1 in the Morning

So…. it’s not really one in the morning. I’ve been up til one in the morning a couple times this week, and Hikki sings, “One in the morning at the HAATO SUTECHEON~” I think I’ve been overloading on music lately. I’ve become more attached to my dOpi (iPod, for those who can’t read backwards). Maybe because my screen is dying…?

I got really bored today (__) Look what I made!

I love my new wallpaper. ^^ I used one of the photos from her “Dareka ga Kanau Koro” shoot. SHe looks so cute! I have an avatar using a picture from the same shoot. I may use it here..

If you hadn’t figured it out already, I love Hikki’s song “TAKE 5″ from her new HEART STATION album. Even the abrupt ending. It’s just so… I don’t know. It’s jsut a song that really stuck with me.

“Collapsing onto the cold grass
I wanted to hide my burning body

The stars in the sky of midwinter
Are waiting for the one who would be my lover

Today’s emotions are the greatest
There is neither hope nor despair
I want to be as empty as the sky

The fact that we can’t be together
Is not because we fought together,
Not because we disappointed each other

The wind like a knife
Pushes me ever onward
Take 5

How happy can I be
There is neither success nor failure
I want to be as empty as the sky

I take off my coat and go inside
There is neither a beginning nor an end
I want to gently live in the day that is today”

It’s so… like, Hikki’s saying to everyone that she’s not going to let her divorce affect her life. Her strength, I think, is really in this song.

Alright, I think we’ve all had enough of my philosophical-ness.

I’m going to a wedding this upcoming weekend. However…

A) I don’t know if it’s a formal or casual wedding. (This determines whether or not I have to go shopping for a dress.)

B) I have no idea what to get for the bride and groom as a gift. (I don’t even know the bride or the groom! I was invited by association.)

It’s all so confuzzling!!!!! *faints*

Alright, I gotta go study. Big driver’s ed test on Tuesday. 0w0

“Sukisuki suu   Fuwafuwa fuu
Konna kimochi   MELO MELODY
Yume da kedo   Yume ja nai   Onegai ne   MY MELODY~~~”

lol, okay. Really, I’m done.

Ukelala Emocar

lol, don’t get me wrong, I love Ulquiorra Schiffer. I love to make fun of him, too.

Well, I go my new glasses. They’re adorable and stuff. I just hate wearing them. I’m gonna go blind apparently, because I keep taking them off and putting them back on. Bah. I just don’t want to wear them, la.

Sketchbook acquired! MP increases +200! :D  (I sound so geeky.)

Driver’s Ed schedule acquired. HP decreases -300 googles.

That’s right. I’m starting driver’s ed tomorrow at 9:30. It’s not too bad, I guess. I mean, I’ll only have to do that for six weeks. But.. driving time for me is at like 6:30 in the morning. ;A; Oh well. At least I get to take the class with Kimi!

So, I’ve thought about posting art here from now on. Not on this particular blog, but on a separate blog just for my art. I checked out MangaBullet, but it’s too much like dA. Some might wonder why I say this, since big sites usually draw lots of attention to artists. Well, I’ve gotten bored with posting stuff on dA. I still love deviantART, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t post there anymore. So, should I start a blog for posting art? I don’t like a lot of the free website providers especially Freewebs. So perhaps a separate blog is a good option?

I has a shuvel.

Apologies

I only have a couple minutes left of my break, so I thought I’d take some time to apologize. I know I haven’t answered my phone, checked my email, stuff like that lately. There are a few reasons for it. One, I’m working full time now. Two, I don’t have time to really keep up with my internet stuff.

Speaking of working, I’m asking you guys who have my number to stop calling me during work hours. I can get away with a text here and there, but I can’t answer phone calls. I work from noon to closing (5:30 PM). Calling before then isn’t the best time to call, because I’m either sleeping or getting ready to go to work. You can call after 7 (that gives me some time to wind down), but I may not answer the phone, especially if I’m out with Daniel and Trevor.

I really hope you can forgive me, and I’m sorry for being such a hermit. I’ll try to call you guys as soon as possible! Really, I will!!

Dangos of friendship…?

I picked up two new books. Gentlemen’s Alliance+, vol. 6 by Arina Tanemura and Magical JxR by Lee Sun-Young. Magical JxR is my first manhwa, and I love it! Lee Sun-Young’s style is so beautiful~~!

I ran out pages in my sketchbook today. I have to pick up a new one asap! Oh I should have done that earlier this weekend…

Happy father’s day, everyone!

Orizo and Chicken

It’s what I had for lunch. ^^

So I go to my eye exam this morning, and showed the lady my glasses.She thought someone had sat on them rather than that they were rolled over by a car (which did happen, btw.) So while I was gettign examined, the poor woman worked hard to fix the frame and put the lenses back. She made sure I had them before I left. SHe was really sweet. I thanked her a bunch before I left for work. So, I am now officially the owner of two pairs of glasses: one pair with Progressive (a fancy name for bifocals without the icky line) lenses and a pair of slightly bent reading glasses as a back-up pair.

 

These are my new lovelies. ^^ They’re so cute! I got a half-frame this time, and there are little hearts on the earpieces! Oh, I adore them so much, la~ I went to the Juicy website, too. There are so many wonderful dresses there! I can’t even afford one, OTL|||

Akinori Isobe has totally made my day. Look at his new designs! They’re so adorable and gorgeous!

 

 

The red one is just like a dress that Momoko described in Shimotsuma Monogatari!! It’s so beautiful~~~~!!! Oh, seeing this dress makes me want to read Shimotsuma Monogatari again. *sighs*

Now a little tag I got from *iruka-loves-kakashi

Okay… Maybe the tag’ll come later.

 

Traaaaaaaveling

Happy (very very late) birthday, Theresa! I’m really sorry this is late… I haven’t really been into posting artwork lately..

Well, I’ve got one day of exams left to do.. I’m so done with school! (’A') So far, I’ve taken Latin III, Algebra II, Art studio/history, and Honors Biology exams. It’s a wonder that I’m not dead yet…

*dies*

Never mind…

“(Traaaaaaaveling) Kimi wo (Traaaaaaaveling) nosete ASPHAAAALT wo teeeerasu yooo/(Traaaaaaaveling) Doko he (Traaaaaaaveling) iku no? Toooooku nara dokooo he demo”

Celebrate! *dances*

Oh today was such a great day! So many good things happened. ^_^

Daniel passed his GED exam! He freaked me out at first, ’cause he was all like, “I’ve got some news.” And he pointed to a folded paper on the counter. I opened it, and it was a print-out of his GED scores. Oh my goodness, I almost cried! He did so well! *//* I couldn’t stop congratulating him and hugging him. ^^; We’re celebrating with his family on Sunday.

I bought two new CDs today, too. All Disney songs! I love Disney music. Alot. Especially HUnchback of Notre Dame music. It’s so dramatic! It makes me want to draw like there’s no tomorrow!

I have a speech tomorrow that I’ve barely practiced for, orz. This will be interesting…

Payday in two days, yay! Monthly Shonen Jump, here I come! *rushes away*

Oh, my kiriban was caught again on dA. I think there may be a misunderstanding… See, I didn’t say I was leaving dA, just not posting art there anymore. Alot of the coments I’ve received are all like, “I’m sad to see you go, but I understand,” and “You’re leaving?? No!” I’m not leaving. I’m going to try to be as active in the dA community as I possibly can. After all, I still want to support  fellow artists.

…There’s a spam comment que here?

*sings* “…Some daaaaaaay my priiiiince will cooooome…“

On another note, someone drew AkuRoku on the whiteboard in biology! And it stayed there all day!

Okay, so it’s not too bad. Seeing as Link is right there too.

I’ve got so many projects to do! ;A; *sigh* I hope I can make it. Final exams run from June 9th-11th. The school picnic is this friday, but the rules have totally tightened up! It sucks! Mp3 players aren’t allowed anymore… *cries*

Alive… Sorta

I’m not dead, really. (´ ▽｀) I’ve just been… thinking.

 

I’ve met the sweetest guy in the world. Okay, one of the sweetest guys in the world (I know I’ll hear a protest from some other woman (or man *shudders*) on the interwebz.). Really. He’s someone I would look forward to marrying, if I was the right age. We’ve talked about marriage stuff quite a bit, though it’s usually followed by me nagging him to get his GED. Having a boyfriend is teaching me boundaries. I see on TV and people around me the way acting with your partner is supposed to be according to culture standards. I’m more into the traditional dating stuff. When he asked my father before he asked me if we could date, I wasn’t all that offended; in act, I was really proud of him, ‘cause asking my dad first shows a lot of respect that he has for my parents and for me.

 

So, I’ve been drawing a lot lately. I just haven’t posted anything. I’ll get some sketches up here as soon as I can.

 

I’m in love with Enchanted! It’s such a great Disney film, with an awesome soundtrack to boot. I love Iron Man too. Totally kick-ass.

 

My poor iPod video has pixel cancer. (´ ▽｀) I have to take it down to the Apple store and have them look at it. I just got out of warranty, too… This sucks. If my iPod screen goes entirely, I’m just going to buy an iPod video nano and cut one of my Sakura-Con cosplays. I can’t live without my music. Seriously. It’s rather shameful how attached I am to my little mess of microchips. Oh the pain that I’ll feel when I have to let it go…

 

School’s almost done. Last day on June 11^th! I cant wait!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s Talk Anime… Or Not.

Alright, this is ridiculous.

[Vampire Knight OP Sequence]

I was a major anime geek in middle school. Seriously, anime and LotR were my only interests. No boys (except for boys-love manga), no sports, nothing else but anime and LotR. By 8th grade, I was probably the biggest geek in my school. Then I kinda dropped both when I entered high school. Wth?

I’m still into the anime/manga culture. I read manga more than I watch anime, and I don’t read it online unless I absolutely have to. I wait for the sluggish translation companies to shove all the books I need in my face at once so they can suck more money from my wallet. While I’ve spent more money on art supplies than books, (I adore my Copic Sketch pens to death. They’re so wonderful~!) I’m up to date with what’s in and what’s not in manga and anime. However, I disagree with about 89% of what’s popular. The above video is just one of the rising fandoms to hit the US. I enjoy reading Vampire Knight in VIZ Media, LLC.’s periodical Shoujo Beat. Matsuri Hino was one of the first shoujo authors that really made an impact on me, the others being Arina Tanemura and Naoko Takeuchi. It’s sad to see Hino’s work butchered by the colored anime graphics. The bold cell shading of anime just doesn’t suit her drawing style at all. Yeah, the colors look awesome for the different sequences, but it’s just not the same as Hino’s colored pages. I definitely won’t be watching this anime, whether it comes to the US or not. I don’t want to hear the voices, despite the fact that Akatsuki Kain will be played by Junichi Suwabe~ <3 and Luka will be voiced by Junko Minagawa~ <3 and Kana Ueda is in the cast also. That’s not enough incentive for me to watch it. I get the feeling that many fans will be disappointed by the VK anime in the same way that many Death Note fans were disappointed by the DN anime (or, least, I was disappointed by the anime. The manga is definitely the better choice here).

On another note, A lot of my latest drawings have either been fan arts or Disney-inspired. Ceci’s gone (loli) loco!

PrincessPrincess is one of the best manga and anime series I’ve ever watched. Really, you won’t be disappointed.

Happy (late) Easter from Ceci and Ulquiorra! \（・ω・）/
