While you wait …

Check out a really cute comic my brother Eddie drew then colored on Photoshop!

Click to see a bigger version! It is supposed to be read from right to left and was apparently inspired by my “looks”. Hopefully those who know me will see NO resemblance whatsoever =P

Update

<Currently working on a semi-big project, upload images when I am finished!>

In a super positive good mood … maybe being sick was a good things since it gave me the free time to really sit down and think

Oh my …

“A city study last year found 30 percent of New Yorkers were consuming more than 1,000 calories at lunchtime.” – Reuters

That is absolutely disgusting … SERIOUSLY?

Happy Birthday!

A quick Happy Birthday!! To two very special people Michael and Sharmie!!!!!  Hope all your wishes come true

I just finished my first real attempt at watercolors! I’m quite happy with it but I’m not going to post it yet since I did it for someone. A surprise isn’t a surprise when everyone else sees it first!

Oh and I really liked the previous month’s issue of IdN magazine … here’s one of my favorite spreads!

<When I think too much about one particular thing … I end up thinking myself into confusion. When I realize what it is that I’m doing … I attempt to uncover what I’m actually thinking and when I finally get to the truth it scares the hell out of me which reminds me why I was thinking so much about it in the first place>

Lucky Me :)

Jumbo: The Floating Tourist Trap

Went here for dinner tonight with a few relatives … you pretty much pay to look at the bright lights and highly ornamental interior and you don’t really get much for what you have to pay.  But it is quite entertaining watching others pay 20 USD to try on “stereotypical” Chinese (wedding) costumes just to take a picture … ahh I had fun drawing all the interesting things that I saw (in the post below).

My Love, My Baby

So I’m finally back in Hong Kong … it’s been a week now and I realized that I haven’t done much besides taking out my wisdom teeth, buying a whole load of books and hanging out with my loved ones.  I feel like I’ve finally rested enough and am ready to start my SUMMER 08!!!!!!!

Here’s what made me motivated:

A little about him …

His name is Rocky, my parents got him for me (and my brother) when I was ten.  We were having some problems then so I took care of my little brother while he cooked lunch for the two of us and I’d take him to the library in Central during the weekends or if he was good I’d bring him all the way to Stanley to watch my parents work.  One day we were SO good that my parents rewarded us by giving us our first and only pet (fishes don’t count they die too easily) … someone had saved a batch of puppies in the sewers and were giving them out … there were 8 of them all identical but I chose this one because he stuck his head in my shoe and walked into the wall because he couldn’t see.

Nicknames!

Broccoli (sounds like Rocky)
Rocky Baby
Rock Rock Baby ♥

Likes:

Tennis Balls, Empty water bottles, kitchen/ toilet rolls, Sleeping, Playing Hide and Seek, Being stepped on, and Food – Any type of Meat (Sausages), Grapes, FIgs, Sweet Potato, Candy, Milk, Seafood, Bread and pretty much everything really …

Dislikes:

Alarms, Cockroaches, Water, Showering, Being ignored, Foods – All types of vegetables, Apples, Avocados and tomatoes (just like the rest of my family)

Weird Habits:

- He sits in front of you (if not on you) and starts drooling uncontrollably when he wants to eat what you have in your hands
- When alarm bells start ringing he will hide in the bathtub
- When he gets really excited his whole body shakes
- He walks into glass doors

I loveeeeeee my Rock Rock BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY especially since he stayed and watched me all night yesterday since he knew that I wasn’t feeling well … ♥

Why are Wisdom Teeth called Wisdom Teeth???

Yesterday I went to the dentist to take out my wisdom teeth … it was pretty horrible watching them use huge tools and feeling how hard he pushed and pulled. I cannot get over the fact that I have three stitches in my gums … and I thought that I could live my life free of stitches but at least I still don’t have any broken bones!

<EDIT> Never mind … ahh my dreams of having no broken bones and stitches have been shattered … I just found out that I had a greenstick fracture in my lower leg when I was 3 years old. Ah well I have plenty of other dreams to keep me in my fantasy world.

I heart Gossip Girl

OH MY FUCKING GOD! I just love Gossip Girl … but then again who doesn’t?  I hate how I’m going to miss next weeks episode because I’ll be on a plane on my way back home.  I hope that the season finale will be amazing and that Georgina will get what she deserves!!!!!

Just a few random thoughts …

I’ve been having a lot of random thoughts lately …

1) I think that there needs to be a balance in life and in everything we do.
2) Doing creative things gives me the balance that I need and crave in life
3) I realized that I try too hard to meet the expectations that people have for me
4) I think that Derek should leave Rose and just get back together with Meredith
5) I need to relax and to be myself
6) I think that every minute spent unhappy is a minute wasted
7) I think that people should think before making generalizations
8 ) I know that everything will be okay once I get back home
9) But the thought of losing my personal space terrifies me
10) I am currently craving for some communication and a way to feel the connection that I believe I still have with the people that I care about

Despite everything, I can’t wait for my summer to get started.  I know that soon I will have many reasons to smile, to laugh simply because I feel like it and to be carefree and happy

The semester is finally coming to an end … its been so long and so frustrating every step of the way.  I think this goes for Christy too but we’re both extremely thankful for Barbara’s support … whom I can’t seem to talk to without bursting into tears.

Random Thought

Every summer there is always one thing or another that doesn’t work out for me. But somehow this one feels different to me. For once, instead of worrying about all the things that might go wrong, all I see are the promises and all the opportunities for me to do all the things that I want to do. Is it because it’s the second last one that I’ll ever have … or is it simply because I get to spend it with the one I care about?

I never really considered the possibility of what I would do if I didn’t get an internship, if I didn’t get to go learn the things that I planned to learn or if I didn’t get to go to the places that I wanted to visit. Somehow I just feel like everything will be okay in the end because none of it really matters now that I have what I want and I trust that things will just work out in the end …

Did I really change this much over one semester? Am I overly optimistic??? In being optimistic and trusting am I putting pressure on those around me?

Cai Guo Qiang

I am going to go see this next Friday!!! I wonder if it’s real …

 

 

Aw man … I’m going to be so tempted to go poke it to see if it’s real.  I wonder how close I can get to it without the guards noticing …
