doing ok 24/09/2009

quite a bit of my recent stress has been alleviated.  not quite gone, but at least i can take a break.  there’s still a lot of REALLY important things i need to do, but i think i will fair ok.  daddy just left for the philippines a week ago.  he usually goes off there these days so nii-san and i are pretty used to it.  but he didn’t call us when he was on his way to japan like he usually does so i was freaking out.  and since then i hadn’t even heard if he had landed safely or not.  so many things went through my head while worrying about daddy’s whereabouts.  i even got sick(er) thinking about what might’ve happened.  yes.  i was literally worred sick.  but he finally gave us a ring today saying he was all right.  phew!  there goes a lot of stress.  also i think i have MOSTLY taking care of all the medicaid crap i have to deal with.  i’m hoping all i have to do is just fax the documents they need and i’m done.  *happy sigh*  feels so good.

because of that, the last few days i’ve been able to hoop again (still VERY sore, but at least i’m not nauseated by slight movement) and i’ve been very artsy.  tonight i must’ve hooped about 2 hours put together.  it’s easy to do when you watch tv.  haha.  took a few breaks of course, but it rocked.  i’m hoping to tone back up a little.  i’ve gained quite a bit of weight since i had gotten sick over a month ago.  also been doing a lot of quick sketching and a bit of painting.  i can say this because beni never reads my journal.  i’ve also been working pretty hard on beni’s birthday painting.  not sure if i’m going to be able to finish it in a timely manner, so i’m thinking about saving that piece for christmas and painting him something a little less complex.  but i’ve been doing a lot of acrylic painting as well as digital.  i also finally got corel painter.  it’s pretty hard compared to photoshop, but i’ll get the hang of it eventually.  i absolutely LOVE the watercolours!!

well, i’m going to go.  but i’ll leave you off with one digital painting i did.  happy being!

art collab 09/08/2009

i did my first art collaboration in deviantArt!  it was pretty cool.  i love talking to other artists and such.  i’ve already got a few people doing art for me of my SNK original characters.  ^^  i can’t wait for those!  here’s the first piece i got today.

pretty cool.  wish she shaded it, but that’s ok.  i’m just glad i got to work on something with another person.  ^^  here’s the original.

(made it smaller just so loading this page won’t take so long)

yay!  oh!  and i finally made my devID!  check it!

see beni!  i told you i’d eventually draw something for nazi zombies.  see the ray gun?  that’s good enough, right??  xD

if you’re on dA, i’d love it if you comment on the pictures!  you should be able to just click on the pictures and it’ll link you right to the deviations.  =3

ZOMG! derp! 25/07/2009

when it comes out, make sure to watch district 9.  it looks AWESOME!

today was the ben 10 panel and the king of fighters flash mob.  super awesome and fun!  tomorrow is the last day of SDCC.  makes me a sad panda.  it’s ok.  i think i need to enjoy being back in california.  ^^

Rae needs to post more D: 10/06/2009

sorry i gotta go – it’s time for me to fly!

nii-san is an official college graduate!  holy crap!  yeah.  i know she graduated a month ago yesterday, but she just got her diploma in the mail.  So NOW it’s official.  i’m so excited for her.  god.  i’d be graduating next year.  oh if i only stayed in school.  ehh~

haven’t blogged in a while.  been even longer since i vlogged.  oh man.  i should really edit and post my “Earth Day” vlog.  i might just have to rerecord that since it’s so old.  Dx  uhh…so what’s been up?  OH!  i met my friend Jim7 from the forums i go to.  he was actually super cool (not that i expected him not to be) and even though we never met in person before that, i felt really comfortable talking to him about whatever.  i was kinda afraid i’d scare him a bit especially since i think i act a little differently on the forums than i do in real life, but i think he thought i was a decent las myself.  hehe.  too bad he drove up north for the summer.  would’ve been cool to hang out with him again.

i made beni try on some of my wigs.  lololololololol (oh arby and the chief.  you influence my speech so much!).  he actually looked really cute.

i was going to crop out everything but the two of us, then i saw how much NERD was on my dresser and thought it was best to keep it.  yep.  beni’s umbrella shirt, my greg cipes painting under that, my ben 10 alien force omnitrix, and my treasured copy of god hand that i luckily found by chance in the brandon mall.  lulz.  dorkz. anyway, i made beni try on my short black wig on this picture which i call the “kevin 11″ wig.  hahahaha.  and because of that, i thought i’d try on my gwen wig.  aww!!  wouldn’t we make a cute kevin and gwen??  xD

lulz tiemz!  i think beni makes a better nathan keyes as kevin than the actual cartoon kevin.  xD

speaking of dressing up, i’ve decided on a new costume aside from tira.  GASP!  yep.  oh, and the fun part is, i’m going to be cosplaying a dude!

nanashi (left), laou (right)

yep!  i’m *hopefully* going to be cosplaying nanashi from sword of the stranger.  which, by the way people, it is an AMAZING movie.  watch it like WOAH!  i’m excited.  i’m planning it mainly for comic con this coming july, but i might be wearing it to metrocon (yeah.  i know, metrocon.  EWW!  long story).  i figured that if i was in costume, people wouldn’t recognise me that easily.  hahaha…  i really wish beni would just give in and cosplay laou with me, but he’s too much of a pussy to mullet-ify his hair.  oh well.  his lovely yellow locks are fine how they are.  wish they were leon-long again, but this cut is still super cute.  the costume is actually kinda important to me.  the movie was not only epic with deliciously beefy studs (uhhhh~~~<333), but it was also very moving for me.  i guess it just hit my soft spot.  i didn’t dislike any characters and that surprising because children in anime almost ALWAYS piss me off, but kotarou was just so lovable and i was heartbroken when he was betrayed by his own family.  and tobimaru REALLY made me want to get a shiba inu.  i had seen one a while ago at a puppy store and really wanted him.  went back a few months later only to see he was still there and discounted because no one wanted him.  ;-;

uhh.  just watch it!  you’ll love it.  i was afraid nii-san wouldn’t like it, so i forced her into watching it today and she loved it.  <333

beni and i went to the beach recently too.  i got a little burned and i think i got a tan.  it was fun though.  this nice couple also let us use their umbrella when they left so we weren’t burning in the sun for too long.  the water was lovely and the sky was a really pretty blue.  the day actually started out TERRIBLY, but it got SO much better after we went to the beach.  i hope we go again soon.  it was really fun.

uhh.  so i have so much more to write about, but this entry is getting long.  i’ll update more soon.  until then, ta!

ZOMG Chinese!Ben 10 18/04/2009

OMG!  i know.  i’m pretty much hated for getting so into this show, but i don’t care at this point.  look at the rare treasure i found while browsing radio plays on youtube.  (how they linked, i have no idea.)

<333333333
i have SO been wanting to do something similar to that, but since no one i know cares about ben 10, no one would be able to help me with it.  lame!  you guys suck.  joke lang!  loved it.  this is the kind of thing i’ve been wanting to do.  anyone want to make some cheesy movie when i’m in town?  xD

generator rex 29/03/2009

back online.  yeah.  time warner decided to be dicks and cut off our internet for 4 days.  i might explain later, but then again i might just get pissed.  maybe not.

so beni sent me this news article about cartoon network’s new line-up come this autumn.  some seems good.  some makes me want to cry.  LIVE ACTION shows on CARTOON network?  seriously, what the fuck?  before you know it, cartoon network is going to take the MTV route and be completely cartoonless.  whoever thought that making live action shows air on there needs to get a chainsaw to the neck.  live actions movies, i don’t mind.  like when they showed jurassic park.  haha.  good times.  speaking of live action…

EAT IT!

i hope it’s as good as Race Against Time.  *forces self to vomit*  lol.  maybe it won’t be too bad.  who knows.  this movie (Ben 10: Alien Swarm) has “zombie” written all over the cast list.  maybe it’ll be ok.  apparently one of the movie writers worked on Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.  so that means the movie is going to revolve around Gwen and it’s going to turn her into an annoying mary-sue.  *sigh*  i hated that movie..  and jessica alba…  PLEASE, Alien Swarm, only suck a little.  and btw, gift ideas, when i get my motorcycle license, someone get me Ben’s cool duds.  LOL!  jk jk.  that jacket is kinda dorky.  liked it better when it wasn’t all “hardcore” like.

oh.  off topic.  so the article mentioned this new series call Generator Rex.  it was created by Man of Action, the creators of Ben 10.  automatically, i want to watch it because of obvious reasons. then i read the description:

Generator Rex: Infected by microscopic molecular-altering nanites, 15-year-old Rex has the ability to grow incredible machines out of his body. Recruited by an organization called Providence, Rex travels the world investigating a host of biological mutations that were created by the same nanites that give Rex his powers. Generator Rex is from Man of Action, creators of Ben 10. John Fang of Cartoon Network Studios serves as supervising director.

hmm…  ok…  so this kid grows machines out of his body?  i guess that can be kinda cool.  i mean, if your bored and want to play a round of Final Fantasy Disidia, you can totally just grow a PSP.
oh man.  am i the only one getting the mental image of some 15 year old kid forming a chainsaw out of his zit?  *shivers*  kinda weird, eh?

i looked through the web for more info on Generator Rex.  same info, but i DID find a few pictures.  the art style is kinda cool.  doubt it’ll stay that way though.  i THINK rex is the kid on the bike.  another cool thing that i GUESS you can grow out of your body if you got infected with microscopic molecular-altering nanites.  maybe in the heat of battle, he can grow a Gatling Gun and be…

THE MACHINE GIRL!!!!

someone inject me with ritalin or something..  tranq me?
