                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone!<br /><br /><br />It really has been a long time since I've written on here... even more is that I haven't even updated nor uploaded anything new. I don't even know If I'll update work this summer but I can assure you I'll probably draw something this summer. If you want I could put it on my Photobucket account (because it might not be good enough to upload).<br /><br />School last Spring went really good, I got a 3.5 GPA (the biggest GPA that wasn't during a summer). However, I think the only reason for that was all the hours I put in. I'm not smart. I'm just a hard worker when things need to get done <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Currently I'm waiting on some internship opportunities for this summer. Hopefully I can gain experience and a little money for college this Fall. I have about a half almost saved up.<br /><br />That pretty much sums up what happened since Spring.<br /><br />~~<br /><br />As another note, if any of you still want to read the rest of this journal, I'm pretty optimistic, but recently I noticed... that some people seem to not want to talk to me; actually, I think its more they want to avoid me for something I did. That's fine. But can I know the reason at least? I don't know what I said or what I did wrong to you guys, so can you tell me, by NOTE or email or even here out in the open? I don't mind. If it's really my fault you guys deserve an apology and I'll make amends in some way, and if you really want I guess we'll keep a distance if that makes it better for you. But again, can you please tell me? Ignoring me without giving me a chance to know will only make me guess at what it may be, and most likely it'll be a 100 times worse than what it probably is... I am very harsh in taking blame on myself for any action that may cause difficulty towards others.<br /> <br />So can you please consider it? ^^ Thank you!<br />I'll continue to be optimistic the best I can and do the right things.<br />To see people living happily is the only way I can be even remotely close to happiness.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ >>>>>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<<<<<<<<br />>>>> <i>Deep Thoughts of the Child that dwells in my Heart</i> ~~~~~<br />>>>>~~~~~~ <i>May I find Guidance and Innocence</i> ~~~~~~~<br />>>>>>>>>>~~~~ <i>In a world that tars the Good</i> ~~~~~~~~<br />>>>>>>>>>>>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<<<<<<<<<<<br /><br />=======================================>><br /><b>>>>>> Final Thoughts >>>>>></b><br />==================================>><br /><br />Bad Habits...Die...Hard. Seriously,... bad language, stupid addictions like smoking (not me of course but other people) or compulsively eating all are a pain to get rid off. I have heard from wise people that if you can control yourself sincerely for 40 days straight, the force of your addictions will go away... but I'm guessing you gotta be determined and focused all the way--- just like the phrase: If there is a will, there is a way...hmm...interesting. So my addictions: occasional bad language, some anger, compulsive eating (when stressed), acting emotionally need to be fixed. I need to be firm... like a Guardian protecting with dignity and honor, with a sword! Yeah!... I shall work towards that day! Protecting my family, my friends and everyone under justice, humility, compassion, and truth. How I'll pave the path is unknown but that is my newest goal in life. I pray for this success. I pray for your habits to go away and you reach the heights you've always dreamed of. <br /><br />Finally, I came online (Meebo) today... and maybe my eyes and/or my perspective is deceiving me. A girl special to me was on...and just when I appeared online, to perhaps start a little conversation which I'd hope would end with her going to sleep, a few seconds later, she suddenly went offline. Coincidence? Probably, but sometimes...does it seem she's evading me, or am I reading to much into it. What does she actually feel about me? Was she joking at me the few days ago we spoke after months? Or was she actually telling me something...different?<br /><br />There is little hope if she loves me, even if I love her, because we are in a situation impossible for peace: family-wise, beliefs-wise (religion), although we seem similar in our passion and compassion with the world and the beauties that lie within it, and the problems yet to be solved. Even if she were to convert in the 2 years time, it may just as well end the same way as with <i>her</i>, the pure evidence, aside from so many family evidence that it's better to marry someone with more experience in the religion to ensure a truthful follower in the path of righteousness one chooses to follow. She is the only one left in my heart who makes me more hesitant to accept another women for marriage (though I will force myself if I must without hesitation) in the future. She is the only women I still ask and ask myself again... the "What if?". Too shy to tell my family from the disadvantage, and the border of defense--- this Internet, my only source of communication with her--- because I cannot figure out a way to meet with her which will not pain her and her family (I always consider that) and because I don't have permission I suppose, it all looks...bad.<br /><br />She made me shake nervously and almost cry when she said that maybe I'd have to be her <i>prince on a white horse</i>. I don't understand. I still can't figure which path I must take. Must I say Good Bye as I've initially planned, what will it's consequences do, or should I say it another way, OR, should I keep the door open for her even when the chances of success being almost none, including her loving me.... Heh... I even made a project for her when we first met, and it's not even complete yet. When it does, a new step must await as well. <br /><br />Sometimes, I question if I'll ever get married... for sometimes, I criticize that I should be alone as punishment for past wrongs or something. I just want to be a Guardian and see people grow up happily and safe. That seems to be my duty in this world and should end as being a Protector. Lot's of work to be done...<br /><br />Thanks for those who've been reading my journals, I appreciate it, a lot, and I hope my constant philosophizing and over-elaborate details don't leave you hanging.<br /><br />Take care, and may peace and blessings always be with you, your family and peers. Do good always, and follow the right path with sincerity.<br /><br />=========================================<br />~~~~~~~~<b>DECLARATION OF GUARDIANSHIP</b>~~~~~~~<br />>>>>>>~~~ <i>I vow to live my life a Guardian of Good</i> ~~~~~<br />>>>~~ <i>Protect the Innocent and encourage Innocence</i>~~~~~~<br />>>>~ <i>Follow the Five Pillars in Honor, Humility and Dignity</i>~<br />>>~ <i>Destroy all wrong habits, encourage all good habits</i>~~~~~<br />>> <i>Support those in need with all my skills and money</i>~~~~~~~<br />>>>~ <i>Passing and walking the message in all aspects</i>~~~~~~<br />>>>>>>>>>~~~~ <i>I give up my life in this path</i>~~~~~<br />>>>>>>>... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Hello Everyone</b>,<br /><br /><br />~~~<br />Thank you for reading some of my other journals and stuff, including those who have been so kind to give my siblings some feedback on their art works. It's not only them who are appreciative but so am I. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ~ <br /><br /><br />~~~<br />So, Ramadan is finally over; I completed 26/30 days we were meant to be fasting, so I will be making up then other 4 fasts possibly on every Tuesday and/or Thursday when I can this coming month(s). Other than that, the experience was really good, and it helped me keep track of things and trace back on some of the things I overlooked, like some of my bad language, and other habits like compulsively eating when I get stressed(I feel embarassed even mentioning that). >_< ~ But, well the habits are still not all gone. Unfortunately I didn't try hard enough, so I have to get my hands tied and well, get these habits under control, and I have some ideas in mind how I can have that happening. Don't worry I won't share with you these boring stuff. Just saying. In the end though, I'm happy and it was fun. ^_^<br /><br /><br />~~~<br />Now,... there is the art-related stuff; The reason any of you may even be reading this I suppose (I mean this is an artistic website for a reason). I know right now I have a LONG list of stuff I got to do; Half of what I can't remember right now unless I take some time remembering and re-listing the things I got to do. I assure you, I WILL do that though, otherwise I won't come even close to finishing off those works and endanger the trust I have with people. Hmm. [Optimistic] Recently I colored some drawings for practice though! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I won't post up them here though for some reasons, but I want to be honest in that I haven't really improved... except in trying some clever light-manipulations that does in fact add some illusion of dimension... if you catch my drift. Other than that, I haven't had much share of practice recently. I want to get back to it soon though. <br /><br /><br /><br />~~~<br /><b>{Alright what will I do next?}</b> To conclude and apologize for wasting your time, in the next coming weeks or months, I will set the goal to add new works and throw in some colored works (finally right ^^?). I already planned to finish contest works so far-- one of them might win a subscription. If he's reading this though, Mr. Dragon-lover (you know who you are <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ), I request that if I do, not saying I will, win, I would like to give it to someone who will need it most, if that is alright. So as usual, you know, I don't want nor need a subscription really, but I am willing to participate to allow someone else to win.

                <description><![CDATA[ Do any of you know the month of Ramadan?<br /><br />It's a religious observation between Muslims who fast before dawn until sunset (which can be very accurate based on the marvels of modern science) for 30 days. The first day of Ramadan is marked by a full-moon sighting in the sky on the 9th month on the Islamic calendar (which I have yet to still learn much about). During the days of fasting, a muslim brother or sister wakes up before the daily Fajr prayers to eat to their hearts content while making the intention to fast for that day. Then after the ascribed time, the person stops eating and prays Salat-ul-Fajr, the first prayer where the fasting starts. At around Sunset, usually about 12+ hours later, the person opens their fast usually with a date (a nice, sweet fruit) with a very important dua' before eating it. After opening the fast and enjoying the meal with the family (it's nice to be with family) we pray Salat-ul-Magrib, the 4th prayer. (We must finish ALL PRAYERS for the fast to be accepted, and the fast is void with things as simple as bad language or any sort of violence or anger) After that prayer, Muslims finish the 5th prayer Salat-ul-Isha and attend the Tarawih prayers for every single day of fasting in Ramadan. In Tarawih, Muslims from all over come to prayer and finish at least 1 part of the Q'uran for each specific day of fast. There are 30 Parts in the Q'uran for 30 days of Ramadan; Isn't that awesome? Anyways, this continues with great challenge but not so much difficulty is you put your heart into it. It is then rewarded with a wonderful celebration called Eid, which is essentially supposed to be a Muslim holiday where we attend Eid prayers and enjoy beautiful talks and socialization, presents, etc. It's a great time of the year! Remember, fasting puts you in the shoes of those who go hungry everyday and humbles you to always be grateful to what you have and share what has been given to you.<br />----<br /><br />I'm participating in Ramadan this month and I hope I can rid myself of the bad habits that plague me (I'm far from perfect)and hope some of my wishes for everyone come true. Who knows what this effort will lead to. I'm excited and ready to complete all 30 days and strengthen my spirituality and soul to be a better person. ^^<br /><br />----<br /><br />As for dA related information and other such things regarding upcoming projects, artwork, and even personal life (which I usually like to decline to state) it shall come soon in the next following update.<br /><br />I pray for everyone in this time for great blessings upon them and their families and hope for them to recieve great strength in these difficult times in front of us. Especially to those hardworking parents out there doing their best to bring up their children. Good luck!<br /><br />----<br /><b>P.S IMPORTANT</b><br /><br />Hey! I just wanted you to know my little brother, Inaam has just joined dA and I'd like you all to greet him with warmth and kindness. Here he is! <a href="http://inubabu11.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inubabu11.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinubabu11:" title="inubabu11"/></a> ~ He's a very talented young boy who has developed fantastic skills in such a short time. He is the mastermind behind many of my technical pieces and he's got some beautiful work here to show you. Inaam is active in the KalOnline community if any of you play that game, he gives excellent advice. He is not only the youngest of my direct family, but also one of the most gifted and intelligent. I humbly ask you all to give him a little more attention and love. If you can see anything in my work, he's got better in very unique ways. He is very dear to me like my little sister Noori ~ <a href="http://noorichanwazhere.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/o/noorichanwazhere.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnoorichanwazhere:" title="noorichanwazhere"/></a> ~ whom I think may just become the next big photographer one day <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> hehe. ^_^. So go and click on them, you guys and check out their works. You won't be disappointed ^^. If you have any more friends out there on deviantART, please introduce them to my siblings. They need a great foundation to start and grow, as we've all been given, ne? Peace and blessings to all of you who've sticked with me until the end. <3 Take good care of yourselves! <br /><br /><br /><b>END IMPORTANT NOTE HERE</b><br />~~~~~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello my dear siblings,<br /><br />Yes, as many a time I continuously come back and say, I am still around, and ironically on deviantART stealthily mainly through finding something that is usually not there. <br /><br />Honestly, I will reply to messages and artworks (of all kinds mostly) soon enough, spare that I re-motivate myself, if any of you are even interested. <br /><br />I will be taking Summer classes this year, so it shouldn't be too surprising that I will, even less, reply and comment and such so frivolously as I used to do (at a time); Noting me is much faster. <br /><br />I don't have much to say or give any of you besides that I do care, still and continuously for all of you in all your utmost kindness and patience with me, and just trying your best; It really helps me find more effort in my smile and determination. <br /><br />Even though, I know, there are amongst you all people who have some sharp hatred or dislike to me, I apologize for making them feel that way, and I seek both forgiveness from them as well as also wishing like the rest of you wonderful people, the peace and blessings to you and your families; I know quite a few of you are in hard times as well, so that is a note for you out there.<br /><br /><br />Since this journal entry seems to serve little purpose but refresh my status up-until-now, I've decided to perhaps add a topic for any of you who just wish to empty IT out of your system:<br /><br /><b>Topic(s) of Interest</b>: <i> Would any of you like to share some of the experiences, both painful and inspiring, that you believe have caused you to be who you are now? If you could go back, would you change those experiences? Finally, do you believe that some of the failures in your experiences with 'love' (such as like-liking a said person) have impacted you in a positive/negative direction in your life to make you a better person altogether?</i><br /><br /><br />So there you go, feel free to express yourself; I am here to listen and will be most appreciative to learn from all of you out there. Please feel not afraid, no-one will make fun of you or point fingers (so long as I am around). So go for it, reach your goals in life,<br /><br /><b>And reach the peaks of satisfaction and peace, to a better and full purpose.</b><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Hey! It's a New Update!!</b><br />
<br />
<small><br />
<b>I'm </b>sorry about the lack of updates recently ^__^.<br />
I am planning on posting an interview every week/month if I can starting this month if I am able to, or early next month <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br />
<br />
<b>Aside</b> from that, I'm gonna start posting other things to utilize this deviantArt account to the  most of its ability with/without a subscription. This will hopefully include a Friends and Club list, Art Projects List, Support to Artists Abound! List, and soon a little work around to not having the ability to post pictures. Of course that won't go against dA policy since it shall be creative (or silly) but you'll see. If it works well, I'll try to use that as banners for my journals, including the Lists and all to look spiffy. I think if it works even better, you guys could sneakily do the same <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>So</b> Where did I get such an inspiration you ask? From Rawan-chan's journal of course! Rawan-chan is <a href="http://mentalbox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/mentalbox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmentalbox:" title="mentalbox"/></a> The pipe-thing on the journal is incredible, though you probably need to use a resolution of 800 x 600 or 1024 x 748 or something larger to see it correctly. No biggy ^__^. I'll do certain tests at home when I'm done and let you guys know what resolution is good for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>That's</b> pretty much all I have to say. My health is doing good and things are nice these days (usually are <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> ) though our weather is being very weird lately. Global Warming is the culprit I think!  Oh yes, before I leave you to the Quiz(zes) below, please pray for my little sister, Noori-chan <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> ==> <a href="http://noorichanwazhere.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/o/noorichanwazhere.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnoorichanwazhere:" title="noorichanwazhere"/></a> for her health isn't very good. She's been having fever for over 3 days! And the doctors think she has a blood infection. She's very scared and I'm very worried and praying <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pray.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /> Please offer your prayers or atleast think about her. It will surely make a difference ne? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> And also, wish her a Happy 15th Birthday!! ^o^ (I apologize if I'm asking much, but she needs the love <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/happycry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":happycry:" title="Tears of joy" /> ) She was so excited that day but couldn't celebrate it due to her fever. Luckily we cut her cake and sang for her during the weekend. She'll really appreciate it and love you more ^O^. She's very loving <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cuddle.gif" width="24" height="17" alt=":cuddle:" title="Cuddling up with someone close..." /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Thus</b>, take care my wonderful siblings! I hope to see you again soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> !<br />

Sincerely,<br />
Lovingly,<br />

(I'll notify you as soon as I finish this ^___^)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>QUIZ #2 :: || Are you a bad influence? ||</b><br />
<br />
If you go over 45, you're a bad influence.<br />
If you go under 15, chances are you live under a rock and have no life... even more harsh.<br />
<br />
<i>Rules</i><br />
*Total the number of things in each list you've done.<br />
* No need to say which ones.<br />
*If people really want to know they will grow the balls to ask.<br />
*If you got tagged, tag at least 3 people on your watch list.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Smoked- No.<br />
2. Consumed alcohol: No <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
3. Slept in the same bed with someone of the opposite sex: Once my sister was sick, so I slept next to her so she could go to sleep (poor girl) ^___^<br />
4. Slept in the same bed with someone of the same sex:- LOL. Yes, I share my Queen size bed with my little brother and some of my guy friends pick different sides of the bed (It's normal where we come from-- we share all we can and accommodate]<br />
5. Kissed someone of the same sex: Yes, My little baby brother on his forehead and cheek. Although he may now be like 13, he's still my little brother and sometimes it makes him feel more loved ^__^ [Though never on the lips XD]<br />
6. Had sex: - Absolutely Not. That comes after marriage <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />

8. Watched porn: When I was younger, me and my sis looked up Sailor Moon on a massive search engine. One link said 'Hentai' and we thought it was a new anime or something related to Sailor Moon. When the website came up, we all screamed, heart beat fast and closed the computer as fast as we could. Nothing after that though. Porn is retarded XD though some people enjoy the 'humor' in it? o.0?<br />
9. Bought porn: - No.<br />
10. Done drugs:- Absolutely not <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />

Thus, do any of you guys know, if I can validate my project with dA staff and send it today itself and still get the subscription bonus PLUS make sure that those children receive it? If not, can I just do some scanning and Photoshopping and have dA fold it up and give it to the kids? But I want to give them the original! how long does mail normally take? Anyone no anywhere I can send the card really fast? Post office?<br /><br /><b>EDIT!!</b><br />This is done!! ^____^<br /><br />(\=========================================/)<br /><br />Pending Projects:<br />1) Happy Birthday Mist! + Christmas Cards<br />2) CG Project #2 + Misty Fan Club Group Pic (Pokecomm)<br />3) Collaboration Project 2006 (look above)<br />4) B-day projects of others, and everything else <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />==========================================>><br /><br />That's pretty much it, I'm both happy and kinda stressed. So much stuff left to do XDD!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ===>UPDATE:<br />
I'm a Deviant Art Subscriber for 4 more days! I don't think it will matter me adding any more pictures but this is rather cool. I'll be looking around my page more these 4 days to see these features in action <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> Happy Birthday anyone I've missed recently!<br />
<br />
<br />
=================================<br />
Oye!! I'm in the mood to update <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Me and <a href="http://mistywishmaker.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/i/mistywishmaker.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="mistywishmaker" /></a> (and perhaps <a href="http://kofbusterwolf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/o/kofbusterwolf.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="kofbusterwolf" /></a> ) are thinking of a Winter Doujinshi of Ash and Misty (from Pocket Monsters) in a cute pokeshipping winter scenario. Mistywishmaker requires that to allow us to work on this project we need a few more "good" artists interested in this, and also Pokeshipping <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> to participate. Feel free to leave comments regarding this matter, and remember don't feel down that you can't do Backgrounds, because I and some of my other buddies can help do those for you. We need some artists with determination and a skill level just enough to be able to draw a decent Satoshi (Ash) and Kasumi (Misty) in a few poses. If you still need help, you can always contact me (at my email, or go on MSN). I'll do my best to try and help you here. I'm willing to do a lot of the work, but I'd love to have some feedback or ideas atleast. Remember, all those that contribute will be credited and I will make sure to do a CG for them or there choice (as long as it isn't suggestive or something I REALLY CANT DO~ get into detail later <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />). "Go out there and do something, even if it's a little". I know you'd all like to see something really cute and winter-like during such a inspiring season such as Winter ^___^<br />
<br />
====================<br />
<br />
Life issues: How will I help people enough? Am I doing enough already? What more things must/need to sacrifice for a change? These are a few questions I'm thinking about. I just hope things go well, as I'm always willing to help people. Many people have problems that just need a person's advice or care. I know my duties, and personally one of them is not leaving those people in the dust. If you guy's need anything feel free to ask me. I'm always listening, caring, and trying to help sooth your hearts and making you stronger <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys! <br />
<br />
<br />
=======================<br />
<br />
<small> This is my <b>first Journal entry</b> ever. I never knew it existed <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
Well, for the first entry, I think it's only proper introducing myself.<br />
<br />
I'm known as Tkinc or Tsuki-kun by people online. For specific reasons I won't give out my name right in public <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />. However, I'll certainly let you in on something. I'm 18. OOOohhhhh.  I'm still a pretty young lad. I started college about a year back and it's rather good. I hope to become an Electrical Engineer or somewhere down the line in Archetecutural, and of course, I love to draw, to write some stories, and create games. I also play lots of sports, and I'm getting good at most. I'm planning on learning Guitar, Flute, etc. But I'm rather good at Piano <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> Though only by memorization. I was never taught to read music or anything down the line there, but I learn REALLLY fast. In fact, I'm starting to pick up reading music with just some articles online <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />. It's all determination. Do your best, try what you can, and like a famous saying "Be Just (and) Fear not".  That is our goals in life no matter how much you want to fight against it. We were not born to be evil or killers, we were meant to take care of each other and do what's right. Why else do we feel guilty and can't sleep when we do something wrong? Because we just weren't created to do so. Don't get me wrong, being bad is really easy and good is hard, but the hardest path sometimes is the most meaningful, inspiring, andtruthful. These are the sentiments I give to you. All of you. All of my friends ^___^</small><br />
<br />
==============================<br />
<br />
Another thing. There's another interesting issue. Nowadays, Internet has become integrated with almost anything! Even so, people are finding and connecting with each other online. The thing is, what do you guys believe- Is is alright to meet a person you only met online and become friends, friends even stronger than you made in real life? I certainly believe you can but it's hard. But can't people think above the worries, that perhaps this person you connected to is the real thing? Someone to be trusted?<br />
<br />
 Sorry, but that was the dilemma I have and some people I know can't find a stable answer to. Am I doing/saying the right thing? I don't really know for sure, but I certainly don't think in BIASED ways ^___^<br />
<br />
==============================<br />
<br />
Is Drawing an international favorite or simply a random hobby by those who have initial skill? I think all people have a desire to express themselves and do all have, at one point, a love for drawing. It's just something, I believe has to do with the fact we want to express ourselves, our imaginary world. Oh those ignorant days of our youth when we didn't care about the problems of the world... Nostalgia Extreme.<br />
<br />
