The Nyanko Chronicle Report 194:
These Two Lonely Shadows Will Ease Each Other's Painful Hearts...

Here's a drawing of me and Yuki, relating to the short poem/song that I wrote on Facebook nearly a week ago. The sketching and the coloring of the drawing was all done with my pen tablet and with the Corel Painter Essentials 4 program. By the way, I'm a newbie with the pen tablet and I need to make my drawings colorful. So please, go easy on me.

Lovely timing to do a drawing featuring myself, ne. *sighs* Honestly, it's not easy to draw myself and it took a lot of practice. Finally managed to pull it off, thanks to Kuro-sensei's encouragements of constant practice.

I know it's angsty and depressing, but it kinda inspired me about the downside of my life.
At least, there always will be someone to comfort one's painful heart...


 


"Lonely Shadows in the Rain"

There was once sunshine in my heart
Now there's gray skies which tore it apart
Standing alone, bearing all the pain
My tears being like droplets of rain

Trying to run away from this unbearable feeling
Not wanting to know me, one decided to stop believing

Endless dreams, hopes, and love
All now being pierced by one's sudden words
Breaking into fragments of crystals
Just like a painful strike of the sword

No harm was meant to be done in two lives
But now one's changed feelings became such lies
Crying hard as my heart thought to be once healed
For one to walk away and watch it again to become wounded

A lonely shadow in the rain, here I stand
Wanting to find the love, shouting with a demand
Another lonely shadow in the rain, there one comes
With true comfort and embrace, giving me hopes

Can a destined comfort give me the strength to survive?
Or will I watch myself lose my strength and will to live?

What's there to believe?
Who's out there to believe?

These lonely shadows in the rain
Standing in embrace to release the pain...

2008 - A Year In Review from the Chronicle Reporter...

This is special report is dedicated to all the tomodachi-tachi from the "Tomodachi" list. *bows*

The final day has arrived and once again, we all go back to the days that marked the important points throughout the year. Some had been for the good and others had been for the bad. Well, here I go on this final meme for the year 2008. YOSH!!

( 2008 - An Honorable Year In Review... ) 

Final Thoughts from the Chronicle Reporter...

Wow... what can I really say about this year, ne? After taking a good look back of all the things that happened, I must truly say that 2008 was definitely one of the best years of my life. Not just in my life, but in the lives of the many people who made it very special and very magical. There were great accomplishments and there were also great disappointments. The things we gain forever and the things we lost forever. These days of this year... we learned great lessons and we lived through all the challenges on the course of our lives.

It was special in many ways. It was historic in many ways. I took a great chance to achieve the most important goal of true happiness and able to make a difference that can bring happiness for everyone in this small world that we live in. Dreams became a reality. Promising goals became great rewards. This year was definitely something special and wonderful in my life, as if I wrote a great story and was able to share this splendid tale with my friends and family. And now, it is time for me to write the remaining final page for this 2008 book...

As each word that I write in my mind and in my heart is like the seconds that now is counting down towards its ending. However, the memories that I have created for this year will be as a great guide of what I can do to make the upcoming year to be filled with great accomplishments and happiness. In what way should I end the 2008 book and how should begin to write the 2009 book? Only the inevitable destiny of my life knows, but the history of building the 2009 memories will start now.

My friends, my family, and the world... thank you for making the many wishes of 2008 to become an endless and memorable reality. I'm forever grateful with all my heart for being there in my life as we shared the love, the laughter, and the eternal happiness.

I will greatly miss you, o' honorable 2008... for your year was kind, sweet, and very honorable. I truly thank you with all my heart for letting have a year full of complete happiness in my life. As for you, o' promising 2009... let us hope that you can let us do our very best in everyday to make the year filled with prosperity and with much greater happiness.

Have a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve celebration with your families and friends!! ^o^

Sa minna-sama, 2009 isshou ni ganbarimashou! YOSH!! *smiles*

"With all love and hope, always!"

"Swords of Orlandia" Is Not A Sequel to "The Chronicles of Narnia"...

This late con report is specially dedicated to Maggie-san (yamisakura38)!
I have promised that I would put it up in return for commentating on her first con report.

Wow, I was suppossed to post this several months ago when I went to the anime convention in mid-August. That's right, I went to Anime Festival Orlando 9 on Sunday and it was a lot of fun! It's my favorite con out of the three that I go in Orlando every year. AFO 9 was the 9th con overall that I went since my con-going career started out in 2004. Anyway, I was very fortunate that Tropical Storm Fay didn't arrive in Florida until the next day. I was supposed to go on Saturday since it's always the best day to go to a con if you're planning a one-day attendance. However, I had to push it to Sunday due to work - no complaints about that and my work is very important.

I don't have time to write a detail report since I'm very busy these days now, but maybe I'll give you a quick brief report of the event along with the picture posting. I'll do my very best to make this short report enjoyable for all of you to read, ne! *smiles* All right, let's go!!

Event: Anime Festival Orlando 9
Theme of the Event: "Swords of Orlandia II - Throne Into Chaos"
Place: Wyndham Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida
Date: Sunday, August 17th, 2008

( The Super-Duper Late Anime Festival Orlando 9 Con Commentary Report... )
Anyway, that's the con report from Anime Festival Orlando 9 back in August.
Can't wait for MegaCon 2009 in late February. It's just around the corner~
YOSH!! \o/
