                <description><![CDATA[ So I just returned from my 4 day weekend in Tenn.  I had to get my car fixed, spend some time with the In-laws, Celebrate becoming Shawn's wife, etc etc.  Throughout the course of my "mini-vacation" i had received certin amounts of text from people in FFXI.  I wanted a vacation from the game, and wanted to actually go out and enjoy the fresh air, the warm sun, REAL LIFE OUTSIDE THE GAME.  I didn't know how much I would have been missed and I feel like all my free time is surrounded by this vampire of a game.  I'm somewhat bothered about it, cause i feel like i'm only being dragged into the game to spend time with my friends even though they have other ways of contacting me (even though my minutes on my phone are limited).  but i dont know... i feel as if people have become dependent on me.<br /><br />Right now i'm slightly dazed after being awake for 16 minutes from the cat, even though I've been awake for 2 hours.  and I get this rush of a feeling like "i have to get online to clear shit up" even though I was gone for a few days and had announce it, and had personal things to take care of and whatnot.  I feel like i'm ranting, but i'm also becoming sick of FFXI because Im not having fun anymore.  I love adventering, I love doing random shit like I use to do in game.  I miss running around with Yamamotokenshin and Crouriant feeling like I can do something like curing them and raising them because they're always careless enough to get themselves in a bad situation.  but even then, Crou and Yama arn't logging in as much anymore... and I feel as if I might do the same.  I might convert and go back to Ragnarok Online and stay drama free from there on out.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've thought about this for a long time and have finally decided to make some Artifact / Relic armor from Final Fantasy Online (FFXI).  With my friends making a real life party set up, I decided that I'd like to challange myself and make some Paladin Relic Armor.  Easier said then done.  I was also looking at the Corsair's Artifact armor and it looks quite easy to make... so in your opinion... which is better?<br /><br />Corsair <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/Iruka_ga_Sensei/FFXI/CORAF.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br />Paladin <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/Iruka_ga_Sensei/FFXI/PLDAF.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...Just how Creative I can be.<br /><br />I have just entered a competition that will be taking place in November.  ItÂs a pull & casting sugar contest and it is to be creative and utilize the tools given to you.  Last years theme was under the deep blue sea, and this year is the Zodiac.  I have tons of sketches for each individual piece and IÂm excited to be entering my first competition.  This gives me the chance to show what I can do with my skill, knowledge, and artistic ability to have something on paper come out to something so visual and breath taking.  The prizes are:  A custom mold collection (for sugar) which values at $500, to have your piece photo and published in multiple culinary magazines, and the pride to know youÂve accomplished something.  IÂm going into it for the pride and the chance to feel the adrenalin of everything.  Wish me luck when the time comes.<br /><br />~Chef Mpeg<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ this quarter has been nothing but a great chance to show off what I can do.<br /><br />1.) I got a job as a Pastry chef in a Bakery called "The Little European Bakery" and with all the cakes I brought home, Shawn willingly ate them all.<br /><br />2.) A chance to work as an assistant for Chef Bodrogi in a Sugar and Chocolate Competation next year.  Credit works for internship, but sadly I'll be graduated but i'd love to still have the mark on my resume.<br /><br />3.) Chef also saw my drawings for my final, he already knew I was a great sketcher and had asked me if I can draw some dessert plating for him.  Sadly I won't get extra credit for it next quarter because He will not teach me, but he said he'll pay me for each sketch.  F-U-N!<br /><br />As for the wedding planning... lol, we havn't really accomplished much more then looking for a place and that's about it, HA PROCRASTINATION ROCKS!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ and that means I'm almost halfway there to my goal of being a pastry chef.  It's been almost a year since I transfered to the Art Institute and I had gained so much knowledge and made so many new friends with similar intrest, humor and craziness... I've taken my skills from basic cooking and cutting to carving objects onto pumpkins and squashes, ice carving, and working with dead dough and Tallow.  My sculpting skills have improved and so have my knife skills.  My skills with converting measurements and gaining knowledge on nutrition to eat healthier and loose weight.  Of course this is a busy quarter for me, so I won't post until the next time.  By then... Happy early Christmas and Merry early New Year.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So the last blog I typed on this thing was about the end of my first quarter as a beginner Chef.  My third quarter is coming to a close and I have to say, I feel like I have learned enough and not enough all at once.  So I'm not doing much food arranging next quarter since I'm working with cold things like Salads and cold aptz.  but I get to work on mostly the cost control of purchasing items and organizing the store room.<br />
<br />
This quarter (third) alone has taught me so much on what my career is going to be like, and I've created so many desserts and things that have made me feel very accomplished and yet has me feeling like I need to learn More... and More and More and More about desserts.  Working with the sense of taste and cleansing the palatte.  I've been told by friends, coworkers, and family to be placed in either Hell's Kitchen or Top Chef.  To be honest, after working with Chef Costa and Chef Canfield, they're far worse then Chef Ramsey. <br />
<br />
So for those who actually read, view, and enjoy my submits... please keep an eye out for next quarter's creations.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ i know it's somewhat delayed... but one of my pieces of artwork that i've done close to the beginning of the semester is being published in the essay x paragraph booklets that's required for english.  I'm suprised that it got accepted and whatnot... but i'll take a picture of the piece later in the week.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i've calmed down a bit about the comment thing... i've decided to rarely post my drawings because i'm transfering my art to a website with my fiancee.  We're creating a site for our photos (because we're slowly becoming cosplay photographers), drawings, forums, costumes... and whatever else we can think of.  So i apploigize to those whom i've offended with my previous journal post and with the image, it was purely out of sudden rage which is rare for me because i'm always a mellow person.  Well, back to the editing those 1,200+ photos.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm feeling somewhat peeved that the fact that i was rudely told off by someone who favorited one of my pieces of artwork even though I kindly asked him/her to comment in place.  I always ask for a comment before someone takes a look at my piece because I would like some sort of feedback.  It pisses me off that this person said i had no rank to make that comment to him/her in the first place.  Be curitous, I don't mind if you favorite my artwork... just leave something for me to look and take onto note...<br />
<br />
To those who i've requested comments from, please... I can always stop posting my artwork and move onto another website in which the responses are helpful.  Thanks in Advance<br />

<br />
it's the change of the season... we go from the warm days of summer to the chilly mornings of fall.  Everyone's getting sick... and we have little medication to cover the needy.  overall, it's the usual.<br />
<br />
thursday marks another depressing day for me.  the memories are dieing... but it's still haunting me. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ dear readers / viewers / people who  squeel & rape my drawings when i'm not  looking,<br />
<br />
The semester is coming to a close, and  frankly... I have to admit, for someone  who hasn't taken Drawing I before, i've  learned a lot of different styles to  work with.  Hopefully, I can get into  Drawing II when the fall semester  starts.<br />
<br />
Let's see... Other then working full  time and part time and having the final  art review on monday... I'm pretty much  open for drawing request (unless i'm  working on costumes for upcoming  conventions / or GMing the Private RO  server that's soon to be up.)<br />
<br />
I might be selling some of my sketches  to my uncle; whom is also selling oil  paintings from china on EBAY.<br />
<br />
Overall, i'm just stating that the  semester is over... i'm not going to  summer school... AND WTF IS THAT DOOR  ALL CLANGY LIKE?!<br />
<br />
btw... I may just get a 2 year degree  in art and head to medical school to  study up on massage thep.  So @ cons... > _> i'll give massages for free...<br />
<br />
Well time to leave this biatch of the  web and head to my book presentation...  damn.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ i can't believe it's been past a year  since my first meeting with Chris.  I  thought I saw him today, but it wasn't  him.  I thought that I could at least  get a birthday hug from him.  I  remember when I invited him, Nick and  Mike to the dinner and it was just  crazy.  I lost $40 to dinner, Nick  crawled under the tatami table and he  got kicked by steph.   *Sigh* then it  all happened after that.  Chris went  out with his friend and began ignoring  my friendship.  It lead to a point  where I wanted to give him something  for his birthday since he bought me a 4  dvd set.  But he felt so much pain in  him that he couldn't accept it.  I  planned on stopping by and leaving it  at his door step, but I didn't.  Our  friendship died and the only thing that  was left in me was memories and a small  hatred.  When i think about it... it  leaves a gaping hole in my heart.<br />
<br />
btw... happy birthday to me~ ]]></description>
