I Voted!

I haven't been updating for awhile so to start it again on a special occasion...it's the election day and I voted for the first time!  Also, I've lost thirty pounds over the summer.  Twenty more to go.

Tangy Choices

Recently I painted some signs for my friend, Jenny.  Her family had a booth at the 626 Night Market at Pasadena.  They were busy all day selling from 4pm to 11pm.  Many visitors came to take pictures of my sign and I had some business cards to give away too.

Old Travel Diary

Around August 2010 I went with my friend, Jenny, to go visit Taiwan and China for the first time for 2 weeks.  I started making a travel diary for the first 2 days but stopped after so many exploring and eating that I felt tired to sketch it out everyday.  Even if I just took the pictures and draw it out later, it wouldn't feel the same when drawing at the moment.  Henceforth my very short old travel diary.

On the top right was suppose to be a map from our flight US to China.

Justin with food

I haven't updated my blog lately.  Film work has me slowing down from doing more sketches, especially with food.  Here's a watercolor sketch of my friend, Justin, eating steak and rice at Pho 54.  The food is quite exaggerated.

Mid March

So the last three weeks I've been struggling with my film and portfolio schedule.  I eventually gave up on portfolio preparation for Portfolio day, where animation companies review your work at CalArts, due to health issues.   Health comes before work.  Luckily I still have a chance on applying for internships.  I'm learning to stay more calm and not get distressed and anxiety over my film work. 

The Food Diary 20

My food diary is now complete!  Four months of it.  I'll be starting a new one soon but now it's break time.  Watching and drawing what I eat wasn't the only thing that helped me lose 10 pounds but also my running from the "couch to 5k" schedule since two months ago.  I'll include my exercise on the next diary soon.

The Food Diary 14 + Exercise

Justin encouraged me to run based on a Reddit site called Couch to 5k, a nine-week running program that only demands about twenty minutes a day, three days a week.  We started last Saturday night in Almansor Park.  Thomas and Elenah then joined us on Sunday.  I'll be doing some myself on weekdays, which is difficult due to school time.

Nightclub Doodle

Here's a lil sketch I did last summer.  It was in a nightclub and I was lil bored.  People thought I was strange doodling in a dim place.

A small hangout at The Grove and a movie at my house for my 25th birthday was the best yet.
