End of November

Well, Florida was a lot of fun.  I went to Disney World with my mom.  We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge which was a lot of fun.  We could see many different animals from our room!  Giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and more!
Here's a view from the room.

It was Christmas time in Disney, so we did Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.  It was a lot of fun, but very crowded.  We also saw all the pretty Christmas lights in Hollywood Studios.
Free Cookies and Hot Chocolate!

So pretty.

For Thanksgiving, it was just my immediate family, my sister's fiance's family, and a friend.  There was a lot of delicious food.  We went Black Friday shopping too.  I went to Best Buy at midnight and picked up a limited edition Zelda 3DS.  We went to other stores too, but I didn't buy much else.  I did get a free snowglobe from JCPenny's though.

Lately, I've just been playing games on my 3DS.  I love it.  I usually keep the 3D very low or off though.  It's cool, but it gets a bit too much after a while for me.  I'm at the water temple now on Zelda Ocarina of Time.  Playing it again brings back a lot of memories.  I've also been playing Nintendogs.  My friend got it for me as a Christmas gift.  I have a Shiba named Oreo.  She's so cute!

That's all for now.

Happy Veterans Day!  And Happy 11/11/11!

So I can eat gluten!  Yay!  I love my ramen!  All my bloodwork came out normal.  Now I have no idea what's wrong with me.  It's very frustrating.  I obviously have a problem and no one can tell me what it is.

Anyway, I went to Philadelphia on Wednesday.  I went to the Christopher Paolini book signing.  I'm so happy Inheritance came out!  I'm only 100 or so pages in (I'm a slow reader) but it's very good so far.  I'm so happy I got a chance to meet Christopher and have him sign my book!
He also signed my copy of Eragon.  I would have had him sign Eldest and Brisingr, but a little girl like me has trouble holding all four of these books at the same time.  Walking with them through Philadelphia would have been an even bigger problem.  The event was a lot of fun.  Christopher gave a lecture and it was very entertaining.  I also met a girl who was really into the series and we talked a bit.  I can't wait to read the rest of Inheritance!

Anyway, not up to much besides reading, playing Harvest Moon Hero of Leaf Valley, and working on some animation for Wilderbrook.  I'm going to Florida next week.  That should be fun.

I'm Not Dead Yet

Wow, it's been so long.  Sorry if anyone was waiting for me to post, not that I think anyone reads this...
Anyway, I'll talk about everything that's happened since my last post.
First things first, I'm single again.  My boyfriend and I broke up, but we are still friends.  We went to the zoo several weeks ago.  Here's a picture of a cute red panda I took:

 I also have been keeping in touch with my friend from Korea.  She sent me a package with some yummy snacks and fun items!  I was so happy!  I sent her a package with some things as well.  I hope one day to visit her in Korea again!

I went to Disneyland in mid-October.  We went to Mickey's Trick or Treat Party.  I dressed up as Pinocchio and trick or treated in Disney.  It was a lot of fun and I got so much candy!  It made up for the fact that I had work on Halloween.  I did, however, manage to squeeze in a bit of trick-or-treating after work.  I haven't missed a year yet.


On October 23, I went to the SM Town Live Concert in NYC.  It was so much fun.
 This picture is from the sound check party.  We weren't supposed to take pictures, but I didn't know it until after I had already taken this photo.  The sound check party was not worth the extra money I had to spend.  We were seated, and we got to listen and watch the sound check for about 3 songs for Girls Generation, which was fun.  But then we were told, "It's over.  You have to leave!" and not in a nice way.  It only lasted 40 minutes at most.  It was a bit disappointing.

However, the actual concert was amazing.  So many great performances!  It was so much fun!

 BoA is one of my favorites!

<3 I absolutely adore Changmin from TVXQ <3 

The concert ended with all this confetti coming down!  It was so much fun! I hope they come back to perform next year!

Nothing much else has been going on.  I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my stomach and such.  I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor about blood work stuffs.  I might have Celiac disease.   :(  I dont want it.  I love my ramen noodles!

Well that's all I feel like writing for now.

I Love You Bun Buns! ♡

Bun Buns the rabbit passed away today.  She was one of the best rabbits.  She was big, white, and fluffy.  She loved to eat her vegetables and hay.  Bun Buns rest in peace and I love you.

On other news, I have been working new hours at my job.  I work Tuesday nights now.  They my add another class as well soon, so that means more hours.

Borders is going out of business.  I spent so much money on books.  I got a book on Actionscript 3.0.  I'm going to try and learn it so I can make cool flashy things.

My boyfriend lent me his PSP so I could play Harvest Moon Hero of Leaf Valley.  I love it so far.  I finally got to summer today.  Hopefully I get my horse soon.

That's all for now.  I'll try and update more often, no guarantees though.

Mapley

Well not too much has been going on since my last post.
I went to the mall and saw the cutest bunnies at the pet store.


I already have two rabbits, so I didn't adopt any more.  I called the one on the bottom, Cookie Dough and the one on the house, Dusty. They are so fluffy and cute!  I love them!!!

I went to Vermont last week, from Tuesday to Friday.  It was a lot of fun.  I got to eat maple ice cream!  It's so good.  I bought myself some maple candy and lots of other souvenirs.  I love Vermont so much.  I visited Lake Willoughby while I was there.  It's such a beautiful lake!  The water is so clear and nice!


It was cloudy that day, but the water was nice.  It was cold getting out though.  I hope I go again next year!

Balloon Fest

The QCNJ Balloon Festival was sooooo much fun!  There were so many vendors giving out free goodies!  I got a free hat, bag, jar opener, littlest pet shop band aids, and lots of snacks!  There were sooo many pretty balloons! It was amazing when they were all up in the air.  Some even glowed at night!  There were also skydivers who did tricks in the air.  It was awesome!
The Barenaked Ladies concert was great.  Some hot air balloons were right next to the stage and more came throughout the concert.  I love the Barenaked Ladies!  They always do great concerts!  It was fun to hear all their comments about the balloons.
Well here's some pictures!  Enjoy!
 The balloons are inflating!


 Strawberry!


 So many!!


 Clovers! Yay!


 Spiderpig!


 Butterfly!


 Shark!


The balloons by the concert stage.


Barenaked Ladies!!!!!

Another Week

Camping was fun.  It was pretty much what I expected, lots of bugs.  The food was good though and being around a campfire was nice.  It was really hot though.  On Saturday night, they showed Toy Story 3 in the front lawn.  It was fun to sit with everyone and watch it.  Our neighbors were very noisy at night.  It was hard to fall asleep with them being loud. Overall it was a fun experience.  I'm happy to be home in the AC now.


Work was fun today.  The kids were pretty good.  I'm getting better at doing this.  I still have a lot to learn though.  I have Saturday off for the balloon festival!  It should be fun.

Gearing Up

My first day of work was on Monday.  It started off fine and got a bit hectic near the end.  I'm not good at working with children yet.  I have a lot to learn.  The abacus is somewhat easy to understand, but it takes me a little to know what number is what still.  I guess I will get better with practice.  I have work again Saturday so we will see how that goes.

I am going camping tomorrow with my sister and some friends.  I have my tent, sleeping bag, and everything else I need all ready to go.  I've never been camping before.  I'm a bit nervous.  I really don't like bugs and I'm not too into being outdoors.  But, I'll be with friends so it should be fun.  We are staying from Friday to Sunday (I'm still going to work on Saturday).

I got off from work for the Balloon Festival so now I don't have to miss anything!  It should be a lot of fun.  I love the Barenaked Ladies and I can't wait to see them perform.  They always give great concerts!

I was in the city the past few days.  I went to Nintendo World today for a Mario Kart K'Nex event.  They gave out free Luigi figures and I bought a K'Nex Mario Kart.  I just finished building it.  It came with a Mario figure and a banana, so they are on the car, and I put Luigi on it too!  It's just like Double Dash!

It's really hot, I hope it cools down soon.

Got a Job!

Well I have a job now.  I'm a teacher's assistant at Aloha Mental Math.  It's two days a week and it seems like it will be fun.  The program they teach uses the abacus to solve math problems.  I got a small demo on how to use it and I am going to be trained to learn more.  It seems very interesting and helpful with solving problems.  I've never taught children before, so I have a lot to learn.  Hopefully, things go well!

Since I work Saturday mornings, I'm going to be missing most of the balloon festival I am going to on the 30th.  Work comes first, but I feel bad that my parents are going to miss it too.  At least we will be able to see the Barenaked Ladies perform.

Even though things are going well, I feel very down.  I don't know why.  I hope I don't stay like this.

There's a comic book store by where I work.  I bought a book there the other day about Green Arrow's origin story.  I read it and it's so good.  I want to get more.  There goes all the money I earn...

Do Diddys

I got a response from another job application:
We appreciate your interest and wish you the best of luck in future endeavors and employment. After careful consideration, we did retain another person for this position. Thanks for your time and response!
It may be a no, but it made me so happy to receive a response.  I have no idea why, lol.  It just feels nice when people respond I guess.
Interview tomorrow!  Gotta get ready!

In video game news, I have been playing Rune Factory 3.  I am so confused on who to marry.  I like Carmen and Daria.  But Daria is all like, "Rainbow!!!!!"  I think it makes me less likely to pick her.  She's a bit too hyper for me.  I do like the whole artsy thing, though.  Carmen just seems more normal, lol.  And I do like fishing in Natsume games.  So maybe I will go with Carmen after all.  I was also considering going for Kuruna.  But I don't think I will.  Hmmm, now I want to play, so I will.

Lately

I just finished watching all the episodes of Ouran High School Host club (I didn't watch them all at once).  I absolutely loved the series.  I want to cosplay Haruhi so badly!  I think I will.  I love cosplaying, but I can't sew my own costumes and I can't afford for someone else to...well usually.  The Haruhi costume is actually affordable.  So I may just get it :)

I have a job interview coming up :)  Let's see how it goes.

I am still looking for jobs or a job.  Either is fine.  I'm thinking of starting some projects of my own to keep me busy.  All I've been doing is watching anime, playing video games, and looking for work.  I think working on something will be good for me.  I just need to get over my laziness (It's very hard to do).

Well that's it for now.

Website Done!

I finished making my new site!  All the pages are up now.  I like it, but let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.
Now I can get back to other work I have to do.

05 July 2011

Website is Working

So my website layout is working now!  I'm so happy!  I finished the analog art section and I'm half way through the digital art section.  All that's left is the rest of the digital section and the video section and then my website goes public.  I hope people like it.
In other news, I've been putting off my job search a bit while I finish my website.  But that's ok, right?  I'll continue when I have a good portfolio to show.

Happy belated 4th of July as well!  I went to fireworks last night with my friends.  It was fun.  They had star and heart shape ones!  Such technology!

Website Workings.

   I'm redoing my website without flash.  It seems flash has only caused me problems.  However, it seems nothing wants to line up for me now.  I'm tempted just to leave it misaligned, but it looks unprofessional.  I don't know how to fix it though.  I've tried hundreds of things and none of them work.  It's really pissing me off.  I hope I can fix this.  It's starting to kill me.

Starting a Blog

  Well, I decided to start a blog here.  My other blog was kind of boring and blank looking.
  I have a lot of work to do on my website.  I'm going to redo it in two versions, one with flash and one without.  In the flash version, only the header will be in flash.  This way I can keep my pretty crow and fix some of the loading issues.  I still have to work out video on my site.  There are some I do not wish to post on youtube, but I want them on my site.  They just won't load when I try and do that.  So much to do.
  I also need to work on a demo reel.  I need to put together a decent one so I can get a job.  I've been applying to a lot of jobs.  I hope I can get one!  I'm trying for math tutoring and art stuff.  I'll be happy with whatever I can get.
  Well, that's it for now.
