ANME NORTH 2012

Haven't went in three years so I finally had money to go again!
Day 1: waited in line with Julia and her cousin for 2 hours while taking pics of cosplays. Walked around, bought stuff in the artist alley, walked around the dealer's room and bought stuff at nominochi. Basically when I bought mostly everything aha. Oh and Julia and her cousin's cosplays were awesome, they managed to get 16 pictures, 3 hugs and 3 high fives that day.
Day 2: Took more pics, bought stuff in the dealer's room, went to some anime chess, met the voice actor of Jude from 6teen, watched Princess Jellyfish (love that anime), split up with Julia and her brother and met up with Aimi, Sam and his friend Oscar. We were all really tired and just sat and walked around. Then we got hungry and ate sushi which we all regret our orders lol Then Aimi, knowing practically everyone at the con kept leaving us, we were the default friends she would go to LOL While we were sitting around, people were giving out high fives for a good 5 hours. Forgot we had to get wristbands for the masquerade so instead Sam an I went to this thing called lame anime which was pretty funny haha. Met up with Julia and her brother in the end and... yeah. That was my weekend at AN. (:
Couldn't go today cause I told my mom I wouldn't, whatever, I didn't have money after yesterday anyways.

Studio Ghibli 2012-2013 Calendar

Finished the calendar for com-tech today and it actually turned out really well! I keep staring at it lol can't wait for it to be printed. c: I edited and put together all the tops and bottoms. And yes, I had to put in stuff in the dates, part of what we're getting marked on..

Realization

Why is it that people must be happy all the time? Shouldn’t everyone be sad once in a while too? Maybe that sad day is that sadness we’ve bottled up for a long time in which we’ve only accepted now. So it’s only essential to feel sad… nothing’s wrong with feeling sad.

 I recently discovered the meaning behind this as I cried for the first time in church... I don't know why I cried, but I came to a realization that I am truly grateful for my life as cheesy as it sounds. I just feel upset that I don't really do anything to help others, I want to make a difference but I still have to think of how I will come to do so.

Handmade stores >>>

Volunteer meeting > Starbucks > K-town with Jaz.

 Happy hour.

Stores like these make me so happy... and sad because i'm so broke. lol

More than expected

Saturday I was invited to a session and I had no idea what to expect. The only session I go to is yd sessions so it was great to be in a different environment. What I didn't know was the extent of this program being offered to us for free. I feel so honoured to be apart of this program and now I just need to try my best to excel from it no matter what. I will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to improve. I also feel like I made a lot of progress from that one day, far more progress than I would in one yd session. Another thing I learned was the mentality I should have as a dancer. Someone told me that I should try my best when I am tired so that when I have energy, I  will improve a lot faster. Obviously he said it way better than how I said it but I was just really inspired after what he said. At the end of the day, I was asked to be a part of the team. I was surprised, happy and confused all at once but I couldn't help but accept the offer right away. I am just so privileged to be surrounded by such great people in my life.
