++ Long Live The G A M E

Today was fun

So much to say

But I'll keep this one short...ish

~~~

As I mentioned yesterday, I went to the con today! Hahaha, wasn't expecting much to come from today, but in the end I really enjoyed myself. I'm not the type to be really into the stuff that happens at a con, like the cosplays/screenings/sales/competitions, but the thing that really caught my eye was watching as artists drew their customers.

I spent a majority of my time there talking to the artists that were selling their stuff there. I really feel inspired to look at the works of these people. I really admire how they can do something like that. How they draw these pictures and get them professionally printed to sell at the con. It may not be career thing, but I really enjoy looking at those that take it as a hobby and genuinely love drawing.

I really wish to be in that position one day.

Two artists that really caught my eye was a 24 year old guy and a 16 year old girl. I talked to them two the most, and learnt a lot of things from the. The guy was doing portrait drawings for his customers whilst the girl was selling postcards, prints, stickers and other things like that. I really like the drawing style the guy had. It's something similar to how I want to be able to draw, so I'm currently keeping a close eye on his progress. The girl is a real inspiration. She's so young and she is able to manage her own stall. Also, I actually really liked her drawings, ended buying quite a bit from her, hahahha. I also managed to grab both their emails, so I'm happy about that.

Okay, so now that you know I spent most of my time at the artists section, let's move onto what I bought there.



First, I bought quite a few things done by the local artists here. They really inspire me, so why not? I bought 9 postcards, 2 posters, 1 original drawing and a local artbook. I am really proud of buying the GunGrave Artbook! I've been a fan of Yasuhiro Nightow for a long time! I love his Trigun and GunGrave series. He served as one of the inspirations during the time i was still learning to grasp my drawing abilities. Hmm, oh and I also bought a DVD called Takeshis', a movie made by Takeshi Kitano about himself. I am a huge fans of his movies and I own a boxset of all the movies he's directed up until Zatoichi, his 2003 feature film which won numerous awards internationally. Takeshi's came out in 2005, so I haven't got it yet. I'm really looking forward to watching it. Oh, also, I really loved his "Dolls" movie. If you haven't heard of it yet, I suggest to look it up. It's a really touching story(ies).

Okayy, I guess that's enough or today.

~~~

Hmm, was that short?

Maybe not short enough??

Pfft, yeah I tried my hardest, so it better be short!

++ Whatever You L I K E

Hopefully this will be a short one

If not, then I guess I still got a long way to go

But I'll get there... WITH MY NEW LAPTOP!

~~~

Yeah that's right, I got a new laptop! Yay, hahaha. I bought it yesterday. I got it using the scholarship money I'll be getting from the university I'm going to. But since I don't have that money just yet, my bro has gone and paid for it initially. I'll pay him back as soon as I get the money in the bank.



Oh yeah baby! The Lenovo SL500. A nice little business/multimedia notebook thats just good enough for me.

I don't play any games on my computer and only really use it for my designs and artworks, so I'm really happy with what I have!

Haha, it feels good to be typing away from the couch on a little make-shift table infront of the television. So comfortable, compared to the rock-hard, old-ass chair I used to sit at on my computer table. The piece of shit computer still sits on the same table at the moment, I don't think I'll be doing anything to it at the moment. I'll just keep it there and use it whenever I'm not using the laptop. But I don't know when that'll be, I'll be on the laptop most of the time now.

Ahhh, today I just stayed at home, a comfort I'm lacking a lot lately. Just to sit back and chill with a bit of music while surfing the net or whatever. I was just lying down on the couch with the air-con blasting away from above on full blast. Oh it felt so good.

Oh, and tomorrow, I'll be going to the local anime convension for the year with my cousins and a couple friends. I'm gonna be buying quite a few things, mainly artbooks/manga or anything art-related since thats what I'm mostly into. I can't wait to see what stuff is going to be there. Maybe I'll get some photos?

Well until then, see ya.

~~~

Lessee, my budget for tomorrow

I think it'll be around the $200 mark

Maybe that'll be too much? Hahah. No, it IS too much hahaha

One quick entry.

I forgot to mention something.

And might aswell make a new post for it =DD

~~~

So that friend I was shopping a birthday present for on Tuesday gave me a little present for a reason that I have no idea of. She told me about it the other day, but she was finally able to hand it to me yesterday.

She got me the Hugo Boss Pure fragrance that came out in April this year.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

I LOVE IT ALREADY x]

Which pretty much makes me want to buy her a present THAT MUCH MOREE.

Also, today marks the final day of 2008. A lot has happened this year and I've seen a lot of growth in myself this year. I'll definitely never forget this year. So many memories made.

I hope 2009 brings just as much too.

See you all next year~

~~~

And just because I won't be seeing everyone at midnight tonight...

HAPPY NEWW YEAR~!!

Hope everyone has a good one x]

Okay so, I've been on hiatus?

Too lazy, too busy?

Hahaha I think I've just been a fatass these past few weeks, BAHAHAH.

~~~

Back to blogging. A lots happened since my last post. Letsee, my bros gone back to Japan, bought some new PS3 games that me and my bro surprisingly got addicted to, been going out a bit here and there, attended a billion weddings, works out for the season and shop SHOP SHOPPPING, hahaha I don't know where to start?

Well I've been neglecting my blog, not because I have nothing to say, but more like the exact opposite where I have WAY too much I want to say. I sometimes have too much to say that I feel less motivated to start writing an entry 'cos it'll just take up WAYY too much of my time. So I guess I gotta learn to start making shorter blog entries.

Anywayz, moving on. I've pretty much summarised my days since my last post up there ^^^^^ so yeah, lets just move onto 2 days ago and yesterday. 2 DAYS OF SHOPPING =DD

YAY~

So Monday shopping was.. well, pictures speak louder than words, so heres what I bought! =DDD
First up is the shirt and sunnies I bought. Also a jumper in there cos I needed a new one anyway. I find that buying jumpers in summer is cheaper than buying them in winter. More people want jumpers in winter, so shops hike up the prices to get more money out of people. PFFT AND YOU CALLING ME DUMB FOR BUYING A JUMPER IN SUMMERR! DDD< style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">A nice pair of aviator-esque looking glasses. Needed a new pair since my old ones almost busted.

AND THEN, THE BUY OF THE DAY~
-drumrollllllll-TADA~!

I BOUUGHT ME A NICE PAIR OF CHUCKS <333

A pair of white leather Converse shoes. OH I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A PAIR, and i gotta love post-christmas salesss. Hahaha, today was a real bargain, though I won't get into specifics in prices. BUT OMGSH, SOOOOOO HAPPY WITH MY SHOES.

INFACT, I wore them the next day when I went shopping againn.

Tuesday I wasn't really expecting on doing anything, but I ended up going shopping again... since I'd already spent most of the money in my wallet the day before, I didn't really buy much. I actually intended on buying a few birthday presents for a couple of my friends since I had enough money anyway.

So first thing I ended up buying was two nice pairs of khaki pants. I already own one pair, but needed to get me some more hahahah. Next up was shopping with my other friend for her birthday present. My cousin came along aswell, so the 4 of us walked around a bit looking for something to buy her. In the end, we decided that we should head out to the city if we wanted to look for a birthday present for her. Maybe some other day then? =/

After that, me and my friend split with the two girls and headed back to my place to play some games. He stayed at my house from 2:30 until 10:30. We ended up playing Fallout for the PS3 for 7 hours, hahahaha. Had the biggest headache after that...

Anywayz, I think I'll end it there.. byee~!

Today's the 31st of December.

End of an eventful year.

2008, I'll never forget you~! ADIEU~

++ Better Late Than N e v e r

Gosh, I've been soo busy these past few days

Finally can take a breather

Let's see if I can summarise it all in this one post

~~~

Ok, so I've been reallyyy busy lately. That's why I haven't blogged about myself recently. Gotta catch up, so less talking and more doing!

Well, three days ago, that was my last post. Since I've talked about most of that day, let's talk about something I didn't mention. THE SHOPPING! =DD

Haha, well, I only bought two music albums, but it was still funn. I bought Kanye's "808s & Heartbreaks" and T-Pain's "Thr33 Rings".

I never thought I'd buy Kanye's album, but I thought it'd be good. Some of the songs on that album ARE addictive and DO get stuck in your head in a good way, but I hope that it's nothing more than just a 'concept album'. Having just ONE album like this is fine to me, but anymore than that and Kanye's off my list of favourite artists, period.

T-Pain's album is quite good actually. I've wanted to buy that album for a while now, and since I had the chance I thought I'd grab it. I absolutley love his "Chopped N Skrewed" song, one of my favourite songs and really does show T-Pains producing talent. He's gotten a lot of crap for using the Auto-tune, people keep on questioning his credibility because of it. But this song really does show what he can do and no one else can't at the moment. Other songs of note are his other two singles, "Can't Believe It" and "Freeze". Also, "Therapy" with Kanye is kinda hynoptic to me, it gets stuck in my head. Another really really good song is "Change", one of my favourites actually, next to "Chopped N Skrewed", it also show T-Pains talent to make songs. It's different to his other songs as it's more of a ballad and meaningful one. I'll keep it short and say that the rest of the tracks are okay so far, might have to have another couple listen throughs to get more thoughts on the other songs.

Anyway, so the next day, it was my brothers second last day at our home before he flew off. The day was busy because we organized a BBQ for him. So a lot had to be done. Apart from that, nothing much else happened. That pretty much took up my whole day.

Yesterday was an eventful day. First, I had work to go to. Woke up at 7 in the morn to get ready. Work was the same stuff. But we had to leave early that day and pick up Y-niisan from home to send him to the airport. Before that, our boss (as in the boss for us 3 brothers, hahaha) organized a nice lunch for Y-niisan. It was the first time they had the chance to catch up. My boss really is a good man, he's helped out family out so much, especially us 3 brothers. He's given us good jobs and never doubted us.

After the lunch, we sent Y-niisan tot he airport. Him and his wife are heading back off to Japan for another year or more. I already miss him, but that day was a little more tolerable than when he first left to go to Japan last year. He should have arrived back in Japan by now.

So, from there, made a pit-stop back at work before my bro dropped me straight off at the shopping centre to watch a movie with my cousin and her friends. Embarrassing to say, but we watched Twilight. Blame it on her, hahaha. Sorry girls, it's not really my 'type' of movie. We ate out a little after that too. It was pretty much 2 guys and 5 girls, a little awkward since I was introduced to two of the girls just that afternoon. Haha, but they're all cool.

Got home and I was soo damn tired. Didn't do much else before changing and heading off to sleep.

Anywaiz, that brings us to today. I've got shopping plans with a friend of mine. So I guess I might blog about that later tonight or tomorrow.

Until then.. I'm off to get ready, he should be here soon.

~~~

Good to finally get those days off my back, haha

Only recent update now is...

I need to find the other sock... where'd it go >____>
