uhh hi. Was sick the past 2 days for unknown reasons(must be some weird reaction to the shots I had) Haven’t worn glasses since almost 8 years ago but I decided to get one 2 days ago coz my bad eyesight was making me cause mistakes in my work. So here it is. It’s so weird wearing glasses again.. might take me a few days to get used to it. I can now finally experience 1080p HD resolution IRL O_O /lol
Sorry if I’m not able to view all the blog posts I missed while I was away during the weekend >_< Also, it seems like I’ve gotten new followers lately? Hi guys! I hope you don’t mind me posting some random stuff besides drawings every once in a while @_@
My arms hurt. ow.
Doc said I needed anti-rabies shots too (even though I was just scratched by my cat) so now both my arms feel a bit bruised from 4 injections. Everyone in my family is squeamish at the thought of 4+ injections but I guess I’m too used being poked by needles in the hospital in the past so it’s the least of my probs right now.
I’m just bummed right now that my arms hurt and I can’t draw :(
Though, much thanks to archer-and-anders and a1879 for enlightening me more on the subject. Was a bit worried earlier when my mom’s friend told me the effects happen later on(like after 10yrs) and that people die from that O_o
And so, I’ll be going back next week and the week after to get my follow up shots.
Meanwhile, my cat is blissfully asleep without a care in the world (except for his food).
*sigh*
Me: (oh it’s the weekend already! I NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND MEET PEOPLE)
*sends text message to friends* “Hey who’s free today? let’s hang out!”
(no one is replying :()
*receives text message*
“Sorry, I’m not free today, meeting someone else”
Me:
“ahh it’s cool, maybe next time?”
“sorry, I’m busy next week too”
Me: (feeling social deprivation) NEED—TO—MEET—SOMEONE—NOW—-MUST—GET—OUT—OF—HOUSE
/pulls hair
EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I spend 5 days a week working from home, of course I’d want to get out of this friggin house on the weekend and hang out with people besides my family. I dunno how other people can belittle that luxury of hanging out with people T_T
On commissions, work, etc.
Hi there :D Happy new year to everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Resuming regular work after the holiday slump, and now I’m getting pretty busy again.
So, I’d like to let everyone know I won’t be taking any commissions/requests/art trades right now. Besides the fact that I’m feeling the flu right now, I don’t think I’ll be able to work on commissions/requests/art trades and finish them soon now that I’m preoccupied with tasks for work.
I apologize to those who have messaged me for their commission requests, I cannot accommodate them right now, but I’ll let you know when I’m open for commissions again.
Also, I seem to have gotten new followers over the holidays?! Awesome. Thanks guys! I hope I don’t disappoint haha :P
Oh, and this doesn’t mean that I won’t be posting some personal art in the meantime. I still make doodles and sketches over lunch time for practice :D Thank you guys for understanding.. @_@
Some thoughts..
As much as I love tumblr and all, I kinda wish there’s an option to reply to comments on a blog post without having to message that person or make a new blog post for the reply.
And.. it’s the last day of the year here. FINALLY. 2011 wasn’t a good year for me.. a lot of bad stuff happened.. funny how bad stuff still happens even when one is working from home and supposedly safe from the dangers of the outside world..
Well, on the upside, I’ve worked on 2 games this year :D I also learned a lot from my fellow colleagues and artists. I’ve also met wonderful friends here in tumblr and the DA fandom.
So… here’s to 2012! I hope it brings us all good fortune(and hopefully the world won’t end yet)
Heeeyy, who’s going to the…
Philippine Game Development Festival this saturday (Dec. 10)?
It’s like our local version of GDC(game dev conference @ San Francisco USA) I guess. It’s my first time attending a game dev conference and I’m super excited about it. Our company (Boomzap Entertainment) is the gold sponsor for the event and it’ll be held at my college (De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde) so I can’t wait to go back there… I miss my school T_T We’ll have a table there where you guys can check out demos of our games. I’ll be a booth babe manning the table along with some of my co-workers and my boss and co-worker are guest speakers there.
(and then some personal stuff below)
Crunch crunch crunch.
Sorry for keeping quiet the past… week? or two? I hadn’t really noticed.
It’s crunch time at work and I barely have time to do anything else X_X only managing to sneak in a couple of hours to play Assassin’s Creed Revelations and trying to crank out some artwork after work.
So, how are you guys?
