wow
No sketches in this post. I'm at home for the weekend (finally!) and I didn't have time to scan the sketches that I drew this week, I'll be sure to post them sometime next week though. :)
Wow, this week was really hectic for me. I had 3 midterms and 2/3 were quite difficult. I know that I failed my epi one from last week, though I haven't gotten the grade for it yet. I also scored the same for my 2 psych classes, which I thought was hilarious. Same as in bad though. I guess giving up procrastinating for lent will be a good thing.
Reminiscing and stuff ahead, just a warning.
So the first thing that I did when I returned home was look through my old sketchbooks. Boy, do those pages tell a story. I remember being pretty proud of my drawings back then, sadly, I used to think that they were SO good and I was humble about it when people used to tell me that they were good. I guess you can say that my head got quite inflated. lmao. When I looked back, I said to myself, wtf was I thinking?! these are freakin horrible. hahaha! How sad. XD the proportions are all awkward and it's sickening to look at. I used to be really scared to show people my drawings back then also. I guess that's why I never really improved, because I hated the criticism. Nowadays, I finally realized that criticism can be a good thing. :)
After rummaging through my piles of sketchbooks on my bookshelf, I shifted myself to the office and started to look through the bunch of papers that I had crammed underneath the shelf on my desk. To my surprise, I found a lot more crappy sketches. A lot were of Vin (my character that I created), since I guess I was drawing him a lot back then. They were dated all the way back to 2002-2004! DANG. That's such a long time ago. I think those were the years when I was my old self, extra nerdy and happy. lol. It brought back a lot of memories looking back at those drawings. It also brought a smile to my face.

Old sketches weren't the only things that I found. I also found the translation of the last episode of Meteor Garden from my friend, Rachel. I was really surprised that I still had it after all these years. I would think that my mom would have thrown it away since her sense of "junk" is different than mine. heh. I do remember he mentioning to me:
"Kelly! If you throw this away, I'm going to kill you! I spent over 2 hours just translating the entire episode! you better keep this forever!"
hahahaha! I kept it. After so many years. I remember being super obsessed with that series. It was the first chinese drama I ever watched. I didn't understand mandarin (and still don't), so Rachel had to sit next to me and translate every single episode. I have to admit that she did a wonderful job at that. I also remember watching one day and my grandma came into the room and was like, Kelly, why are you watching something you can't understand? then she proceeded to sit down and watch it herself. lmao. I asked her if she could possible translate it for me, and she did, for like 5 lines, then she'd keep watching it. XD Oh grandma, so funny. lol
Along with the translation of Meteor Garden, I also found a couple of old slam books from my high school days, pretty early days at that. One of them was the notebook that a couple of friends and I used to write in during our Algebra 2 class. We hated our teacher so instead of paying attention during class, we used to pass around a notebook and write/draw in it. Most of the stuff that we wrote in there was HILARIOUS. I read through a bit today and cracked up. xD That was some fun stuff.
Another was a small notebook that only Rachel and I wrote in. It chronicled our days of RGP playing, the release of Kingdom Hearts, and just good ole' fun. The very first developments of Vin were also in that notebook, so I'm guessing we wrote that during the end of our sophomore year/early junior year. We even filled the entire thing up. Those were the days...

A friend of mine/roommate recommended me a chinese drama on thursday titled "It started with a kiss". It's been a long time since I watched one of those dramas but I decided to give it a shot. I have to say that its one of the best shows I've seen in a while. I just wish I had started that sooner before the writer's strike ended! lol. I started watching the episodes on youtube yesterday and haven't stopped! Omg, the entire series is about 30 episodes and I've watched 15 so far. I'm hooked. It's such a cute drama. I just love the story and the characters. It makes me smile. :) I just adore love stories. They secretly make me squee. haha. I also want to learn mandarin so I can understand what's going on. Thankfully, there are subs, and I can understand very little since mandarin/canto have a lot of similarities, but it still makes me want to learn. I remember Rachel trying to teach me in high school. I still remember a few things.
After finding all of those items from my past, it makes me miss it. I mean, relationship wise. I sorta really miss what I used to have with friends. We used to be really close. I remember something changed me a lot during high school, that started my plummet into "darkness". I became a different person.
It's not good to dwell on the past, and I won't continue to. I find myself slowly becoming happier again. :) Now that I'm no longer in a relationship with anyone, it allows me to focus on other things. One of them being my interpersonal relationships amongst my friends.
Wow, this post ended up really long, sorry if I clogged your friends page. lol.
Gosh, it's so late! I have to get to sleep. I actually have stuff to do this weekend. I also hope to finish that Apollo Justice mural I started 4 weeks ago. hahaha. Let's see how far I get. I also feel bad for not finishing Rachel's drawing. D: I'm so horrible.
Oh yeah, Since Vin has been alone for all these years, I decided to give him a "companion", his name is Dorian.
