I'm still alive. Well sort of. I was zombie-fied along the way *bam headshot*


I wouldn't want to bore you but suffice to say work tops me, and I'm still facepalming over the utter stupidity of some people who call in for help and how the agents deal with it. It doesn't help that except for the back-to-school rush, this is around the time when technologically challenged customers call in for help with things that are in the manual. I'm just glad I'm free from the cycle and am just rating these calls. ^_^

Surprisingly enough, I feel energetic. Usually the first three months of the year is the period where I basically hibernate, but I have a couple of resolutions this year, and I can' wait to get started. One is I should learn to drive this year, which is a carryover from last year's vague plans. The other is to finish fandom stuff that I've promised to finish/never continued from previous years. That list is long, but I'm going through notes and revising things, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll get around 30% of these things done by the end of the year :D

I'm still resizing and sorting the pictures I took for this year's Hetalia Day. :) Kinda tired because I've been awake since 7 am so I'm trying to psych myself up for the monstrous edits. Fortunately I think only a few dozen or so of the selected pictures will need sharpening/leveling/color contrast to make them look better, because the weather turned out fine for the most part. Well, except for that bit of drizzle during the flash mob practice. ^_^ If you were there I was the Austria with a gilbird and you didn't say "Oh hai thar!" you are evil!

By the by I am Miss not appearing in the post when I finally do upload it :D

Quick update is quick: I’ve been offline for a while because of ye postcarde projecte which I’ve been working on off and on between evaluations. I’m buying fixative tomorrow so I won’t have to ink the drawing, because my inking is terrible. ^_^ I’m almost done with the work for the week, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed I can get some additional things done before I rest up.

We’re currently expecting a storm to hit the city this weekend (better this weekend than the next O_O) and there are fears it would be just like last year’s Ondoy. I’m praying it won’t be, because Ondoy was a disaster.

Snacking in Starbucks The new (?) crème brulee macchiato isn’t that sweet, which is good, because I needed something hot but anything sweet would be too cloying. My throat’s feeling weird, and I had a bit of trouble eating the lemon poppy seed muffin I bought with the coffee. The muffin was very delicious though! I wouldn’t mind having more of those again.

Fabulous, I can see the ending! I've added Stardriver to the anime I'm watching this fall, if only because I died laughing at the crazy and magical boy transformation. So my anime watching line up is Kaminomi, Yakumo, Stardriver, and Panty and Stocking for the lulz. I forgot to download Otome Youkai Zakuro and Kuragehime to check them out.

On a random note I’m deciding what to wear for Hetalia Day in UP Diliman which is next weekend. Last year I went as Gakuen!Russia, but I have to go to Ongaku’s Luna Sea gig in the evening, so I’d rather wear something I can keep on wearing till night. I have the option of going as Children’s day Austria, but I’ll have to make a longer vest and fit the capris better. I could also go as that welcome screen!Austria from the Kitayume site, but that means I still have to make the vest. ^^; Lastly, there’s another vest!Austria I kinda like too. Decisions! Too bad I’m a third decanate Capricorn who often wibble among the choices. ^^; Any suggestions? Note that for any of these three options, I still need to make a vest. >_>

Apparently, my weekends will be hectic this month. Last weekend we went to Cosplaymania for both days and saw Jesuke in person~♥ This coming weekend I'll be going to see AD-kun and I'm wondering if I should dress up in casual!Kaito. >_> The cosplay competition is limited to students but - *shrugs*

I got so frazzled by the thought I'd be busy this month I made this as my wallpaper.



In other news: work has been surprisingly easy, but I'm expecting trouble come third week of the month. We'll be getting some new agents to evaluate by then, which is always troublesome because they're not used to the procedures and have long calls. It didn't help someone in IT accidentally deleted some of the files we need to submit reports and stuff. They're already trying to recover the files, but still it's a big annoyance :|

I spent way too much time resizing the brocade for the brim. :(

Also hee, Unconventional which is a Severus/Remus/Lily friendship fic about them meeting in a local Sci-Fi con. And it's all for me~♥

So guess who realized this?

Cosplay Mania X is this weekend, and not next weekend, and she has yet to sew anything?

*is rearranging her schedule*

I have around 14 postcards that are looking for a good place to go to. They're rather random shots of jeepneys, probably the most Filipino of vehicles. In case you want me to draw or drabble on it and you don't want prying eyes to see (Hi there, cousin!) I can put it in an envelope.

Comments are screened :D

EDIT Found a picture of the postcards I forgot I took. :D

Hi! I'll be posting the pictures I took from the Best of Anime/Bookfair trip later (I still need to resize them!) but surprisingly enough, I didn't buy a lot of things then. I just got another copy of Harry Potter book 3 - my old copy is lost somewhere in the black hole that is my room - and some Vocaloid and Hetalia pins to put on my bag.

BLIND GO FICS ARE UP!

Please read and enjoy this round's theme Sai. Also, I'll be making a screened guessing post soon at the fic journal with a couple of hints that will be very vague! ^_^

Hi! I'm turning in early today because I need to wake up and trek all the way to the other side of the metro to go to this thing:


Pray that it won't rain! Yes I accept all puns about his name~♥

On a random note, have some photo spam about things in my room. They say you learn something about people based on how their rooms are. ^_^

( Random? Why yes! )

So anyway, how has your day been?

Note: Um, if you don't repost me on fb/twitter, I won't do it to you too, in a perfect example of mutual "not cool, lj, fixing privacy concerns should be done before releasing features" sentiments.

So apparently, I would write weird drabbles on the drop of a hat on the kifu_archive support thread. Huh, I don't remember writing those and if it wasn't for the author ID I'd probably just glance through them.

So dreamlessness recently posted about a site where you can make dolls. The designs are based on avatars in TinierMe, and seriously, they are cute! Also there's a bit of artistic license here and there - you can see that some items were definitely based on certain anime or manga, but not enough to make you raise your eyebrows. :D I ended up making a couple of sets for my original original characters, and really, don't click the link unless you have hours to spare.

( I had to put a cut because they're kinda big. )

Snupin Santa The Snupin Santa assignments came out yesterday, and massive squeeing was heard. :D Goodness, I'm being ambitious with my plans, but here's to making it to the deadline!
