Oh, almost forgot. Anita Mui [the actor, not my mother who has almost the same name] died of Overian [?] Cancer yesterday around midnight. It's the thrid celebrity that died this yr [close enough], and one of the LAST cantonese-speaking stars that can actually SING. First there was Roman, then that bishie [that was homosexual, but that doesn't really matter], now Anita. She got first place in the First annual singing contest-thingie in HK. So she can actually sing, unlike the newer celebrities in HK: can't sing, can't act, and not even very pretty.

This is a reply to a friend on email that I wish to post. Dated 20031214 12.33 :

sorta busy at the moment, so i'll just ans your Q regarding the YnM thing. I did some research on Matsushita Youko [the mangaka/artist] and found out that YnM has been suspended for over a year now. Apprently Matsushita-sensei got obesessed over video games, even made fan webbies of them, but because she used her real name, she was flooded w/ Qs like 'how's the series [meaning YnM] doing', so she closed them down. She did expressed in her webbies that she doesn't want to be a mangaka anymore, so there might be a chance that YnM will end w/o an ending and vol 12 will never come out.

btw, i don't know her webbies [wish i did], i got these info by searching 'matsushita youko' on google.

it's really sad and i was sad to hear this news. i honesty hope that she would continue YnM. She's amazing because YnM is her first series [i heard she did 2 other short stories, but i have not read them], and it got into a two-digit volume. that is amazing because usually artists, when they first draw as pros, they start w/ two/three volume stories. this shows her skills and potential to become sucessful. it's dissapointing to hear that she lost interest.

Uhh...last week of winter break =oO;;= and i haven't accomplished much. At all. amari nai. And the cat right now is sleeping on my left arm. He's getting heavy =oO;;= Silly kitty, I love him. Did I mention that we went to see Monarch butterflies on Sunday the 28th and I took pictures of them using a monocular?

I currently have all the Hikaru no Go anime [all 75!!], and am trying to burn them onto CDs. I've already messed up 3. I don't know what happened, but after burning the CD would have reduced total memory with no contents. =~"~;;= Last night and today so far I've been organizing my hard drives. renaming them and putting them in the right places, etc.

I got presents for 5 or so people. I wish I can get more allowance. I need it. OH by the way, it seems like I'm getting through to my mother to buy me a PS2.

AHHHH I still need to make a new layout!! and still trying to find what is wrong with Blogger & Prohosting. Maybe I'll try using Greymatter instead.

I'm getting fat and my drawing skills are not getting better. Which reminds me, the Third Rising Stars of Manga [RSOM] begins accepting entries on January 1, 2k4! Must start storyboarding, Kit-chan! And there's always the homework...

I really like the lyrics of Hikaru no Go openings & endings. +sniff+

Went to see monarch butterflies. They're so pretty. My Digital Camara doesn't zoom enough so we 'attached' a mono-cular in front of the lense. It sounds stupid but it works well. Must go load the pics in now. I'll upload them later.

Again, I abandoned my blog for almost a month, and since I'm on winter vacation now, I'll try to fix everything and get back on blogging. Who am I talking to anyways? =oO;=

Went to a Graphics Novel sneak preview yesterday in the San Mateo City Library; it was fun. Made a ton of suggestions, LoL. Uh, got a new computer during thanksgiving weekend, so I've also been sorting out my files and such. I can watch .avi formats now!! Nonetheless, I lost my addressbook in outlook express, and outlook express have been behaving strangely lately [i.e. stuff inside local folders dissappearing, bulk mail dissappearing when I try to move them to the local box, etc], so maybe I should stop using outlook express.

Ah. on Tuesday we had a field trip to the cartoon art museum in San Francisco. We were wave 2: eat, museum, city cruising. Ate in the Metreon [I played DDR instead; found a free pad inside a store]; this sandwich place inside the foodcourt is GREAT, except they use way too much oil. The museum had a Political Cartoon event-thing, and I found a My Neighbor Totoro cel +heart+. Too bad we didn't have enough time for a full-route city crusing lead by the 3D-art teacher...lanburg? I'd've loved to walk around a bit more.

Only got 2.5 hours of sleep. Why did I have so much homework/project/tests on the last day ANYWAYS?!

gotta work on blog now.
