Hello again, all!

Just here for my monthly check in. (Sarcasm) I keep saying I'm gonna have more time, I'm gonna have more time . . . And then we move. Now, it's my porch that's taking up my free time.
I have a little porch in my backyard, which Stella loves dearly. She like to take her big drawing pad and computer outside and drink tea in the morning, and we watch the squirrels and birds fight in the mammoth tree outside. Five minutes later, leaves come raining down out of whatever special part of hell hovers over my house. t(>_<t) emoticon
I sweep them up dutifully, keeping my little porch as clean as possible. This continues . . . forever.
Stella keeps telling me that it's a good zazen training, and that anger does my blood pressure and our household wa damage. Still . . . I keep sweeping and they keep coming, like a storm of justice for some unknown wrong I did in a previous life. Tons and tons of them, out of trees that appear to have no loose leaves remaining. Ugh. Worst thing is, I can't use a leaf blower out there because it'll mess with Stella's allergies for sure. Lots of dust and pollen around here, we notice.

On the lighter side, I've noticed that the ground smells good when it rains outside the city. While in New York, I never noticed that the City smelled like a dung heap after a rain. Kind of foul and very hot, it was never good to go out after a hard rain. Now, it's like all the flowers in the world give up their scent to the raindrops. The whole area smells so wonderful, and it's so breezy and cool. (n_n)-b emoticon Very nice to hang out in.

Also, I'm getting a bit of a tan.

That's all for now! Since I have more time now, I hope to . . . Never mind.

*picks up his dustpan and charges out after lone leaves*

Regards, Aaron

Stella is getting excited to finish the hard holiday work so that we can go skiing. She's a great skier, and I am very poor. I think I'll try snowboarding this time to hopefully fall less due to my skis going in opposite directions!


( []-[])9 emoticon I know what you're talking about m8.
My girl wanted to go skiing too.
We are the same as you guys. I am 1'91 with no sense of balance whatsoever, and she is 1'59. She never tried skiing before, but small people have good balance. She should be better than me, and that is really intimidating!
I'm the same as always, although now I am preparing myself for the back-to-my-hometown-Xmas-trip ^^

Cya m8.

I think same thing happened here. I mean about got ALL points in high school and GOT the points in the college. I don't learn math in my department, but one of my friend does, he's in IT department. Anyway, I'm in graphic design department, I don't remember if I have told you or not. In this first semester, we learn how to do things manually such as drawing objects using construction lines, using copics (so damn expensive T__T), using brushes and paint, etc. I'm currently taking some pictures of my tasks, I want to put it together as my portfolio. Some of the good ones are being taken by my lecturer though and I haven't get a shot out of it... I'll show you once I finished, most of the tasks that I did is a bit hard to be described, especially using my limited English, hehe ^^;

How are things going on with you and Stella? Fine, I hope :D
Anyway, do you guys get a winter/Christmas holiday there?

I am finally enjoying my holiday at the moment. After a long and busy semester.. Geez.. I sleep for minimal 6 hours per day now because I know that the next semester would be worse = = Getting 2 or 3 hours sleep per day are already a bless for me.. This is not the thing that's happening to all graphic design student. I often not sleep because of my speed of work (damn slow) and my need to get my work close to perfection.

The grades.. well.. it's not as good as I hope.
My final exam really crash it all. I get pretty good grades for my tasks and mid test, but suddenly my final exam turns into hell or something. Most of the grades that I get are unsatisfying. I feel extremely desperate because of it, but I'm so lucky to have some friends who are always reminding me that good grades doesn't equal your quality. Life isn't always about grade. Life is a process of learning and it's really human to fail :]

*looking up*
I think I always post such a long message..
Sorry for that.

Warm Regards, Yuki :D

I'm sorry but i just have to...... HA HA! You got a RROD Box! HA HA! PHAIL! XP XP XP

Really sorry, i just can't help but do that on every 360 owner :P

PC FTW!! (9+_+) emoticon

Also the PS3 xD

Meditation? o_O
Hmm.. i've always wondered... is it effective for real? Or is it just a delusional state of mind somewhat like ataraxia? That you create in order to relax?

I'm very happy to know that everything is all alright with Stella's aunt and all now! ^_____^

This means that she can play Pro Street with or against me now!! ( []-[])9 emoticon

With me would be better, cause you know, [brag mode]i am World Number 2 for the game[/brag mode] so it wouldn't be well advisable to be going against a super pro of a stature such as mine User posted image

XD

Cya soon mate,

For some reason when you use those emoticons, it's especially funny, hahah!
My Thanksgiving was in October, but my family doesn't celebrate anything so we have no stress lol. Stella sure is good at spoiling the cat, haha. It's getting pretty cold, and I really want something furry to pet and warm my hands with.

I'm procrastinating too much and am not doing that well in school. There's just so many other things I want to do other than studying accounting XO! For the most part, I just want to improve my art skills. Oh, and we were trying to sell our house for a couple months, and that didn't work so now we're just going to stop selling it for a while. The neighbors were probably so excited that my parents wouldn't be there screaming at each other outdoors anymore, haha. ==

Hope your work pile is near nothing now, lol.

Sapporo! Isn't thats where I can get the best rice wine?
Cool man, glad to see you are your family are getting on well.

I have been busy actually, I went back to University, I am now studying some 300 miles from my home, parents felt that I chose the wrong thing to get into, but they seem to believe if I can get smart enough (ie. expert) in the field, it doesn't matter if I do porns of it, I am still guaranteed relative success.

Oh well, I am doing my Masters in Hospitality and Tourism, talking about buildings, schematics, natural environment and development of safety systems and all that jazz, wow... you wonder why people get involved in consultancy.

The works involved here is ginourmous, I must say, my eyes hurt every now and then looking at boring building plans.
All in the name of working to live or vice versa I guess, glad to hear you are taking it easy, spare some of that happiness with me man!
