YES ! A journal entry. i think i've been gone a long time .... i think. xD

anyways, our periodical exams are finished ! well, it just finished this friday, and yeah, i should've been more active then, but i'm really, really lazy !!! i still don't have a freaking scanner and i've got no good pencils to work with. and i'm looking for more inspiration~!! XD

so, in addition to my first manga who's characters i've only posted here, i've come up with a brand new idea that could be considered more patriotic. i mean, my first manga and the characters are all japanese and naturally, their culture is japanese. so yeah, i kinda thought it was time to focus more on how life goes here in the philippines, and just to share some of my experiences. yeah.

i've followed the japanese style of drawing since i first watched Magic Knight Rayearth and Cardcaptor Sakura so having japan as the central focus of my manga didn't bother me until the lack of japanese cultural knowledge hit me. so yeah, i guess it's pretty nice we have nihonggo lessons here, it could really help me a LOT, but it's quite a bum, really, because we've only got 2 or 4 decent meetings for the whole 1st quarter, O.O which brings me to remember our terrible nihonggo periodical test.

first of all, OUR CLASS wasn't taught japanese characters at all. okay, maybe the basics of katakana, like the a, e, i, o, u first, yeah, we copied that, two weeks before our periodical exams, yeah, and then a week after we didn't have nihonggo class for reasons unknown, and then poof, it's the periodical test ! woohoo. second, there was this other class the school picked that was supposed to welcome some japanese exchange students, and they were taught EVERYTHING. it's like they're in advanced classes and all that. and, third, the test we studied so hard for, thinking it was about japan's basic greetings and general information, was actually full of KATAKANA. and we don't even know how to write it. and we don't have the hand out for it. and though it was an "open hand-out" test, it was just so freaking hard ! I mean, there were like two 'tsu's or something, i mean, like they're the same but they're different in the way you write them, and 'n' looked a lot like another character it was confusing. yep, i beat we aced that test. truly aced it. TT.TT

weeeeell. yeah. that was supposed to be just some update ... we have a mastery test about photosynthesis and cellular respiration tomorrow, and my brain's dead from too much crazy information, and yeah. xDD

oh yeah, the tag, it's my favorite font right now. so yeah. xDDDD
