I didn't.... I didn't.



... I did. Because the game store next to Mitsuwa was closing, and today was the last day for all clearances. And the game was for a ridiculously good deal. And I don't even have a PS2, let alone an imported one 8D;;; I-I think PS3 is region-free though. But I've planned my winter on playing Fire Emblem(s) too... well, now I foresee my winter. Not even sure how much will I comprehend the game;;

Today I went landscape painting with my 113A class at Monte Bello, and GOOD GOD IF I HAD KNOWN THE STREET WAS THAT CURVY AND SLOPEY I WOULDN'T HAVE DRIVEN A MANUAL. Ginny and I thought of Initial D because of it, like Mako and Sayuki, only we're completely going "AHH WE'RE GONNA CRASH A BIKER. AHHHH WE'RE GONNA ROLL DOWN THE HILL." It became Initial T. Kevin said he'd never seen a girl driving a manual.....Srsly. Anyhow, on the contrary to everyone's belief, the weather was extremely warm, so much sun exposure that we got sunburn. Haha I felt like a 5 year-old again painting outdoors. My landscape painting skill is so bad... And so many classmates are setting up an art blog at blogspot. Maybe I might too. Then Ginny and I took the wrong turn on one of the roads, and we saw deers crossing the street...

Then when I came back, I receive a phonecall from one of my housemates, the one who was quite emotional last year. She was crying down in the parking lot without parking her car. ( More. )

Other than that. Weekend consisted of staying til 5AM in the art building.

First of all, welcome back everyone who went to AX! Hope it was fun!

On Friday, hung out with kyraensui, mingmingcheong, and hellmaster05! Tho in the end we didn't watch movie, we played Rock Band Wii at my house. Played all day yesterday too. It was teh awesome. 8D Butchering the vocals is my forte.

Uhm, bought the cosplay magazine Layers, because...



( Haruka4 - Kazahaya's costume!! )

Also bought the Zelda Four Swords+ mangas at an impulse. xD The four five Links are so fun, what with their different personalities... I love Red and Blue's little fights, but Shadow Link's development was the highlight. I need to get OoT vol.1 in Japanese... the one we have is the Chinese version, and I can't find it anywhere else, so I wanna keep it in fair condition.

Let's see, I finished looking over the Geography midterm stuff. I actually enjoy the material for the class a lot. It reminds me one of my earliest passions in elementary school was earth science (somewhat geography then). I remember borrowing so many books about rocks and minerals from the library ^^; Well that is until high school where my academics in science rock bottomed (no pun intended). Actually there wasn't anything in particular I excelled on.

My classes for Fall is still not completely figured out yet, but I'm just keep avoiding it. This won't do... *losing sight*

Well right after the Xmas dinner, the past few days I suffered from indigestion, including the sudden chills and heartburn... It's better now, although still kind of hurting. Antacid and 7up worked though ♥ :D!

I was debating whether to buy one of those ReboLam doujinshi's on LJ or not... since I want to save up for kitmun-jie's artbook. Right now I'm still at a deadlock TT;;

So after debating a while, I decided to make an art blog: asaphira 8D; I actually hogged the username a while ago for claim sake's and nothing else. I kind of want to change my artsite's name to "Itsa Sfera" now o_o; Originally I wanted to just use my fic archive for art as well... but converting it to a community was impossible without deleting the entries/comments.. WHICH I DON'T WANT. I'll see if I wanna put future fics in there... but I feel bad for neglecting sushiwrites.

Finished the Reborn requests after centuries *sloows*. I think the 8096 one's my fav ♥

Rest of them.

And... Haruka3 Kurenai no Tsuki *_*~~ *wants to draw Haruka3 art* I'm only at the first 15 minutes, but I ended up snapshotting crazily. I'm still kind of sad to never have gotten the chance to play it... but anyways... The animation is DEFINITELY Maihitoyo quality ♥!! What's with the intro though? Everyone's naked, and it's geared more on the Masaomi/Nozomi end XD; Either it's fanservice for the fangirls, or they were lazy to animate the clothes for 2 minutes. So uhm.. from the 15 minutes. Therefore no spoilers~
Masaomi :D~~~~ <3 Complete heartthrob shot~

( Few more. /fangirl )

(EDIT// Masaomi's good with kids~~ And pfft. There is a half undressed moment! And... AHHHH adult Hakuryuu puppy face... Nuuu ;_;)

( Finished watching, and SPOILERS. ) The ending song is by Miki! O_O He lives.

My sister has a small fever... I hope she feels better~ And to everyone who's sick right now, hope you feel better! ;_; ♥

Hmm... I do miss coding and working on websites. pdNET is sadly neglected, so I hope to revamp it this break and experiment more layouts. There are a few other managements I need to take care of, forums and vacuuming. Trying to make this break feel a little more productive... I really do wish I was employed so I can be a little more aware of time X_X; *totally thought today was Saturday*

If anyone wondered what my Art50 project was, here are some images. Basically we had to compile 200 mini sketches and 100 artists together into one color-printed and binded journal. 6_9 ( Shots. )

Should be studying finals. Again, to all F!List, sorry the Xmas cards are going to be a bit late T_T; Haven't the time to start on it until this week, but I promise they will be sent out! I completely forgot to put the header up, so I'll give one last plug to it. Whoever (Flist) wants an Xmas card from me ♥

Here's a... somewhat preview of it. Sorry for the low-res @@; Didn't realize.


Yesterday I bought a mini Christmas tree and a set of lights for our dorm, because everyone is so busy with studies that the Christmas spirit has no room to kick in... so I thought, at least we should have a mini Christmas something :3 They decorated it with cut-out snowflakes ♥ Now that's more like it!


GOOD LUCK WITH FINALS, EVERYONE!

Supernatural mini-Wincesters Xmas special tonight XD! NEVERMIND. It's tomorrow.

PS: After seeing nekoi_echizen's Haruka3 anime PASH scans, makes me so want a copy *_*;;;;

PPS: Read Reborn 173. REBORN STOP BEING SO MYSTERIOUS LEAVING US ALL IN SUSPENSE AND SHOW YOUR "REAL FORM" >< !!!!!!

So I went to Yaoi Con yesterday with kyraensui for one day :3 Here's a short report~

( Impressions compare to last year, Seiyuu Panel (Fanime's guest!), meet up with friends, merchandise pics, Reborn, then Kinokuniya XD; )

It was an interesting day. I was a tad disappointed in some of the con changes this year, but meeting up with people made it more interest :D

And then my dad, mom, and I watched Transformers because Dad bought the DVD. I didn't get to watch it when it was in theatres... but God the movie ROCKED *______* Did so much justices to the Transformers. Optimus Prime was very kind, and Bumblebee was darling.

Just to summarize the situation in sentences:

• 2-3 mid-terms next week.
  
• Inferior complex should DIE and STAY DEAD. And I wish I can send the reading and sketching assignments to hell with it >(
  
• I still haven't register for Ycon yet, which is unforgivable, huh? Honestly it's cuz I have no clue what the transportation is gonna be like.
• Following baranoneko & kimi_kuma's footsteps, the Maihitoyo stage cast pictures -in costumes!- are out! ^^ I'm completely happy with Akane, Shimon, Eisen, and Takamichi. Pretty happy with Tenma, Suefumi, and Inori. Neutral on Yorihisa & Yasuaki (although they pulled off the hair nicely). Not really content with Juri in Tomomasa's look at all. :O
  
• Naps are God-sent.
• Ebay and Y!Auction (and Jpqueen), as always, are so evil with so many goodies.
• Figure drawing class, we've had 3 male models; they all have nice skin, and I'm jealous. T-T

Okay well I thought I was gonna go to sleep but ended up finishing some assignments and then roam on the internet again. Aside from being majorly frustrated by PhpBB3 conversions, I have other news to tell!

That is... bits of info/report from NeoRomance Festa 9 from Baidu :O!!!

1) THEY ALL SAID HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SEKI ^____^!!! Lots of "Ometetou"~!!

2) Now... BIG NEWS for Haruka3 fans......... THERE WILL BE HARUKA3 ANIME ADAPTION that will be aired on KIDS Station in December!!! *_*!!! x-post on harukana & angemedia.

No clue about the dramas and song list yet. Will try to dig up reports or wait for the official list.

Off to sleep.

OT note: My sis heard when I was listening to Kaze no Michi Yukue, and she said TsudaKen has a really nice singing voice >u< Yup I ♥ his deep voice too.

Okay, really off to sleep.

For Maihitoyo audience, first read the crack review and then the crack as well real review XD Sry, wedlock; but they're too fun.

On other notes, I went to Kinokuniya yesterday in search of a game magazine, couldn't find it, but I stumbled upon SS～スモールエス～vol.10, an art magazine. I dunno if Kino receives it monthly, but this issue looks really cool, and the magazine itself is quite useful with the exclusive gallery (80+ pages) of thumbnails and tutorials. Good to see the range of skills and age~~*_* And it was only $12, not bad. I hope something inside will inspire me. Just a few shots (ignore my foot and a few blurry shots xD):

(Cover) ( Inside shots )

Other notes. I've bought the tickets for the Within Temptation 9/21 concert ♥ And... I'm tired from reading textbook about American politics *WHINES* I'll doodle before more homework; that is, doodle NOT for class.

First, Haruka business, which is also x-posted on harukana XD

• Atsumori fanart for nameraka finally done. XD~ He is so much fun to color. And to all Ten no Genbu fans as well~



• pic = youtube link. Next, Maihitoyo AMV finally done *headesks!* Oh this thing was a pain in the ass. Well, Movie Maker was also part of the blame XD; AMV's mainly Suefumi/Akane, but all Hachiyou are present. Warning: SPOILERS GALORE
  Song: Holding Onto Nothing by Ministry of Sound
  ► download link @ AMV.org.
  
  I'm...pretty much desensitized from watching it so so so so so many times, so feedback is much appreciated because it's all a blob to me at the moment XD;


• One more Haruka business. Sort of... BL related. ( ... )

Non-Haruka business includes the following:

• My roommate and I arm-wrestled yesterday XD; All 4 times we were in a stalemate position, but I almost won on one of them.


• m00_chan told Mom to tell me to go on AIM... so she can send me a Supernatural music video of the recent episodes. (why does this scenario feel deja vu?) *PANKS* You obsessed person, go study finals >( But sis, the music video was very touching, especially toward the end T3T Song was really bittersweet.


• Packing/cleaning = dustbunnies


• ( Paris Hilton commentary )


• When Shimatani Hitomi's Neva Eva PV is out, I am so making an icon of her in-your-face teacher look. ♥

SO. After that previous WIP journal, I work on something different. xD; Is it hard to tell which I'm more passionate about? I'm studying Color theories at the same time, I swear.

*sigh* Atsumori, why are you so pretty and why do you have so many damn layers T_T? but again, all of the Haruka3 characters are extremely pretty. To non-Haruka3 audience: 'tis a guy. Even my roomie can tell, so that's saying something!

A few days ago, I went to calculate my Eng1B class grade. I'm bordering at a A- and B+... now I can only pray I did well on the final exam so it won't be the latter. = =|||

yukimura: Sorry I left soon yesterday and didn't let the transfer finish ;_;!

GAHHHH. Am finally done ♪ Even though I should have been doing English reading. Goku's OC contest entry: Shen & Edriel. I still think the coloring could have been better... argh, how could I have brought the tablet but not the pen home? シクシクシクシク Therefore most of the background was done by mouse. +_+;a Can cross this out from my to-do list now. It ended up as 188MB.

OT: Now this was highly unexpected. There is actually a gasp!English fic for MasaKurou: here. Very spoilers-filled from Izayoiki (but I asked Kate to spoil them a while ago since I can't play it, so it didn't come as a surprise for me.). But still, the piece was so sweet and well-written (although angst filled), and it gave me a better scope of them outside of spoilers :33~ ♥

I dreamed that someone broke into our house while taking a nap today. *KNOCKS ON WOOD* Too many weird dreams lately.

Phew XD Today I went to visit saramichiru and kimi_kuma , and the day full of NeoRomance goodness went by tooooo fast! Excluding the fact that I was late.

Is gonna be a short summary since I have some stuff to finish ><;

( Cut for fangirl... I mean, report + pics (friends only) )

My last minute intake on Lina's tattoo linework contest. Had so much fun making it colorful that I might have overdone it @_@;;;; There's no chance of winning... for there are so many talented colorists out there. *have tried* This isn't even on my to-do-list... oh well. ¦D Okay, time to work on Shen/Edriel.



OT: Okay, Eien no Sakura Fubuki wo Anata Ni NEEDS a live! ♥

Count down: 5 more days

More birthdays!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY shezael and etherealdark! ♥

*goes do last minute hw*

8D 那兩個青龍傻瓜在玩剪刀石頭布? （超好奇~ 想要喔）

More Maihitoyo rant, but in my broken up Chinese just to filter the tone 8D;

好像“舞一夜”的評論都很不同的 o_o;; 有些就覺得很感動（例如我），有些就覺得好無聊好可預言的... 不過人家最想講的是關於天真.

話説在英文的遥か社區呢... 他並不是一個受歡迎的角色 -很可惜- ^^;;; 人家承認在漫畫裏他的確是有點癡情又容易吃醋，而且有點不擇手段的行爲.（...アクラム才是不擇手段嘛 8D;;） 那漫畫就算了... 但某人也對劇場版的天真一樣沒好感，說“舞一夜”是偏去青龍組和小茜的配對，說天真更佔有慾強的 = =||| 什麽？？？ 他為小茜做那麽多東西，小茜不原意的話，就算自己心痛都 *尊重* 她... 而且第一個發現小茜有心事的又是天真. 他在乎小茜，為她擔心，受傷... 全部都是情人理想的質量... 他有什麽地方不好！？ 最可惜的是她好像不了解... 人家覺得小天好可憐 T_T 再説他根本就是小茜最親近的人...劇場版在強調這點是理所當然吧 = =+（難倒我是英文社區裏百分之一的天真粉絲？）

...我或者也有點偏心... 因爲是小関配的角色 XD... 不過現在很喜歡多季x小茜那個配對~♥ 留給青龍組去自己恩愛啦 XD;;; ORZ 青龍配是王道~ （難倒又是英文社區裏百分之一的青龍配粉絲？）

*edits out* I'll wait until tomorrow for shoutout. ^^;

Argh, I'm supposed to be doing my essay...

...BUT I AM WATCHING ~MAIHITOYO~ movie. *headesks* Tohoho, and the DVD booklet is so pretty.

Eeeeee~~ but the animation is so... gorgeous, much more polished than the TV series... my eyes are flashing with colors now. The the mood is a lot more solemn too. The music *_*~ ♥ And poor Akane. >_< ( minor spoiler ) I feel the movie definitely developed her a lot more character-wise too.

...Halfway through right now. Will resume now. *grins*

Thank you Chinese subs XD... even though I 一知半解...

Edit: Finished. Wah T____T 好感動喔~ I think I'm a Suefumi/Akane shipper now ♥ The ending with everyone at the hilltop is lovely... better than a totally sad ending. Argh. Not in the mood to do essay anymore.

Sleepy from waking up "early" at 9:30. Shoot. I'm gonna die next week XD *sob* Edit: Nevermind. MSN error fixed.

Went to my physician today. I lost 8 lb.(3.6 kg) since summer. That isn't normal for first year in college. o_o;;;;; I'm not too sure to be happy or not. It's not like my eating habits changed that severely. Maybe I lost muscles now that there's no swimming. I think I'm gonna run a mile this weekend if it's not raining. *feel so out of shape*

I was able to find 遙かなる時空の中で ～八葉抄～想いの在処「地」.rmvb, only it's RAW. *points to icon* X3;; Oh my God, the cuteness~!

Overall on the Chi Hachiyou:
- Yasuaki: The source of my laughter. XD; Now THAT is what I call 來無影，去無蹤 (come with no trace of shadow, go with no trace of whereabouts). It's like he appears whenever someone calls his name. Even out of a BUSH. Startled everyone. *DIEZ*
- Tenma: He surprisely got lots of screentime. He prolly had a thousand expressions and overactions in here XD TEH silly boy temper. Tomomasa still pisses him off, and the man knows it ^^;
- Shimon: In some of the parts I just wanna squish him ♥ And I'm so amazed how he can even use Heian period ingredients to make such... pretty snacks. DUDE. I want his cooking skills XD
- Tomomasa: The calmest one of the bunch in the midst of this 'battle'. He knew what to say in the right moment. EEee he played the biwa to Akane *_*~ Still as graceful as ever. His charms... *fans*

Teasers, all the shiny shots (aside from Kotengu XD;):


Summary:
Kotengu caused trouble (again XD) because of his endless grudge against Yasuaki, who once again did him injustice. Fed up about it, he decided to challenge the onmyouji.

( I pretty much summarized every bit of the chapter from what I can make out. So I guess, spoilers? o_o;;? Loaded with creencaps because I'm a dork. Warning: Fangirling? )
So that concludes the episode. I think I overdid it. XD; Ah well. It was fun. The episode itself was a lot of fun.

Because it's part of the seiyuu fan's dream to sing with a favorite seiyuu, I attempted X3;;; GAHHHH singing with Okiayu-sama is soooooooo grand, and such a purty ballad too *_____*;; Ah, but I can never mimic Ikue's adorable voice. Went off a few times, but this was the best version before Audacity hasta la vista on me.

Haruka3 - Unmei no Koudoyo (adult Hakuryuu and me ¦D)

Comments and critiques are welcome, not too hard though xD Not liable for earbleeds if you listen at your own discretion. Next goal, to sing Destiny with Seki ♥

♥お誕生日おめでとうございます！ HAPPY BIRTHDAY Naozumi Takahashi a.k.a Nao-kun!!!♥ Hope he has a wonderful 35th birthday with many gifts and greetings from fans ^___^///

Now..... just an hour ago before shower, I sat in front of the screen 3 hours on MSN webcam, playing watching saramichiru, kimi_kuma, and rady (fine, who was watching too XD) playing Haruka1 ~Maihitoyo~ PS2, Sara and Kimi translating for me, and getting Tomomasa and Tenma's endings...................

( Yes yes, it's ridiculous to play it over the webcam, but omg finally able to see the game *O*!!!! RANT. )

Sadly, I really should have been working........ but ah well. ¦D But I was productive that I fixed the mod problems at Crossover Forums, turned in my Retroactive Course Add form (FINALLY), and downloaded many seiyuu stuff~ soubi_no_kissu officially gave me Seki overdose ♥ Although....... I still have to fix the host moving at Cirtex for promised-dream.net. *headesks* Everything's not working properly.

So there's my ramble for the day night.

OH YES!
♥ ♥

Happy Birthday seki_yumizu, and early one to kitmun-jie~~!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Hope you all have a wonderful bday *_* Sorry for the sparkle spam.

Woke up with an upset stomach, which sucks = =+ Still hurts. It sucks because it's so hard to say why the stomach's aching.

But, Aw. Aw. Awww. 青龍配果然是王道 ♥（欲同人）

I promise I will order Haruka Matsuri 2006 by this week. Also all Xmas cards will be printed out by this weekend. CG is 80% done. Will start the commission this week.
