With Anime Central being only days away, it might be a good time to tell you that I got an Artist Alley table with . Once again, I didn't really make that many "art" pieces to sell (using the term "art" loosely here). There's going to be more focus on crafts and earrings. I should be doing more fan art and original character art to promo my upcoming comic/manga project but I have 2 last minute cosplay to make and they are really taking up a lot of my time. (Also, can I refer to my book as a manga? I don't think I can even call it a manwha since I feel that it's more amateur compare to the established works out there.)

As usual, I am having trouble managing my time and using it wisely. Instead of working on things for ACen, I keep getting distracted. Like... I made a account JckWar, watched the whole season of Project Runway All Stars (when I should be watching Tiger and Bunny), and read 2 volumes of Noblesse. Speaking of Noblesse, that manwha(?) is so addicting and the art is so pretty. It has an interesting mix of comedy and drama/thriller. And it's about modern day vampires (though it also brushes up on other mythical beings) without the Twilight romance... so far.

For ACen I'll being doing 2 cosplays, one on Friday and another on Saturday. On Saturday, I will be Pao Lin/ Dragon Girl from Tiger and Bunny. Still working on the jumpsuit right now and is having some difficulties with certain areas. It's definitely going to be badass. And by badass, I literally mean bad ass, as the ass of the jumpsuit is really, really bad. :< Hopefully people won't notice much but that's probably the first place perverts look. Damn you, perverts! Friday's cosplay is a surprise. A good surprise? It'll be a nostalgic one to some people.  



The Monday right after ACen, I am leaving for Shanghai (amongst other places) and I won't be back till late June. It's crazy I know but that's how my dad booked the tickets. He almost made me miss ACen. So on Sunday, as soon as I get home, I need to unpack, do laundry, and repack. To be frank, I am slightly dreading it since I'm be spending a lot of time with my dad and he is somewhat unreasonable and an embarrassment (he goes beyond the "embarrassing parent" category). After going to Shanghai for 7 days, I will being going to Hong Kong. Kinda excited about that since it's been a while since I went there all the stories my friends had told me about their recent aboard project there made it seemed so much more fun and magical that what I've remember. Plus I'll actually able to understand the language because everyone there speak Cantonese (and some English). I'm also going to visit some other parts of China too. Don't get me wrong, I like China, but they have a stupid ban on many of the major America websites that I use so it's going to be a hassle to communicating with families and friends.

My big goal for this trip is to get artistic inspirations and maybe learn more about art from a different perspective. That is one thing I am excite about for this trip. I am also going to see if they have any conventions going on. I know the big one ACGHK won't be till late August but there might be some little ones going on.



When I return, Joy and I are going to do a gallery show in the summer. We were supposed to do one in spring but since I'm press with time due to ACen and a sudden vacation (also we didn't do much work to show), we ended up postponing it till I return.

Then some girl friends of mine, mainly Alisha and Amy, wanted to do a road trip to Canada (if not Canada then California). We randomly decided on this in the theaters when the credits for Mirror Mirror began to roll. It either going to be very fun or very irritating or maybe a little of both. At least it won't be a dull summer though.



Random note: The spell-check on google chrome does not recognize "amongst" as a word. It also does not recognize "google" which is kinda fail.
