i spent Friday with friends at gym and Olive Garden; i was so full yet I managed to nudge in another bowl of dad's bo kho when I got home.







Beautiful indoor balcony at Olive Garden.














The tiramisu cream was heavy and filling...


This course defined the true meaning of dark chocolate~

Helped out at OC Village of Hope by gardening today's morning - it was hard work...i'm in pain with muscle pain from the gym....shoveling the next day didn't help much. 
Kari and i celebrated her 21st birthday today (a day early) at a buffet (more food~).
i bet i gained at least another pound.

I won't be happy driving this week orz

It makes the mood more depressing since this week is midterm week ;A;
Check out the song called Diet for the online game Audition.  I'm sure you'll get a good laugh out of it : D

I wanna go watch Sherlock Holmes again!
And eat at Tokyo Table~

Sketched this with borrowed Bamboo Wacom from friend (lmao...I just wanted to draw curly hair to tick Bunny off)





Something that's been bugging me lately:
1.  People in Pixiv drawing 10 years-old-looking-America in Cowboy outfits while putting a 17-years-old-looking America in the American Revolutionary War uniforms.....(wtf)
2.  Kuroshitsuji calling Queen Victoria's Prince Consort King Albert...........(he wasn't even King?)

*Is shot for being so anal about this*

XD...
Haven't practiced still life and realism in awhile.. My shadows are so off.. :\
I have other doodles, but they're on paper and I'm too lazy to scan as usual. :p
And other stuff. XD

( A bit of nudity but I think it's fine. :> )

I never thought of making one before. XD Thought I try it~

1. Draw at least one picture a day or do something that's related to it. No exceptions. Studying/testing days -- doodle instead.
2. Try a new painting/coloring style.
3. Work on backgrounds, perspectives, etc.
4. Must provide a doodle/drawing for every post I make on LiveJournal.

I always tend to get really lazy to the point that even though I wanted to doodle something, I would not do it. So, I hope this will get me going and improve my techniques a bit more. Lets see how long this will last. >_<... I hope for at least 3 months.

FINALLY! Done w/ the Santa's Workshop projects!
TT_TT! It was so tiring for some reason... XD..
Well, I'M GLAD I'M DONE 8D!

Anywho, went to watch Sherlock Holmes w/ Fuu, her little sisters and her cousin, Phong, yesterday! We kinda went at the last minute since her cousin had to leave for his flight in a few hours, and he really wanted to go watch something.. XD! About halfway through the movie, it finally started to pick up the pace and got a lot more interesting! If you haven't seen it yet, it's a must!

So, so, after the movie, Fuu and I craved for some more Gelato and ate some even though it was cold and rainy outside :)! Ahhh, the rain was awesome, totally made my mood happier! Her sisters were enjoying their candies and Phong's just wandering around, telling us that he wants to continue to hang out rather than going back to the house, lol

This actually happened in Sweden!



Brain Wall! Funniest Japanese show EVER! XD

MY LAPTOP ARRIVED! =D [Wayyyy earlier than expected!]

I've been having fun all evening setting it up and all~ xD [and also playing Pokemon 8D.. Just caught meself a Giratina! :O]
I was so depressed when my previous one died.. and now I'm so excited that this came a day before Christmas! Thank you, Dell! =3
It's so fasttttt.. oooohhh -touches- XD
I also tried to stream my drawing on LiveStream with this laptop, and so far, so good! (b ^3^)b!
xD All that's missing is a laptop cooler.. and I'm all set!
I'm still nervous to use this, though.. D= I hope it doesn't break down on me =x

Anyway =D
Time to go back to the other comp~ xD

I felt like shit this morning (because I saw too many homeless people, somewhere along the way lost faith in America >.> , and somewhere along the way thought that I was absolutely useless and heartless)

I'm sorta okay now?

Yesterday's party was fun, the kind of mellow and calm fun (not too wild, which me like very much xD ).  I got awesome gifts (SOME STUFFS THAT I DIDN'T EXPECT AT ALL!!!). 
Watched some Ponyo (WEIRDEST ....PLOT EVER!  Twas very illogical lol, but I love the animation and the simplicity of it), ate some pizzas and chicken, watched 1/3 of Zombieland (why? b/c Kari chickened out xD...and I wasn't into it either), opened present (I wrapped kari's present like a GIANT JOLLY RANCHER so it was fun to see her open it); my shirt got chewed by Hanako's dog (O___O); we baked a cake (made Bunny choke), experienced some epicness from Bayonetta demo, laughed like maniacs while playing Little Big Planet.
We gave Hanako SO MUCH chocolates xD;;;
I think I was on a wild ride of dopamine release yesterday xD after opening my presents.

So here they are:



( Paint Art Ribon of Tanemura Arina, Regina Spektor, Sengoku Strays, chocolates, ohohohohoho )
Ohohohoho Merry Christmasss~~ My cousin is coming tomorrow from Texas before heading to his training camp for the Army xD

I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY DELL LAPTOP! *Squeel* But it doesn't come until 1/08/10! *Sob* My HP one died.. after 2 years.. really bad luck and bad laptop. Never again. <_< Fuu, Bunnie, Linh, I know I keep talking about this... but I can't help it.. =x I'm so excited! XD A-anyway.. I'll just go check my email.. to take my mind off of this D:... I have like... 200 or so emails. Most of which are reminders to do things from me [lulz].

She's been nagging me to post up my sketches D= *flail*


( Dur hur hur )
