Hi .__.  
Long time no see, I've been an awful person to my watchers and DA friends, I know.  Life has totally taken me by the reins and refuses to let go.  But the thing is, I'm more than determined to ride this through =)

Just a quick recap: it's been a rough year.  Remember how I used to say how school's hectic before?  Well this past year it was hectic x100.  Personal life hasn't been too lively either.  I had two grandparents pass away one month apart, and just when things seemed to calm down, we got more bad news about my aunt. I'll just keep it at that.   

Suffice to say that my artistic drive and craze for all things Bleach-related were sapped.  You guys don't know how many times I tried to make some art; I would try to make something not only so I can upload a deviation here but also to take my mind off things. But yeah, all my efforts so far only ended up in frustration.  

Once more, I'm soo soo sorry!  Especially to the people who added me to their watchlist these past few months, I'm sorry to disappoint you guys.  Please feel free to take me off your watchlist, because I really don't think I'm going to upload anything anytime soon, or anything  Bleach-related =

Just a little explanation...





The reason for my inactivity this time:  I'm in the Philippines right now, and as the title says, am currently having the time of my life~
:iconohjoyplz:

I wanted to thank everyone who has been commenting/faving/adding me to their devwatch's despite my inactivity.  I assure you, I'm usually a lot more active than this ^^;  I'm hoping that once I get back to the States I'll get the chance to respond to all you guys and upload some more art.  I feel bad not being able to reply, because I myself was never a big fan of deviants who didn't take the time to get in touch with their watchers.  

I hope that all my friends and watchers are having a wonderful summer~ :3
If you get the chance, let me know what's going on in your lives ^^

And on a completely random note, I managed to not get the swine flu on my way here. And without the aid of a mask >:3 Wearing those things make me so dizzy, I'd rather take the risk of getting the flu than wear them for 15+ hours.

Just a little explanation...





I’m not dead >.>


Some people may have noticed my lack of activity.  Nothing dramatic happened, just the usual schoolwork demanding pretty much all of my time.  This past week was particularly brutal and it’s not even finals yet :( Some of my friends only had three hours of sleep for these past three days. No exaggeration.  

This weekend will be the first reprieve I’ve had since Spring Break so I’m hoping to get the Bleach comic out.  I’m afraid it’ll only be black and white for now though… but better than nothing right?  Err...I hope LOL ^^;

I hope you guys are doing well.  As of now, I have 150 deviations and 620 messages to plough through.  I’ve missed you guys =(  It’s tough being antisocial both online and irl


Question Tiem!
I can't believe I missed April Fool's day at dA again!  What was the joke this time? Any funny April Fool's stories, whether offline or in real life?

One Year on DA

6 min read



:icontardgrinn:





I can't believe it's already been a year, although I only started being active around three months after I joined :bucktooth:

Since then I think I've found my niche in making Bleach fanart and I hope to find a place making some of my own original anime artwork soon too ^^

I'm very thankful for all the friends that I've met on this site.  Honestly, I feel more close to you guys than some of my friends in real life ;P  Seriously, thanks for your friendship and your support :cuddle:  

Thank you too to the rest of my lurking watchers :eyes: I'm sorry I haven't been so active lately, but I am currently working on a new Bleach comic.  Hopefully you guys will like it.  It has some mature themes, a bit more mature than the ones you've seen so far, but if you've been following me for awhile that shouldn't be big news to you :lmao:

I hope to be uploading some stuff soon, thanks for sticking around with me~ :blowkiss:


Now a question for all of you... (I've seen other people do this and I think I'll start doing this from now on too)
What is the scariest thing that you've seen/has happened to you?</b>
For me, it's listening to my dad sing like a woman... and actually sounding good .__.

It's official. I'm no longer a teenager! :cries:

Bah, how time flies =3=   

EDIT:</i> I just wanted to stop by and thank everyone for the birthday wishes, you guys are awesome :love:

And I also wanted to thank :iconotaku-drea: For her birthday gift too~
My Inner world by otaku-drea

and :icondark-skater-girl:'s
:thumb111918023:

All this love :heart: :heart:
:iconiluplz:

Take care you guys!
/EDIT

I actually got to celebrate my birthday early, and it was fantastic! My friend, Rebecca wire-walker , held a surprise birthday party for me over at her dorm.  And if that wasn’t enough, she kidnapped me the next day and took me to a sushi buffet.  I feel truly blessed :happycry:  

And sweet Chris, :iconchrisdayo:, painted me a lovely birthday pic! Nel~~!!!
Simply Nel by ChrisDayo
Thanks so much again!!!! ;w;  :iconglompage:

I really miss all of you guys.  I can’t wait till summer break when I can spend more time online!  How are all of you?  

Oh, and before I forget, I promised :icondark-skater-girl: >w<
Eight more random Tru Fax about Mai~

:bulletwhite: I tend to dislike seafood.  If I eat fish, it has to be baked and dry, no broths please ^^  I only eat small shrimp and I don’t eat squid, crab, or lobsters at all.  I do love seaweed though =D

:bulletwhite: I absolutely LOVE earrings.  It’s one of the few things I let myself indulge in.  I have a huge collection back in my dorm.

:bulletwhite: As opposed to what I think is the norm, I’m actually more confrontational in real life.  I dunno, I just feel weird arguing with someone online.  

:bulletwhite: I laugh when I accidentally hurt myself >.>   Not because I’m masochistic or anything; I think it’s more of a nervous laughter type of reaction.

:bulletwhite: I love birds of any size, shape, or color.  If it were legal, I’d leash one of the hundreds of Canadian geese that overpopulate my college and take it home with me :ninja:

:bulletwhite: I’m still 17 at heart.  I don’t care what my birthday certificate says :bucktooth:  

:bulletwhite:  I sometimes wonder what my future-husband is doing right now.  :shrug:  Prolly picking his nose or something :XD:  I’m weird, aren’t I?

:bulletwhite: The only TV shows I watch are House, SNL, occasionally MadTV, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.  My primary channel is CNN though, when those shows aren’t on ^^
