I went to a bunch of events this past two months...hopefully I'll get to posting some reports or photos. It would be easier if I can just post in Flickr or something...but I like to keep my photos for friends only, which I filter a lot here on LJ already.

-Obon Fest in San Jose (7/14/2013)
-J-Pop Summit in SF (7/27/2013)
-Food Fest in SF (8/17/2013)
-Japan Expo USA 1st impact (8/23-25/2013)

Free!
I've been kinda obsessed with Free! swimming anime. Is it the first...where we have GLORIOUS ABS EVERYWHERE??? I have no idea why I have a deep love for abs hahaa. But I do...and collect figures and nekkid torsos to display on my desk for reference and viewing. This series hit my weakness. PLUS its animated by Kyoto Animation!! I never really liked their earlier works that much because of the moe style they've developed for while. But Hyouka brought me back to them with appealing character designs that fits my taste. Now I just love the charm of their characters and storytelling like in Chuunibyou or Tamako Market. And now an anime catering to girls?!!! The ultimate gift. While I didn't expect much from series besides seeing abs, there's some really nice relationship dynamic between the characters. And its just so much fun to watch! Its genuinely funny and sweet. Reading High Speed! novel also added more depth to the characters, so it was nice seeing how they incorporated it into the anime.

Merchandise wise, I've been basically buying most of the magazines where they're in the cover orz;; Already bought the guidebook and novel (ordered from japan w/expensive shipping). Same with how I try buying so much K (depending on characters tho...). Japanese magazine are so expensive!! 17-20 bucks!! How did that happen?! I look forward to getting my hands on the fanbook after the series is done! Also hope the series did well for Kyoani that they'll make a second season or more shows for girls heheh....

Enough rambling....*goes to draw some more free! fanart*

I didn't even mention I left, but yaaa I will write some sorta report later. [livejournal.com profile] lucathia_rykatu and I have been pretty much separate throughout the con, so our experiences are mostly different hahaa... I spent most of my time in line for autographs orz;; Didn't even explore dealers hall that much. I played with my new 20mm lens a bit more. So I will post photos with my report~

Traffic going back home from LA totally sucked because of all these jams and everyone trying to get home north. Longest car ride ever!!! Since I don't have any definitive deadline on my personal time now that con is over for me (minus japan expo, where i'm not selling), I'll have more time to post all the entries I need to do.

I'll write some sorta reflection tomorrow...
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes *w* And Febby's lovely Shiro/Kuroh present!! (shiro totally tops kuroh)

I don't think I've changed much of my lifestyle from last year especially the whole social part orz;;; If anything I retreated back to my hermit self (more reflection later)

Took a day off work (we get a day off on our bday!) and basically watched anime and worked on prepping for AX. Went to Home Depot to buy PVC pipes and spray paint and bought a table cloth at Target for 4 bucks! (Barcode error or something, cuz I saw it listing for $15). Dad and I did a bunch of measurement after setting up the display to make sure we don't go past the limit and then finally spray paint it. Did my display got shorter...trying to get it under 4ft. But anyways, now we have side panels so I could put more prints haha :D Sis came home from work at 7:30pm and we went to Ringer Hut. Dad complain of course, cuz he perfers his Vietnamese noodle over Japanese. Got too full that I couldn't finish my Matcha parfait. And that ends the day. No fancy party or anything. Pretty much grown out of it by 18...

Anyways, so display about done, now to finish that magi print orz;;

Already nearing end of April!!!! Jotting down my list of plans for the spring and summer~

-Finish Winter Anime Review: I ended up writing too much for each series orz;; And I have like 20 to go through...

-Spring Anime First Impressions: Waiting until I watch 3 eps for each series.

-Hawaii: Going to visit sis who's "graduating" from UH for 1.5 week. The whole family is going including grandma! Gonna try doing some life sketches there. Haven't been there since 2005.

-Fanime and Anime Expo: Ahh so close!!! Gained too much weight so I'm more conscious if I should cosplay hahaa...

-Convention Prints: K and Magi. Right now just sketching some K fanarts and figuring which one might work to print. Also touch up some fanarts that I can sell small prints of.

-Notebook Kiss Doujin/Fanfics: work on some more pages; I actually think about it every day, trying to figure out different scenarios b/c what I initially drew was too similar to the manga. So trying to change things up... I've been reading a lot of bl manga for ideas :D

-Poyo Yo! Demon: Do a bunch of clean up and hopefully [livejournal.com profile] lucathia write up more on the script.

Resume daily speedpaint: I got lazy this year, plus working on game... I need to go back to do some studies -_-;; Drawing and painting got really sloppy.

I wish I could put exercise on there haha. But dad took over the living room since he retired where I used to work out >_>;; Maybe I'll try jogging when I'm in Hawaii...

I need to start thinking of what to do for Fanime as well...Durarara print maybe... [livejournal.com profile] lucathia keeps telling me to make a Ace Attorney print. HTTYD?!! XD

I really want to do a book!!!!Doujin, artbook, sketchbook, i dunno. Probably for AX XD;; Which I got a table...but selling my own stuff instead of with Mishiri.
