it last minute… *Sweats*

Started to read, “You’re so cool”, it really is so cool and funny! I love how manwhas are character driven and how the characters have complicated sides to them that really make them seem human.

And some reason, I keep getting mistaken for an oriental foreigner [FOB] selling DVDs or a foreigner is general as they’ll speak their dialect… which… I don’t understand… o__o;

Helloo~~ seems like it’s been a while since I’ve updated! I’ve been occupied with many things! I’ve only just completed my Neo competition entry. *wipes sweats*

Even though I planned weeks ahead~ I slacked a lot and end up doing everything last minute again… I hope it’s up to a good standard!

I think I’m only going to enter the manga section and not the character art section… I’m not quite sure what they expect on the character art section~ Do they want a character design sheet or a CG featuring a character as focal point…? I feel quite sad that I'm not entering though~ but it can't be helped Plus, I rather produce a work that is finished and polished than a quick, rushed piece for the sake of it... /orz;;

I also watched WALL E last week~~ It’s so cute and lovable!! It’s definitely one of my favourite movies; I really like the petite cleaning robot, M0! I wish they’ll start manufacturing M0 alarm clocks; I’ll purchase one for sure! <3 *polishes him*
Presto, the short animation that is shown before WALL E, was just as good! The graphics were amazing~ and the bunny is just… so… edible in a cute way! <3


Sloppy fan art of Cooking MAMA! But my version *A*!! ahaha~

Woww~~ I haven’t updated in a while! I need to keep my blog alive since I’m not really active anywhere else ;w;
But onto the random update of news!!:

• In school, I dropped media studies, so I won’t be making a documentary and have more free time! But I left my partner to continue it by himself. But I really had to quit that class since I was doing a lot of the work myself and couldn’t take it anymore. I almost cried when talking to my teacher about leaving! Lol, I felt so bad… but now I feel kinda stupid = 3=;;
• I was accepted as an in-page graphic designer for my school magazine/year book, so I feel kinda happy to be part of it! Make lots of happy memories! Though it’ll take up some of my time…
• I also joined one of my classmates in designing t-shirts, but I’m not really sure what he wants/expects from me, so I have really started yet ;A;
• I didn’t make it to the October London expo, since I had work! But I dunno… some reason I don’t feel excited about it anymore, every time it’s the same~ so I already know what to expect? I didn’t even think about it until it was mentioned before! I “left/skipped” work around 12ish today, so I still had time to go, but I didn’t feel the urge to… and I didn’t need to cosplay with the others…so I had no reason to go? It’s weird…ahaha, maybe because I know I’ll spend A LOT on merchandise, especially if there are Totoro stuffs… I’ve lost my passion for conventions!! @A@;;

Yosh yosh, taking a break from some work to post old art and a short manga...! (from early last year/2006?) Anyways... looking back, there are so many mistakes! T^T;; please don't laugh... *cowers in corner* I don't think I've improved massively, but I still feel kinda happy *0*!!



( scary old art O_O!!  )

ahh~~ The one thing I learnt from making those pages were... too much tone work is not always good... unless you're a tone master *__*;;;;

[mood| gloomy]

[mood| worried]

I think my body is getting weaker! I’m getting ill more every year I think =__=;; maybe I’m just not taking proper care of myself, but it’s really annoying falling ill! Also~ I can’t tolerate hunger pains, it feels like my stomach is burning and hurts so much (Before it used to be nothing~) so I eat often and lots to prevent that. Not drinking enough leads to head aches, but that’s normal in everyone! ^__^ hehe so I’m glad!

I don’t think I’ve shown this to anyone, but this was done last year (2006) and is really incomplete! Lol, I only remembered about it yesterday. It’s a non existent manga to let the audience understand Kiyoki’s personality~ But I’m not going to work on Kiyoki anymore, I think Pirry is a new version of her~ she got replaced by a younger model X3;;

Just came back from school, I’m so pooped!
    This morning, I had a media mock exam to analyze a film sequence, I’m not sure how well I did, though I wished I had more time because I kinda rushed in the last 20 minutes…I also had this oral presentation for Religious studies, thank god my tutor wasn’t in, so I got to go home early and skip my presentation… until next week…! ^_^;; I’m really scared about it as last time I had to do an oral exam, I started crying… lol, not sure why… but I was pretty annoyed at myself ^_^;; *slaps self*

    On the way home, a friend and I got on the bus and this lady in front of us wanted to push her pram into the bus. The bus driver denied her as he already had another two prams in the bus. So she started to fold her pram and held her daughter’s hand, I felt really bad for her, because it was so cold outside.
A huge argument started and it was so serious, the bus driver refused to start the bus and everyone ran to the next bus when I came! ^_^;; The lady stayed on the bus and the driver started driving, even though he was reluctant, he was still shouting and complaining to her, luckily there was a man to stop the violence… O_O;; but yesh… he was saying something about it was against health and safety and wouldn’t let it go, yet he was arguing, not looking on the road while driving! O_O!! lol, we was really scared… finally we got off, only to see another two prams trying to get on the bus, even though there was one already inside… it’s obvious how things will turn out T^T;;

    Last night I watched “The cat returns” by Ghibli, I love it so much, it’s really cute and a sweet story about believing in yourself with lots of cats. Toto and Muta are my favourite characters as they had such a cute relationship! <3 The bodyguards cats in the blacks fur suits were ultra cool too! Lol!
I read this one-shot manwha called, “The dress”, it’s so dark and the storyline is basic but surprisingly good, I recommend it! ^_^ Also, please read another one-shot called DUDS HUNT! It’s currently my favourite manga and KBOY is super love~! <3 it’s quite like the manga called, Natsunokumo… but but… has that special element to it… I adore one-shots so much, it’s just amazing how a short story can have so much impact rather than a long series… *w* <3

    Umm… still got loads of manga and new anime to watch… I have to make time for it, it seems like i haven't got much time to do anything laterly, everything is a rush 24/7... ;__; like right now I should be doing work, but I'm dawdling along, blogging to avoid it... ^0^;; *slaps self again*
It’s kinda quiet at home as my sister is in Manchester… it’s a little weird…


[mood| full]

Wah! YUI has a movie called Midnight sun (Taiyo no uta) I never knew!! I only watched her video for “goodbye days” and I realized best of all, it has Takashi Tsukamoto in it! He was always my favourite battle royal-er! Hehe it’s supposed to be a super good romance movie! ^_^ but then again I need to still watch death note movie and the full metal alchemist movie… I’m too lazy to watch~
The other morning my sister helped a super nice blind man find the bus stop, he got lost in the subway and was so helpless… even though my sister risked being late from work and being slaughtered by her boss, she still helped him. She even waited for the bus to come, held his hand and all to guide him, even though she didn’t know where she was going! I was worried about if he knew what stop to get off, but my sister said not to worry as the bus driver seemed nice! ^_^ ahh~ I’ve always looked up to my sister since I was little, so this was super cool! I don’t think I could of helped him because I would be too scared of getting him more lost and talking to him, but I’m so proud of her~ ;__;!!
I’ve caught up in Hot gimmick the other nighttttttttt~~ OMG SHINOGU!!! You can feel it almost ending, I feel so sad, but I hope Shinogu will arrive on time, Ryoki really scares me, he gets too angry easily... T^T;; Though I know a lot of fan girls like him… I have to admit he is a little sweet…I hope Hatsumi picks Shinogu~ ;__; realize you love him damn nabbit! And not as a brother tooo!!! ;0;!! But I wonder what will happen to Azusa…he’s been alone for so long now…

[currently doing| Graphics project… ^_^;; so long! ]

It’s been a while hasn’t it? Hehe, hmm...tis is a minor journal update to know what happened to me whilst my absence, no art! s o r r y !!!! (´△｀;;)a
In some ways a lot has happened since the London expo, school is overwhelming as usual and I’m really not liking it there... I think I expected too much/too much is expected from me, as it’s supposed to be one of the top schools in London…yet, I’m not really sure. But then again I’m only here for two years to get my grades, so I’m gonna tough it out! >_<;; GRRRRRRrrrrRRR!! *chews heads off*
though at times it’s difficult, such as… the other morning! I came to school early, carrying three A3 folders with my sketchbooks inside and twas so heavy! I finally came to the graphics classroom to drop off my folders and the teacher locked the door in my face… ^_^;; I actually thought she was going to help me open the door…ahh~ the teachers speak to you as though you have no brain, I feel so offended >_<;; when asked questions they ramble about something unrelated, causing me to be more confused... so I resort to self studying! （;; = o=）=3

Hum~ my toe is recovering! It only started to form a scab yesterday? And I had to pick off the remaining hard skin/fleshy bits that where hanging off… ^_^ twas… fun!
