"woosh" goes the wind!
Mood:  lyrical
Now Playing: Sarah Brendel's Fire
Topic: bits and pieces
and the time, it seems like it's gone by so fast too

eh heh heh hee, sorry about not posting much- it's been hard for me... ^^;; and I now have a new suppliment blog for my ramblings online as well, but beware... it's an LJ! (that is, LiveJournal)

it seems that I've found it easier to post there than here- I haven't moved there officially yet, nor do I think that I will do so (or that I should) but I wanted you to know that it was there just in case you wanted to see what else I've been up to

*laughs* nothing important there really- it's me being fluffy and rambling on about games (FF7 especially) and books and other things (I think I'll be putting my daily links on to a separate site of their own here on Angelfire though...)

****
as for myself now, I'm okay, but I have a better understanding of failure and the reasons why some people take their lives if they don't do well on exams- it's sad, but now I know why it is.

I guess I'll just elaborate on it later though as I'm a little preoccupied at the moment. *doing so many things at once at library*

I'm glad to be back! :Heart:

-Daiko~
(pray for me)

I am resolved quite happily...
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Daiko wants to draw and use art supplies!
Topic: bits and pieces

okay, I understand that I have given the impression that I have been sad/depressed lately (which wasn't exactly wrong, but I haven't said everything about that...) so I may as well give an update to where I am emotionally

and so, as I see it, things look good and are good

I've been getting out of the house recently and volunteering some of my time over at the near-by Vetrans Administrations Hospital, and it has been wonderful (- T-T okay, there are still some icky things that drive me crazy, but I accept that I don't live in a perfect world... or at least, I'm dealing with that) ...yeah, it really has, I love doing stuff especially when I get to do stuff for people and make them happy *little girl voice: I like helping! :heart:*

Actually, that above statement isn't correct
I will fix it: I LOVE helping!! :Heart: there~

and and annd~~!
...
I've been to the Mall two days this week!
-it is true that there were a lot of people there today trying to get their Christ Mass shopping done, but I was so happy to be there (especially since I spent most of my Mall time in the lovely store known as Waldenbooks where I read lots of good manga~ ee!)

so yay.

yay for surface scratching too
because that's all for now
(I'm tired and I want to go to bed early, I have a package to send tomorrow, and I need to get up around 6:20a Eastern or earlier- that also includes my brother @.@;; ooh.)

;_; and T-T indeed!
Mood:  crushed out
Now Playing: "Who are you to tell me/that I'm less than what I should be..."
Topic: bits and pieces

well folks, I had quite a lot planned for today's initial blog entry but it became lost due to an inadvertant mistake on my little brother's part (;_; I had worked on it for quite awhile though) also, my internet connection was partially to blame since my wireless was unavailable at least twice (now it's doing that again for the third time- how irksome...)

and so, that's what we have here now.

****
...

ah, here is a bit of rambling that had to do with something my little brother was watching on the tv in the room- don't mind it, it's not even put together well.

ugh hughblah!
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: the "Daiko is poor and wants to work" song*
Topic: bits and pieces

ugh, I am not feeling as good as usual,
and I'm not talking about emotional state
I'm talking about physical state

gyu~ ...I'm sick.
-I know that this isn't anything serious (I think it's something like a passing cold or a 48hr bug) but I am not sick that often and I feel... uh, "crappy"? -ack! I can't even find a proper word to describe this... ah well.

Anyways, it's just me letting you know what's going on with me and I'll do what I can in this limited state.

Pray for me, won't you?

(and do you think if I were to have something like the following, that it would be okay?

...

here it is:

I thank you in advance.

well, what do you think?)

Festive Fall
Mood:  accident prone
Now Playing: sounds of life around me
Topic: bits and pieces
Today, my little town* has started it's Flapjack Festival for the season and... I'm missing it ;_; still, though I don't want to miss out I feel somehow that this is fine and that somehow I'll get there before the end of the festival (runs from Nov. 5-7 this year)

at least, I hope so.

****
four pieces from DA:
fireflies in a jar

"How to" tutorial by Ashwings
a word of warning for this, it has a HUGE image- but it is a good tutorial if you want to learn how to CG images, so be patient!

Better than TV by Celesse

Ringwraith by Yonaz
to think, this guy did this entire piece with an optical mouse only since his tablet wasn't working ...o.0'
personally, I am also an optical mouse user and I could do something like this with the same tool, but I am beginning to feel the limitations of the mouse and am now starting to wish I had a tablet- actually, a Tablet PC would be much more preferrable in my eyes.

-------
*about my "town" it's actually a municipality of Tampa Read More...

if you just want to know about the Flapjack Festival itself then the official site should help.

-Daiko~
(the following was something of a joke, this really isn't important- the entry above this is important though.)

some of the little things*
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: *sound of Daiko thinking*
Topic: bits and pieces
the original title of this entry was "rrgh! (little annoyances and things)" but I decided to change that to something "lighter" instead.

you can read this hidden portion if you don't mind Daiko whining about Paypal

let's see a bit of where I've walked today, shall we?
DA poll: how long since you've been to an art event?
HMO's Angel Boy in Screentone

illusions by hexentanz
Wow, not only is this image beautiful, but the artist appears to have really good "art sense"- I am now quite interested in their work... and I'm amazed by their level of customization within their DA journal- I mean, I didn't even know it was possible to make it look so beautiful like that... wow.

and here's a bit more that I've found on DA today:

a few more links are hidden below

*I'll be getting to some of the "bigger things" later today in another entry if I can- I'll try to cover what I did during the weekend (two parties, All Hallowed Eve observance) as well as some of today's things (possibly, I'll cover All Saints' Day, prayer, and other things as well).

this cut was the original state that I left this entry in after I had first typed this at college earlier.
Read More...

something like a rant here.
Read More...

****
At the moment, (5:26p to be exact) I am now contemplating whether or not I should take donations for money online (ugh, I think the idea sounds horrible personally- even worse now that I've actually typed this up) I don't think that I will be taking this option, since I would much rather work and earn payment rather than accept charity... but, I won't be giving this much mulling over as I feel that this is just a light passing thought.

I'll do what I can to honestly make money, I won't resort to other options- my heart won't allow for anything other than that.

...

So, would anyone care to commission me? I do have reasonable prices, and I am willing to do artworks starting at $5 (which is quite inexpensive really)

the day before All Hallowed Eve
Mood:  quizzical
Now Playing: my favorite radio station, Spirit fm!
Topic: bits and pieces
(speaking of my favorite station, I don't have it linked in my sidebar anymore... I think I'll be changing this in the future though.)

-yes, today truly is the day before the night that was once known as a holy evening... I just learned some of the history behind this event, and it bothers me that this is not more well-known. It would be an excellent idea to have more people be aware that this day is supposedly a holy day because it is in preparation for All Saints' Day* which follows right after.

there's something hidden behind a cut here.
Read More...

and today on DA:
I ran across a new artist, Chibi Bunni-chan
she has the potential to draw even better in the future, and I like her most recent deviation even though she doesn't. ^_^;;

Angle of Fall by Nightline

Wolf Moon by Mayshing (I also enjoy her comic series that she currently has up on DA** also, she has some nice tutorials as well.

Mayshing also lead me to another artist, Tikal by way of the shoutboard in her journal (yes, I'm still referring to Mayshing- for those I have confused with my strange sentence structure. ^_^)

a favorite from the excellent artist, Maggock
this is called, Breaking Free

-------
*in the Phillipines, All Saints' Day is celebrated as a National holiday- the offices and schools are closed- they get the whole works! I wish that things were like that over here, America could sure use more holidays and time for people to be off work since we're such an overworked country. -sigh-

**please take note that this link will take you to the first page of the aforementioned "comic"

[/mostly finished entry]
(Kabi really wants his turn.)

Noo~!! -not the Vegans! -anything but that! o.0!!
Mood:  accident prone
Now Playing: *sewing machine & dryer not working*
Topic: bits and pieces

I said that because earlier, around 7:47pm here the moon was this blood red color- and if you know anything about the show, Grendizer then you will understand my apprehension well.

****
So, let's see some of what Daiko has seen today, right? Here's what I've seen today- some of these links are revisits while I have only discovered others for the first time today:

Whine by Ursulav

the Smallrus!

The Lightness of Being

Rocket House a classic favorite of mine, which I still find so wonderful.

Felicia lineart by Kaoru-chan

micahgoulart



croquille ink an example of what you can do with this ink

Tria Pantone markers

The Free Server.com

Netrulon.com

Lifetime webhosting.com

Sweetmoon's page- her open oekaki is lovely

ModBlog

Mysterious Ways
comments on aforementioned tv show.

****
"whine whine... cheese, cheese..."

see the above, that's what my younger brother likes to say (especially when I'm doing something on the computer and he wants "his turn") and so with that lovely quote, I am off! (I'm half joking of course! *belly laughter ensues* ...ack! I love you, Kabi!!)

[/semi-finished entry]

-Daiko~
(can't stop laughing now!)
