I think I'm in a present state of disbelief, as I never thought I'd be able to return here, but luckily life has treated me well and two years after my first trip, I'm actually able to visit once again ^___^ The added bonus of my <a href="http://digitalwastrel.blogspot.com/2010/09/gamesday-2010.html">partner in crime </a>coming along for the ride (<span style="font-style: italic;">his first time!</span>) will be what makes it just that more awesome!<br /><br />I'm overwhelmed with <span style="font-style: italic;">what</span> to pack, although I have pretty much crammed what I can into my monster of a suitcase, I always have the feeling as though I've forgotten everything, ending up having a 'Home Alone' moment on the plane XD<br /><br />I can't even begin to explain my excitement (<span style="font-style: italic;">As if it hasn't been made apparent via here many times!</span>) checking and double checking maps and schtuff is getting me onto new levels of anticipation!<br /><br />Righto', all I can say is...Sayonara!

I can't even.......it's like excitement is sending me into overload. I don't think it helps that I keep seeing my cram packed suitcase staring right at me whilst I type, a constant giant (<span style="font-style: italic;">Seriously, this case is huge</span>) reminder of what is to be. I can't wait to stroll the city that never sleeps streets and take it all in, photographing and filming <span style="font-style: italic;">e-ve-ry-thing</span>. Time to re-pack my suitcase for the fourth time!<br /><br />Third, I am SO CLOSE to finishing my 160 hours TEFL course, which means I am on the borderline of classing myself as a bonafide English Language Tutor ^____^ Another step in plan Japan!<br /><br />Live is pretty awesome and I feel awesome ^___^Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-76110889182793843062010-09-16T08:24:00.000-07:002010-11-17T19:25:17.339-08:00TOM GREEN!<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kMVNCSz4ung?fs=1&hl=en_GB"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kMVNCSz4ung?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I MET TOM GREEN</span>!

I can't explain my excitement, as this guy has infected my hilarity brain cells since my teens, so naturally with being seated pretty dang close tot he front, I am all kinds of flipping out my chair right now. I am hoping for a possible celeb collision, so naturally I am going armed with my signature book and camera - for Vlogging action!<br /><br />What else has been going on between the bread slices these past...*checks the date of her last entry*...<span style="font-style: italic;">what?</span> Almost <span style="font-style: italic;">a month</span> since I wedged something up here?! Ok, this may take some time >___><br /><br />As per usual, I've been keeping myself busy with events and life in general, planning for future prospects and trying to earn cash. EBay and selling artworks have been a major aspect in my money earnings, as when you look around your room, you'd be surprised how much junk you have that is actually worth something to others. Even so, certain figurines, comics, bits and bobs that I'd rather be sold then sitting on a shelf doing nothing. I have sold quite a few art pieces too, as I have advertised previously, wedging them up on auction. Which is what I will do now!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;">Please click on the pictures to check out the auction! ^___^<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1019083.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivm_R3zXdDxMthahADKdVMM_iMkaKLHU48tFhPp_YZGMiaaQKPGu5OtH1xladDF-InBYThgNTp055qOI-9HxGxT9dlv8wsqLnxcX2whU7VttlwA5BeJKOa_eROoHowOyVQDLI4TGd3yHSG/s200/KingCheetah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513902665463989538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1019087.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpKI2Eyk6M5FQTvzpQSX6KfrJm2hyphenhyphen4ASVsH1LhGA02tZCzeHJ5sjOdoTBZpdgODY5rUj70rPiSVETAWm84Z1DgMgVbg-Dgj-yTp1HcILame7qe77T6R_LwL87Lsmo5XdyCT30JvftC-AG4/s200/AnthroAfrica-WhiteLionessSMALL.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513902662529964642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1019084.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS9v4K82FOPxGgLmDFOcGIm_TKrIShIuO4dTBA_TqVyO-rIGBZlm2HDJWjFdbRiGXlt3oZYYBckO9nGHnARLG9svcSTy9RCgu_PNXBGDxXenSp3ozYNSKGZwdw0Gp7p31E3Uhyphenhyphen2a04Pb3S/s200/AnthroAfrica-OkapiSMALL.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513902647580980610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1019085.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7vl309mZKQCnq1PW33YG7kHA9poVAeuvrF3mzZLCk2RVbu1eNzKb6widZGXtMjkhtykSO1tNUwa8JtehrsnKgIolUG8jIzGI5714gAavsOz188qx_5PQxFm8eCjnVDAfY6c1iHbcPzUGo/s200/AnthroAfrica-HeyenaSMALL.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513902641645134530" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1019086.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFbDa-HM9VS70Bt6bVntPYPmo_nLK1YurvzY90gx4fw2kcOtgNs2k0EjHrgwsQJXfsTjUP31dGkz6C0frfGcassiS4UcTx2Sa1OLZWzlEbtMEN6icMXrZGDx0-w0x-LmMUVeW9Jm5NoNNp/s200/AnthroAfrica-AfricanHuntingDogSMALL.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513902636437653730" border="0" /></a><br />Now with my pimping aside, another AWESOME EVENT was meeting <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bryan Lee O'Malley</span>! For those fo you who are all <span style="font-style: italic;">"Huh?"</span> he is the man behind the story of Scott Pilgrim. A totally radical comic that now has it's own movie backing it (Which is totally bodacious, SEE IT). Infact, heres my vlog to prove it!<br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cuqlounIYao?fs=1&hl=en_GB"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cuqlounIYao?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br />He was so pleasant and I even managed to sneak in a fan-girl about his band <a href="http://www.radiomaru.com/kupek/">Kupek</a>. A great dude to meet and another sketch to my signature book ^__^<br /><br />What else.....<br /><br />Oh yesh, <span style="font-weight: bold;">PLAN JAPAN</span>. I did apply to my first application, Interac. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. But, this does not dampen my hopes, as I still have quite a few other options to check out too. One of them being the infamous JET, I am not expecting much from such a well established/known company, but keeping a positive outlook for that dream always helps ^___^ Aeon and Heart are others, so we'll see how they go in the following months!<br /><br />Until then, my trip to Tokyo is nearing even closer! Under a month now until I touch those blessed grounds of Japan once more. I keep feeling myself becoming <span style="font-style: italic;">wooshed</span> (Yes, that is a verb) over with complete excitement, I may have begun packing my suitcase already (Trying to figure out what outfits to wear in Harajuku!) XD<br />I am predicting major photos/vlog footage, it's even something that excites me about the trip! As when I last visited, my camera was brand new and I was still unsure of how to work it, which made the footage suffer a little, amongst other difficulties. NOT THIS TIME! *triumphant stance*<br /><br />I'll be counting down the days! ^_____^ <3Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-57044167618961905292010-08-12T16:57:00.000-07:002010-08-12T17:56:52.693-07:00"Oh wow! my metapod evolved into a butterfree!"...Well, not quite. But I have managed to "<span style="font-style: italic;">evolve</span>" further in my <span style="font-style: italic;">Teaching in Japan</span> career! As I managed to high five the final checkpoint to my TEFL online course ^____^ Now onto the next half, which still seems as enjoyable as the previous topics on the course. It's odd to think that despite speaking English as my native language, a lot of the English Grammar is something I having trouble remembering?<br /><br />The next step in "<span style="font-style: italic;">Plan Japan</span>" is actually rummaging which companies to apply to. The main target is Interac, as they are connected with the course itself and they are the top of the list with positive reviews (Next to the obvious JET programme), with Aeon as a second choice. I've been sniffing around different forums for reviews of which companies peeps rave about, but it seems I've gone cross-eyed from researching my rump off XD<br /><br />I think when reaching points like this, it makes the dreams become reality and I get this awesome Disney like feeling ^___^ Especially with pre-intro <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tokyo trip under two months away now - EEEEEEEEEEEEEE</span>! I had a surge of excitement when the Ghibli Museum tickets arrived the other morning, <span style="font-style: italic;">joooooooooooy</span>!<br /><br />In the meantime, EBay sales and <span style="font-weight: bold;">art commissions</span> are going strong, thanks for the support to anyone who has purchased my artwork in recent months - you guys/gals be all kinds of rockin'! I still have slots open if anyone is interested for a commission, please check my <a href="http://shiverz.deviantart.com/">Deviant Art</a> page journal for more details on prices.

I think in many ways, it is to prove to myself I still can draw anthro-ised characters and just for the pure joy of it, as I forgot how fun it really was. I have also had the success of selling such pieces I've created, with a sheer fluke of wedging some of them up for auction one day, finding to my surprise that they had found buyers and sold for a <span style="font-style: italic;">good</span> amount of cash ^___^ This is a very major event for me, as it is usually quite a feat to not only <span style="font-style: italic;">sell</span> art, but to get a fair bit of cash for the pieces, as I am not employed at this certain time, I'm practically living off EBay earnings and artwork sellings.<br /><br />Here, for your viewing pleasure, some recent pieces:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcpec0swpNy0-GDM-bZaqFJgU9y8UkOLPT0AXP1IUVCmZmwycebmuAtsk-Ynsiv7-FsYxPCO6Ga3AmEOy_mabzGvSWSESLVzbcVtRhqQNfNVpsvNt7KIQhnauqa_sm6QutiVOiTe7BQsJ/s1600/DevineWolffTrade.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

There were quite a few tasty treats too! I felt really accepted to say I wasn't Pagan, as everyone was so relaxed and welcoming, receiving plenty of horned-compliments.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks goes out to those who planned the event, it really was an awesome day!</span></span><br /><br />In a couple of weeks, I'm attending <a href="http://www.drsketchynottingham.co.uk/">Dr Sketchy</a> in Nottingham, which is supposedly a Summer Seaside special! I haven't attended for a year, which is odd, so it'll be good to get my life drawing hands on again.<br /><br />I can't believe I haven't mentioned <span style="font-style: italic;">this</span> yet, but in early September my sister and I will be seeing *drum roll*..... <span style="font-weight: bold;">TOM GREEN LIVE!</span> I couldn't believe it when he announced UK dates to his tour, I don't think I need to say that we clicked on the 'book tickets' button quicker than it takes me to make a sandwich! That'll be pretty epic, hoping to make a sandwich related t-shirt too XD<br /><br />It's just under two months until I re-visit Tokyo with a certain <a href="http://digitalwastrel.blogspot.com/">man-o-mine</a> and I may have got my suitcase out already (LAME), I'm too frakkin' excited! Researching the destinations I didn't manage to see on my previous visit, just thinking about feeling the awesome-ness of being amongst the culture again. Tasting the foods, smelling the air, sitting and appreciating everything surrounding, hanging with the locals......bliss

href="http://www.thecovemovie.com/">The Cove</a>' last night. I was indeed prepared to be made aware of events that were going to be unsettling, but this documentary is truly powerful and needs to be watched by anyone who is enthusiastic towards cetaceans. Although, advisory towards those who are weak of stomachs. I was left emotionally drained, feeling mixtures of anger and sadness for the rest of the night and still lingering with me today. Feeling so f*cking helpless towards these mass cullings.....<br />It also makes me re-ponder about my trip to Sea World and despite how happy and well kept those animals seemed, where were they actually from? Could the dolphins actually be from this same marketing as Taiji?Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-10698486607242103272010-07-10T17:35:00.000-07:002010-07-10T18:07:35.576-07:00Getting My Rump Into Planning GearPreviously on LOAF:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"I have some plans on the horizon which I am now researching into, I'll fill ya'll in when I get it all sorted out and get some definite plans in motion."<br /><br /></span>What are these plans?

Numerous months of thinking and research has been going down and it wasn't until after a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/hannahpickford">tarot reading</a> from my dear sibling, that was oddly accurate and gave me that final boost to go ahead and plan the dream. Theres something almost Disney about the way I'm feeling about this whole new prospect ^___^<br /><br />I have now started my TEFL course (Which is alot of fun and due to the part-time aspect, great for my kind of crazy schedule), which will advance my chances in applying, this along with some sturdy CV and cover letter action should hopefully guide me to the holy grounds for next year *FINGERS CROSSED*<br /><br />I've even planned a trip in Sept, with my <a href="http://digitalwastrel.blogspot.com/">partner in crime</a> to re-introduce myself to the Japanese way of life and to get us both prepared.<br /><br />Staring at the numerous Japan/Tokyo travel books I have surrounding my desk right now, I'm feeling a sense of direction and excitement (I may implode from excitement of returning!), also the joy of eating information is just bliss.<br /><br />^_______________________________^Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-7882859332210838742010-06-28T15:54:00.000-07:002010-06-28T16:30:09.201-07:00FillerTime for an update, since previous to my MJ remembrance I hadn't updated this journal for at least three months >___> *ahem*<br /><br />SO, just to straighten things out...<br /><br />- I am NOT working at <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sea Life</span> anymore, I haven't since late April. The travel to and from work was demanding on my mentally, physically and a big dip in my pay, it just wasn't the job for me sadly.<br /><br />- <span style="font-weight: bold;">LOTRs: Two Towers LIVE</span> was amazing! To hear Howard Shores score come to life in person was truly astounding.<br /><br />- <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fozzy Live</span> was rockin'! A little crushed and Jericho actually threw a bottle into the crowd, which I caught with my head...seriously, it was like there was a target on my forehead that it beelined for XD But it was definitely worth the bump!<br /><br />- My Draenei Cosplay for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">London MCM Expo</span> was VERy successful, the body paint lasted pretty much all day! Although, my hooves unfortunately destroyed my feet after three hours, so I had to resort to my flatter, more comfy shoes I had prepared for such an event. it was SO busy, but despite that, I managed to meet folks and get plenty of fans surrounding my costume. Not sure if I'll be attending the October Expo just yet, I need to think of a Cosplay first!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXlThEZnK4D1KYbtr1oodbr0C_8Eysi9ucIFXgXUdVG_CasDnQa33k-Xk0eJS7xbcUkPWffKKUZL-AmlTQURYKzppthjoDB8D3um4aC8G-X4GrFo-7SH96QfJFYT3ozNU4MdBr2Vpxox5s/s1600/P1340278EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXlThEZnK4D1KYbtr1oodbr0C_8Eysi9ucIFXgXUdVG_CasDnQa33k-Xk0eJS7xbcUkPWffKKUZL-AmlTQURYKzppthjoDB8D3um4aC8G-X4GrFo-7SH96QfJFYT3ozNU4MdBr2Vpxox5s/s320/P1340278EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487970249369892386" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ6WnOjngt88b0VwJr9DdfL-3spSYBR8UAFLTFNHbfydT5tkBdaV26eZy0Gz9tme7Mg80d0TzgCdn2hT2izrQU2E4YiQz0HK2i1nGBz1KhhA9K4Mj813q4RxozZoz6FrxrNvlJp_d9cupL/s1600/P1340211EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ6WnOjngt88b0VwJr9DdfL-3spSYBR8UAFLTFNHbfydT5tkBdaV26eZy0Gz9tme7Mg80d0TzgCdn2hT2izrQU2E4YiQz0HK2i1nGBz1KhhA9K4Mj813q4RxozZoz6FrxrNvlJp_d9cupL/s320/P1340211EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487970245026081010" border="0" /></a>Photos with my Cosplay homies!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5DW13I1ZaMFVmQnJHugSkSS3rdYFnsFwc_pmzhM_q9Q6XE4j5qS0SVJorbS4t1NdzCmrz0BbDhg-91Rv0auImFveoB-YgPlobWbFndAaO2o_DriKLdLNxCkODF_7sFJdruy5xFUHZx2A/s1600/P1340152EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5DW13I1ZaMFVmQnJHugSkSS3rdYFnsFwc_pmzhM_q9Q6XE4j5qS0SVJorbS4t1NdzCmrz0BbDhg-91Rv0auImFveoB-YgPlobWbFndAaO2o_DriKLdLNxCkODF_7sFJdruy5xFUHZx2A/s320/P1340152EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487970231534349602" border="0" /></a>Full length shot of me with my hooves<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Oux-DLaWDIWXW5qa7fhYgLVB7KPqG8sxlNFf66mep46USUMbqP43f9HbsxG-DU_4pZyYKYjwRpoKzTZxdP1AyDTfu_6XTeWL5Q-qiN8IHYWJP01Ifa-mV5r7Di2EeKHrmbXHM9qReZhk/s1600/P1340123EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Oux-DLaWDIWXW5qa7fhYgLVB7KPqG8sxlNFf66mep46USUMbqP43f9HbsxG-DU_4pZyYKYjwRpoKzTZxdP1AyDTfu_6XTeWL5Q-qiN8IHYWJP01Ifa-mV5r7Di2EeKHrmbXHM9qReZhk/s320/P1340123EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487970223517854914" border="0" /></a>Woo-chaaa!<br /></div><br />- <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cali-forn-ia</span> was a success! My sister and I survived the very busy trip spending five days in each and then greyhound busing (The American version of what Englands National Express is) our way from LA to San Diego, with plenty of photos and video footage to tell our tales. Of course the highlight was Disneyland and Sea World! I must admit, I prefer San Diego to LA, if not for the better public transport but just for the cleanliness of the place. LA really needs to do some major clean up to say it's a well known tourist spot! Such a great experience to see how different people are from West versus the East coast. (I swear I'll upload photos on here later!)<br />Don't forget to check out my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ShiverZ66">YOUTUBE </a>Channel for updates!<br /><br />So that wraps a majority of subjects up!<br />I have some plans on the horizon which I am now researching into, I'll fill ya'll in when I get it all sorted out and get some definite plans in motion.

We were expecting to see a few people around the arena, since there were many gatherings last year around his passing. I was really delighted to see that the 02 arena had actually dedicated a hall to the fans to pay their respects, where his music was playing and you could place cards, flowers, drawings, cuddly toys, whatever you felt to place down in respect to Michael. They had even placed the previous years tributes and walls that people had signed for people to view, along with a new wall for fans to sign. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsC-3ttb5Ygmkw4ssAzzlbJroIPryWtlbmD73mq3NAtzPh9ocfTPqXljQM3c9qw6Q8fzhkQcyf8zeZgm97oa7FbhcsAeEqZlp8fSDWlbZ33GIQHU8LpH4tTJuJKCggcQoyvSOCEpPltsm/s1600/P1370223EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsC-3ttb5Ygmkw4ssAzzlbJroIPryWtlbmD73mq3NAtzPh9ocfTPqXljQM3c9qw6Q8fzhkQcyf8zeZgm97oa7FbhcsAeEqZlp8fSDWlbZ33GIQHU8LpH4tTJuJKCggcQoyvSOCEpPltsm/s320/P1370223EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487133071586246018" border="0" /></a>My sister and I of course left our mark, with a few doodles and words. As my sister and I lay down the sunflowers and vanilla candle we had bought on the table, we wrote our own notes and wrapped them around the stem of the flowers. I had to keep my composure when 'Remember The Time' flowed through the hall, I class that as "our song".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqUMrbsMzj1s7UFkwtws7JZw6Dcn18ZYw3geO_kbNi8c3J322UsoSYMkaDifTUyaWmEssmLYvbR36KJwSsisD1BhhFbA8up17MISwdEZFoRZ_hg8PTusqExHGNGdu-NK_gag_FKyg2LvzF/s1600/P1370170EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqUMrbsMzj1s7UFkwtws7JZw6Dcn18ZYw3geO_kbNi8c3J322UsoSYMkaDifTUyaWmEssmLYvbR36KJwSsisD1BhhFbA8up17MISwdEZFoRZ_hg8PTusqExHGNGdu-NK_gag_FKyg2LvzF/s320/P1370170EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487131998392895986" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOGTdlzby-cc0jaV8yOLxJpn05kG1oGfXYprHK5lbYjPIiOf5eLk4I57YDkeSHbWoggab7ZgGSxw8960EuJ1FDH3mpDjY5gAYr8NNzsCxr4rh3NLSa9BGQtFNmL0jvo50bwalNRLw65E8i/s1600/P1370171EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOGTdlzby-cc0jaV8yOLxJpn05kG1oGfXYprHK5lbYjPIiOf5eLk4I57YDkeSHbWoggab7ZgGSxw8960EuJ1FDH3mpDjY5gAYr8NNzsCxr4rh3NLSa9BGQtFNmL0jvo50bwalNRLw65E8i/s320/P1370171EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487132005779977378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-eYeCs34VVcOvuZDlFSzkjcEIeqAXcGN_6De3KxJb5UyLbvWg9NBoK22d0iDTYT_HZARYc25IEB50JHHSbaIyahDh88Y8gwgiTIOMh9c_G-828lC8skpKrG2xWVC4YyzkkIUqdc0ipMP/s1600/P1370172EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-eYeCs34VVcOvuZDlFSzkjcEIeqAXcGN_6De3KxJb5UyLbvWg9NBoK22d0iDTYT_HZARYc25IEB50JHHSbaIyahDh88Y8gwgiTIOMh9c_G-828lC8skpKrG2xWVC4YyzkkIUqdc0ipMP/s320/P1370172EDIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487132009708004626" border="0" /></a><br />It was a really serene atmosphere, unlike last year, fans had time to settle and come to terms with his passing.<br />We ended our visit by heading to Kensington Gardens to view the Peter Pan statue (Surprisingly, I had never visited before) and found a smile creep on my face as there was a spotlight from the evening sun shining on the statue.

But, on this visit, it was slower paced and not as busy. It also seemed like a type of closure, I understood and accepted that Michael has past, but will still be here with his voice.<br /><br />You will never be forgotten,<br /><br /><3 <3 Michael Jackson <3 <3Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-4645110084728638782010-03-02T17:39:00.000-08:002010-03-02T18:15:37.533-08:00Beside the Odd DistractionI have actually accomplished...<span style="font-weight: bold;">THINGS</span>.<br /><br />One major triumph is actually landing myself a job, yes, it is part time to the extent of working weekends (Mainly Saturdays) and school holidays, but it is a <span style="font-style: italic;">J.O.B.</span><br />Where is it you ask? Well, it's actually at the Sea Life Centre, as a photographer. Not photographing anything aquatic, but usually land dwelling mammals, yep, those homo sapians. Dragging them infront of a ten foot tall plastic "Nemo" <span style="font-style: italic;">*shudders at the name that rings in her ears*</span>, by that I mean a CLOWN FISH and getting their shot, which they will later, hopefully purchase.<br />The good point is, besides the many days of organisation and days without dinner breaks, I manage to get in close proximity with a majority of the sea life their at the centre. The staff room is rightabove the walk-through tunnel, so you can literally peek past a curtain to view the above tank, where the two resident sea turtles will swim upto you for lettuce, YES, lettuce.<br />We had a special guest recently too, a Japanese Spider Crab, who was HUGE. I am quite the fan of crustaceans, so it was a real hoot to see this guy (Or actually gal) up close. Unfortunately, they coined the phrase of <span style="font-style: italic;">'Crabzilla' </span>to bring in customers, which seemed pretty mean for her ego :(<br />Now we have two baby hammerhead sharks, who are attempting to figure out this place just as much as me. They are ridiculously cute!<br /><br />So yesh, the first week was a school holiday, so me and the rest of the photographers were thrown mercifully to the (human) sharks, using every rangling skill we had, not-to-mention all the tech skills we had. Technology is never your friend in these situations. But, it has been over come and we'll see how long it lasts. In the meantime, Ebay will serve as another money inlet before the next school holiday.<br /><br />Amongst diving head first into all of this, I haven't been terribly arty, nor travelling a vast extent. I have booked several little excursions and one large treat.<br /><br />Small(er) excursions:<br />- LOTRs: The Two Towers LIVE with the London Philharmonic Orchestra: <span style="font-style: italic;">WOOOO! Can't wait, it shall be, whats that? EPIC?</span><br />- Fozzy Live: <span style="font-style: italic;">Seen them once, time to see them rock once more!</span><br />- London MCM Expo: <span style="font-style: italic;">Preparing my Draenei costume as I type, getting hold of some awesome "how to build hoof" tutorials, because I want to be rockin' in my blue body paint, horns AND hooves.</span><br /><br />And now for the trip I have booked with my dear sibling.......<span style="font-weight: bold;">.CALIFORNIA BABY</span>.<br /><br />Yesh, this has been in the making since last year but it's finally come together ^____^ So much to see and do, we'll see what can be conquered in our time there!

Lasers. Baby Explosions. Angel Wings. Flame Throwing Masks. These were all part of one of the most epic moments of my life....<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">RAMMSTEIN IN CONCERT.</span><br /><br />Our seats were AMAZINGLY close to the front, Block 1, right next to the frakkin' stage.<br /><br />Combichrist were the opening act and they were JAW DROPPING. Totally getting me in the right mood to bring me into the industrial mind-set.<br /><br />The moment of complete epic shock and excitement did not hit until 15 minutes before they were about to come on stage, then, the lights dimmed and the show was about to begin. I screamed, jumped, stomped, thrust my fist in the air. I couldn't believe THEY WERE THERE.<br /><br />The word epic is an understatement, since the entrance was the band members searing their way through the stage curtain, I could only expect them to top this twenty times over. I was hitting euphoria at this point, trying to tell myself not to get too excited and to pace my energy, but I had already hit barriers of emotion and screamed/roared to sound levels I didn't think were possible.<br /><br />There were several moments I thought I'd actually pass out, for the first time in my life, one visionary scene being topped by another, sending me back and forth, over and over.<br /><br />I survived the night, even if I had been sent to several states of pleasure I don't think I can even explain and I can honestly say, it was the best damn thing I have ever seen, it will be VERY hard to top this.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thankyou Rammstein, you fucking rule my world.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">(I am aware of how varied this entry is from my last, but ya know, thats my life)</span>Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-35722587589417640902010-01-31T16:07:00.001-08:002010-01-31T16:36:28.817-08:00...........I've been suddenly overwhelmed with a state of shock and many other emotions that are under such themes.<br /><br />I have just found out that a fellow vlogger, Rodger Swan has passed away.<br /><br />I'm crying, crying <span style="font-style: italic;">alot</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Why feel so attached to this guy?"</span> you ask, well I came to know of this youtube'er before my trip to Tokyo two years ago and straight away his videos explained so much of the Japanese culture that you wouldn't get through a superficial television show, he was kind, polite and generally creating vlogs to help others. He was the same age as me, which made it easier for me to take in, I could relate.<br /><br />I thus, was influenced to create my own vlogs from my own visit, hoping to share my experiences to anyone interested in the same cultural experiences I was looking for. From then on, I have been creating vlogs ever since.<br /><br />He had just began his "second chapter" moving from 'Tokyo Swan' to 'Iwate Swan', which made me feel really happy for the guy, he was independent and it was totally amazing to see how much he had matured in the years he had spent in Japan.<br /><br />It ended too short, his time was too short. It sucks that I have have to read this adventure of his has ended so god damned soon. I am feeling so angry that this kind, helpful and caring mans life has come to an end. <span style="font-style: italic;">WHY?</span> Was he too good for this world? What, what is it? I just can't figure it out.<br /><br />I have never directly have met him, but through watching such intimate times of his life I felt close to him. HE DID NOT DESERVE THIS. Oh man, what the hell am I trying to put forward here? I'm trying not to end this on an angry note, but it is really hard not to. I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">still</span> crying.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Thankyou Rodger, thankyou so much for what you have inspired me to do creatively. You made such an impact in such a short time, you will be remembered through the imprint you made here on the vlogging community.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">xX Rest In Peace Rodger (Tokyo/Iwate) Swan Xx<br /></div>Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-91089405037020262752010-01-27T14:21:00.000-08:002010-01-27T17:24:10.720-08:00BeepSo, I feel like I should be all apologetic, or whatever?<br /><br />I have become lazy with writing about my travels, my ups and downs, which sucks because I like to keep track of what I've been upto, my memory not being what it used to be, it's for reference and sharing my experiences with whoever cares. I get so dizzy from distracting myself with travels, I find that when I have a spare moment to myself, I become lost in my thoughts.<br /><br />I've backlogged on some major events that happened at the end of last year...<br /><br />- Berlin<br />- MCM Expo London<br />- Toronto<br />- Collectormania<br />- Disneyland Paris<br /><br />I'm sure you can catch up with all of these events via my youtube, yes, I am self pimping. If I blogged about each one, I'd be here for quite sometime.<br /><br />It's not that I don't want to write about them, because each event was frakkin' awesomely-tastic! It's more the fact that I enjoyed them so much, I'd write too much.<br /><br />I thought it'd at least be a good start to keep track of the year, although January has already flown out the window (With many positive memories might I add), but the days and hours go by so damned quick nowadays I get kinda agitated when I have a moment to myself.<br /><br />Already, I have viewed/met some of my idols....<br /><br />- Henry Rollins<br />- Ron Clements<br />- John Musker<br />- Andreas Dejas<br /><br />I could have listened to them ALL talk for hours, they never had a dull moment.<br />All of the above were capable because of two amazing people in my life that managed to lead me the path to them, with some very kind birthday presents. Which I am extremely grateful.<br /><br />I now have booked events coming up, wondering if I can constantly top my last actions. Live each day as it comes, keeping my mind off the supposed "real issues" and all that bullcrap.<br /><br />Booked events include...<br /><br />- TNA Wrestling<br />- Rammstein<br /><br />I CAN'T WAIT.<br /><br />THE END.<br /><br />Wait, I promised you pretty pictures. Ok, well, heres some snippets of what I didn't type about from last year, remember 2009!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Disneyland</span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc0ScHFrKYM2uiTBAtSNlV04rzm-og_a7Lej7CnKxzZAxqCtACe07qmrtPVtSoobeQIMstZY413g5IlvpFDIJzUR9TOoPPa7vvVVFbupFzm-hPFBmK_bOPOQc0ome7er88q9hexy8C4PeI/s1600-h/P1290068EDIT.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Still gives future hope, for well, the future. Glen Keane rules, fo' sho.<br /><br />Speaking of Disney, I ended up falling into a movie when I was eating breakfast the other afternoon, known as '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Cry_Wolf_%28film%29">Never Cry Wolf</a>'. I had, of coruse, never heard of it before and was enticed for the premise of a man being dumped in the middle of the Artic Tundra to study wolves. It really was a beautiful movie and something I may, will and must own in the future.<br /><br />I have realised when back tracking through my blog looking for what I rambled about last, I didn't go into any detail about my recent trip to Oslo. Well, I suppose my vlogs explain it, but it was a very beautiful cultured city, it's only downfall is the expense, since the minimum wage if £10 an hour in Scandinavian countries, you can imagine what you will. I did indeed enjoy myself, even if my sister and I did the usual of <span style="font-style: italic;">"Hey, we can walk EVERYWHERE!"</span> and realise our bodies are made of pudding, thus, leading our bodies to collapse when the evening hit. STILL, I took many photomagraphicoids and had a jolly good time.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NEXT UP: BERLIN.</span><br />Cha' ha, it's like visiting an old friend, only you can stomp on his face and he won't complain. Seriously, my family used to go there ALL the time, mainly because my other, other sister used to live there, but I do miss Berliner and her beautiful sights. I am also hyped because it has not one, but TWO ZOOS. I will be overwhelmed and overjoyed while eating my giant pretzel ^_^<br /><br />On the topic of travel, I have another trip booked to TORONTO in November, with a very lovely man. I have always had some kind of calling to the land of Maple, maybe it's because people say I sound Canadian, but either way I am excited! Checking out where to head and planning for it already, even if I have a few places to attend before then, I can't help myself :D More on that, when closer to the date.<br /><br />Before I leave, here are some recent art pieces!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga2SLFfu3WLCwVI_KNItS-taTvPewYA3aq0UsyJHTSZpeDvmtluu5vJpjKNr0H-S6_o9czI5ibK80XRg7GMmVWVPq8t2TYipvatCcITSWyaTsx00wuMBvKtqqJ_wI_kpLdYUjwcifAJbtj/s1600-h/Rakshasa+copy2.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

WELL, think life drawing but with the theme of burlesque. How perfect can these two fit together? Answer: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Perfectly</span>! I have to admit, with no hesitation, it is the most fun I have ever had with life drawing, since I adore costumes and classic styles, this was totally dreamy. I am glad to have finally got a chance at life drawing again, with so many failed attempts during my time at University, with model no shows and terrible posing when they did make an appearence.<br /><br />First of all, we had a warm up session to get everyone into the swing of things, for a five minute time period.<br />My first sketch-a-roonie.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9hczpGUEnt_4QdaYsipciCz9lfQbeVwn4EIDfretMoCYGwn0rtpo_Uhot0hafgp0fLQxcD_9WzQnege2mueFprZlRJlf6PlfsxP6ACRrhx5EPkKV2_kRGYB3Ka_4RKa21Uwb2QSG86Vv/s1600-h/DrSketchy9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9hczpGUEnt_4QdaYsipciCz9lfQbeVwn4EIDfretMoCYGwn0rtpo_Uhot0hafgp0fLQxcD_9WzQnege2mueFprZlRJlf6PlfsxP6ACRrhx5EPkKV2_kRGYB3Ka_4RKa21Uwb2QSG86Vv/s320/DrSketchy9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373565583136386626" border="0" /></a>The first outfit of the afternoon by Diva Hollywood, a mermaid with a dolphin hand puppet!

It's a shame that I'm in Berlin during the next date, but atleast I'll be seeing my own slice of German culture and arts.<br /></span>Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399517485031148286.post-5102386545426401732009-08-18T13:13:00.001-07:002009-08-18T15:48:45.358-07:00THINGSI really can't think of anything intellectual to wedge up in the title space, so there we go.

Not devour it like some yellow fat man. This maybe because I just ate a whole lotta pizza too, but I digress.<br />But despite this, I will get upto date with exciting news. I will do this in picture format, because I am so far ahead with technology you will not BELIEVE.<br /><br />I visited Londonia! (For the eightieth time this year, can't get enough of that City!)

The Moon was really yellow and cheese looking this particular night.<br /><br />The bad point is, due to the slow shutter speed, you must keep the camera still for atleast 15 seconds, usually resulting in blurry shots 99.9% of the time. Luckily there was a mini tripod at hand for some of the more clearer shots you see here :D<br /><br />I actually have job interviews coming up, so wish me luck! One of which is tomorrow, not sure how long it'll last but the pay seems very rewarding and the area it is in is accessible (Always a plus!) and actually resides in a decent part of town. Another interview is on the following day, so busy-busy. The bad point is my two major holidays which are coming up, not sure how to explain that to someone is willing to offer me a job (Hopeful thinking). I'm sure I can wrangle something, as I am not giving up my desire to travel.<br />Speaking of TRAVEL, I just came across the Berlin Museum of Natural History or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_f%C3%BCr_Naturkunde">'Museum fur Naturkunde'</a>.

Something brewing in my brain for sometime, possible follow-ups of Folklore from various other countries.<br /><br />Of course, I have other projects going on, one being the webcomic I may have mentioned before. But I'm not confident enough to reveal those ideas publicly yet.<br /><br />And to finalise, my film recommendation/s.<br /><br />- '<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976060/">Tokyo</a>'<br />An amazing feature created by three separate art directors. One being the infamous Michel Gondry. Three stories following different tales, but all featured within the one amazing glowing city of TOKYO.<br /><br />The first tale is told by Michel Gondry, known as "Interior Design". An enchanting tale of a couple trying to find themselves within the city, but alas, the feminine counterpart of the duo finds herself becoming seperated from her partner due to his film making career. She gradually becomes more and more confused and eaten by the city itself, leading to her becoming part of the scenary. Gondry's visuals, as always, are fascinating and stunning, leaving me somewhat job smacked as to how he manages to create some of the screen trickery.<br /><br />Second is created by Leos Carax, titled "Merde". Unfortunately, the title wasn't too far from explaining how I felt about this story. The tale of a man creeping from the sewers and rampaging the people of the City, beginning as something innocent and leading to some much more violent, this story got old very quickly. I really didn't find it amusing, besides the fact of relating him to the iconic Godzilla. The running time was far too lnog for this premise.<br /><br />Thirdly, but not to be forgotten, "Shaking Tokyo" by Joon-ho Bong. Relating to the topic of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikikomori">hikikomori</a>, (A condition that is already of much intrigue to me). This was an amazing short, the interaction of the characters and the film style was definitely something that made the room silent with respect. Something that Bong manages to accomplish (Which quite a few directors fail miserably at), is the way of distorting timelines in film. Since the character has been within his own house for an entire decade, you are made aware of this through the characters day-to-day schedual. Which he seems as normal, but others will view as a pointless existance. That moment that struck me this short as genius, was the "press the button" sequence. LOVE. The bond that forms between two of the characters was definitely magical to me, not in a Disney sense, but there was something about how they both awakened each other in their own individual ways. Definitely a movie I will remember and re-watch right alongside 'Lost in Translation' and ' Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.<br /><br />- '<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0342272/">Dear Wendy</a>'<br />Strangely enough, I first heard about this film through the fact Bill Pullman had a minor roll within it, but to my dismay, it wasn't a major role. But what I gained from viewing this movie was much more than drooling over Bill's sweet, sweet mumbling voice.<br />The actors, for one thing, really impressed me. I love the entire set up of a run down town, with nothing better to do than go work at the mines or stay inside your home becomnig paranoid of the outdoors. So naturally, the younger generation of the town would rather become something more worth-while. This movie revolves around a group of kids who find their confidence within a collection they begin together, that of guns. NO, this is not about gang warfare. But they come together through naming their weapons of choice and becoming personas to suit that of that of which they carry.<br />The set up is charming and easily found myself becoming attached to the characters early on in the film. This is certainly a movie that is very much over looked by the masses and I wish could be appreciated far more.<br /><br />Crap, I've rambled again. Oh well.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><br /><br /></span>Loafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13183351070063028954noreply@blogger.com0
