There are many consequences spawn from this singular change. My environment is going to be very different, and I will have to make new friends and learn to live in a new settling. There will be many challenges for sure, and I can't say I am anxious to meet them. The worst part of leaving Beijing this year is the fact that I do not know if I can return next year. I've been coming back to visit for the last 13 years without fault, and it's a cherished opportunity for me to spend time with my grandparents. But being in grad school is like having a job; summer vacation becomes a thing of the past, and I might only get two weeks off in a year. I'm gonna do my darnest to make it back next year, if only for two weeks, but at this point I really don't know what the future holds for me in grad school.

Also, since I will be going back soon, I'm gonna remind people here that I will be returning to LJ once I get back. Yes, that means my DA journal is going to become semi-dead, but hopefully I'll have something to show for my summer after I get back.

The actors as a whole performed well in their roles. Tony Leung was perfect as Zhou Yu IMO, and Takashi Kaneshiro was quite convincing as Zhuge Liang. It was nice and quite interesting to see these two characters interact as friends rather than bitter rivals, especially since the old 90's mainland TV drama portrayed Zhou Yu as an exceedingly envious person. Cao Cao was also portrayed differently from the usual megalomaniac interpretation. He's still very proud, but here he doesn't feel quite like a tyrant, but a man who is cunning and shrewed. The female leads on the other hand, were rather weak. Zhao Wei as Sun Shangxiang reminded me a lot of her breakthrough role as Xiao Yanzi. I know Shangxiang's character is suppose to be tomboyish, but I felt her character came off as more immature than anything else. Xiao Qiao played by Lin Chi-ling felt awkward throughout the film. I know she's suppose to be this soft spoken lady but her delivery is so monotone at times, I wandered if that's deliberate or if the person just can't act.

Besides the movie I also bought myself three more gunpla. Yes, MORE. No, I'm not crazy (at least I don't think I am yet). This time I got Gundam Nadleeh, the GN-X, and the Tieren Taozi.I laughed a little when I learned what the Chinese name of the Taozi is: it's "peach", as in the fruit. XD Maybe that explains the MS's color but who would name a specially designed suit "Peach", even if it is for a young female pilot? Oh well, at least now I won't have to have my Celestial Being gundams do a gang fight on the custom FLAG I bought. I can now have Virtue, Dynames, and Exia face off the FLAG, have Kyrios pose against the Taozi, and have Nadleeh fight against the GN-X. I thought about getting the Trinity's gundams but at that point I'd have ten gunpla to haul back, and that's just too many gundams to put together and ship back for me.

The prices were pretty good too and saved me a trip to Hongqiao Toy Market for gunpla. I might be able to get the models there for an even lower price, but the aggrivation of driving there, finding parking, and haggling over prices are well-worth the few extra dollars. -_-

I also got the Gundam 00F vol.1 manga and the first volume of the 00 novel in Chinese. There's suppose to be some details not found in the anime so I had been wanting to read it. I also got a Lockon and a Tieria capsule figure. XD But I don't think I'll place them next to each other or else people mistaken me for a LxT shipper.

Besides Ningbo we also went to Mount Putuo where there are quite a few famous Buddhist temples. Since I've seen my share of temples and monasteries in China over the years I wasn't really interested in sight seeing. What was rather interesting though, is that there were throngs of people, Buddhist faithfuls, who climb the 200 meter or so tall mountain either with a prayer or a bow every three steps. The reason why they do this is due to the belief that if a faithful makes a wish to Guanyin and the wish came true, then he or she (mostly women) must comeback to repay the wish with prayer and a small gift for the bodhisattva. It was a very hot, stuffy, miserable day when I went and I was impressed by the sincerity and determination those people had to climb all those steps.

Now that I'm back I'll be doing some R&R until my trip to Japan. Until then I'll be visiting museums and doing a little shopping in Beijing and just in general relaxing.

The other, more art related news I have, is that I now have a scanner set up. I was going to break my scanner to China with me but it got switched out at the last minute. My dad brought me his old scanner today and after trying it out, it works quite well and I can keep working on my PT doujinshi now. ^^

If anyone could give me updates on those things it will be deeply appreciated. *bows*

As for what's been happening lately, I went to town with Winnie and her brother today. It was quite fun and went quite smoothly, though the weather is extremely stuffy and I was really tired by the time Winnie went back to her hotel. Grandma tells me she's planning to leave for the Shanghai area the day right after I get back from Kunming. After a whole week trekking around at high altitude, I don't think I can handle going on a 11 day trip immediately afterward. If I don't go I don't know if my grandparents would give up on the idea of going all together. I'd feel bad if that was the case, but I also don't want to get my self sick and wear myself to the ground by being herded around without a break.

But after thinking about it, the thought that someone took something I had worked hard on and didn't even bother to ask first, got me pissed off. I've already messaged the person who made the amv but I don't know if she'll answer back. If not, then I might have to do something else but I don't want to blow things out of proportion. It's not like she claimed that she drew the picture so it's not something that serious, and I don't mind if she wants to use my picture in the future as long as she asks. But right now I'll just have to wait and see if there's going to be a reply. *sigh*

In light of this incident however, I've added a note to all my pictures asking people to get permission first if they want to use the picture. This probably makes me sound pretty anal but I really don't want something like this happening twice.

Update: The person has apologized but has not yet credited me for the picture. That's nice but it doesn't really solve the problem at hand. I've left her another message and hope she will somehow credit me soon.

So in conclusion, it's odd how the art styles around you can influence (subliminally even) how you draw. It's kinda like being brain washed (in a good way). XD

I know that my style has evolved a lot over the many years I've been drawing but I still surprise myself when I look back sometimes. My mom still wants to keep some of my old hideous drawings because, well... she's my mom, but if it weren't for the nostalgic factor I'd probably throw all of them away.

My art Muse has been running crazy for the past month and a half over Princess Tutu and now that school's about to start in two days I really need to rein her in (although her activity has been decreasing since I came back from vacation). Also, not to brag or anything but I had someone ask me to draw fanart for her fanfic. This comes after I had drawn and posted fanart based off of Amako-chan and Tomoyo Ichijouji's PT fanfics. I actually thought of drawing a fanart for that person when I had come across her story but I really don't have the time and energy to throw myself into fanart, but I won't exclude the possibility of drawing something small for her, if she doesn't mind (cross fingers). I probably won't have anything major for a while and since I realized my scanner at home can actually handle pencil sketches, I might put up some scraps (God knows how much I doodle, in and out of class ).

Right now I just want to get all my apartment issues out of the way and start taking my classes. At least with school the stress stems from myself, not from the actions of others and vice versa. So if I stress, I'll have nobody to blame other than myself (and maybe my professors ).

Clubs:

Thankfully my classes this quarter isn'tt that bad but I might be jinxing myself by saying that. Anyways, I have more fanart waiting in the wings but no time to finish them or get started even. The good news is that during the summer I stocked up on art supplies (i.e. Copic Markers! ) and have gotten started working on a doujinshi based on my Sailor Moon fanfic, "The Blue Rose Renaissance". So far the doujinshi is coming along well but I've only done about half a dozen pages out of the total of 19 pages. Still, hopefully I can finish it by the end of this school year, and I can finally justify my pseudonym

So hopfully people will comment on my works and give me their thoughts, good or bad so I can do better.

Anyways, to introduce myself a bit further, I'm a college student who's trying to balance school, fanart, and life in general. I started drawing when I was about 5 and my first canvas were the walls in my grandparents' apartment. From then on I was introduced to anime but didn't realize what it was until I came to the U.S. about a decade ago. Now I write fanfictions and draw fanart as a hobby but also hope to create my own doujinshi someday.

I actually have a small question that I wanted to ask about the use of this website. Can someone please tell me what's the difference between a devious comment and devious thought? Is one a review and the other a message? The help is much appreciated. ^^ ]]> ~Mangaka-chan
