Last week, the outpouring of rain the whole week made me stucked inside the house.

Like hell I'd go out with an umbrella!!! My pride could handle being toasted in the sun rather than walking with an umbrella in my arms. At the same time, I am being extra-careful not to let a single drop of rain fall in my head because I have an annual record of falling sick on the stupidest littlest of things when this month arrives. (see how beautiful my self-contradiction is?) And I do not want to fall to a fever.

*gasp*Swine Flu!*gasp*dengue!

I have a terribly low anti-sickness agent because of an illness I had in the past so I always preserve myself at the very least.

And my oldest cousin told all of us not to forget to watch hands ahahah. Television. Sometimes they make things worse.

Fic Summary: At first, Sasuke created his so called 'Split-Personality' to entertain a bored Naruto. So they became boyfriend-girlfriend. Big deal. Saki is just a creation anyway. And fake. But everything changed when one morning Sasuke woke up and answered the phone. Who is he right now? Saki is just a creation. And fake. She can't possibly take over his consciousness. Nor she is capable of killing him for her own benefit.

Wrong.

Beautiful, Beautiful Itachi ;)

Raven by ~claes-gascogne on deviantART

I have a quick colored sketch of neji in y-gal too.

I've been doing a lot of illustration nowadays, which made me thought of setting up a sketch diary. Hmm... hmm... But I've got a lot of accounts already =_=

An opinion that hopefully, would I be able to hear your thought;
Remember the time when Itachi gave Naruto 'something' after that I'm a better brother than you statement? (And yeah, that symbolic seeking permision for the hand of the little brother hint...lol) Something entered Naruto's mouth. If you remember, when Itachi gave Sasuke his Amaterasu, he poked his right eye open. So there's the symbolism there.

( Just last month, I was studying Japanese mythology because I wanted to draw... something from there. And when I was reading how Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu and Susanooh came to existence, I saw the parallelism there. )
ps.
Holy coow!
Received a txt message from a friend:
Do not go to SM Megamall for the meantime. Casa Medica diagnosed a patient that tested positive for swine flu. They are currently quarantined.

Pick up the Phone
Part Six

He was rinsing himself when the phone rang. It was probably Naruto, he thought. He ignored the ringing and turned off the shower to dry himself with his towel. The phone went silent but after 5 seconds it rang again. The brunette sighed and went to his room.

“Moshi moshi?” He greeted but there was no answer. He patiently waited for 3 seconds before putting the phone to its cradle when somebody spoke up.

“Hello, Sasuke-kun,” it answered. With his own voice as Saki. His eyes narrowed.

“Is this a prank call? Who are you? Do you want to-"

“He doesn’t want you.”

He frowned in question, not understanding what the person wanted to say from the other line. For several heartbeats he stood still from his position and gasped when he remembered the same phrase being said to him a while ago… by Saki.

“Impossible,” he whispered.

Any of you reads my Barbaric Girlfriend?? Whenever I pass by the forums, I kept on hearing that Akira and Senbongi are a better pair x_x and Momoi is such a selfish bitch.

Okay, don’t get me wrong. Yeah, I cringe when Akira and Senbongi get er… up close and personal but that’s just because of the flow of the story. We still don’t know how that manga would end or go to because the plot is so hard to figure up, and everytime a new chapter is released, it did not alleviate our confusion even for a bit. Because for me, I think Momoi and Akira are better together.

Now hold your horses! Don’t throw me those tomatoes yet. (I have to run away for cover first…) Well, I think with their personalities, they are a match because they balance each other, even if their characters should be the other way round. I think I could accept the permanence of the body switch ONLY if Akira and Momoi end up together. I believe that they have a potential to be a good pair. Damnit, damnit damnit. I keep on skipping pages because even if seems impossible for Momoi to fall for poor Akira right now, I am still hoping for a day to arrive when the mangaka would think of making Momoi’s eyes to turn to Akira.

Who likes Arashi’s Leader?

Uta no Oniisan! Ma~ I do not want to elaborate more but I love the show, not just that it’s funny but there are lots of valuable things that they have thought me. I usually stay impassive watching (being sensitized by the tons of animes, mangas, doramas that I read/watch…) but this show, especially the ending episode had touched me deep. Maybe it’s because me and the main character is the same. Anti-thesis, struggling, bored with the world, dark(i mean kuro, it somehow has a different connotation as a japanese word), loves to scowl, is hard to be happy etc etc. Anyway, the bottom line is, I learned a lot. So this is more than a show to me. Even if it’s not popular in Japan (as the rating says) I terribly adore it. I’ll never forget this drama.

Ah, for the Idol followers, the two Davids of American Idol are going to held a concert here in the Philippines, the first time together. *monotone.* There, the obligatory news tidbit. Also, wb, Pacman. The whole nations is proud of you. *rewinds the battle at youtube* “So short!!”

And belated merry christmas too. I havent been able to post because I was just too amused by everything happening here, lots of family members celebrating christmas with us came so it's all nice even though it's not that noisy outside (lack of firecrackers this year) but im pretty fine with it.

And of all the times that there would be a brownout, it has to be 1 hour just after new year. maybe some dumb drunkard had thought of lighting a firecracker and shot straight to the power cable *sighs

it sucks. i was suppose to watch honey and clover that time, so i would be awake till morning but nooooo, we have to eat under the candle light. and then have to sleep because it's so boring and we cant even play music.

But enough of that.

OSSSSSSUUUUUU! My new year's resolution would be

• Stop being an insensitive asshole
• Learn to control my temper. I snap a lot. Even I am surprised by myself whenever I did that. My bestfriend even commented that I should get some anger management thing, ahahahaha
• Drink a damn lot of water. =.=

ps. naruto's choice of color is blinding as always. but the sage clothing is pretty cool. i guess it's fine since he stayed true to the warm color code (red, orange, yellow). i just wish that at least his pants are black, lol. but it's okay. he's getting better and better as the manga progresses.

About my cousin, there has been some conversation and action that is being done. We've reconfirmed some connections and stuff and the plan is already there. The rest is family hush-hush. Some are opposed to it thought. But we don't care. *shrug* The rest of the clan is doing what we could to help her and her kids. Some relatives participated to support the schooling of the two eldest, one in elementary and the other kindergarten.

Anyway, Finally, I've made my half-elf druid with wisdom-dexterity build that has some constitution plus that is multi-class ready an illustration. She is my character in Neverwinter Nights but I designed her according to the intricacies of Dungeons and Dragons. I also discovered that darts are fun. (in game, not the real life one. nothing beats table tennis IMO). Especially the elemental ones and the ones with the plusses. At first, I thought of making her weild a bow, the reason for her quite high dex but now i think i am pretty much contented on these spiffy little metals. Now I have to adjust some bit of feats and skills to complement it.

And within this week, I've also realized that I am still a Morning Musume 'tard after suggesting to a friend to model that 3d character he is talking about with Natsume Abe's face or and worshiped glorified the sprite poses of Kaori given by the same friend. And I still hold some magazine of his as hostage, bwahahahaha!

*coughs*

I still can't believe myself of how I am just simply looking for a decent dragon anatomy last night to end up tarding over dungeons and dragons. again. god. i should stop playing neverwinter for a while, else i might really find myself playing dnd rpg. im already contemplating buying kits already. (i only have the monster manual and player's manual)

It's a miracle of how i still be able to do my job and afford to get sick too.

*is still raving on my missing 1995 ADnd novel/campaign setting* T_____________________________T OMG! THEY ARE NOT PRINTING THAT ONE ANYMORE! AND I THINK THEY DO NOT HAVE COPIES OF IT IN THE PHILIPPINES ANYMORE!

Ah, this is bad for my busy schedule. *scratches head*. I think that delay to buy a new video card is better so as to keep myself from installing assasin's creed and warhammer.

stop it, zachh. you are not a gamer anymore. you have a job to do. lots. *shakes head*

Also:
Congratulations, Komikon! That is one successful comic convention. Even if our group arrived late, and me later, ahahahahahahahaha but at least I'm happy to obtain that ragnarok sniper poster that i'm lusting (the sniper girl's golden eyes are gorgeous) for quite sometime, and that tenjou tenge volume 1. Yay for spoils of the war. But fuck, elpinoy is at the con. sayang!!!! i miss the opportunity of seeing him, or at least see him sketch in live. sayang talaga. sayang X_X
koishii: sa susunod gisingin mo na lang siguro ako. XD at! i'll start sketching my artist trading card para sau, hehe. sana magustuhan mo ung idea ko.

I was feeling bad last night because of milk overdose. (I've got lactose intolerance.) A while before that, I go out with my friends that are co-members of an indie manga circle. Even though our food spree resulted in me vomiting and burning of my stomach at home, i dont mind because of the productive talks and our sorta secretary-slash-standing president (our current president has migrated to north america) is back on fire. I've made her read a manga about manga production itself and she is inspired again that she showed me several storyboards and prospective stories. It is nice because we have really been inactive for years, and has been out of the indie comics industry. But it seems we are going to be active again. Yay. But this time i am going to oversee the artwork for the quality. *nods to self* I want this to be real. I've seen their releases in the past and i know now how to approach the others for the correction.

And before that meeting, me and my childhood friends went to the arcade to play gun games. And in my case, again. Excluding the random arcade visits, It's been two days in the row that i've play house of the dead for hours, and ignore how my arms ache because of carrying the big gun for too long (I am quite addicted on III, the one with the shotgun... a twohand gun that is at least two feet long). But whenever i finished playing, i always feel good even though some muscles ache somewhere because of lack of use. Drawing is not exactly that physically exerting so... *shrugs*. And i think that this is good for me because i could release there the excess aggression i have. it means i could communicate with my brother without bickering and releasing my temper.

Anyway, when i woke up this morning, my biceps feel sore so i have to buy salonpas... you know, those medicated minty strips you stick in the sore spot. i dont know how they are called in english and i am feeling lazy to search for them. so when i go down to the living room i saw my sister there.

(note: everything is in tagalog, i'll just directly translate it in english) she asked: are you awake last night? i replied no, since even though i am still half-asleep, i havent been able to make out the little ruckus they have on the first floor. then my sister told me that our first-degree cousin, the son of my mom's older sister had died.

every good feeling that i accumulated the last day went down to drain.

He is my age, one of the first generation cousins (late 70s to early 80s). My little brother and sister were the second gen. According to my sister, he was with his older brother and an uncle that is the same age as us. It was around 1am that they go back to a certain place because they have to pick up something they've forgotten. then when they step out of their motorbike, some gang came up, of course my relatives have to defend themselves. but they are overwhelmed by number and my cousin was stabbed in the head.

Those fuckers. My cousins were not doing anything. I imagine that they are really large in numbers because those guys are not to be taken lightly because they are used on fights. I am always one of the rational ones that just tells them to quit it so i've seen how they fight. The assholes have some fucking weapon with them so with their number and stuffs they overwhelm the three quickly. The first thing that i said after listening to the story is "we're going to sue them!"

He had a fucking wife and four children. Shit. Damnit. Fuck. My little brother and another cousin is at the morgue and my mother is arranging the funeral because she has some position in a lifeplan company.

*calms self*

The police are already searching the gang that did it. We are not going to stop until they've got what they deserved. It's a fucking murder!!!!!! Those assholes! My cousin did not do anything!!!!!

I should have been doing that artwork that I intend for the halloween but really, i am not in the mood of doing that anymore. I'm sorry.

Hmm, i think they are here.

Take The Steampunk Style Test at HelloQuizzy

Oh yeah, gadgets... uhhmmm. i guess if i belong in the world like steam boy, i'm prolly one of the engineers there, proudly wearing my invention, hehehe.

Today, while I was drinking sencha, I've seen several floating stalks in an upright position.

It is said that when you see that in your cup, it is lucky.

For a person like me who drinks green tea like water, it's pretty significant. (and i find it kinda cute too). How I wish that real luck would come to me at least before the end of the year.

With how i badly needed money nowadays, i might really open that commission i am planning next month ^_^$


As a side note, naruto is getting better and better per episode, especially with the culmination of the akatsuki arc. as a plus, naruto is getting cooler and cooler too. and i am still holding what me and my friend talked about. naruto, despite his lighthearted nature is much more matured than sasuke. that kid is just silent so it is not that obvious but man, he's the real emotional one.

air gear and bleach is on the culmination of their plot too. hmmm... a lot of manga are getting interesting nowadays. sora is a masochist!!

And nowadays, i am reading manga like some drunkard. i even enjoy it than anime or doramas, hehehe. it's weird but i am getting impatient when watching anime nowadays. i wonder why.

Ohhhh!!!!! have i turned into a manga otaku? i better quit those marathons. *runs away.*

And before I forget, there's this Microsoft Update in my computer that tells me to install SP3. Shall i go on with it? won't it mess up the stuffs/softwares i have?

Farewell, living world by ~claes-gascogne on deviantart

Ahhh, ii ne! Some new feature deviantart had. the pasties thing on the settings does not work with me though Anyway, just wanna share rukia. that was done in adobe illustrator. i am focusing on drawing nowadys. it's not that i am being in some hermit mode or something but... well, aside from work i wanted to practice my watercoloring skills more. i just discovered that's its considerably rusty. good thing about is that im enjoying it. maybe i'll post the practice pieces if ever i developed the guts, ahahha.

i have lots of things to finish i dont know if i am going to laugh at

ah, this is something i draw the other day when i was bored waiting for some video presentation project that i was doing to finish rendering/exporting.

Also, do you remember the lineart i made ages ago? well that artwork is already finished and this is it in all its colored glory :** Remembrance by ~claes-gascogne on deviantART

FOR MY VIRGO AND LIBRA FRIENDS (in other words, those heaps of friends i happen to have that celebrates their birthday at september... God, how many alerts i've receive on my email alone?) i'll just prolly... i dont know. im still going to think about it. it's already 2 down and... uncountable to go. >_>

*filched from rin-chan.

You Are Black Tea

You have a bold personality. You're not afraid of simply being yourself. You have the courage to speak the truth. You are fearless in your actions. You come off as a bit intimidating and unapproachable. Only confident people are attracted to you. You don't try to scare off anyone. You're just an intense person!

*blinks*
wah. so little questions and it pegged my personality right off the bat.



about question no. 1: working on a hobby : of course, my work IS my hobby so naturally you're going to see me passing the day with drawing and stuff. (it's was a small difference between daydreaming though LOL)

and they ARE scared of me. and a lot of people expresses how i emit an unapproachable aura when they dont know me yet.

Last night me and my 'barkada' (uhmm.... nakama/best buddies/amigos...) had what we call a soba party for a friend that had a birthday last week. It was like some reunion, lol. Well, they were my highschool buddies after all. We did a cold soba and being a crazy lot we are, mixed it with shrimp and a filipino dish (that i dont know what it's called) with tahong, altering its taste based on what we prefer.

MMhhh... oishi.

What is cold soba anyway? they were eaten like pansit habhab. after cooking and washing the noodle, it should be drained from water and iced them to keep em cold. to eat it, just dip the soba (the noodles) in a sauce.

The only annoying thing there is when the four of use were complete, the first remark my friend said to me was: "Hey, don't you ever appear like that in front of me, it's disgusting!" Just because I was wearing short shorts. That fucker. The girls laughed, of course. I feel kinda annoyed but I just grinned (because the girls were laughing...) then kicked his knees. And he added (while laughing) "Baket ba?(What?)It gives me the shivers!" *kicked his shin twice*

And no, we are not quarreling. It's the normal way we aliens 'communicate'. (no, he's straight. It's just he's not used on seeing me being.... girly and stuff since I am not like that when we were highschool buddies) It's quite a long time since I saw him. In our highschool days, he was the one that influenced me into watching hentai and playing pc games like command and conquer. And I still DO love reading hentai mangas or browsing over AV stuffs until now. But at least his reactions is much better than my other friend (at the indie circle i belong) that is an absolute homophobe. *sighs*.

Speaking of manga circles, we are going to release an original soon ^_^ If we could manage, we'll try to make it at komikon.

Back to last night. We watched sakuran a picturesque edo era movie featuring a prostitute portrayed by anna tsuchiya. Also, on doramas, I recommend watching seigi no mikata.

Anyway, starting this month, all fic and fanart updates were going to be posted on my other account. Of course, my betaed fics and sketches/illustrations are still going to be posted here but the progression of my works, mostly fanfic were there. It's easier to update knowing you are just typing a few words because here, i mix them with my personal life. :P

first of all, im too lazy so push the shift button. (it's stucked. this keyboard sucked. and im too lazy to replace it too)so bear with it. :P

recent naruto chapters:

oh my... i think tsunade is too much keen on the role of being naruto's self-proclaimed grandma. either that or kishimoto just want to build the drama. (which in my opinion is real reason behind) naruto has experienced a SHITLOAD of things already without anyone giving a flying fuck about it and i think they dont need to treat him like that when he's already fifteen. (too late for that granny, too late for that)

oh well. you cant really help it when there are people that worries a lot around you. its not naruto's fault to be around these people, nor its tsunade's fault for caring like that to naruto.

what and when was it again that the third had made everybody swear not to tell the new generation about the kyuubi incident? i kind of forgot the details. but the consequence of it could be that naruto would never know who his parents are. sad. but im still hoping that if they would let someone from the new generation know, i think naruto has the right to know everything since he's the one directly involved in the whole incident. if mizuki had not revealed it to him once, every konoha teenagers would not know about it, probably ever.

sasuke however is a sheltered child until the clan that is sheltering him died. then the rest were just lies and deceit. (unlike naruto who is exposed to the cruel world since the beginning) but in a way, his elder brother is still sheltering him from everything. he kept him from the reality of the deal between uchiha's and konohas. that they are not the elite and honorable clan that the civilians know of them after all. (oohhh, discrimination from the government!) and that flashback about naruto and itachi's conversation... it made me realize that he might have anticipated that sasuke might believe what tobi said. after all, a genius should look at all angles as possible. with someone with such a heavy burden like him should. naruto is probably some kind of a plan B to Itachi.

itachi wanted to shape sasuke into something that he think fits him. too bad the boy does not want to have any of that. poor nii-san. maybe in his eyes, it would be better if sasuke had just went on with his plan.

the word "shiro no sasuke" comes to mind, ahahahah.

shiro=white white=sybolizes purity. lol.

Ah, Senrei-chan, i wanted to give you something, since you're being nice and agreeing on betain the Reincarnation prequels, i've decided to make a fanart for you. ah, thank goodness i havent lost my touch after an eternity of not drawing narusasu. though... i should have made a KakaSasu instead hmm... ow well. (ah, thanks for the kakasasu douj in your site, btw)

it's manga styled, yay.../sarcasm all those time i spend drawing manga is getting on me. really.


Hey, somebody wanna rec a nice KakaIta oneshot, not necessarily smut, preferably not PWP fic here?

and oh, i've found a sasusaku artist. i quite like her style, so if you still know her, check out her DA http://nami86.deviantart.com/

Ah, I've found something interesting. It says that in some neurogical test, gay men have similarities in brain structure in straight women as lesbians with het men. hmm.... read the article

im still also doing the fanfics, if some are worried. though im more focused on reincarnation nowadays since its experiencing a major revamp. getting the crapness away from the writing style as well as plugging the annoying plotholes is not an easy job. i miss pick up the phone but i'll be writing it again once i've gotten around the sidestories of rein.

addtl: and oh, kakkyou, i'll do that thing that we've talked about *mad cackle*

Before anything else....

Warning! for anime viewers, please be adviced that manga episodes are usually way advanced from the anime so if you dont want to be spoiled, please dont read the rest!

Well, kinda late reaction but *shrugs* Anway, has anyone seen Kyou Kara Maou R(OVA)? Anyway, Its been such a long time since I've watched the anime KKM series but whenever I see their previous king, it really strikes me. like... oohhhh blonde blue-eyed gorgeous guy... Then the next thought would be: Then why the heck could Naruto not look like that? (Especially when I saw a poster of him and Sasuke near each other and being beside a poster boy *cough*bishounen*cough*like that, it made him look... uh really plain.

( thoughts about the latest Naruto, Nodame, W Juliet eppie )
Ah, yeah. I know another awesome gender-bender manga but I think that's for another time.

*snicker* (its really weird for me to snicker like this on some bad happening, ne?)

( Last year, there has been some dramatic change in the household. It actually not just affected but threatened us... )

there is this problem in my pc that is whacking my brain in half. ironically, when i was already at my wit's end, ready to raise the white flag and scream a desperate "i surrender!", i've managed to save it once and or all. i cant believe it. at that moment, im practically surrounded by flowers. but, and its not over yet. not more than 2 days later, we bought a laptop (as always im the one that is to accompany to check for the right model and nice bargain) and i have to fix the installation again because the first time the os was installed, i'm not 100% supervising it. and i have missed checking some stuffs too. its annoying. i have to start from the top and figure out what had gone wrong. it ended with me reformatting the whole hard drive and fixing everything from scratch. but its all fine now anyway. its all working with all the needed softwares in it just yesterday. ah, darn i forgot to reinstall the c++ *groans. but they are going to use the laptop for tomorrow and i'll be away...

and my work suffers *hangs head*

*yawns. that heart-shaped donut my little sister took home is tasteless. but the kafta that i ate the last day is heavenly. i wanna eat that chocolate cake with some hot beverage tomorrow morning.

caffeine. oh god, i think im getting addicted. must get back drinking tea to loose it. save me! my beloved earl grey!

ah, i remember something. i practiced toning a page from manga studio. i might post it sometime.

Update: Nyehaha. Actually, I started coloring Orochimaru. I remember sketching them and comparing each one. Its amusing of how vastly different the arrival of their attractiveness it. True, Naruto is not a bishounen (nor is Kiba) but they have their looks in an amusing, bratty and rough kind of way.

And I just love how Naruto turned out. Though I still dont have the heart to put the fox whiskers on him yet (prolly will just do it at the last moments) because everytime I put on the marks, I frown because it makes him look more bratty and mischievous. Anyway, his poster is inspired from the time he trained , trying to cut the waterfalls. So that's why he was half-naked and wet (drool!) and kind of pissed(ma~ naruto is naruto. always impatient about anything).

Though Orochimaru oozes this kind of sexiness only he could produce and kakashi... ahh, kakashi. i just love you. He's make a nice hunter poster with a relaxed expression and as always that mysterious aura he has. And well, Sasuke. Yeah, still good looking and rape-worthy as ever. I like the concept of my poster for him, hehe. It'll be revealed when I post him with his background.

( click to see the sketches. sasuke, orochimaru, naruto and kakashi )

Their background are going to be painted directly, digitally except for Sasuke's and Kakashi's which I have sketched already.

Damn, where is that english translation of Naruto 382? DAMN IT ALL!!

And I think I'll agree with Jiraiya that Naruto is more like Yondaime. *nods* Naruto is like... some mini version of him, minus the bishie-ness (too bad, naruto :3 ) Don't you think that that grin is sooooo familiar?

Update

Final Shortlisted names. We've also decided which month they are going to be but uh... kakyou024 has the half of the list, I'll prolly update this later when she saw this post and gave it to me.

Sasuke continued to run, hating that blond idiot, his garish clothes, his wild hair, his blue eyes, his lips… his lips… He growled from the memory and rubbed his lips in an attempt to erase it. Erase the memory and the feeling of it, especially the tingle that still lingered on his lips.

It annoyed him more than anything. A shrill laugh resounded in his skull. Sasuke wanted to bash his head against a wall.

( whose memory are you talking about right now, Sasuke-kun? )

>hey, zacchy, how do you do?
=fine! im so awfully fine i wanna strangle somebody!
>wow, that's nice! i wanna do it too!
= oh that's cool, come on... i love this day, its so fine and dandy!
hey...
>umm.. the big rat... *shifty eyes*

no, im not shitting you. last sunday night while we're going to an overnight we saw a rat as big as puppy at the streets. i thought it would crawl straight to my feet. and i know i looked stupid the time i climbed at the gate when the thing is going near. (my little sister is like... what are you doing there?)

fine, you're free to laugh. some friends....

life:
i hate theeeem! i have my 2 day holiday by nov 1 and 2. we were invited to the province (pangasinan) for my niece's first birthday. and that day we'll visit every family member from other towns living in pangasinan. i'm fine with november 2, and fixed my schedule. i intend to devote my whole day doing commissions and other stuffs i cant do when i have work but this morning they have to decide that we are going there THIS afternoon! what the heell!! one thing i hate is when my nicely scheduled time is being sabotaged! arg *stabs them*

and yeah, i almost forgot. i unsubscribed from my former internet connection last october so dont be surprised that you havent heard anything from me from that month up to these days. i've already applied to another isp because they are available to our street at last but i have to wait because they did not give a specific time when in november because its still under process at the city hall and the isp cant do anything but to wait for the approval. when the time comes, i'll have more time online. and hopefully, that other computer my aunt would ship to our home would have arrived already.

work:
everybody knows i have a regular job now, right? but after some months i dont think i would stay long due to lots of reasons. and time is one of them. meh. now that i have a paypal, and a new bank account, i could transact money easily online and anywhere in the world (geez... did that sound like an advertisement?) that seeming large wall in front of me (that i repeatedly rant of) had disappeared. T____T now i feel more flexible. not to mention its now easier to get work because 1>i have more samples (from my work) and 2>the paypal block is removed.

fics:
i have the intention of finishing Pick up the Phone today as some sort of halloween special (since the fic matches the mood) but now that my schedule is changed, I CANT. and im hating it. *chews plates* oh yeah, its almost lunch but i'll try finishing it at the first week at the very least.
Reincarnation: I so love this fic. (its not that i dont like pickup but this is my first naruto fanfic, yanno) as of yet, this is my pet project. and currently, i have fixed the plot for the 3 seasons (YES, there are 3 season!) i really like the 3rd season, hurhur. i like the changes i made in the first season and i hope you guys like it too. but old readers, dont worry, i did not actually changed the general plot, its just that the plots are overlapping themselves that i have to fix them, thus season 2 was born. but season 3 is just an idea that i've been playing for a long time now and when i had a concrete thought about it, i applied it in the fic. and i remember myself feeling that the relationship is too fast. i fixed it now and added some more depth on the story and i like my first season plot now. what i'm planning is to finish editing the released episodes, re-publish them all in a span of 1 week and then after some days perhaps i'll be posting the latest chapter, where we last left. :3

calendar project:
kakkyou had conducted the survey at another site but the top 12 still has not changed. so i guess its fine. i have given kakkyou the needed 'documents' XD so we are starting our sketches now. i'll be posting the sketches after the holidays, after i get back from the province. as for kakkyou, im going to wait for her latest update. ^_^


have a pleasant halloween.

I hate whining. Or saying stuffs that would make me admit that i am a human and can feel these things too. but... *sighs*

Ok, everybody knows that my uber serious and pyscho fic Pick up the Phone has a real small amount of reviews that sometimes i think nobody reads them at all. I get kind of affected and sometimes share the sentiment to my friends but i try not to be affected that much so i move on after feeling those things. of course seeing that a lot of people review the fic encourages you a lot but a few is really fine for me as long as i get really good feedbacks. dont get me wrong. i cherish every little reviews for this fic. p.u.t.p.'s reviews are just a handful, after all but its still not enough for me to know what the crowd thinks about it. and i just wish that they would say it even if in a negative tone. a crit? so much better. and then someone left a really brilliant *rolls eyes* review over FFnet. check the one that is dated 2007-07-17. that time, i contemplated replying in a very sarcastic tone but decided against it. I dont care about numbers, goddamnit. i need crits and feedback.

and i dont even hear some more intelligent remark about my fic in AFF. and its been days since i posted my update there. (i dont bump my fics like everybody else...principle.) of course, i could tell that there are readers by the number of hits but i dont have an idea of how many percent of those like my story. i am not complaining of the very few reviews that i have. and as i said, i dont care about numbers but the opinion of the crowd for me to study is just. too. few. good thing there are a few people here and there that encourages me to go and continue my fic. at least, i see the hope that there are some people that are still reading between the lines, not just gobbling a lot of mindless smut and repeatedly laundered high school fics over some other fanfic sites. when i first started this fic, i really, really like it and the prospective of the multiple personality syndrome excites me. and it makes me think. and i wanna share that exitement to everyone but it seems that just a handful appreciates it. and to be honest, i really think im not getting enough. *sighs*

im just depressed, dont mind me. perhaps im just too tired from work, and pressure from the office is extra hard this day.

but if you're doubting, do not worry, i have the intention of finishing 'all' my fics how long it might take.

Doujin Update:

I'll do a narusasu doujin after i finished the Naruto boys calendar 2008 The plot is already planned and i have half in mind of doing a fanfic out of it first but *shrugs* i dont know if i'll manage. i'll start thinking about it by december when im available.

And its a long one. And oh, i'll devise a way for it to have a preview but the whole douj wont be free. (sorry)

Fic Update

Reincarnation will be continued hopefully next year. The reason? I'm writing the parts that I think are necessary to add to the story. It would just give some more background for the future chapters and not to mention would give depth to the story. In other words, Coma (chapter 1) would be extended and there is a possiblity for a prelude (chapter). But i still want to keep the fic wholesome. And hopefully, I could work on and improve the grammar as I work the rest of the existing chapters. (That way senrei-chan wont get bogged too much, hehe) I'll remove the japanese phrases too, unless its needed.

Here is the latest unposted and unbetaed chapter of Rein. This is just a quarter of the whole chapter. i wont be posting the rest because the scene (for me) is kind of big that it feels spoilery. :3 and oh, btw. the plot for chapter 8 is already laid-out too. ^^


Episode 07
-Communication -
( As poor Naruto is being dragged by the ear out of the subway by a sullen brunette, another conversation over the phone is happening elsewhere... )
