Training kitty is hard and tiring.
I had class today from 9am - 10:20pm.
Then I got to go home and give Shiloh his medicine and clean out the litter boxes, extra fun.
Momo has been really uncooperative these two days. I think he’s been too angsty in my room. I’d prefer him back in the room with Shiloh but he’s still sick and contagious, sigh.
Good news is my 2D animation class seems fun! Adobe Flash <3...

Lazisies, Photography and Chinese
I haven’t been updating in regards to the 30 Days of Photography because I’ve been too busy out with my family all day haha. I have the pictures though. I’ll find sometime this weekend to upload them. *NOTE TO SELF: STOP BEING SO DARN LAZY and GET YOUR LICENSE so you can shoot in places outside of your neighborhood.
I made a new tumblr for my family conversations in...

Comic framing
When I looked up ‘comic framing’ I didn’t exactly get what I asked for…
I meant comic page panel design. STORYBOARDING that would be nice :o

Wendy's Devotion sharing
I was really humbled by my leader’s devotion that she shared on our blog.
The purpose of someone’s life is really what their life consists of – their thoughts, choices, sacrifices, how they act and treat others all depend on what they want to spend their life on. If the purpose of my life is to live for myself, then relationships are expendable and all my resources would be used/saved for...

Day 4 - Something Green
My favorite green item is, of course, leaves. This is my mom’s potted house plant. It hasn’t blossomed any flowers yet but it will soon! The buds are coming out :)
FUN FACT: Most people don’t know until I tell them (even Chinese folks) that my last name means leaf (葉 traditional, 叶simplified) I always thought simplified way of spelling it looked spiffy.
It’s...

Day 3 - Clouds
Clouds weren’t really apparent on a grey day so I decided to increase the contrast and the black levels and gave it a slight pink tint to emphasize the presence of the clouds.
I still prefer this picture, I like yellow cars :3
I’ll upload Day 4 later today.

Day 2 - Wearing
Dressed like a kiddie today.
Took this with my phone camera while at Costco. I wanted some good sunlight instead of warm tungsten lights in my house.
I had another idea for how to approach taking a picture of just my clothes but not so sure I’d want to post something like that online…

Lily and Mother's Day!
FOLLOW-UP for TODAY- Saturday, May 7, 2011:
My parents got to meet Lily! Well, sorta, they kind just stood outside the room and peeked inside. At first, they said she looked super ugly (ack my heart!) but later they saw her boots (her paws) and they proceeded to comment on how pretty she was. SIDE NOTE: I finally understand why Shrek character, Puss in Boots, is a cat in a pair of boots. I...

KITTY KITTY and KIDDIES
I wrote this two nights ago (May 5, 2011) but I forgot to post it:
I contacted the foster mom of Lily and I’m excited to announce that my parents are going to meet her this Saturday. I’m going home and we’re going to PetsMart to meet her. I haven’t seen her in so long, I wonder how big she’s gotten. Nonetheless, I hope my mom comes to like her as much as I do.
As a...

In Sickness and Health
I haven’t been posting much because I found out my illness was none other than, DUN DUN DUN, the deadly pneumonia. Two Thursdays ago, an hour and a half wait, a chest x-ray, and $85 bucks later I find out I gots a lung infection. My friend said and I quote, “that’s such an archaic illness…” Which just makes me sound old and febal. I never expected to get such a random...

Sick and Weak
So I’ve been for about two weeks now and it’s not getting better. In fact, it’s worse. I’m not really in the mood to be blogging today but I seeing that I can barely speak and my heart feels like it’s gonna explode, I should at least try :P
My body’s been disgusting frail lately. Lately, I’ve been sleeping at bizzare hours, 5am or 10pm. Since I’m...

Grey Hair
Currently Listening to: Nicholas Payton - Dear Louis
I never understood the appeal of dying hair grey. Didn’t our ancestors fight hard for dyes that were brown, black and all the colors of the rainbow? Old(er) people don’t want to be reminded of the fact that they look and feel old but yet our young generation feels the need to have grey hair. I was reading the wonderful horror...

Squealings and Church
Currently Listening to: Miles Davis - Eighty-One
I can’t really define my excitement for studying abroad. I know I’ve already ranted on and on about it previously but I finally turned in my application for Hong Kong University and Yonsei University today. I’m glad I’m done with that so I can focus more on this semester now. But on to more serious matters first… OMG...

Abducted Shower & Living in a Closet
Currently Listening: Chico Hamilton - For Mods Only
These past two days, someone stole beloved showering spot. My shower is the only one without the nasty vinyl shower curtains. I hang my clothes about a foot away from me instead of five feet like in the other stalls. Anyways, someone was showering at the same time I was and using my stall! So you know what I did?
Using my persuasive tongue,...

Grey Tux & Warm Bodies
Recently, I’ve been so interested in adopting a cat and just today I happen to go to Petsmart with my friend Jess. I met a extremely heart-warming kitty, Lily, a grey tux. She even has a best friend who is the same breed and her name is Daisy. I showed Daisy’s picture to Karen, my best friend and she said we should adopt them together. That’d be a thought though she’s...
