So I return from Wordpress back to LJ for a bit.

I don't blog like I used anymore. These days it's more for posting pictures and keeping the personal to a minimum.

The last time I was on LJ, I was talking about going into Teaching etc. And since then... I have been put through the whole administrative roller coaster of securing a job.

I guess the bottomline is that I'll be spending the next four to five years working for 'our future generation'. While I'm pretty excited by this new stage in life, I'm still a little sad at having no bigger dreams to chase after. The pragmatist within says that this 'golden ricebowl' is the way to go... but the romantic in me still naively thinks that maybe it wouldn't have that bad trying to get a job in some kickass creative production firm. Well, atleast in some way, going into teaching will allow me to pursue something I'm passionate about as I'll be teaching subjects I have an affinity with.

At the end of the day, I want to be my own boss. In my mind, I keep thinking of a bigger picture, where a stable job would provide me with a good financial foundation to start a business in the future. And when I'm older and more mature, I hope to have the knowledge and network that would help my business succeed.

Hence, I hope I'll be able to survive, and perhaps even enjoy, my teaching stint.

Go through the list and check off the titles you have watched. For our purposes, "watching" a title means that for TV and OVA series, you have to have seen at least one episode. For one-shots, you have to have seen the whole thing. At the end of each genre/category, add up your sub-total. At the very end, add up the sub-totals to come up with your grand total. If your grand total is 80 or over, congratulations -- you are an obsessive anime watcher!

As an extra note: not all the titles listed here are great, and some are even steaming piles of crap. Titles on the list are here because they are either 1) genuinely good, 2) insanely popular, 3) good examples of the genre, or 4) just plain notorious. Good anime obsessives should be able to watch series with any of those qualities. And the titles need to be updated. =/ A serious lack of recent titles.

Grand total: 90. =_="

I think the major reason why I can't sleep is due to being in hall.

I don't think I have kept an early sleeping habit since the exams begun and I find myself rolling in bed trying to sleep. But when I got home, sleep came easily.

So whose going?

I have been obsessed with photoshop brushes lately, and it resulted in a couple of designs for a graphic tee. =D

posted the images over at wordpress so as not to clog up people's FL. So hop over and take a peek.

It's been hard to update LJ. Somehow, it seems to hate me and refuses to load. -_-"

Instead, I have been posting over at my wordpress site (http://berribunzstudio.wordpress.com). So if anyone really miss me, hop over and check out my latest posts. ^^

I still read my FL, so I am lurking around and making random comments. But the bulk of my actions have been on facebook lately, so if you have a facebook acct, add me~!

I got my hands on a Panasonic Lumix DMC- FX38. 80% of the reason I got this over the canon 860is is because the former is quite a hunk, while the other is quite a chunk. XD It was a satisfying buy (from John 3:16 at Funan, where everyone seems to go to for cameras XD). Got me less depressed over the lost of sparkles. -sigh- And thanks to Jov, I feel less irritated with random noise because he supplied me with an old Skool iPod mini that I could plug into.

Then went to watch WALL-E with chi last night. AWESOME animation. Best ever. Pixar has outdone itself. There are so many reasons why it is awesome, just go watch and you will understand why.


ANyway, the point of this post is to ramble on and pimp some of my still life oil paintings, which are not awesome... just interesting at most. XD

Enjoy.( Pictures undercut )

I HATE THE BASTARD THAT STOLE my HP & iPod TOUCH.

I was suppose to bitch. But I am lazy and feeling emo after writing my VAS swan's song. There is enough emo and angst on my FL already. Will not add to it. XD

Wow. I am still reeling from the fact that I would be attending Natsu Matsuri without having to start queuing up at 2pm in case they run out of tickets.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH~!! sodiumion and mangy_mongrel!!  I LOVE YOU GIRLS!! I am now indebted to ya~! On behalf of my other ticket-less friends, I thank you people again for helping us out. ^^ I can now boast about the power of LJ fangirls and their limitless connections. I am now prompted to bring my roomie's Nikon D200 to take awesome pictures of the event. (Though I seriously worry whether I will end up killing the camera like I did my own point-and-shoot during the last Natsu Matsuri).

I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. >_<
