Welcoming Baby Edgar!

Just a quick post to say that the parasite in my belly has moved out (regrettably through Cesarean as he stayed breech thanks to cord being around his neck keeping him in place and my blood pressure went sky-high), though if you've been following my Twitter you'd have already known this days ago... >_<;

Meet Edgar, the new family member terrorizing everyone else to do his bidding for the next decade.

This was a really lucky shot. I wanted a smiling photo but caught a wink!  SHUTTER CHANCE!

It was a hard journey, but one I was happy I made and grateful it went by pretty smoothly despite the rocky start and the sudden surgery. Here's to a great future in our family!

I is stupid DERP

I seem to have this issue when uploading this image to Blogger. It gets auto-resized a little. The actual width is 500px, and I've been tearing my hair off since last night trying to figure out what was wrong. Gave up eventually and left it alone since it's still legible. 

But yea I am sometimes this stupid. orz

Wrap-Up : 2012

Man was this entry loooooong overdue. *sweeps off 3 inches of dust from the blog*

A lot of changes in life for 2012, many times I wanted to actually blog about it (even this wrap-up was meant for 1st January 2013!) but lost motivation here and there (and a few doses of laziness added into the mix). To summarize my 2012 in a few major points (warning: more text than pictures) :

Inspiration...? Take two.

Initially had another strip in mind, but it didn't turn out to my liking, took me quite a while to come up with another. Was drawing blanks until this happened.

Now I shall run to bed. ><

Inspiration...?

...I swear, I really had some extra free time and was going to draw an update.... then it hit me.

The colour strip is not permanent, I just thought having colour this time adds to the flavour better. ><

I have one more strip in mind which I hope to kick up here before Diablo 3 hits. Here's to me not procrastinating!

Brace yourselves, Diablo 3 is coming. IN TWO DAYS.

Wrap Up : 2011

2011 wasn't a very good year for me.

I promised myself I would bring this blog up again, but I didn't manage to update it as much as I wanted to.

I finally got a job, and I was determined to stick with it to fix my life, but I lost that job in September. The next 2 months I tried to go for interviews in a different line, looking for one that will want a Japanese translator, but my major being Animation and Multimedia Design made it hard because most Japanese companies locally are construction/factories/accounting/banking jobs. I couldn't land jobs I was hoping for. Luckily, someone wanted to hire the team I was in with in my previous job to a new place, and this job starts January 3rd. I hope this one stays.

My home lost our very first furkid, Hazel our Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

I couldn't clear all the debts I promised I would. I seem to have problems saving money. It's like every time I manage to save a sum, something breaks down and I need to fork out to repair it. Kinda like the scenario in Pixar's UP. =/

I didn't manage to make a proper doujin for Comic Fiesta nor cosplay as I wanted to.

I got hit by UTI twice. After managing to stay clean for slightly over a year.

Despite all these, 2011 has brought me a mountain of experience I didn't gain in 2010. I got to work with Japanese stars, even though only for 2 days. I learnt a lot more from my job, as short term as it was. I made a whole lot of new friends and got closer to those who were already friends. I became aware of a lot of my capabilities and my limits. I found new places within my town which I never knew before, and by my own discovery by just walking outside. I got to know myself a whole lot better, and I saw new doors open for me, and new goals setting up.

With this, I leave behind all the bad in 2011, and will be bringing all the good I've gained to 2012. May 2012 be a better year for me, and for all of you. Thank you Eric my beloved husband, my friends, my family and my fellow readers here for being there through the harsh journey through 2011. I hope to still have your support for 2012!

Happy New Year everyone!

Comic Fiesta 2011 Wrap Up!

Yay finally some free time after some much needed RnR!!

Those who know me personally know I'm also part of the committee of Comic Fiesta. This year, we had the biggest (...well we say that every year LOL) CF ever, held on 17th and 18th December 2011 in KLCC Convention Centre. I know Day 1 was pretty bad and there's plenty of sources online elaborating that so I will skip that and just focus on what I did and where was I during CF.
