Hiatus

Yes, I haven't posted in this blog for weeks. So sue me. I've been occupied with other things and I haven't given myself the time to post a new entry for quite some time.

After a small event I've been motivated to study Japanese again. Finally. I've digged up my Japanese language book and English-Japanese dictionary and have been frequently looking at them. I need to communicate with other Japanese people if I ever go to Japan and read the text on Japanese games and doujins somehow. >_>

Anyway, time for an update. The portfolio is going well and is progressing towards completion. It's due next Thursday, which is plenty of time.

Next week is finals week. My last exam is on Friday. Since college isn't free I'll be needing to spend some time to make sure that I'm getting my moneys worth. In other words I'll be studying to death over the next week and I'll need to make sure that distractions are minimal. Knowing that I spend a lot of my life at my desktop I'm going to have to leave it at home. Thus I won't be active at any forums or sites that I frequent starting this weekend up until exams are over. The only things that I'll be bringing besides my study materials will be my DS, sketch book, and my Japanese book. Hey, Tenma needs something to do when he's not studying. :P

I've been playing Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on and off for some time now. Shanoa is at level 38 and I've reached Death. It's taking me quite some time to kill him. -_- Oh well. I'll probably beat it sometime this weekend. I need to pick up Persona 4 again once I come back from finals week. SMT: Devil Summoner 2 comes out this Tuesday. I reserved my copy at Gamestop some time ago and luckily the employees there have decided to hold onto my copy for me until I pick it up that weekend. Don't worry Radho, Tenma will be there for you once he's done being "busy." ^_^

I'll be bringing my cell phone with me too, so all contact with me won't be completely lost. I'll still be on AIM, YIM, and MSN via mobile so feel free to send me an IM. Especially if something important has happened that I need to know. *is worried* I won't guarantee that I'll reply to it, but at least it would make me happy. It's lonely being in an area under a stressful situation you know. :P

I don't have much else to say. Wish me luck!

The Next Month

Finals are slowly creeping up on me. I'm currently working on my Intro to Photography portfolio, and I have no clue when it'll be done. I'm supposed to have 10 contact sheets and 15 prints made in two weeks. I have two sheets made and five prints done, although some of them I want to redo since they're not quite up to standard. I'm doing a neglection theme for my portfolio, and for the most part I've been taking photographs of polluted areas and trash lying on the side of the road. I have four additional rolls of film waiting to be processed, and I'm currently working on 7/10 right now. They're all in black and white. Color would have worked much better for my project. -_-

Regardless, I also have three additional exams that I need to study for in the next few weeks, and for a Music as a World Phenomenon exam this coming Thursday.

As much as I hate to say this, I'm going to be less active at the sites and forums that I frequent until mid-May when I move out of my dorm and go home for the summer. My concentration level needs to be at the highest level that it can be at, and surfing the internet as frequently as I do at times like these is bound to hinder that. It's going to be painful since I won't be able to chat with people as much, and even more painful since I'll be away from the ones who I love, but it's a process that I'm going to have to deal with. College isn't free and I really don't feel like extending my stay for another semester, so that's the way that it's going to be.

I'll still be on AIM, YIM, and MSN, but don't be surprised if I'm slow to respond or seem unusually out of it at times.

I can't wait for summer.

OMG it's here!

I'm ecstatic at the moment because of this.

The 1/8 PVC figure of my dear Chroche-sama has been delivered to my dorm and it's even better than I expected it to be. Then again, that's what I've come to expect from something involving her. <3 class="fullpost">All in all it was worth more than the $71 (+$10 for shipping) that I paid for it.

Takaboku Busujima (the sculptor) chose a good pose for her too. I've always liked Chroche-sama's most common piece of official art.

I may order a second one to keep in its box permanently while I take this one out for display once I finally buy a glass case for my figures. I may even do a photoshoot featuring both my Chroche and Luca figure. It'll be the most boring photoshoot ever since I can't change their poses or expressions (on that note, Ar Tonelico Figmas would be really cool ^^), but I think that it would be pretty cool to show the two together.

Yes, this is just a picture of Chroche-sama being very upset towards a pair of Guegos. XD It's that way...for now.

The New Golden Church

I uploaded old entries from my LJ account onto here. It's not all of it since a lot of my old entries were boring personal ones, but I hope you enjoy looking back into my past if you do.

I hope you enjoy the new banner. ^^; It's not much, but it's better than nothing. I <3 Chroche-sama. <3

There's one more thing that I want to do. I've been indecisive in what kind of banner and color scheme that I really want, and I feel like keeping them all for future reference, so I'm looking for a way that people can change the theme. I could have the current theme as the default one for example, and have different ones to select from in a drop menu in the sidebar for example. I have somewhat of an idea on how it could work, but I don't know how I could implement it onto here. If anyone can figure it out, then I shall grace you with an embrace like no other. <3
