Ive been working all week long on cosplay and the guitar @_@ I cant feel my figures T_T but wow, i didnt know i could get so much done in such a short about of time hehe. I finish fixing my ichigo costume, repairing my tidus costume, and finished making the belt for ryu. Im currently working on my enternal sonata. So much stuff @_@. Im also trying to learn how to use make up (Thank god for youtube. *0*). Man it feel like yesterday since pmx was here. now ala is up next. i Hope i saved enough money to go to fanime.

Oh, yea i learned something very important. I was working with my dad on some electrical wires and i sorta put one of the wires in my mouth to hold on to. Since, my hands were occupid and it was all in the moment i completely forgot what i was biting on to; I end ups shocking myself really bad. hahah it was a good thing the power was just turned off or else i would of bitten off more then i could chew. For the next few hours i could only taste copper. it was pretty funny and stupid hahah. oh boy good times.

I didn't lie, this is related to art, lol... right? I just wanted to take a break from 'work' to let everybody know.. Shin Tenipuri vol. 2 just came out!! We added a number of pages to the story (in the middle of things, not at the end), so it fills in some of the parts that people were the most curious about! I really, really recommend it!! (Plus, the art looks much better in the books than the magazine!)

Pair Puri vol. 3 also just came out... I can't wait for vol. 4, because the special manga that we did for Nioh is so hilarious! Well, at least I thought so.. maybe it was just me XP

Can you believe that this ----------->
is the culmination of over a year's worth of work? We started actual manga production a year ago last December, although there were several months of design and preparations including taking pictures on location, etc etc. (The training camp is based loosely on real place(s), though I guess that goes without saying?)

Which reminds me.. did I ever post about JUMP Festa? If not, then I'll get to it sometime in the near future (hopefully!). Today is for drawing and practicing for Pop'n Press. Working on new lj design! (and webspace too!) I have faith that I will get it up by tonight!! (Wish me luck! To be honest my coding totally sucks so I might flub a bit)

Alright, back to work!

Right after I made my last post, I headed out to Roppongi for a training meeting. The director and producer for Pop'n Press are so nice, giving me a lot of feedback and training. (Of course this means that I'm not very good yet, so it's a double-edged sword), but I am very grateful for their help. We really want our program to get into prime time broadcasting one day! I will do my best!

After that, though... yesterday I went to the dentist. No worries there, I was just supposed to get a cap on one tooth. But therein lies the problem.... the dentist was closed for two weeks because of the holidays, and during that time, the same tooth started hurting a bit here and there. It turns out that I have an infection!! I even floss, but it never seems to do me any good. So, instead of getting a cap, I was drilled into and put on antibiotics.... and it involved more pain than anything I have felt in my entire life!! So much pain all night that I went to an emergency dentist in the middle of the night, sure that something was wrong! It turns out that this is one of the most painful kind of infections in the whole body, and it should lessen up considerably, but there was nothing they could do beside medicate it and wait for it to heal.

OMG I wanted to gouge out my tooth with an ice pick!!!!!! OW!

I did sleep on and off during the night, but even though the pain today was only about 10% of yesterday's, it is still just barely manageable. I have been studying my script and sleeping or eating most of the day, and from now I'm going to go ahead and get back to drawing.. as long as the pain doesn't come back!

I kinda just want to sleep, but it's honestly hard to sleep. T-T

My next post will be related to art! Promise! (Yay! It's about time!?)

Moving my blog over to tumblr lol not like i blog that often but yea =DDD

kiraigo.tumblr.com if u wanna follow =)

      for the past 2 weeks since break started, i have been reading fanfictions 24/7 excluding the time i'm out of the house. put me in front of a computer and i'm reading until my eyes go blind. maybe that's why i have this dizzy feeling right now. for 3 days in a row, i've been reading until 4 AM. x.x kill me now. i probably read up  about 50 fanfictions in this timespan when each story is like, 20+ chapter each that are like 10 pages long each----> i don't sleep until i finish a whole story by whatever time feels "late" to still be up xD....AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO FINISH! 

       break time from school is evil...it feels like i'm doing nothing with my life right now...NO LIFE AT ALL. how sad...now i really can't wait for anime la...i'll be out of the house for a whole weekend :D i am such a bookworm -_____-" if i don't have a book in my hands, i'll be reading fanfiction or ebooks online :[ i need to go out more...or getting a job would help if that was an easy thing to do! >:O

Happy New Year!
あけおめ！

Well, this is a little bit late, isn't it! ( Read more... )

Passion. Passion, passion passion! That is what 2010 is going to be about for me! Passion in love (I hope!), work (YES!), life, and everything else! ( Read more... )

Well, I guess that I'd like to start out the new year by making some resolutions!

☆ Make a lot of new friends!
★ Bring some close friends to visit me in Japan.
☆ Find at least one love (whether it works out or not!)
★ Buy a new dSLR camera
☆ Make my pro mangaka debut!
★ Start writing a book
☆ Tone up my body so that I feel totally comfortable in a bikini!
★ Get back into Capoeira
☆ Go to Thailand (several reasons, will tell why after I come back!)
★ Skyrocket my japanese level!
☆ Go canyoning (finally!)
★ Post in my lj more (I will!)
I think that's enough! Of course there are a lot of more things that I want to do, but first and foremost I am putting my career on high!

And you? Anyone share some of the same resolutions as me?

Wow, cant believe its already here. It was so weird when 2009 came around. What makes this new years so interesting is the blue moon which only happens every 19 years. I took a picture of it but it end up looking like a disco ball. So for new years eve ive been pretty much hanging around with the family and one of my sister's friends name Pano Pan (no joke). he is a pretty interesting dude he just came back from the navy for a little while so we all took him around and what not. We all end up spending new years at downtown Disney to watch the fireworks. It was omg crowded, but it was fun..



I know, its a little long, but i also wanted to show this to my cousins. heheh After Disneyland we all went home and play this game called call of duty modern warfare, while just chatting about the navy and what not. THen we all went to bed. Tomorrow morning he has to go back to Chicago so were all going to see him off. that ends new years eve.

I know its late, but well, good bye 09 its time to focus on you 2010.

It's actually kind of funny... I consider Full Moon wo Sagashite one of the best shoujo animes ever made (certainly in the top ten and my personal top five), and I completely worship the author, Arina Tanemura. She has GORGEOUS art these days, even if her stories are not all that, Fullmoon aside. (As anyone reading Sakura-hime Kaden will know) But even with all that, I have never read the manga. I guess because when the anime came out, there was no english version of the manga available (there is now) and I couldn't read japanese. So the other day, I found the entire series in a used bookstore for 800 yen.. and of course I had to pick it up!

I've only just barely started (read vol 1 this morning, but have to stop there because there is just too much to do), but I remember now why I loved the anime so much. The manga is stunning, and honestly one of the reasons that I want to work for Shueisha so badly, and be published in Ribon, is that I could therefore be her (friendly) rival. I just adore her artwork so much!! I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, but Tanemura-sensei, here I come!!

Anybody who hasn't seen/read Fullmoon, I highly recommend it! I cried so hard at the end of the anime... seriously bawled! I hope I feel the same at the end of the manga, when I finish. ^^

I have this very weird feeling that has been bugging me all afternoon to now. I dont know what it is. it just keeps on pounding and pounding and it wont go away. What is going on. Its not a very good feeling. im hoping this will make it go away. Its coming from the chest area. I know i didnt eat anything strange. I just wish i knew whats happening. I feel so lost everything is beating one step ahead of me. its driving me nuts. i think im missing something. I dont know though. everything seems to be a little darker then they were before.
Is something going to happen? I keep have weird feelings and thoughts that something is coming, and i dont know what to do. I dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing. i feel so alone on this part. i thought i could handle it on my own, but i think i bite off more then i can chew. I feel divide. i feel incomplete. I dont know what to do. it keeps beating

なんちゃって(nanchatte)="just kidding," "oops, hehe," etc..

That's why I had to try this Nanchatte cola! It looks like a bottle of tabasco sauce (which I don't like anyways.. I can't stand vinegar), but it tastes like... I'm not sure, but a little bit like peppers mixed with chemicals mixed with soda water. In other words, like complete crap, lol. Not highly recommended, but just another example of the strange things that appear randomly in Japan. LOL

In other news, I saw Avatar yesterday with a friend... OMG I am totally in love! Love love love! I want to go live on Pandora too and learn the ways of the Na'vi. Neytiri is my hero <3

I have a long day ahead of me. I hope this turns out alright. Well, lets see for the past few days ive been reading this book called The inferno Dante Alighieri. this book is pretty crazy book; its about a poet that goes to the 9 layers of hell to get to heaven, so far its pretty good. Ive also been practicing on my guitar and im going to show you guys this song ive been working on. Here it goes...





I remember this song was really popular in the Philippines. lol at first i was like "this isnt english or tagalog. Then later on i heard this song again and my uncles and cousins started singing and dancing to it rofl. It cracked me up each time. I feel like listening to it again.

Are they still selling store-bought eggnog on-base? I've been craving some soooooooooooooo badly..

Is there anyone willing to take me shopping there on Monday or so? So many yummies that I want to buy and take home...

This post has been looooooooooooong overdue, I know! Somehow with work overwhelming me and unwinding from said work needing to be done, I just could never find the time to post on livejournal. I've been BUSY!! Really, really busy!! It might be hard to believe, but I've actually seen tons of friends and done a lot of interesting things when I could spare a bit of time! (Basically, this means that I have basically not been home, except the occasional night and rare early morning for the last two months!! o.o!)

However, from now until the end of the year............. FREEDOM!!!! Okay, I have various things planned here and there, and I need to do a ton of writing for both current and new writing jobs (which I LOVE!), but most important.... I need to work on my manga! (And my projects!!) The first step in my plan is to revamp my livejournal and move everything over to my new webspace (the old one is finally expiring. This will include the FAQ and a new layout among other things. WIP!). Second step is to make a new webpage! Third step is to get that webcomic set up! Fourth step (before the end of the year) is to finally finish the prints! Fifth step is to finish my prints v.1!! I am SO excited!!! I am also going to dig out and finish some other projects from the boonies. And I may have a New Years party, but not sure on that one yet.. Other projects (including make-apartment-awesome!! projects) exist as well, but they're just for whenever I can fit them in..

ANYWAYS!! I have been BUSY. Anybody want to see some pictures?? ( Here are 45 of them! Everything from JUMP Festa to parties to food to weird japanese things! )

That link is also full of rambling about my life these days... lol!

I still need suggestions for my FAQ! Anybody who wants to ask something, please head over here!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!! XD I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER TODAY!!!!
