Finally finished with my first term!!
Kind of sucks that the term is over just when im starting to know more people.
Normally, I don't like blogging without my own photos, but my sister took the camera with her to Hong Kong for two months so no camera for me :( My last resort is my itouch...which takes ridiculously crappy pictures.
I've abandoned this blog for so long so I thought I might as well post something. Plus, its the end of the first term. I always feel obligated to blog something after every school year or term/semester. Today is my first day of winter break and im already bored out of my mind. Feels to strange to not have that little voice in the back of head urging me to do homework.
Im tired, my back aches, and my brain cells are still snoozing...so im totally not in the mood to type essay-long entries XD ......this will be a very short entry, but on with pictures!
I really hate photobucket and im probably the only oldschooled person who still uses it -_- the recent photobucket upgrade is even worst. Also, it would make my life so much easier if blogspot would stop putting my pictures at the top of the page whenever I try to upload them (or maybe im just stupid and doing it wrong). Its no wonder why im so lazy to blog these days (or years).
One of my projects for visual communications. Its a pretty fun course and I've enjoyed most of the assigned projects.
My sister went back to Hong Kong for two months. I gave her a shopping list, but it was definitely less than what you see in this photo. A ton of my wonderful HK relatives went out of their way to buy all these gifts for me. I don't think I've ever received so many presents in a day. Definitely happiness overload x 10000!! This is such a crappy quality photo, kind of difficult to see whats in the pile. I'll definitely retake photos once I put everything on display. The garage/soon-to-be studio is almost done remodeling, super excited!
My To-fu design entry for the tofu contest. Made it to finals :D
Teaser of my final project, which was an illustrated story with sound effects. I've had this story in mind since last year, but never got around finishing it. Decided to take the chance to complete this for school. I ended up with 24 pages with sound effects. Took around 2 weeks, crouching in front of the computer with photoshop and my tablet. Forced myself to draw at least 3 pages every day. I still need to figure out the best way to upload the whole story...
Other stuffs!!
Currently obsessed with reading Yotsuba. Its a manga about a 5 year old girl named Yotsuba and shes beyond awesome. There are no words to describe her. Here are some of my favorite pages (I have tons more than this...)
My top obsession at the moment. Its a korean webcomic called Cheese in the Trap. I don't think I've EVER read such an AWESOME comic. Its suspenseful and mysterious, the characters are by far the most realistic and interesting. The story line is definitely unique and completely unpredictable. Its just amazingly impressive. I stalk for scanlation updates every week...

Turtle bun arm rest/ stress ball ? I think I might be tempted to eat it...
I've become such a Devilrobots fanatic I just feel like I NEED to own everything made by Devilrobots (although I have a pretty sad excuse of a Devilrobots collection)
Hoping to add some Smery to-fus in my collection ...too expensive though
Probably my next purchase.
My life will be complete if I can actually find one of these healthy edition Maffys :(
Gloomy bear X To-fu. Another must-get!!
Astroboy x Tezuka Moderno. So angry I missed out on a super good deal on this at amazon.
This is SO awesome. Seriously, whats better than a giant banana plush with a face on it.
Giant toast with a face. Looks very huggable
And a super giant sushi!! I wish I could make my own, in fact I think I will when I master sewing.
A pretty old designer plush by one of my favorite toy companies, FriendsWithYou. I love the child-like toy elements to it, its both adult and children friendly.
Koedalien Peter Pan set. This is based on a vintage Japanese toy called Koeda Chan. The Koeda Chan toys definitely brings back some childhood memories. This modernized Peter Pan set is awesome, but I can't find it anywhere.
Newest Gloomy Bear figure, the continous pound edition. Its a bit too violent for me, but I do like how Chax is included in this figure. Its on my 'maybe-to-buy' list.
Lunartik mini teas blindbox figures!! I've always wanted one of the original Lunartik tea figures, but couldn't afford them. Luckily I can afford this mini version.

Trader Joes is the most amazing store ever. They never disappoints!!
Some new Trader Joes addiction. Danish pancakes!!
...and Strawberry Yogurt O's. This is the best cereal I've ever had. Its a lot crunchier than Cheerios, doesn't get soggy as fast. Its not too sweet and has yogurt covered dried strawberries. *drools* (I could only find this tiny picture)
I believe thats all for now :D !!
