                <description><![CDATA[ We found out why they told us not to put our fridge setting so high...<br /><br /><br />Last night, I was going to make some eggs for my dinner. I looked into the egg carton and found two cracked eggs. My first thought was "OH SHIT!". I reached in to grab them, but one of the eggs was actually STUCK to the carton, so I had to cut a hole around it.<br /><br />With the two eggs and the rest of my cooking supplies, I left for the kitchen. While the pan was heating up, I decided to peel off the carton remnants off that one egg. As I did so, part of the shell came off. <br /><br />When I saw the yolk I'd thought that there was still that thin layer surrounding the inner egg, but then realize.. "oh my god.. it's frozen..."<br /><br />I took the other egg and attempted to crack it in half. Turns out, that one was frozen too!<br /><br /><br />I've never had a frozen egg before...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So day 4 and 5 of college, we learned that it's seriously a small world. I met a few people, first years and orientation leaders, who lived near us.<br /><br />I found out that the leaders are really fascinated about how my roomie and I knew each other since elementary and have so much in common.<br /><br />If i ever felt any doubts about this school... it's all gone just by meeting with the leaders. They are amazing.<br /><br /><br />I recommend anyone who havent gone through college orientation to chat up with your orientation leader(s).<br /><br /><br /><br />aaaandd... yes that's it. I dont feel like retelling the whole day like I did with the past 3 days blog. Tomorrow's the last day of orientation then I'm free for the weekend and school finally starts. I'm actually pretty excited.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>[[[[ -- Day 3 -- ]]]]</b><br />My parents came down to visit today. They told me they were going to be here at 10am so we could hang for a while before I had to kick them off. It ended up that they didnt WAKE UP until 10 thus didnt get up here until 11. Within the hour, I gave them a short tour of our room and lounge, then went to a nearby restaurant to order to-go.<br /><br />At 12 was the day-long project of basically exploring. Spent an hour researching places to go and planning the road trip... we decided on three spots to hit. In the end, we ended up hitting only one spot and just spent a couple hours browsing the place. A CD/music store... that's where we went. Now, I'm not a fan on buying music AT ALL. I tend to get mine in a different fashion that doesn't require stacks of CD's. But at least they had a bookstore down the road.<br /><br />Yes, I like bookstores more than music stores.<br /><br />Afterward, we took the BART to a park in SF for dinner to find out that since we were the last group there, all the food were gone. Therefore came back empty stomached.<br /><br />So now.. sitting in room... typing this up... eating food... mmhm.. I should go buy some games from gamestop. =____="<br /><br /><br /><b>[[[[ -- Day 2 -- ]]]]</b><br />We made pasta for lunch!!! It was good.<br />I got my schedule fixed without having to go through the super long portfolio review; I dropped painting and took textiles instead. Did you know that I dont like painting at all? I hate it with a passion... even though I still do it.<br />Our faculty's awesome, especially the one who changed my schedule around. He gave me an A+ for looking up class schedules beforehand. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Our trip to Goodwill/IKEA was interesting. Though we happened to get stuck in the one bus that got lost... and couldn't find a way into the parking lot of IKEA made for trucks/buses.<br /><br />Three of our RAs made pancakes for dinner for anyone who wanted any. YUMMY. The super long line was definitely worth it. Though they did doodle on them with food coloring...<br /><br /><br /><b>[[[[ -- Day 1 -- ]]]]</b><br />I gotta say that I was pretty nervous during the drive up to Oakland, but once I got there, I got pretty excited. The dorm room is pretty nice. The desk is partially magnetic!!! which is awesome. We've got bunk bends and I ended up on the top bunk... I actually like bunk beds, but this one doesnt have railings, so I'm scared of falling off... >.<<br /><br />The people here are great. The RA's told us that we're encouraged to "explore" (coughdrugsrinkingcough) as long as it's not on campus. <br /><br />We actually met an elementary friend during the residential meeting. Surprising. Entertaining. Absolutely crazy.<br /><br />We've actually found a lot of downtime where we just sat in our room doing nothing. Boring... Yeah, I know we should go out and mingle, but my roomie isnt a social type person and I'm not usually my hyper self without someone else with me.<br /><br />Our suite mates are actually pretty cool, cept for the fact that we got lock out of the bathroom on the first day ^^".<br /><br /><br /><br />I am going to detest stairs by the end of the year.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I cant believe my first day at college is only 10 days away!!<br />Well, actually it's 18 days until class starts, but I'm counting move-in and orientation week. I'm pretty excited to see how different it's going to be and finally move out of my cluttered-beyond-imaginable room.<br /><br />I've also found a new love for fabric painting. A couple weeks ago, I bought a yard of fabric (not sure what kind this is..) to test paint on. It turns out that I can paint and blend a lot easier than canvas fabric.<br /><br />Now I just wanna try out textile paint...<br /><br /><br />--<br /><br />And for future and anyone else's reference, Prismacolor's "permanent" pens... aren't very permanent on fabric.<br /><br />--<br /><br />Also, I'm still open for "Summer Special $10 Tote bag" commissions.<br />Details:<br />- 9x11" white tote bags<br />- $10 flat + free shipping<br />- Your choice of design and number of characters<br />- One side only. Both sides = $20.<br /><br />Deal ends Aug 19th.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So it has been exactly a month since summer vacation of 2009 started and I have done absolutely NOTHING beyond eat, sleep, computer, and vary rarely go out of my little cove to meet up with friends.<br /><br />I have completed exactly ONE piece of doodle-art. There has been absolutely NO inspiration for me to do ANY type of drawing since. (hence the rant about not getting any drawing classes..) I've actually planned out a lot of possible pieces in my mind -- one including a giant orange spider..., but for some reason, my hands refuses to do any work. Therefore I have resulted into another idea of taping giant pieces of paper on any available wall in my -extremely messy- cove, dug out all my pencils (I dont know why they were packed away in the first place), and hope that having blank pieces of paper around my room will cause me to doodle chaos. <br /><br />If you're wondering why I bother to post these random ideas of mine, it's because I'm bored. <br /><br /><br />I also plan on destroying 90% of my gallery by the time college starts.<br /><br />--<br /><br />My mom still owes me a sewing machine. <br />Since I want to continue my little tote bag shop, I've decided to ditch the pre-manufactured tote bags and make them myself. Especially since NO STORES sell the tote bags I use anymore. This will result in custom sizes, styles, and LONGER handles. Yes, I do hate how the tote bag doesn't quite go over my shoulder.<br /><br />But I dont know what fabric to use. I'd thought of using pure canvas fabric since painting on it will just be like painting on canvas, but that's going to cost a lot. I've done a quick browse at JoAnns and it doesnt seem like they have any canva-fabric or anything thick enough to work well with paint. I use acrylic paint, btw, the more expensive kind too.. since they're the only ones that'll stain fabric.<br /><br />I'm actually thinking of just buying paint made for fabrics (like screen printing paint), but they cost a lot!! D: (and I've got too much paint as is)<br /><br />--<br /><br />But on with that.. I believe I still owe people art.....<br />~<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> -- one "amazing digital drawing" that includes a full background... this is like.. almost a whole year late <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/mad.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":x" title=":x (Mad)" /> (sorries!)<br />=<a class="u" href="http://avenuecloudeh.deviantart.com/">AvenueCloudeh</a> -- did you still want that tote bag? I keep forgetting... XD <sub>I MISSES YOU SINCE CSSSA!!</sub><br />NxacoFals -- I owe you a lot of stuff.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/mad.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":x" title=":x (Mad)" /> BUT birthday art gets priority! The rest can wait.<br /><br />anyone else?<br /><br />--<br /><br /><b>Tote Bag Commissions</b><br />I have a LOT of tote bags still!<br />They are white 9"x11"x2" and looks like [<a href="http://apkyo.deviantart.com/art/Tote-Lavi-Kanda-89391732">THIS</a>]. And as summer special, they will be $10 per side with however many characters you want, and free shipping. But just so you know, it is hard to fit 10 characters on one side...<br />I can do almost anything you ask me for... comical, realistic, portrait, illustrative.. etc. Please note that if you ask me to draw certain pairings (-sasusaku-) that I do not 'support' of, I will probably refuse because there are high chances that it wont turn out good anyways..<br />[<a href="http://apkyo.deviantart.com/gallery/#Tote-Bags">Past tote bags</a>]<br /><br />PM me if you're interested!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm seriously going to laze around all summer =\ sigh... Two more months..<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I have this weird condition where I cant get anything done at home, or it gets hella procrastinated. Which is why I'm trying to find classes/workshops.

And it seems like the #1 most favorite thing for instructors to say is "stay closer to the curb when turning right". >3>"<br /><br />I havent had my cup of happy joy... <br /><br /><br /><br />Other then that.. I've no plans over the summer besides watching all of OnePiece and maybe KHR. But that's not gonna happen anymore since our internet recently got SLOWER and seems to break every now and then. oAo<br /><br />And I cant seem to get any artwork done.. sigh..<br /><br />o <b><a href="http://apkyo.deviantart.com/journal/19973046/">Commissions</a></b> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay! Fanime09 is over!!!<br />And I missed the preregistration for next year by a few minutes >.<!!! They didnt even announce when they're closing!! Now I'll have to pay extra for online preregistration (which I dont want to..)<br /><br />But this year turned out way better than last for me. Mainly because I had way more stuff to sell. I'm practically out of charms. Only a few rejects in which I will be selling for REALLY CHEAP next year. I'm surprised people bought bookmarks from me though!! I'm giving away the left over bookmarks next year. <br /><br />Much thanks to <a href="http://pixie-san.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/i/pixie-san.gif?1" alt=":iconpixie-san:" title="pixie-san"/></a> for bringing tape for me... and forgetting to pick it up.

All of them will be posted on dA when I get the chance to. Most of them are already uploaded. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>IF you commissioned me a large tote bag on Sunday of Tamaki, please send me a note or email to: aiceytime@gmail.com to confirm your mailing address!!</b><br /><br /><br /><sub><br />I'm still selling tote bags via online payment for:<br />$10/side for 4"x6" (small)<br />$20/side for 14"x13" (big)<br />Base price includes up to 2 characters.

But the good thing is that now I have small totes and they'll be up for commission and at Fanime. I'll do some pre-made tote bags too.<br /><br />Hopefully I'll be able to nag their super clearance sale later on. It's so much cheaper then.<br /><br /><br />One week to finish half a concentration portfolio... phuuuck..

                <description><![CDATA[ I am utterly screwed because I'm still not even close to done with a DECENT portfolio for art AP. Even though I've kept up with the deadlines, half the stuff I've done aren't related or looks like shit. Not to mention.. I REALLY HATE DRAWING CHESS PIECES.<br /><br />I've found out that flowy free-form stuff is more my style. Stiffness sucks.<br /><br /><br />As for <b>Fanime</b>, I'm going to try and see if I can go on the friday after school. I'll be sharing tables with <a href="http://poftd.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poftd.gif?1" alt=":iconpoftd:" title="poftd"/></a> (see her journal for the rest of our tablemates.. i dont remember XD)<br /><br />And like last time.. I'll be selling charms and earrings. There will be new and old ones. And I've done some anime-related ones too!! (some are hella hard to make though, so it's limited edition!!) Are there any special requests you guys want to see? I've got about a month to make any requested charms.<br />And sorry I havent been uploading pictures ^^".<br /><br />I'll also be doing tote bags again this year. Sadly I cant find any of the small totes, so I'll have to do big ones.. which costs more.. but carries more stuff?<br /><br />And since I had some leftover junk from last year, I'm putting out a basket of freebies for anyone who purchases stuff... yes I really want to get rid of them.<br /><br />o <b><a href="http://apkyo.deviantart.com/journal/19973046/">Commissions</a></b> ]]></description>

She told me if I was willing to go myself if she provided the money and plane ticket, of course I'd have to plan everything else. I told her that I cant go alone since I'm still underage, plus I cant even book a hotel. sigh...<br /><br />Then she kept telling me it would be better if I just go to SJSU. wow<br /><br />[/Edit]</sub><br /><br /><b>-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-</b><br /><br />[Edit: twilight]<br />I now officially have the right to laugh at anyone who says they want Edward Cullen, from Twilight, as their boyfriend.<br /><br />I just watched it.. and I must tell you that I could NOT handle watching the entire movie. I skipped every now and then. My first impression on Edward was... "wtf are you r*****ed?". Why does so many girls fawn over him???<br /><br />And just for my amusement, Sasuke is better than Edward.<br /><br />[/Edit]<br /><br /><b>-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-</b><br /><br />haha.. yeah.. for a lack of title...<br /><br />So I've pretty much been accepted to all the schools I applied to; I'm still waiting on one. Though I dont know where to go. My parents are iffy about me being so far away (like, out of state..), but they're also iffy about the environment the school is located (like San Francisco..). I kinda wanna goto MICA even though it's on the other side of this country. And I finally convinced my parents to CONSIDER it. I guess that's a good thing? But they're still iffy about it.<br /><br />Suggestions?<br /><br />--<br />My AP concentration is a B#*($H and I wish I'd thought of a better idea earlier.<br /><br />o <b><a href="http://apkyo.deviantart.com/journal/19973046/">Commissions</a></b> ]]></description>

All I know is that the moon outside is REALLY bright... and I haven't finished my homework.<br /><br /><sub>(Yes, this journal is completely random and has nothing to do with life)</sub><br /><br />I'm trying to get myself to doodle more and post more often.

Acrylics must love to mock me. They dont listen. =\ Even with the use of mediums.. they dont listen... They either dry too fast, or dont dry fast enough. sigh. I probably should just stick with digital, but for some reason, I feel like sticking with traditional media.<br /><br /><br /><br />Ah, I've ordered 11"x11" tote bags. (Didn't have enough money for 15"x14" totes.) So hopefully you'll start seeing more tote bag art from me.

I'm leaning towards 11"x11"x3" just because it's cheaper and its got an interesting size.<br /><br />I found the wonders of fabric ink... but I think I'm gonna stick with acrylic because it's easier to control.

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="content"><div class="title"><br />o <a href="http://apkyo.deviantart.com/journal/19973046/">Commission</a> o <a href="http://mlosity.rinicake.net">Website</a> </div><br /><br />So the trip down to LA/LCAD was LONG AND COLD. We passed by snowy mountains. Twas rather beautiful. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Too bad I didnt bring my camera!! Well, even if I did, my camera wouldn't be able to take any good pictures with the car moving.<br /><br />I have to say, LCAD is EXTREMELY SMALL. But I do like the surrounding environment. The school basically merges into the mountain. But downtown is really close and OMG there's so many mini museums and shops and all that. We saw one that had GORGEOUSLY VIBRANT COLORS O__O!! THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL. Another reason why I want to try oil paints.<br />Getting off topic, but I really like their life drawing class. They've got two rooms, one for short poses and another for super long ones where you can actually do a full painting and such. And dang, the women who posed for the short poses was AMAZING. Extreme poses!!!<br /><br />The guy who toured us around the school was actually the admissions director I met at the college fair, and he ran the life drawing class, so we got a pretour of classes that were only in session during the morning. (he remembered me!!!)<br /><br /><br />As for the LACMA museum. THAT PLACE IS HUUUGEEE. We saw their collection of lamp posts. I'd show you pictures, but no camera~<br />We actually didnt stay as long as I would've. 4 hours doesnt get you through a lot of the museum. I liked their design section. Especially those HUGE canvases of just splattered paint.<br />Saw some sculpture, jewelery, metal works (armor!), textiles, photography (though they werent that interesting to me since they were all b/w), a whole gallery of Vanity Fair, and then European paintings, which I liked more. I was actually going around and seeing if I could tell if the paintings or sculptures were related to any greek myths. There were a lot of Cupid and Psyche.<br /><br />But yeah.. I wanted to see more since I actually did not find the section of more modern day works. But I couldnt complain since I'm not the one driving.<br /><br />Did some christmas shopping on our way back.. More clothes.. And I found me a summer coat... >.>" Even though I was looking for a winter coat.. Maybe I should've bought that giant sweater...<br /><br /></div><br /><sub>Things to do...<blockquote>. xmas painting<br />. *<a class="u" href="http://jeffk38uk.deviantart.com/">Jeffk38uk</a> art trade<br />. ~<a class="u" href="http://blobofboredom.deviantart.com/">Blobofboredom</a> art trade<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> full digital drawing<br />. paint and glaze all 40+ charms<br />. charm catalog</blockquote></sub><br /><br /><div class="small" align="center">Journal style by ~<a class="u" href="http://shatteredplastic.deviantart.com/">shatteredplastic</a>.</div> ]]></description>

I totally failed by not taking a picture of my latest commission before shipping it off.<br /><br />And I'm pretty sure I am a zombie right now. I got less than 3 hours of sleep last night. Stayed up to the wee hours of 4am working on my art ap concentration piece #1. And me being myself.. NEEDS at least 8 hours of sleep to be fully functioning. Usually I get around 7.<br /><br />I had to keep my alarm ringing to keep myself awake in the morning seeing how just a blink of the eye will make me fall right back to sleep.<br /><br />-------<br />Well finals is finally over. I think I did pretty good except for math. sigh.. I'll be sad if I fail math. The multiple choice part was a bummer since I barely studied that section. You would'a think multiple choice MATH would be easy... apparently not this one..<br /><br />And I thought for sure I'd fail the java programming final since I didnt study at all. Turns out it was pretty damn easy. I just didnt have enough time to make the final output round to the tenth without screwing up the code.<br /><br />-------<br />And now, I'm going on a trip down to LA and below on a small school-hop and visit LACMA.<br /><br />Hopefully I can make some decent drawings on my trip down.<br /><br /></div><br /><sub>Things to do...<blockquote>. xmas painting<br />. *<a class="u" href="http://jeffk38uk.deviantart.com/">Jeffk38uk</a> art trade<br />. ~<a class="u" href="http://blobofboredom.deviantart.com/">Blobofboredom</a> art trade<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> full digital drawing<br />. paint and glaze all 40+ charms<br />. charm catalog</blockquote></sub><br /><br /><div class="small" align="center">Journal style by ~<a class="u" href="http://shatteredplastic.deviantart.com/">shatteredplastic</a>.</div> ]]></description>

This time she decided to clean the floor... Now my room is arranged my for convenience since not only is it my bedroom, it's also my computer and art room. I do practically EVERYTHING (excluding bathroom needs) in my room. It also means I leave a lot of stuff on the floor...<br /><br />The day before I was working on a pastel drawing and omg... it makes a MESS. I dont have fixative at home so I decided to just leave it on my makeshift drawing table. Mom apparently didnt get the fact that pastel comes off REALLY easily. I guess she also didnt notice how dirty my makeshift drawing table is either...<br /><br />To get to the point, she placed one of my tote bag commissions on the table, part on the DRAWING ITSELF.<br /><br />I got extremely pissed cause the tote bag was WHITE, the pastel was DARK and I had already finished more than half of the tote bag.<br /><br />Good thing pastel comes off of fabrics.<br />Good thing I tested the durability of the paint on the bag too.<br /><br />If I had to start all over.. I'd be extremely pissed...<br /><br />So in the end, instead of being able to finish the tote bag... it's hanging outside to dry. And now I have to fix my pastel drawing cause parts got smudged by the bag... <br /><br />BIG SIGH. CAUSE I WAS DAMNED HAPPY TO FINISH THE FRIKKING DRAWING.<br /><br /></div><br /><sub>Things to do...<blockquote>. 2 birthday drawings<br />. xmas painting<br />. *<a class="u" href="http://jeffk38uk.deviantart.com/">Jeffk38uk</a> art trade<br />. ~<a class="u" href="http://blobofboredom.deviantart.com/">Blobofboredom</a> art trade<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> full digital drawing<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> large tote commission<br />. paint and glaze all 40+ charms<br />. charm catalog</blockquote></sub><br /><br /><div class="small" align="center">Journal style by ~<a class="u" href="http://shatteredplastic.deviantart.com/">shatteredplastic</a>.</div> ]]></description>

The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.<br /><br />If you wish for real-life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.<br /><br />Step 2.<br /><br />Surf around your friends list (or friends friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:<br /><br />If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.<br /><br />You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.<br /><br />There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.<br /><br />Step 3.<br /><br />The List:<br /><br />1. Bedlam South by Mark Grisham & David Donaldson (<a href="http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=0681497564">link</a>)<br /><br />2.

But then again.. they're all hella expensive.<br /><br />-----------------<br />So I went to the zee today for some sketching for about 2.5 hours. I wanted to do more but it was FREEZING and the animals were hiding from me. =\<br />I only got almost 4 pages of sketches... meh. The penguins turned the the best.<br /><br />Sigh.. first tries never do turn out that great... maybe next time I'll spend more time with one animal.<br /><br />A deer decided to pee and poo in front of us.. and then lick it... it was kinda awkward and funny...<br /><br />A total of 4 or so people commented on my sketches directly. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />One kid was trying to say something to me but I couldnt understand... eheheee... good thing her parents called her away otherwise I'd be standing there staring at her going "wuuut..."<br /><br />I was stalking a peacock..<br /><br /></div><br /><sub>Things to do...<blockquote>. 2 birthday drawings<br />. xmas painting<br />. *<a class="u" href="http://jeffk38uk.deviantart.com/">Jeffk38uk</a> art trade<br />. ~<a class="u" href="http://blobofboredom.deviantart.com/">Blobofboredom</a> art trade<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> full digital drawing<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> large tote commission<br />. paint and glaze all 40+ charms<br />. charm catalog</blockquote></sub><br /><br /><div class="small" align="center">Journal style by ~<a class="u" href="http://shatteredplastic.deviantart.com/">shatteredplastic</a>.</div> ]]></description>

Yes, photography is also my hobby. Most of them are taken at Santana Row.<br /><br />Our photography club (Life In Focus) had a field trip to Santana Row to take pictures. Unfortunately, we got stopped by the cops and they were all "you cant take pictures here if you don't have a media license!!". >__>" Oh well.<br /><br />I still got some good shots anyways.<br /><br />--<br /><br />I was hoping to get some reference pictures for my next AP art project..

Now many of you will say 11pm isnt all that late, but I am fr1111king tired right now since I didnt get a good night sleep last night.<br /><br />But I still have math...<br />and lit...<br />and sadly art AP...<br /><br /><br />I've yet to come up with a concentration idea for art ap... sigh.<br /><br />And the plan is due tomorrow...<br />so is my lit essay test...<br />and my math test...<br />and I want to sleep..<br /><br /><br />and yes, I am procrastinating. Mainly because I'm sick of looking at numbers and letters and lines in general that are trying to teach me something.<br /><br />---<br /><br />Wait.. I think the main point of this journal was something else...<br /><br />So I'm deciding on making a series of animation clips or 'mini movies' using the style that I created at csssa...<br />Anyone got any ideas of what I should make?<br /><br />The ideas so far:<br />- the epic adventure of cins to Michaels... (i forgot what my friend called it exactly. Exactly what it says.. but with more epicness?)<br />- intro (a zoom adventure through a battleground)<br />- flash (sequence of various frozen scenes of an assassin/thief in the scums. It's more of an intro to a character.)<br />- art demolition (i couldnt think of a better name, but I've had this idea ever since the end of csssa. the building blocks of society--why we need art)<br />- bigger than life (a person... very tiny person, in the "big" world. where everything is over sized. Though I might make this into a flip book instead...)<br /><br />I think of very lame titles....<br /><br /></div><br /><sub>Things to do...<blockquote>. 2 birthday drawings<br />. xmas painting<br />. *<a class="u" href="http://jeffk38uk.deviantart.com/">Jeffk38uk</a> art trade<br />. ~<a class="u" href="http://blobofboredom.deviantart.com/">Blobofboredom</a> art trade<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> full digital drawing<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> large tote commission<br />. paint and glaze all 40+ charms<br />. charm catalog</blockquote></sub><br /><br /><div class="small" align="center">Journal style by ~<a class="u" href="http://shatteredplastic.deviantart.com/">shatteredplastic</a>.</div> ]]></description>

So I pulled out all of my finished artwork pieces along with figure drawing stuff that would actually FIT in my portfolio. Turns out, most of my stuff really sucks (in my eyes). And all my more interesting artworks are too big to fit the damned portfolio.<br /><br />And I REALLY wanted to have the newest assignment we did in class as part of my portfolio... too bad it was too wide. And my teacher wouldn't be happy if i cropped or folded it. (even if it's just blank space)<br /><br /><br />So I decided to go portfolio hunting or at least plastic envelope hunting... and failed. badly. I had to take the bus to get around... and unfortunately, google maps gives me times that are 10+ minutes off. And then I got off on the wrong station when coming home (two stops too early) and ended up having to walk a lot more than I wanted to. sigh...<br /><br />Commissions are delayed until... Sunday probably.. while I try to whip up another piece for my portfolio like right now D:<br /><br />Good thing this is just reviews and not the actual to be sent to colleges as part of the application >.<"<br /><br /></div><br /><sub>Things to do...<blockquote>.[5%] *<a class="u" href="http://jeffk38uk.deviantart.com/">Jeffk38uk</a> art trade<br />. ~<a class="u" href="http://blobofboredom.deviantart.com/">Blobofboredom</a> art trade<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> full digital drawing<br />.[25%] =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> large tote commission<br />.[7%] paint and glaze all 40+ charms<br />. charm catalog</blockquote>If I owe you something, please tell me!!

Literally I mean. It's so hot in there especially with all those computers that I bet some people are starting to sweat... and gawd it sticks >.<!!! augh. And the teacher keeps ignoring me!!! I had to trap him within my computer area to get my assignment checked off.<br /><br /><br />And I had personal problems with other people in one of my other classes.<br /><br />--<br />I finally remembered to ask about applying to deanza for art classes (animation =O ) and got all the paperwork and stuff.. And then find out that the classes I want are FULL. Or they correspond with school. SAD.<br /><br />So I have no idea how I'm going to finish my portfolio before college apps are due D:<br /><br />------------------------------------<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" />-----------------------------------------<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><sub>Things to do...<blockquote>.[5%] *<a class="u" href="http://jeffk38uk.deviantart.com/">Jeffk38uk</a> art trade<br />. ~<a class="u" href="http://blobofboredom.deviantart.com/">Blobofboredom</a> art trade<br />. =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> full digital drawing<br />.[15%] =<a class="u" href="http://th3dark0n3aceofspade.deviantart.com/">th3dark0n3AceOfSpade</a> large tote commission<br />.[7%] paint and glaze all 40+ charms<br />. charm catalog</blockquote>If I owe you something, please tell me!!

The four of us who went to Innerspark this summer got him to critique our work. And DAMN was he harsh. (to be expected eh?)<br /><br />He said he liked my aggressiveness in painting and my various use of media. And I think those were the only good points he said. D:<br /><br />Kept telling me to do more observational drawings, get my anatomy proportions right, which I have been working on, draw more face, hands, and feet since they're the hardest (except I cant during life drawing sessions cause I cant SEE. yeah, bad eyesight does a biggy sometimes.), and draw BIG. As in using a huge canvas/paper. And... that is very inconvenient for me. Cause I have no space and it'll cost me... IM POOR.<br /><br />Anyone have any possible tips for me? And please dont say "practice more, draw yourself," etc etc. cause that's already in my mind and it's boring the #*$(@ out of me. My neighborhood is pretty damn boring to do any landscape pieces. I start to crap out when I loose inspiration in what I'm drawing/painting.<br /><br />I wish I had big buckets of paint so I wont be obliged to be so conservative with my tubes of acrylics...<br /><br /><b>ShoutOuts</b><br /><a href="http://imnickle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/m/imnickle.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconimnickle:" title="imnickle"/></a> He's got great photography works.

And I'm already missing the freedom, the place where parents cant nag at you, the dorm that doesnt have my superb pc, and all the amazing artworks hanging around in the galleries.<br /><br />Can anyone believe that my mom was more worried about the money (to pay back ~<a class="u" href="http://alis-volat-propiis.deviantart.com/">alis-volat-propiis</a> for carpooling) instead of me once I got back? She didnt even ask how my time was at csssa first!!! And she kept nagging and nagging. Even during lunch.<br />That bugged me so much I decided to ignore her.<br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------<br /><br />On the side note, CSSSA was great.

I'm hoping to upload better quality pictures of those artworks, but I doubt that's gonna happen since I've got horrible lighting in my room and everything is extremely huge for the scanner...<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Oh yeah.. check this out: <a href="http://csssadigitalmedia.com/media/cindy">[link]</a> <br /><br /><br />And that ends my blurb.

I literally spent all the money I brought. ahaha.. Two of the items I got were presents. And then I had this obsession with asian stationary. I like the oriental sizes instead of american. So since the B5 binders were on sale (like super cheap) I decided to get one of those, and a B5 clear pocket file notebook thingie. It works well as a mini portfolio. I saw like.. A4+ sized portfolio-like binders.. I think I'll get that next time for a portfolio review or something..<br /><br />I wanted to get a mechanical pencil.. but.. ahaha.. no money. They were extremely expensive.. (well no duh..) I got a eraser there. Wanted to see if they had any good erasers. Turns out.. they've had the best eraser I've owned so far. Mono = <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />I ended up not getting the fabric paint set that I wanted from my last trip.. But I will get it next time!!! Hopefully...<br /><br />Also wanted to get DGM Reverse vol 2... sigh.. Didnt have enough for that too T__T"<br /><br />Oh, I also got origami paper. They had this really pretty paper for folding kimonos.. but it was a tad expensive.. ahh...<br /><br />---<br /><br />Well.. I've got like.. a few days to finish a damned artwork.. and I'm dieing just trying to think of an idea.<br /><br />I saw this watercolor book at borders and I really wanted to try out what the guy's trying to teach. A lot of masking and a lot of pouring colors straight onto the paper. The turn out is extremely awesome. Though I doubt I can make anything decent with that technique.<br /><br />But I'm basically all packed.. though I'm not sure how I'm gonna pack a mini trash bin.. hmm.. *throws it into the car* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><div align="center"><b><br /><br /><sub>[<a href="http://apkyo.livejournal.com">livejournal</a>] [<a href="http://apkyo.sheezyart.com">sheezyart</a>] [<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cinnopuu/">flickr</a>] [<a href="http://mlosity.rinicake.net">mutedARTS</a>]<br /></sub></b></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub><b><i>Kiriban: 10,000</i></b></sub><br />---------------------------------------------<br /><br />I am on a quest for a certain paint palette.<br />Info <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/zz030/20a/">Masterson Super Pro Palette</a>.<br /><br />It costs $17.21 + tax and shipping. But my visa gift cards are all used up. So I cant get it even if I have the cash. (I refuse to use my parent's CC because then they start nagging...)<br /><br />Therefor I will be EXTREMELY greatful if someone "gifts" the item to me. Meaning, you pay it with your CC/paypal but have it shipped to me. You will be paid back in full with either charms or tote bags (or a mix of both). And I will add a gift of appreciation.<br /><br /><blockquote><b>CHARMS:</b> $3 each.

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub><b><i>Kiriban: 10,000</i></b></sub><br />---------------------------------------------<br /><br /><sub>My relatives gets really annoying sometimes. And I really hate weddings. My gma got a broken nail and made a big deal out of it. Yeah it bled... but she also forcefully made it bleed more.. >_>"<br /><br /><br />I decided to go to the wedding rehearsal today.. which later came with dinner. At the end, my dad was like.. "you shouldn't have came". When my mom came home she said the same thing. And they both said that I shouldn't join them (them meaning my relatives and dad since mom has work on weekends) for lunch tomorrow too. My dad's reason was "you dont like that restaurant anyways", and my mom's reason was something on the lines of bothersome and something against the relatives.<br /><br />And they wonder why I'm so disrespectful. They allow my little cousins to go.. so why not me. I wonder. I REALLY do wonder. And it's always me. They've never said that to my bro.<br />They always say, it's not good to lie especially towards family and relatives. Guess what, that's complete BULLSHIT. My dad lies so much about me just to make himself look better cause I'm the daughter. My grandma asked if I wore the sandles she bought but gave to me. I answered no. She said that if I didnt like them, then she'll take them back. My dad was all "oh, she treasures it too much to wear because it's such a high quality brand" uhh.. shit shit and more shit? Truthfully, I hate those type of sandles cause they're freaking ugly. And I dont care about brand cause mine is 100x better, way more stylish, and it was CHEAP. My grandma thinks "the more expensive, the better quality". That is complete bullshit?<br /><br />And my dad asks why I dont "bond" with him. Jee.. I wonder why.. maybe those lies would help answer the question.<br /><br />I like being myself. Even if I am on the stupid, independent, unsocial side. It's better than having someone else tell others who you really am.<br /><br />So just a little bit about myself since I'm in the mood of blowing off some steam.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I am not as nice as I seem.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I do not like talking to people I dont know. Especially elders.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I am not that great of an artist. I dont even have that many pieces of artworks. If you ask me to present my 5 best artworks.. I'll tell you "I only have sketches or unfinished work"<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I really do not have a sense of creativity.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I am stupid. No seriously.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I suck at communication.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I absolutely hate phone calls.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Actually.. it seems like I dislike talking altogether. <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> I HAVE VERY VERY POOR MEMORY. I forget things VERY easily unless it's noted down somewhere. Even if I recite things over and over, I WILL forget some, if not all, within the span of 12 hours.<br /><br />And this ends my rant. If you want to know anything else about me, ask away. I will try to answer to the best of my abilities.<br /></sub><br />==============================================<br /><blockquote>In other news...<br />I've decided to not start up a shop until next year. Meaning <b>I will not be selling stuff online.</b><br />Cause really, I dont have a way to receive money. My mom's paranoid about paypal and she says checks and money order are too annoying for "little stuff like charms". And most people arent willing to send cash due to the possibilities of it being stolen.<br /><br /><b>Reservations on any charms or totes for fanime 09</b> goes to friends only (including online friends) who are attending the con. You may request certain charms and I will make extras of them, but they will not be reserved.<br /></blockquote><br /><br /><div align="center"><b><br /><br /><sub>[<a href="http://apkyo.livejournal.com">livejournal</a>] [<a href="http://apkyo.sheezyart.com">sheezyart</a>] [<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cinnopuu/">flickr</a>... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub><b><i>Kiriban: 10,000</i></b></sub><br />---------------------------------------------<br /><br />I'm currently in despair... HOW DID I MAKE MY BUNNY CHARMS!!! wahh... I've been molding and molding and molding.. yet it doesnt turn out the same. It's not the same as my old bunnies. T__T" In fact.. they're a whole lot uglier.. D:<br /><br />What I'm trying to remake: <a href="http://apkyo.deviantart.com/art/Bunny-Charms-67932074">[link]</a><br /><br />===<br /><br />I got a request for charms and totes recently.. So I might find out a way to get an online shop/catalog to work. I was only thinking of selling at cons (fanime only) but if people are interested, I can open up an online shop. Course.. it'll be a pain to manage...<br /><br />Anyone have tips/suggestions/comments for online shops?<br /><br /><sub>bwahh.. I need to restock on supplies.. fanime ate all my supplies x_x</sub><br /><br />========<br /><br />My summer art school is coming up in like.. 2.5 weeks.. and I havent gotten a piece of artwork for the student showcase yet.. wahh I'm so doomed. But I've got a terrible art black along with artist drawing block (meaning my hand refuses to draw period). I havent been doing my gaia commissions and art trades... which is horrible D:<br /><br />And since it's summer, there's really nothing for me to do. And my neighborhood is THAT boring. So I've been making a bunch of charms. In batches of 10. Though.. I cant seem to think of any new charm designs. These are all old ones.

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub><b><i>Kiriban: 10,000</i></b></sub><br />---------------------------------------------<br /><br />I love editing journals and adding more shits to it...<br />Well for anyone who cares, I'm actually going to update my LJ (that I've neglected for how long..) and post other random shitz that's not worthy of being posted here.<br /><br />LJ: <a href="http://apkyo.livejournal.com">[link]</a><br /><br />And.. uhh.. (crapiforgotomgdamnthisbadmemorybrainofshi--ohiremembernow)<br />I might move accounts. I'm getting sick of "apkyo" and might change it to "cinnopuu". That is.. if I'm not lazy enough. (Actually, i doubt it'll ever happen)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />Mommy came home from Taiwan today. She got me a <i>25 watercolor tube set</i>!!! And they were HELLA CHEAP. I cant wait to try them out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> But first I'll need to get a bigger paint pallet. And a flat angled watercolor brush...<br /><br />I also got this block of clay since Mom knows I do clay stuff (charms). Not sure how well it'll work compared to sculpey and premo... But I'll try those out too.<br /><br />I found out that cellphone straps at Michaels costs.. SO MUCH. Does anyone know of a place where I can buy bulk cellphone straps for hella cheap? (less than 22cents per strap) I know 3 Beads and a Button sells them in a pack of 24 for $5.50.<br />Ahahaa, I'm prepping for fanime 09 already? Well, my goal for 09 is to have at least 100 charms since they're way more popular than my crapass art.<br /><br />===============================================<br /><b>Full fanime summary thingie thing can be found at <a href="http://poftd.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poftd.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoftd:" title="poftd"/></a>'s journal!!<br />Since she's able to recollect events better than me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /></b><br /><br />A blast. Way better than TOA con. And WAY bigger too. I got a decent amount of sales for a first timer who didnt really have much to offer. Met a TON of great artists like...<br /><a href="http://yooani.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/o/yooani.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyooani:" title="yooani"/></a> (who *<a class="u" href="http://poftd.deviantart.com/">poftd</a> and I shared a table with!!!)<br /><a href="http://fongmingyun.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/o/fongmingyun.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfongmingyun:" title="fongmingyun"/></a> (who was two tables next to ours)<br />and <a href="http://lychi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/y/lychi.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlychi:" title="lychi"/></a><br />(sorry I'm really bad at remembering names.

"wtf?" about this probability thing with the high chance of  me being emo for a while... Well.. SAT testing is this Saturday. (Why am i not studying at this current time of typing up a journal? Because  my brain overheated..) I definitely want to get a high score this time. Of course, if I do poorly, or went completely "brain-fart" then I'll be quite dejected.<br /><br />Another thing.. Well, the results for the summer CalArts School comes out "first week of may". And that so happens to start this week. I know for a fact that the artwork I sent in weren't my best, and that's what's been getting me this very... bad.. feeling that I didnt get accepted.<br /><br />I BLAME MY ARTISTIC IMPROVEMENT-BLAST TO COME AFTER I SENT IN THE APPLICATION T___T!!!<br /><br />sigh...<br /><br />---------------------<br /><br />Other then that... hmm.. well.. I've gotten hooked on the song: Children of the World. In which I'm basing my current art project on. Since we HAVE to include an inspiration source... Well.. what I drew come to my totally randomly.. and I liked it.. so I ended up browsing the internet for something related to the picture to use as the "inspirational" explanation. Ended up with Children of the World.<br /><br /><div align="center"><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><b><u>Art WIP's</u></b></div><br /><sub><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />-Fanime <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" />-School <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" />-Contests<br />(I doubt I'll get all of them done.

                <description><![CDATA[ So I just found out that UCSC offers a full degree program in computer game design when I was browsing college shiz. So now I'm contemplating on what I should do now..<br /><br /><sub>Go try and get into UCSC:<br />- study like hell for SAT2's, possible subjects: US History, Math IIc, chinese w/ listening, and biology<br />- add physics to next year's schedule (if possible) and drop yearbook..<br /><br />Stay with choices of SJSU and other csu schools..:<br />- stay with current path chosen...</sub><br /><br />Anyone got any suggestions/comments?... I'm getting quite interested in the computer game design. Not so much anymore for graphic design...
