yoho hoho... yo hoho ho...~~
yoho..! one piece's brook's song started singing in my head for some reason.. XD
yah minna..~! hope everyone's doing well.. 
i dunno what to say ahahah.... i have lots to say but anyway, im excited to go to class tomorrow..~! though my schedule is pretty much the same as my summer, i'll have a hard time updating coz i dont have a scanner.. *will add that on my list once i get extra allowance* XD
well.. no problem.. thats ok.... i guess.... u really wont be seeing my stuff for a while.. but i do have some old stuff scanned from long ago... and maybe it's time to finish those unfinished ones.. *that have been scanned* XD
but still, my schedule is tighter and i have math... why do people think i love math.. o_O?! math is ok but it's never in my likeable subjects.. *never* XD
oh well.. living here in toronto by myself.. im trying to get used to it.. i've been to downtown and other places but it's hard to take pictures.. maybe next time when im not alone.. XD
eh.. err.. i'll make things shorter... my internet is on and off.. my connection is not stable.. i'll just reply and comment to ur stuff whenever im at school.. they should have better connection there than here in my apartment.. XD
ah yes.. im staying in an apartment.. it's much closer at school than the houses the school offered.. and at least i wont have to deal with roommates and whatnot.. plus the view is awesome...! especially at night.. im sleeping under the moonlight and some stars.. i'll take a picture next time.. *likes sharing pics* 
oh well anyway.. the picture for this post.. crab for dinner..
aah.. poor crabs... >v<" no wonder i havent ate this for a long time... i dont like eating crabs coz it's so troublesome.. XD it's so hard to eat.. why make eating so hard as their shells..?! XD but i love crabs only if it's ready to eat.. *spoiled* XD
well then.. off to eat.. take care guys.. ciao..~~
ps.. i was gonna upload a clip of my previous project *the one page comic strip* but my connection is terrible.. maybe tomorrow after school..
maybe.....
i'll leave the internet for a while... just until i get a hold of my new life in my new city.. im not sure if i can get internet soon either and there wont be a scanner in my place.. my only hope is at the school library.. i think.. *read previous post for further explanation of my current situation* XD
to my commissioners.. my sincere apologies.. 
though most are still in the discussion phase, i should've scanned the progress of some and showed it to them.. now my paper works are taped in the box, i cant do anything with it until i find a scanner in toronto.. XD i owe them their expectation... =/ i hope they can wait since i have the rough draft ready.. though i wont force them coz im not really sure when i can resume.. they can withdraw if they want since they havent paid me yet.. and i wont charge them anything for my crappy sketches.. XD
for the comments and messages i got in here, thanks always.. especially for the cheers, for sharing ur probs, for hearing out my probs.. lol.. and im sorry.. the replies might take a while.... longer than the usual.. >x<"
and thanks so much for all those hugs.. kyaah..~~ i reached 10,000 hugs.. i dunno how many comments and favs i have overall but thank u so much.. seeing that much hugs means a lot to me.. i really appreciate it.. *10,000 sec hugs* also.. to the 300 subs.. *blowkiss* some of u i know from before, from yesterday, even some who were in and out.. and some real life buddies.. i'll miss u all.. though i only know a few.. eheheh.. XD ah yes.. it might go down again like always but seeing 300 today at least before i leave makes me happy.. *^^*
eeh anyway.. i just finished packing my stuff.. laptop's next.. so i guess this is goodbye.. for a while... i hope to get back soon.. ciao..~~

school school..~~~
it's official.. i'll be transferring to Toronto this year..... my flight is on sept. 29.. my class starts on oct. 5... kyaaah..! im so excited..!!
i dunno much about this school--Academy of Design.. i was just recommended by my previous teacher and i just went with the flow not knowing how much it'll cost me... ugh.. but i guess it's worth it coz they have 2 undergrads this year thats already working at ubisoft.. i cant believe i might have a chance to work on those famous game production companies like EA canada, capcom, ubisoft, rock star, etc... this school is supported by these and other companies so it seems like a very promising school... *^^*
i figured this course--video game design and development--is most likely the career im hoping for.. i've been drawing characters all my life so my parents dont mind if i transfer somewhere away from home as long as there's a bright future after that.. im so happy they're so positive.. heheh..
lol... well good bye painting and good bye contemporary art school.. geee... i wasted soooo much time on that university.. errr..
i've been trying to pack my stuff since last week.. im not sure if i have enough time to prepare... i dont know if i should bring my paper works too coz it's kinda dangerous to leave them at home.. i'll be gone for 2yrs and im sure someone will most likely take over my room and make it as his living room.... =,=" knowing my brothers they'll invite their friends in my room and like a gallery, walk around and have a drink there.. gaah.. just thinking about it makes me want to lock my room.. but there's no lock....... >x<"
anyway... kyaah...~~ im really excited...! i'll be living by myself on a boarding house.. well.. not by myself but with a housemate and a landlord.. i wonder what kind of person is my housemate..? XD the landlord sounds sweet and nice from the phone.. lol... kyaah.. im so excited....~~
but first.. some commissions needs to be done.... a~ah.. im so lazy.. i feel so sleepy... 
lol jk.. XD *procrastination over*
what bothers me.....
...is that i wanted to eat croquettes but i cant order out coz they dont accept debit and i have no cash at that time.. so i ended up making my own.. lol... XD
more like a fried "smashed" potato.. XD but it was good regardless of how it looks.. it's crispy outside and melted on the inside.. yummm.... oyster sauce as my sauce coz i love oyster sauce.. =P
kidding aside.. what bothers me is something that's been bothering some people too.. copied/reference pics.. i reported a couple of pics too from some of the most obvious users who does this.. i sent my proofs along my reports but i havent received any reply nor a response to my report.. i really took my time and look for some coz i am sure i've seen that image on some scene in some episode of some anime.. gaah.. whatever.. here's the proof pic..
of course, the user's pic isnt 100% accurate.. it's natural that lines wiggle at some point so there might have some miscourse and whatnot.. my concern is they dont even bother to mention anything that'll clear any suspicions.. *no credit or whatsoever to the original reference* and people are tolerating it through the number of hugs and favs.. isnt that like some kind of encouragement..? we've seen some pics over and over again.. may it be from here, from deviantart, from the anime or manga itself.. who knows if they just pause, capture, edit, post.. tsk..
reference is just a reference.. akuma de reference desu yo.. it is not some free lineart for coloring or photo copying.. use a reference to create a similar idea in their own creativity.. not the similar pose and being creative with that.. true, there might be some changes made to the original, making it possible to claim it as their own, but the base belongs to someone else and they cant say it's original if it wasnt them who came up with that concept.. originality and creativity.. isnt that how it's suppose to be..? v_v"
there are a couple of times when these copied pics has more hugs/favs than some art that obviously has more effort and creativity.. for example, saiyuki's work got overhugged by *tuuuuuuut*'s copied pic, and i dont think thats fair at all... we take our time to make our own concept in our drawings.. and i believe we deserve more appreciation than those pics that are just copied..
doesnt it bother u..? v_v"
i know im probably making a big deal out of this.. but like some say, theOtaku fanart section has way too many copied pics already unlike before.. i dont know much about before but i agree with what im seeing lately..
another thing thats bothering me is.....
gummy bears.. i bought gummy bears but they're not gummy at all.. and they dont look like bears.. wth..?! i should've bought gummy worms instead.. at least worms are more squishy..? XD
so random blog post.. but i made my point.. i just feel bad for those people who've been victimized too by that incident.. whether it's the fried smashed potato incident, the copying incident or the gummy bears.. lol..
august 2009...
what a month... there's just a lot that happened.. especially at school but err.. aug.16... another art thief has appeared.. like wow.. 2 different people stealing the same piece on the same week.. lol.... it was aug.12 when someone from DA told me about an art thief in some community.. *solved* and just soon after that, there's another one.. i registered in that site too to take a look at more of her posts.. she was just posting it in the forum as a random topic.. 5 people from that forum recognized it like wow.. usually it's just 1 person who'll recognize whats mine.. lol.. anyway.. we had a nice lil chat.. she just disappeared after i took a pic of myself with the ones she posted.. XD
*busted* im so exhausted that day.. oh well.. like if this pic didnt work, look at my pretty hair and beat my watch.. lol... *randomness* XD
i actually registered the moment i knew about it but i was just invisible.. plus, there's quite a bit of fuss after some people mentioned it was stolen.. *let her get harassed first..* **evil** =P
i really appreciate those 5 people who fought for whats mine.. i didnt even know them.. i feel bad.. XD im happy already with 1 people recognizing my art but to have 5 fans in that site... lol.. XD thank u thank u... =P
yeh.. she just logged off after that commotion.. loser... lol....
how i wish i can say "stop it already with all these stealing" but i kinda felt better after the reports.. XD keep them coming... spread my works.. lol..... XD

on the other side.. aug.21.. finally done with school... weee.. and to celebrate that, our chinese classmates hosted a lunch out in IDOL restaurant.. *it's called IDOL* the food was great.. now i know how shikamaru feels like coz we have choji in our table.. XD
not much pics.. my phone was dying and couldnt take any more pics.. v_v" im waiting for the emails of those who took pics with me or wait for their facebook.. *ugh.. i dont use facebook that much though* XD
oh well.. it was a fun summer with them.. *^^*
