It's been a while since last update... and naturally, lots of things happened. But I'll go easy on myself and list only three main events.

RECEIVED

As my last journal entry screams, It was Annie's birthday... couple months ago. And because she lacked tablet as an artist, me and Renee combined money and got her a sparklin' new Digital Tablet! She seems to enjoy it. And I guess that's all that matters. With it, we have been iScribbling. There she taught me chemistry stuff, drew stuff, and all the other nonsense. It was fun. But besides all the little side doodling, many of you may remember the Heaven Hell Competition ([link]). Now that she has a tablet and photoshop, I left her the responsibility of our next Collaboration! The sketches are done, the concepts have been established, and now she is coloring it with all her might. I'm looking forward to it more than you can ever imagine. (No pressure Annie, take your time...)

REACHED IV

As you guys can plainly see, I have now 4000+ Pageviews. I suspect that this is a result of one or all of the following reasons:
- My drawings look Anime-ish, attracting several random deviant bypassers.
- My friends visit the site although they aren't member of dA.
- The dA admins looked at my drawings and they were like "LOL, luk @ dis n00b. Lats giv sum PVs so he f33l gewd." Thanks guys.
Ultimately, this is just an indicator toward how many bored people are out there. So let me just make it clear to all you attention-whores; Tons of Pageviews do NOT mean you are a great artist. There are so many people out there who are superb and savvy in art yet unnoticed. Keep that in mind before you go around start "Watching" people in hopes of them watching you back.


DANCED

Yesterday was 2008 Kaiser Junior Prom.
A friend of mine asked me to go with her. I agreed.
Knowing Nothing about events such as this, I didn't know what to expect.
After Annie and my sister assuaged my nervousness, I went on to Preparation- The worst part of all.

First up was the tuxedo. After severe humiliation and head shakes, I learned that just wearing any tuxedo with my bow tie is NOT suitable for events such as this. Color coordination must be established, and size must be right. (One I already own is big because I have to play cello in it and I need to be able to move around freely.) With that, I left the color to my partner. She chose the color gold. She also added that she would have chosen pink just to see my reaction, but felt kind-hearted and decided to let it go. I didn't know if I should have felt thankful or provoked. Either way, gold it was.

Second up was the flower. Apparently, the Flower had to match the carrier as well, and I had the choice between Bouquet or Corsage. With careful consideration, I got a yellow-white Corsage. I had nooo~ idea how to handle that thing... It looked so fragile... But she managed to move around in it nonetheless.

Third up was the transportation. Due to the fact that my aunt's client was the owner of this limo company, I got some nice hook-ups. (Up to about $150 off the original price.) With such nice price and drinks provided, the ride was pretty cool. On our way back, however, the radio sort of stopped working... But hey, it's better than walking.

Forth, and lastly, was my hair. Although it was already short, I was forced to get it trimmed and gelled to perfection... I still preferred my old hair but I really didn't have much choice in this one due to the fact that I did not want 9 mm bullet in my right retina.

After preparation was the real thing. I called up the 7 other folks to gather up at my crib, hop on, and get goin'. It worked out pretty smoothly actually. Kara brought some cider so the ride's entertainment level doubled. On the road, we passed by several tourists. we were tempted to pull down the window and yell at them, but the window was locked. Shucks. Once we were there, I secured up a communication line with the driver and he was on his way to somewhere else... The place itself was very nice. (Of course it is... It's a freaking hotel...) We could have gotten lost in there if it wasn't for the ladies and their intuitions.

There in the ball room, we saw many people who we recognized and some who we could not due to serious change in appearance... But first things first. We needed to take our pictures before the line got too long. I took one picture with my date, group picture with the 7 other people on our table, and a group picture with the BBoy Crew. I can't wait to see how they came out.

Food. Oh my god, Food. They were awesome. I had to get seconds before I satisfied myself. But for fucks sakes, they were all Chicken. Chicken, Chicken, Chicken. We get to eat chickens ON campus and OFF campus! This place is great. There were HUGE selection of deserts consisting of pies and cakes. But I was too full... so I stopped after one small slice. What a pity.


Dance... The music was deafening... It made Trivium sound like whispers from miles away. Naturally, I avoided the dance floor and I decided to take this time to take the group picture while the line was clear. Afterwards, Kara decided that it is time for me to DO THIS. So she went on, dragging me and Oliver into the Boogie Vacinity. I attempted but failed. So I... just sort of left. In short, all the girls went off dancing by themselves and all the guys stayed behind. Later, the ladies came back. I suppose they were tired. At that moment, the music changed completely.
A slow song came on.
I knew exactly what this meant...
swallowing what little self-conscious I had left inside of me, I asked her-

"Wanna go? I feel like I owe you this one."

I saw nothing but shock and awe in her eyes. But it slowly changed to bliss... and relief.

"Hah, Alright- but don't feel obligated."

She replied.

"Too late for that..."

I whispered.

But honestly, I didn't feel bounded by it...

...I asked her because I wanted to...


Upon agreement, we went on.
She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I did the same for her waist- and we proceeded to sway.
...
I swear to god, It was the longest song I have heard in my entire life.
...

After all that, she hugged me in appreciation.
...
I felt so much lighter...



The whole thing ended at about 10:00. The ride back in limo was much better than the last one. All of us were done and finished. Nothing more to worry about. It was all over.
When we got to our destination, all of our dates left after hugging us...




...It was now time for the REAL party.
We changed out of our tuxedos and their grasp of asphyxiation. After getting dressed, we headed over to Brent's house, where we indulged ourselves in food (Hell better than the never ending chickens.) and played Super Smash Brothers Brawl until we got SICK of it. By then it was 5:00 in the morning. Knowing that we are going to be busy on the same day, we picked ourselves up, woke up Oliver, and headed out.
After washing myself, I crashed into my bed...
...
and slept in felicity...

EVERY BLESS COMES WITH CONSEQUENCES.
-and mine is severe.

Unnecessary Hair cut = $20
Pictures - +$60
Tuxedo - $125
Limousine - $200
Knowing that all these money were blown away in 5 hours - Priceless.


TAGGED II

Lastly, let me finish it off by fulfilling my brother's task...
Because I got tagged!
8 Facts about me-
= The only reason why I like long hair is because of this dream I had years back.
= I quit energy drinks. I will no longer drink them because I think about my health... and they raised the prices.
= I wish I was more savvy in Flash instead of Photoshop...
= I am very shy, and almost impossible to approach in person. So... Good luck!
= I only like some Anime... I try to avoid the rest overall.
= All the Animes that I DO like have one thing in common - Violence.
= Pies taste awesome.
= CAKE IS A LIE.

I won't tag anybody due to the fact that this is my third time doing this...
Soon, I might end up putting my social security number up here...



FINALE

And that's the end of that.
If you read up to here, congratulations.
Your life has now less meaning. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I better go practice my cello... the HYS auditions coming up very soon...
I will see you when I do-
Cheers~
