Holidays | Toradora Complete | Time for personal works!

Oha

It's been a little while since the last entry, I have missed you all m(_ _)m

If you are celebrating your holiday right now, how are you enjoying it?

This holiday has been a hasty though not stressful race of catch-up. Catch-up as in personal projects that can't be done while at college.

Not that college is a bad thing but, it certainly cuts the time down or is that just bad time management? (^_^);;;

Some shows that I've finally caught up on over the course of this new year:

- Air

- Angelic Layer

- Doujin Work

- K-On!

- Kannagi

- Kasimasi ~ Girl meets Girl ~

- Minami Ke

- Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu

- Toradora

Some of these are pretty old but, as they're downloaded over time it is not the quickest way of watching them. Having just completed Toradora last night it is still fresh in my mind. It's also a show that holds personal relevance to me so... that may have helped me to enjoy it even more (*>.<*)

Apart from anime, there are a few doujinshi titles but, sadly no manga at the moment. Manga happens to be one of my favourite Otaku indulgences. No Visual novels either but, there's a few games I'm playing now too.

Please try Osu! If you're into rhythm games~

Part of the personal projects is the site update, of course. It has been a long wait and hopefully things will go better this time round.

I've found that having a blog can be a good motivator; do you feel that way too?

Well, this ends a rather short post

Suki Desho Back| Upcoming LAN | Money & Figures | Dream - Ritsu Mode ON! | College Life | Everyday moe is killing - Himitsu

Oha

It has been an extremely long time since my previous post and generally a long time since being online in a 'regular' fashion. That said, I have missed you all terribly TwT Whether I read your blog or you mine, whether we communicate on Dannychoo or not, whether we chat via msn or not... I miss it all! TT____TT A solution approaches and that is holiday!

When are you celebrating your holiday and what are your plans, if any?

Next weekend, the 19th to 21 June, I hope to attend a LAN. If you've been following my blog since last year... this is the 3 day LAN that happens monthly in my country. This year onii-chan and I are attending together, of course many of our friends will be there too. After the long months of college, intense gaming is in order! (b^o^)7

For my readers, do you attend any LANs? If so, what type of games or games do you enjoy most?
Personally, I'm into my strategy/FPS>RTS stuff mainly though I play anything that appeals to me.

Not really a rant but, something that I'd like to share with you. Entering college can be good and bad, especially if you're stuck buying art supplies every day, week or month... and still have college fees to attend to as well. Sadly, Suki has not bought any figurines, manga or anything of the sort due to this. I imagine that I'm not the only one going through this so...

How do you cope with this situation or do you rebel? [rebel rebel (b^_~)]

For those of you who may be wondering, college life is really exciting. Although my course is Graphic Design, the college is Fine Arts based and as a result our course gives us firm foundations in both computer and fine arts. An idea of the subjects we take: Photography, Illustration, Figure Drawing, History of Art (Theory),Research (AKA Free period), Printmaking, Communication, Design, DTP, Object Drawing, Alternative Media and Jewellery Design (also 3D-based design).

It's a full schedule and certain classes would appear more frequently than others but, that's okay.
The exam is an essay, which has to be written in 5 days.... That's better than regular testing, I suppose. The exam will be given to us on Monday... gambarimasu! >___<

Finally, if I haven't missed anything, there's good news on the other spectrum of my hobbies! suki has always wanted to play drums and so, after confirming with the parents... it wouldn't work TwT [That was back then when] [Present] suki now has both the opportunity to get her DRUMS!!!! I'll still be writing music and possibly playing other instruments as well but now is the time for DRUMS~ (>/^o^)>/ [It's supposed to be playing drums...lolols, just made that smiley now ^^;]

Do you play any instruments or would like to, if so, which one(s)?

Holidays will start after the theory and practical exams.. so lets hope we can all meet (properly) once its all over >__<

suki desho isn't dead~ T_T

Oha

It has been a very long time since my last blog post, for those who follow my blog, I do apologise for not being able to bring you any posts during this time m(_ _)m

Mostly due to College and Work, I have made a time for all things 'work' since entering College... so no real 'free' time for other things T_T
That is not to say, however, that I am not enjoying college.. because I am! ^-^ It's a fun course~
Today, we're making figurines of ourselves! It's so exciting! *waku waku*

Though I miss being my 'old' self ._.
And I miss having money for games, figures and manga TwT

For the rest of my fellow bloggers and readers.. have you experienced the same feeling?

PS. I'm having a holiday soon.. so more online time (b^o^)7 *cheer*
Also, World is Mine Miku.... WANT!! T_T

Well, that ends this post

Return to Blog | Return to 2009

Oha

It has been a long time since I've had proper internet access, let alone blogged.
I do apologise for the long wait, my dear readers m(_ _)m
I've missed all of you, really really! T_T

Hopefully you've all had a great Festive Season and started the New Year with much success and happiness!
The pictures for the blog mascot has been completed but sadly, the theme is still in progress...
Choosing colours is so hard T_T

What have you done during your time off?

As for life updates, I have attended my College registration today... it was an interesting experience, though amusing to think that my class totals about 10 people ^^;
I hope to continue maintaining this blog during this time and enjoy reading all the blogs in my list and beyond.
So, slowly.. things will return to normal... lets hope!

Well, that ends this (weird) post

Merry Christsmas! | Gone for a while...

Oha

It has been a while but, I had to pop online to wish everyone!

It's a bit early but, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Chanukah and New Year!
May you all have a special time with your loved ones, find happiness and fulfill your resolutions for the new year m(_ _)m

Also, for those of us who are in the single boat.. may we find our special someone (b^o^)7

Due to work and other life events, I'll be absent from my blog for a while. I am still working on my mascot and coding.. so, please wait patiently for that and my following posts m(_ _)m

Fate/Stay Night Cleared! | Blog updates progressing

Oha

It has been a while since my last post but, to make up for that... I bring you a little run down of my Fate/Stay Night progress! Spoilers will be avoided as much as possible, so no need to be concerned about that ^__^

Last post, we ended off with at the start of the final path, Heaven's Feel (Sakura's path). As some of you may know already, the anime did not feature a great amount of the Unlimited Blade Work's and Heaven's Feel paths... in fact, slight segments were added but, not enough to consider the actual storyline of those paths.


Heaven's Feel is a long path, fillled with decisions and many twists that unravel. In a sense, it can be related to the unsaid events of UBW and Fate... Similar to UBW, Heaven's Feel contains both a True and Good ending.

[this pic actually appears in UBW... but, its Sakura in Kyudo uniform so yeah.. ^_^]

The sequel to Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia follows a cycle of one and a half years after the Fate/Stay Night timeline. If possible, I'd love to get my hands on this one next.... it would be a good way to practice my Japanese!


The above picture is a good representation of the lighter moments in Fate XD
Taiga dojo is a lot of fun!

As for the blog updates.... I have been sketching my blog mascot!
It's still a surprise for now.. so, please look forward to it m(_ _)m

Well, that ends this post

Japanese Magazines | Site update coming along...

Oha

It's been a little while since my previous post... blame that on life and games ^^;
Seems like Unreal 3 and Fate/Stay Night have done a good job to keep me busy, well that's okay XD

There are many Japanese magazine available to cater for all tastes.
Whether you like fashion or plamo, there'll be something available for you.
While they may be hard to get hold of and due to exchange rates, may be pretty expensive... we'd still like to purchase them.

So, which Japanese maazines do you enjoy reading? What makes it worth reading?

The site poll will end today, I am currently working on a theme of sorts. Coding is something that is totally self-taught so.. it may take a little while to work out the finer bits...
Either way, I thank you, my dear readers, for helping me to come to a decision
m(_ _)m

Fate/Stay Night Progress post and Figurine update post to appear next time ^-^
Please look forward to them!

Well, that ends this post

Site Cleaning | Air Show | Presidential Resignation

Oha

As you may have noticed, the banner has been changed! It features Takaze Mizuki from the Comic Party game made by Leaf (Leaf-fangirl here)
The banner may rotate every now and then; it's a bit hard to say right now though. The text on the banner hurts my eyes but, for the life of me, I can't seem to get rid of it ^^;
There are simply too many adorable characters out there, don't you think?

How were you able to choose your banner mascot?

The weekend presented a lovely event, the International Air Show!
A full write up as well as a Flickr link is being prepared, though the size of the pictures is a bit concerning ^^;
Please look forward to it!

Not really relating to the site or hobbies...
The president of South Africa has resigned.
Normally local politics would simply tire me out and I'd lose interest but, this is big news.
The elections will most probably be moved closer and this would move my first time of voting nearer.
A daunting task, I think.

Have you had the opportunity to vote? Do you follow the politics of your country?

T_T Been double-checking myblogroll list and somehow, with the changes added... my blogrolls have disappeared! Will add what I can but, otherwise, please comment if you would like to be added m(_ _)m

That ends this post.

Tiredness ~_~

Oha!

This is not much of a post, sadly. I have planned and scheduled future posts but, have not made the time to type them up ^^;
The last meetup I had is partially to blame, as I've gotten hold of many anime series. Watching anime til the early hours of the morning may be fun but, sooner or later... those late nights catch up to you.
There's the issue of other tasks as well.. so, essentially this tiredness is my own responsiblity...

On a lighter note, I hope to attend a local Air Show on the 20 September! I have not been able to attend since two years ago and I'm quite excited to see what will be on display. I hope to take pics but, I still can't find my battery charger... I feel like Osaka T___T

Finally, I'm thinking of giving the site a change! since I've been invited ot do a banner exchange, I wanted to change it but, I've been a bit lost.
I hope to find a banner that you'll all like ^-^

Until we next meet,
~suki

Cleaned up

So, I cleaned things up a bit.. not much to change, really ^^;
Hoping to sort my link list and try to gain some feeds next, so look forward to that!

Also, do give this flash vid a look... it's pretty funny!
