Well, first of all, I'd like to give my excuse that I have THESIS for the next couple of months. It's a pretty big deal when it comes to college education. For now it's just the documents, but then I'll have to start programming soon. Not to mention, I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A SCANNER right now, so even then my normal sketches can't be scanned. To those who may have heard of the storm Ketsana (called Ondoy here) which managed to smite the homes of several Filipinos, I was also somewhat affected. The house is still fine, mind you, but I was forced to stay in a condominium for a while. There's not internet there, even moreso without a scanner.

So basically, I'm rather disabled at the moment, and I only manage to post here every week or so. This is just to tell everyone that I'm still okay and I hope to post something soon enough. If anyone needs me, I do remain active in my plurk account (which i only disclose to some people) and you can steal leave me notes.

Is anyone else following Akaboshi ~Ibun Suikoden~ manga? It's basically another take on the Shui Hu Zhuan, or Water Margin, which is the basis of the Gensou Suikoden games. I've been taking note of the Stars of Destiny appearing there. The main character is The Speedy Star, Taisou (a japanese translation of his star). It's a recommended read for Suikoden fans who like shonen manga. I suggest you try spotting which stars are which. Their suprisingly true to the novel (in SOME cases), and by far very entertaining.

Other mangas I'm following right now are: Soul Eater, Akuma to Love Song, and Katekyou Hitman Reborn

As for anime, I'm enjoying: 07 Ghost, Asura Cryin, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and am eagerly waiting for the Tales of Symphonia ~Tethe'ala Arc~

As for gaming, I've recently ordered a copy of Tales of Vesperia online. I'll never be sure if it'll get localized anyway, so I'm ordering it now. I'm getting a PS3 unit within the next few weeks, so i'm stocking up on games now. For those who ask me if it's a problem because it's in Japanese, I'll be fine. I've played Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut, Destiny 2, Rebirth, Innocence, Hearts, World: Radiant Mythology 2, and VS and I'm still sane (they were never localized). Background in Japanese sure helped me alot. I get to practice Japanese too.

Also, I've recently just maxed out ALL my characters in Tales of VS, and I still have no one to fight with. Oh well...

No real plans yet. But I'm trying to push through with the Tales plan I have... As for when, I'm not quite sure.
