[01 Jan 2020|12:00am] |
Hello all,
The fact that you are here probably means that I've just posted this, linked from my profile, or you are looking at my journal from the root URL.
This post is to make a few things clear after "mistakes" have been made and further considerations on my part as to what should be done about this journal of mine, along with whatever other web applications of similar nature.
1. I will lock my entries most of the time if I categorize them as work, school, rant, or any combination there of.
2. For the majority of the time, I will not lock entries regarding anime, doujinshi, sales, or any other topics not mentioned in the first statement.
3. If you are interested in keeping track of my life on the fandom front, feel free to add me to your friends list. However, this action might not be reciprocated. Please do not ask about this.
4. For those who know me personally and have known me for ages but have nothing to do with my obsessions, I will have to ask you to find me on FB instead. This is not the place meant for you for the sake of your well being and for the sake of mine.
Thanks for taking the time to read through all of this.

It's been a while since I wrote anything, because I keep a physical diary now. However as I'm clearing out ~1.5k worth of piled up deviations on my Deviantart account I can't help but to dive back into the mood of art and cosplay (my Deviantart is more of a gallery for my cosplay now because I am too lazy to draw).
Halloween is approaching! Because I was not around for AE09 I feel somewhat deprived of my cosplay experiences this year. As a tribute to a series that deserves much more attention than what it got, I am dressing up as Neuro this Halloween, full birdy head, horns and the like. Super ambitious, but let's hope I can make this happen on time! People don't understand why I have to start working on a costume 2 months in advance. Sadly they don't know the amount of effort required for this.
In the long term, looking at my user profile I realize last year's Halloween costume is still sitting at 85% completion and there are some there that haven't moved for a good year at least. On top of that I am considering even more ambitious ones after Neuro, namely:
1. Hrist Valkyrie (Valkyrie Profile 2)
2. Freya (Valkyrie Profile 2)
3. Noctis (FF Versus XIII)
4. Stella (FF Versus XIII)
Damn Noctis looks good in that suit! No wonder that clothing goes for sale for like 3000 USD.

| Out of country in June |
[13 May 2009|12:53am] |
I will be out of the country in June and will not be able to attend AE this year. I was hoping to check it out since it's at a much better venue but it's unfortunate. Will have to wait until the year after I guess.
And with so much going on in my life right now I am just not prepared to attend it anyway.

I can't believe it's been half a year since I've done this... After keeping a tighter watch on my spendings I realize I really am not saving much so some things (no matter how good they are) will have to go...

ごめんね皆！
Some may have noticed I've been absent for quite some time. I've had a difficult month of January and am still in midst of recovering.
其實結果我早已經有所預感。之不過聽到原來係咁0既原因同埋之前所發生0既事... 真係好唔甘心﹗但係唔甘心又點啊﹖失去0左0既機會就唔會有第二次。但係到最後俾我再講一次...
오빠... 아직도 좋아해.
いじょう！ It will be very rare for me to have 4 languages in the same entry in the future but it was fun typing this one =)
On an unrelated note, how come the yen appreciated so much! It's making my shopping difficult! =_= On the other hand maybe it's just the USD...

| ~Merry Christmas~ |
[25 Dec 2008|12:54am] |
Though I haven't been online much outside of work, I'd like to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Thank you for your Christmas (and D.Gray + PoT) card ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) glowinglotus! I received it just at the right time ^^ I had intended to send out cards myself this year but ended up working myself to death (not quite death but I was quite ill for the past few days).
In any case, I hope everyone can enjoy the holidays! I'm definitely having a white Christmas here, maybe a little too white for my liking. I'm sure we've had something like 2 feet of snow by now. I'm physically trapped at home by it ^^;

I feel like I've disappeared from the online community. As a matter of fact, what happened to my old habits of "boiling" anime's and drama's? Some things I thought would stay with me forever in the past I feel like I've just dropped them all.
Anyway, that's not the point. Some time in the future I swear I will catch up with everyone.
Recently been downloading music (Rain, Jay Chou, JJ Lin). I haven't listened to Chinese stuff for such a long time. Out of curiosity I downloaded Jay Chou's newest album because it's got the name of my sun sign: Capricorn XD I can't say I'm all too impressed. I think I kind of grew out of his music quite a while ago. I mean... there were some decent songs but not as captivating as before. JJ Lin's Sixology on the other hand... I also haven't listened to his songs for a while but from what I remember of his songs, it seems like he changed styles, and changed for the better? There were some pretty good songs in there.
A coworker also sent me the top 30 songs from the Oricon charts for some week in October and I went to dig up some information about those too.
Yesterday was much fun. I had dinner with a couple of my coworkers who I call "family". It's a very dysfunctional family mind you. Anyways we were unfashionably late and didn't get ourselves out until 12:30 ^^; We also bumped into another coworker of ours who was at a birthday party (and I probably knew 1/2 the people at that other table). The world is a small place.
After lunch today I'll have to start working on my other "full time job". Yes, I know, it's a Sunday.

Love Story is seriously the best song in that album.
I had it on repeat for a whole day.
After such a long time of not listening to his songs (or anything Korean for that matter), it was almost refreshing to find that he released a new album 3 days ago.

| Something from a magazine |
[12 Oct 2008|10:33pm] |
I still feel like working 2 full time jobs but today I went to get my hair coloured. While sitting there with a magazine in my hand, I started reading about the cover story. It was about 2 stars in HK and about their relationship. I must have had a very interesting smile on my face when I read this as I related it to someone... Here's what I read:
( To stop a guy from playing around... )
I wouldn't have been so amused with what I read if it hadn't actually made me relate to someone I knew.

| Zettai Kareshi |
[10 Sep 2008|10:10pm] |
I like... RARELY watch Japanese dramas. I'd say this is the second one I watched entirely. I saw an episode of it while in Japan. Actually I didn't know the drama's title at first but the whole robot thing made me think of Zettai Kareshi. Then I found out it actually was Zettai Kareshi ^^;
Anyway, I don't know their real names so I'll just use their character names. Soushi's character is completely different from the manga ^^; And Night was so stiff I didn't really like his character much (then again, he is a robot so there's not much we can do there). And the drama was okay throughout until the very end. I cried a bucket again ^^; At the end I appreciated Night's character that much more. He loosened up, wasn't robot like anymore and was really cute ^^/ To be honest, comparing the drama and the manga, I actually prefer the drama's story more.

| Best of Ranka photo shoot |
[07 Sep 2008|09:04pm] |
I've picked out some of the best photos from that photo shoot from each of the 2 photographers.
( Ranka cosplay ahead )
For the rest of the photos, please visit my cosplay website.
I don't know when, if at all, I will get my hands on the Tomoyo ones... Sadly I was the least impressed with myself during the Tomoyo photo shoot.

| Another random cosplay picture |
[26 Aug 2008|01:18am] |
I am so grateful to all those who helped me out with my photos on Sunday (directly or indirectly). Here's one picture that turned out particularly well... This was the hardest pose of the entire photo shoot. I'm glad it didn't show my face because I was in some pain there (or perhaps that would have been perfect for this shot anyway ^^;) It's only physically possible to do so many things in real life LOL. We had no wind indoors either XD Oh, but the one major thing I was lacking was that hot body of his ahahhaa.
This is the pose I tried to attempt.
( And here's the real deal )
The darn wig is REALLY messed up. I am going to wash it out, cut and re-style the darn thing before going to my next photo shoot... There was always hair in my face no matter how I posed.
EDIT: I've posted the remainder of the cosplay pictures from this photo shoot on my cosplay website. Check out the rest of the pictures there =)

| Thoughts of AE2008 |
[24 Aug 2008|10:04pm] |
In all honesty I am extremely tired! I didn't actually do much that pertained to the convention itself other than go through the artist alley and the vendor's area. I'm glad to have met felys_sho, kurot, miko_piko and pockynomiko's friend (which I am so stupid for not having asked for her name) at the artist alley. There was also some other amazing artists there and I was really impressed in general.
The vendor's room this year was arranged very differently. In my opinion the layout's a lot better than what they had at SFU. sekitx2, seeing that line up on Saturday, you must have been busy as hell and making some good $ there. Thanks for showing me that sexy Gokudera folder... You knew I just couldn't resist it XD
EDIT: Oh, I got this comment quite often about my cosplay this year. Apparently I change my look so much from costume to costume that people found it hard to recognize me... XD

And to end off...

A lot more photos need to be processed and I'll be posting more cosplay pictures when the photographers are done with processing them.
