Up to Dates..

The poster votes are in and have been tabulated. Unfortunately my group's poster didn't win but it was a fun experience! Congrats to my friends' group that won and had a near tie! XD

School work is going decently well (I suppose) just hard to think creatively.. it's like my brain has been squeezed dry and it's running on fumes. However there will be more artwork to come! So thank you for the patience, my dear readers~ C:

Ciao~

S2.American Horror Story: Asylum

I've actually finished this season quite a while ago.. before the week of school started; and I have to say that it's quite good too! There's a lot dealing with "faith and religion" in this part of the series because it is set back in time where mental wards were run by the church(?) I'm not sure of my history.. but anyway, I enjoyed the story and how it was presentented. The transitions between present and current future were smooth and easy to follow. However,  there is still the slight factor that it messes with your mind while watching. If one is an attentive viewer, you'd catch a lot of the details. I, unfortunately got spoiled by my sister,  so I knew what to expect at some parts.

That's all for now, thanks for dropping by~!!!

A Donut for Thought..

It's already been two weeks since the start of classes and I am having quite a lot more fun than expected this 4th semester. I'm sure it is still a bit too early, but I hope this pace continues.

Here's a little peek at what I've done in Flash, one of the newest programs I'm learning to use.. and it's quite fun! However, there are some nicks here and there when I have no idea what I'm doing sometimes.

Thank you for dropping by~!!!

First Day Back

It's the first day back to school. There's a lot more people in the fall semester in comparison to summer.. many lost new faces walking about the campus too. I realized that my walking pace was also much faster, I guess it's like trying to lose the freshman from following you to get around and asking directions. I know that is a bit mean of me, but personally,  I have a horrible sense of direction. So I wouldn't know how to give directions.. |||orz

Visual Development II
- Learned new insights and "rules" about composition and the personality of the camera to aid with both illustration and film.
- Reviewed the 180º rule when it comes to composition and was elaborated too..
- The geometry of a composition and other elements used it film and and human psychology.

Interactive Illustration
- Working in Flash! I'm gonna need a lot of help with this, but I think it'll be fun!

Just a little short blerb, thanks for visiting!

S1.American Horror Story

I've recently finished watching season 1 American Horror Story, well, technically I decided to pick up on it again. I first watched it during my flight to Taiwan last summer and fell asleep due to it's slow, slow pace. I didn't watch it again until recently when my sister spoke about it and suggested it was good, scary, and something I'd enjoy. So, I gave it a try and here is my verdict:

Break Ending Soon

It's been a splendid two-week rest from school. I have been quite busy from the company of my family.. having gone to several outings with relatives and grandparents. It was the most I've ever went out in the span of two weeks (seriously, do not want more). Although, one afternoon was spent giving my aunt and grandmother a manicure which dragged into the evening (due to long talk).

Another thing that's new during the break!
Finally got a Wii-Fit plus, wooooo! So, mostly been playing that and working up a sweat. Who knew hula hooping could be so tiring when trying to aim for high scores, haha!! I do recommend it to those who haven't gotten it (yet). It's fun and you learn quite a lot about hidden physical strengths and weaknesses.

Break!

Summer semester is completed! I am thankful this rough and hard-worked semester is over. I learned a lot through the guidance of my professors and experience was rough but worth it. I'm glad I can have a good two weeks to breath, relax, get caught up with some personal studies and social time with my besties!! Gawd, I miss them both..

Time to get crazyyyyy~!!!!

Super Busy

It's already almost halfway through August and I have to say, it's been quite busy. The compressed course which required roughs to final renders in a day definitely raised the bar on pressure. Not to mention the bad-timing of large projects from other courses altogether increased the stress and decreased the hours of sleep. Not fun.. orz

I'll be posting my works after this week. It's Exam week, so FIGHTING!!!

Work and Sleepless Nights

To ease labors of art projects in school is best to get started immediately, work fast any, and precise.. Easier said than done right? It all comes down to personal time management; which I need to strengthen! It's a bit depressing when one puts full effort into a project and gets fully thrashed by a critique.

Although, given the opportunity to improve on the project, I'm simply hoping I will be able to finish it!

Anywho.. time for bed~ Good night my fellow visitors. Thank you for stopping by~!!

Net Seizure

Internet.. we've all grown so accustomed to it. It's become a huge influence and one of our biggest reliabilities; whether it is entertainment, harvesting information, or communication.. our society has gotten much too comfortable with the easy access to almost everything.

And because of this.. is why it is SO frustrating when trying to do work!! Arghhhhhh!!!! (V n V)

33 Degrees C

Today is so incredibly hot with the sun burning down overhead. I woke up quite early, around 6:50am to get started with work but fell asleep around 10-ish;;;

I ended up having a weird yet interesting dream influenced by the heat. It started with me sealing everything in my house air-tight and then filling it with water.. which then I simply swam around inside the cool water. I suppose the water was magic? That or it was my house because water did not leak out the open windows. So, whenever the wind blew in a cool breeze, it created air bubbles for me to breathe.

I guess this dream is mainly my want of cool water to go swimming? (⌒0⌒;)

Summer Break!

It's finally the break and it starts off with a humid rainy day. Time to get some chores done! Washed the cage of my sister's adorable hamsters and did laundry too. Starting break work tomorrow!

Thunder Showers!!

Today was super hot and the cooling refreshment poured down as an evening rain. It was very pleasant listening to the rain and gentle thunder. I hope it rains a bit more so the temperature cools a bit more.

End of short little blurb.. c:

Victoria Day

It's finally Victoria Day and the weather is so nice, maybe a bit too nice. Today was so hot and sunny with a warm breeze now and then. I hope it will rain tonight a bring the temperature down a bit.

Currenly it's 29°C but feels like 36°C! (・・;)..

Children's Illustration at Osborne!

I was a fun afternoon at the Toronto Library with my Children's Illustration class last Wednesday (May 15th)~ There was a lot of historical children's books, both amazing and beautifully done.. not to mention it was very educational learning how individual books were made and the materials used. Several of my classmates took photographs but not allowed to share due to the heavy copyrights on the material.

Afterwards, a bunch of us walked to China town and had some Vietnamese food before we all headed home.

It was so awesomeeee~!!!

Crazy Weather..

The weather has gone from warm and sunny to rain and slight cloudiness.. and now, as the temperature is dropping more, it feels like Summer leaped backwards and it's semi-winter-spring weather. Today's windy chills were the least of it, but quite surprising is the sudden hail. The weather's gone down to shits..

I don't miss this cold..!! ; A ;

Hello 2013!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable fun day celebrating and counting down to the new year! I had a pretty good hot pot dinner at my relative's home. I didn't do much celebrating this year.. well I don't really celebrate the new year, haha! It's the Lunar New Year that counts for me.

My neighbor celebrated with fireworks in their backyard and my parents watched the HK countdown to the 2013. xD

But anyway.. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday! And here's to top it off... a movie link to a recently watched movie during the Christmas week! Enjoy~ The Possession

~ Personal side-notes and spoilers.. ~

The Day After Yesterday

It's the day after yesterday of the so-predicted "end of the world" apocalypse (again).. and guess what? Nothing happened. However, I can assume that some may have been foolish to believe the world was ending once again due to prior media influences of said movies: 2012 Doomsday (2008), 2012 (2009), 2012 Ice Age (2011)..etc. or perhaps television shows hosted by Discovery Channel or National Geographic which may have discussed the plausible "end of the world" theories and possible happenings. -shrug-

Recently, I've been watching a fairly new program hosted by Discovery Channel: Curiosity (2011) which has some interesting episodes; one which discusses what might happened if the world were to end.

For those who are interested, here's the link: How Will the World End? (Version 2)

Snow White and the Huntsman

A late night movie, Snow White and the Huntsman~ It was a movie that I've wanted to watch for awhile because of the slight plot twist on the fairy tale.. and as well as the actors/actresses in the film, haha~ ♥

Some personal notes and spoilers to those who didn't watch it.

Holiday Cupcakes~

Mom got these lovely cupcakes as an early Christmas gift from a client~!! I have to say, they're absolutely gorgeous! However, it's something I would personally love to make and give to my friends instead of eating them, haha! ♥ Well.. maybe eat just the decorating chocolate and that's it.  Pretty big waste right? I know.
