All right, so before anything else, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! :D Hope you managed to keep all your resolutions this year (I certainly didn't).
So now, the reason why this blog (and my facebook for that matter) has been dead for so long is after my self-banishment, we moved to our new house. And would you know it, it takes about a week for TMnet to transfer the Broadband to the new house.
Well, great. Just great.
And what was the reason to exile myself? I was entering a Wacom competition on deviantArt and decided to take time-off from the digital plane to work on my entries. No thanks to TMnet's outstanding performance, I missed the judging period. But it dosn't matter anyway. I didn't even make it into the semi-finals. Well, my Photoshop skills are still far from adequate.
So anyway, the past 2 months have been chaotic. Standing in either of the houses would give you the sense you were standing on the field of battle. Cartons and plastic bags were strewn everywhere, Wrong boxes were placed in the wrong rooms17 years' worth of rubbish was thrown out, my mom and I were slaving away to pack and unpack and what does my dad do?
"Hey, you forgot to pack this-and-that!" -puffs on ciggarette-
It ain't funny I tell you, it ain't funny.
Even worse, after everything was set up nice and proper, he starts stuffing HIS junk into, onto and under every available surface in the house (and that includes my room) regardless of how ugly it looks. You have no IDEA how much junk he can fit into our old apartment - it somehow was enough to fill up our new semi-D house (well, for the record, I have no idea either).
And not long after we moved in, we brought our new dog back home. :D
This was onw of the few things I managed to get my way (I sound so stuck up when I say that ^^; ). I got to choose his name and I named him Kiba (yeah, yeah, go ahead and call me whatever you want).
The only problem is - he barks. A lot. Even for a puppy. Worse still - he barks at night. The neighbours must hate us - then again, the nighbours have dogs too. Except theirs' don't bark at night.
Am still getting used to living in a landed property. I mean, you have to excuse me for this one - I've lived in an apartment my entire life. Now that I've moved, it's kinda of like that feeling you get when you experience culture shock. Lame comparision, I know.
And on the topic of Christmas, it just doesn't feel like Christmas to me this year. And for some unknown reason hidden deep in my subconciousness, that little fact really frustrates me. Maybe it's the absence of Jeanette's annual Christmas get-together/party. But she can't hold one this year as she's in the US of A visiting her sis even as I'm typing this.
Speaking of travelling, I'm following my mom to Korea this Sunday we'll on be coming back on midnight of January 23rd. Meaning I'll only get like a few hours of sleep then I'll have to haul my butt off to school and see you guys again. I think I'll just sleep in class. Hee, sleeping in class on my first day back xD
And also, sometime ago, my bro and sis came to visit. While my brother slaved away at the computer setup (sorry and thanks nii-san! ^^; ), my sis and I monopolized his Nintendo DS xD It was really fun - too bad I can't afford one. It'd take me 13 months of pocket money to save for that thing.
Maybe I could try my luck at Cash Converters. That is, if I can convince my mom to take me there.
