携帯小説とアニメーション

    So as I mentioned in my main page, I've started watching [Flower Boys Next Door]. And now I just finished writing my homework for japanese class (I wrote about 携帯小説), and luckily I just found this page from a user who is putting her japanese skills to practice by translating the Koizora cellphone novel. I want to do that too with a book that I bought in japan but I don't have the time to translate it. >.< Because...

    I'm busy working on a story for animation class. The first thing that came to my mind was making a comedic explanation of myth verses reality, where myth is what actually happened and reality is what the narrator wants to happen (extremely fast pace). Who is the narrator? A girl who sits in her history class (slow pace).

    There are other ideas that I have but because I have to keep it short (because it's a class project), but I will develop the 'bigger picture' with the other animation classes. It really sucks to do it this way, but at least I will have some of it done. Maybe as I learn more, the story will get better.

    Here are the other ideas that I had:

A girl who keeps a blog (not many viewers), and has visions of alternate history when she goes to sleep. At first she believes these are just dreams and are nothing significant. So each day or so, she writes these visions and her experiences on her blog. Once her visions are written down, the visions become real and the world around her begins to change. She only notices subtle changes at first, but then she notices even bigger changes. Sometimes she may wake up to the same music/the same voice/the same smell. Sometimes she may see people who resemble very closely the people in her vision. With the help of her friends, they start to question why she has these visions, what do they mean, is there someone that can help her, was she suppose to have these visions, does someone else have visions, etc. Some visions have good consequences that were better than the original world, while others have alternate consequences not desired. The only things that stay the same are her written words on her blog.

Every time she falls asleep/zones out/time feels slow/boring, her historic imagination takes over and she imagines an alternate reality of history using the people around her as the main characters. When she wakes up, she mixes her imagination with reality in order to make life more interesting and fun.

    If you have any ideas, let me know. :P

Ordinary Days and Guys

  So I just wanted to mention really quickly this app that I have used for a while now. It's a diary app called ORDINARY DAYS. You can write daily entries, quotes, and has a to-do list. It also looks very clean and available in multiple languages. I absolutely love it. If you have time and if that is something you are interested in, go check it out. :P

  On another note, school has been in session for about 1 month now and I feel like I am enjoying my time and honestly liking the classes that I am taking. ^^ I hope your days are going well. I know how it feels to be soooo stressed and not knowing what to do, but just take the time to be with a friend who is close to you and is willing to help you figure out why you are feeling so down, or just that friend that knows you are having a tough time and creates a relaxing environment where you can just pour out all of your worries.

  So with that in mind, take care of yourself, take the time to relax, hang out with friends, go have fun while still working (or studying), and yea :D. 

  Also I found this cool site called gettheguy.co.uk.  It's for those of us who are single and just want to get inside a guy's head and figure out what to do so that we feel a bit more confident in how to get the guy, as well as know how to get him. :P

               

Ribbons and more ribbons

    School has officially started, and I am bombarded with homework, but I still have time to draw. So today I just finished with this little lady. I called her Ribbons Ribbons. She loves bling and drapy fabrics, and especially loves adding ribbons to her wardrobe.
    Now I have all my concepts written down (how to draw my eyes, good scale/measurement proportions, how to look more sharp and less blurry), so from now on all my chibis and other types of artwork will have some consistency to them.
    Hope you like it and happy studying. ^^v

Blogger Ipad App

Has anyone seen the blogger app for ipad? A few days ago it didn't even exist. You could download the app on the ipad, but it would be the iphone version. Well now no more! There is an actual version of blogger app for ipad.

Good Points:
1. clean style
2. easy to use (for posting and drafting)
3. can edit previous posts

Bad Points:
1. doesn't have different fonts (the ones you choose for how you want your blog to look like)
2. doesn't have editing options when writing a post therefore
3. can't move pictures to the left, right, or center, and can't add links

But otherwise I am glad they made the app.
(Hey they should sponsor me for talking about their app! Totally serious!)

It's way better than not having an app at all, and I can't wait to see if they add those editing options. Plus now I don't always have to sit in front of my laptop just to write a post, and hopefully I get more viewers now that I can make posts more regularly.

I can make a posts using my ipad when I'm in class or make a draft when I'm on the train and wait when I get internet connection to post it! There are certsi times when i'm on the train that I lose internet connection, and it jusr sucks. But at least with the app you can also save your draft and not lose any data.

交換日記

Lately I have wanted to write more, specifically in a diary. And sometimes it's a little boring to write to myself not knowing if someone is reading (in this blog), or my personal diary. So I looked if there were any apps for exchange journals, and I found the app called 交換日記, which is available in Japanese and English depending on your Iphone language settings.

Personally, I also looked online and so far have found nothing. All I find is that in 1990's in Japan exchange diaries were popular with girls in school. I didn't know this at all. When I was in middle school and high school I exchanged notebooks with close friends because I thought it was fun, and it was a way for us to talk about personal things or just things that interested us. Sometimes I would write during classes too.
I had no clue that some people in Japan also did this.

Though when I tried to find exchange diaries (交換日記) online, I got the impression that the information online was saying that the idea from exchange diaries came from Japan? Regardless, I think this has also been a popular thing in other countries.

~~~~This is where I transition~~~~

Does anyone want to do an exchange diary with me? I really want to do one, and I think it would be interesting to write to someone.

It's almost like being penpals right?! I love doing that too. And if you know spanish or japanese, I can do in that language too. But probably my japanese is still (I think) weak, my japanese diary will be limited... >__<

Still, I encourage you to contact me or leave comments with your thoughts. ^^ Stay warm this winter!
