Mini-Update 2

I had my hair cut. :3

But then, I had the most horribly god-awful breakout of acne I have EVER experienced, so no pictures. >:

Also moved back to the Philippines. A lot of things changed here in the year and a half I’ve been gone. The little area which was mostly quiet and suburban is not getting its ass kicked with urban development. Buildings are going up, houses are filling up the empty neighborhoods and bringing all the noisemakers with them. I think there’s twice as much exhaust pollution here now than before, and before was pretty bad. Not to mention that traffic has gone to a ridiculous point of inaccessibility. Feel free to shave an extra two hours off your day solely for traveling. And bring a mobile toilet in your car.

Know what I miss about the Philippines? The roaches. The goddamn roaches. How could I have lived without them. -w-

I also missed the food. Since I’ve been dieting, I’ve been craving more vegetables and seafoods, which the best my pallet can handle are Philippine cuisine. Been trying to learn to cook those kinds of dishes, but the states usually isn’t equipped with the same exotic ingredients you can find here.

But besides that, things are going alright. I’m in more of an art mood than I was before so maybe I’ll be able to put up more drawings and such and maybe even get back into working on commissions. Lots of big projects at the moment, and perhaps I’ll be able to get to work on the rest of my blog pages for commissions and my portfolio.

In the meantime, I do sketches of mah buddy Luke cause it was his birthday recently and I dun give him enough love. >3>

Mini-Update

A lot of things happened, a lot of things going on that I would have a journal full of meaningful and riveting tales…but that would be for a time when I can calmly collect my thoughts long enough to do so. Lately I’ve been mostly distracted by vidya games, mostly TF2 and, recently, Killing Floor.

I mostly play Pyro Dodgeball nowadays, which is a good alternative to the ‘run and shoot and watch your ass get blown up/backstabbed’ style of regular TF2 play. Oh, you still get blown up – you’re airblasting rockets and nukes at each other after all. But it won’t require as much concentration and organized teamwork. You basically got two teams of Pyros and a rocket spawner. The goal is to outlast the other team by making sure you –DON’T- get blown up by rockets by way of simply airblasting incoming projectiles as per traditional Dodgeball, or, taking a twist by actually distracting the opposing team by way of airblasting them around the map, either into a hole, pit, fire, or just constantly juggling them enough to distract them from protecting themselves. Voogru is one of the better game servers with an excellent community behind them and a variety of gimmicky maps. If you wanna try your hand at it, you can visit their forums here: http://www.voogru.com

I’ll make a more detailed journal soonish.

P.S:
I had a semi-good sketch available, and the realized retarded Sai didn't save it. ):< So this will have to do for the moment.
