In other news, it's official. I'm going to Italy in August. XD
It's going to be hot as hell, but I'm so psyched to see the art there and experience a glimpse of its past and present cultures. It will be intriguing indeed.

SOOOOOO~~~~~~~ i only have three weeks of school left. which means it's going to be summer vacation very soon for me. and so i had the sudden urge to jot down goals for this summer. here we go:

1. anime expo: (july 2~5) i really want to cosplay this year, but that means i would need to make my own costumes (which i'm really bad at due to lack of experience). here are the characters i want to cosplay as:
rinoa from final fantasy 8: [link]
zidane from final fantasy 9 (dissidia version): [link]
ema from apollo justice: [link]
lightning from final fantasy 13: [link]

2. taiwan: i promised my cousin i'd visit her sometime this summer; plus, i want to see the solar eclipse (july 22) with my own two eyes. XD

3. travel elsewhere: my mom and i talked about traveling someplace new this summer, which would be awesome, but i also want to spend time with my friends. so this might not happen.

4. birthdays: there're two birthdays i know of that we're celebrating this summer. but i'm pretty sure there's more.

5. movies: since i love movies so much. here are some of the movies i'm going to have to see this summer:
terminator salvation (may 21)
up (may 29)
transformers: revenge of the fallen (june 24)
harry potter and the half-blood prince (july 15)

6. one of my cousins has decided to come visit me and my family this summer, so we're probably ganna show him around and take him to theme parks and such. but i do feel kinda sorry for him, since there's nothing really special or exciting around here. plus, he understands very little english... and it's possible that my other cousins will also decide to come.

This semester is the most schedule packed one ever. I have to juggle so many projects from different art classes and study for my art history class. It's also the most enjoyable semester, since I'm taking 4 art classes: life drawing, painting, 3-dimensional art, and computer art. This means I'm working on many different mediums.. lol.. gets kinda confusing sometimes, but I'm getting the hang of it. I've also never been more focused and more worked up on turning in my assignments on time. So, wish me luck this semester and sorry if I don't post more stuff on here. However, by the time of summer vacation, I'll be sure to show you all the fruits of my labor XD

I've been really into a rather new musical album called Razia's Shadow. It's a real ear-candy. I'm sure if you hear it once, you'll want to hear it again and again.
Here's it's website: [link]
And you can buy it on itunes.

I've also been listening to a lot of Vocaloid music. And I found that the computerized voices are really annoying, but the songs are decent. There are several songs that are really magnificent. Here's some that are my favorites (and I chose the ones with my favorite vocal singers):
初めての恋が終わる時 (sung by Choucho): [link]
Last Night, Good Night (sung by Choucho): [link]
紡唄 -つむぎうた- Chinese version (sung by Pandashi): [link]
