And now I'm back. XD
What happened? Well, it all started back when I combined my internet and phone services from Earthlink. Ever since then, my internet has been CRAPTASTIC. I was never sure why. It would occasionally disconnect for no reason, and then come back on. It seems to me that every time my home phone would ring, my internet would crash and then come back again.

Anyhoo, we called Earthlink (cell phone, of course) and asked them to fix it. The guy they sent was absolutely terrible. He knew exactly the problem, but he wouldn't fix it because "I'm being paid very little to do that kind of thing." We told him we'd pay him, but he still refused to because, "I'm lazy."

Anyway, long story short, the alarm system interfered with it. Now everything is working. ^_^

At least I hope so.

I'll be uploading two more deviations (at the very least), so hang on tight.

Stolen from :iconsharpenedcrayon: XD
This is sort of just me answering it from this point. I did a 100 questions in the past, but now that I look at it, my god, I changed so much. For one thing, I don't consider myself a Republican or a Christian anymore. Eh well, on with the questions...
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Who is your favorite person?
Jeremy, my love. :heart:

2. What is your favorite flavor in general?
Chocolate. Who doesn't love chocolate? D:

3. How do you vent anger?
I tend to yell when I get very angry, followed closely by crying. I'm too sensitive... XD

4. If you had to get married now, who would you want to marry?
Jeremy! Who else?

5. Have you ever been asked for an autograph?
Nope. That's just silly.

6. Do you like traveling?
Not really. I hate packing my luggage and boarding the plane, but once I'm in the place, I tend to enjoy it. Until I have to take the plane back home and unpack my stuff. D:

7. New York or California?
California. We got everything (deserts, forests, beaches, etc.)

8. Have you ever been high?
Nope. Don't plan to either.

9. Have you ever prayed to Buddha?
Nah. I'm not Buddhist.

10. Who is the fattest person you know?
Oh I'm not going to say... xD

11. What's your favorite color?
I like red, blue, black, or brown. I really like earthy colors though.

12. What's your phone ringtone?
Whatever my cell phone came with. It sounds like a bad march...

13. What would be the worst way to die?
Burned to death or killed by someone I really trust. Or burned by someone I really trust. Either way. D:

14. What if you had three wishes - what would you wish for?
Hmm... I'm not too sure really. A lot of it is very personal...

15. Do you think you're attractive?
Above-average, at best. My boyfriend thinks otherwise. XD

16. Have you ever had a crush on the same sex?
Sure did.

17. Do you have a cell phone?
Yep. Pretty rare in this day and age to not have one.

18. Who is your enemy?
Oh that depends on the year... >D

19. Would you do drugs?
Nah. Not counting medicine, of course.

20. What is your heritage?
75% Chinese
12.5% Filipina
12.5% Spaniard

21. Who can you tell anything to?
My boyfriend. I'm really comfortable with telling him anything.

22. Who is your favorite celebrity?
Eh, nobody really.

23. What is your favorite female name?
I like the name Anastasia, strangely.

24. Do you believe in God?
A higher entity, sure, but not so much the one depicted in the Bible.

25. What do you think of reality TV?
Some reality TV series are hilarious, but sometimes dear god they're pathetic.

26. What's your favorite song?
Oh god I have too many...
I really like "Hey Jude" by the Beatles.

27. Math or science?
MATH! D:<

28. Touch or be touched?
Hmm... tough decision really.

29. Would you die for your friends?
Depends. I'd try to save them if I can, but I'm a coward. Sort of.

30. Lace or satin?
Satin feels so much better than lace. But lace looks nice. :3

31. What does the world need more of?
Love.

32. What would be the best way to die?
Falling to sleep, and not waking up. By old age, of course.

33. Do you believe the Bible?
Not really. I believe that some parts did happen, like... Jesus being born, but it's hard for me to believe that the whole earth flooded or the first woman was made from the rib of a man.

34. You or your love?
I don't really get the question, but I'd choose Jeremy over myself anytime.

35. What is your biggest weakness?
I'm a sucker for really cheesy stuff.

36. What is your dream job?
An animator at Disney or drawing my own comics.

37. What's your favorite movie?
Ooh... tough one. I gotta say "V for Vendetta" though.

38. What is your favorite name?
Jeremy! ^o^

39. Have you ever met a celebrity?
Nah. Don't plan to either.

40. Do animals go to Heaven?
All dogs go to heaven~

41. Have you ever been asked out?
On a date? Yeah of course. o_o;
-------------------------
By the by, I finished the series "Absolute Boyfriend" on manga. VERY sad ending. I'm starting "Beauty Pop" now. XD I'm very surprised with how much shoujo stuff I'm reading...
Anyone got a manga recommendation?

Okay I have to get to working on my homework/projects/studying/etc. Environmental Science is a depressing subject. D: And I actually have Art Homework?!

If you live in the L.A. area, I HIGHLY recommend going to LACMA to see the Dali exhibit. "The Persistence of Memory" (famous painting of lots of melting clocks) is actually much smaller than expected...

I have a personal goal this year (yeah, I finally decided on one). I want to start drawing full bodies instead of headshots/mugshots all the time. I hope by the end of the year, I can draw action scenes. If I'm going to CalArts, I BETTER have a good portfolio! D:

Almost hitting 10k soon. Huzzah. XD

I won't be on deviantArt or Gaia Online as much because of finals. I'll be on AIM everyday though, just in case.

Anyway, in some way or another it really does suck to be a moderator. Not so much in the How to Draw Manga Guild, since it's more controllable, organized, and every mod has the ability to ban people. However, on the M.O.B. (Mangatutorials Oekaki Board) it is extremely frustrating. First of all, the main administrator is not online all the time. I know, we understand people have their own lives to attend to, but the problem is that many a-times I need the powers of an admin to work out a problem. The most I can do is just "warn" people or temporary suspend them.

Not counting the forum. Dear god.

I also am not very happy with a particular member. Not giving any names to harm the innocent person, but I just don't like it when someone makes a big deal about me not unsuspending her for "a year" when she's only been a member since September 2007. Right. Contacting the admin instead of me, the person who banned her, and telling specifically not to forward the message was another problem.

On a side note, I was pleasantly surprised that my humble thread on Gaia Online was posted on a certain ED article. I've abandoned that thread weeks ago, but it still keeps-a comin' back. Why abandon it? Eh, same response over and over. A whole lot of "do onto others and you would do onto yourself" stuff too. People keep saying not to take the internet so seriously, but SO many of them are taking the whole thread seriously, like it's some kinda threat. Irony.

I wonder when the Gaia mods will finally have enough of it and lock it. @w@

...and some ten years ago nobody would have guessed the Internet would be a drama machine. =D

Apparently if you log in, in any account, you can't see my comments. But if you just log out for a moment and look through the comments on her front page, you'll see it. @w@

I just answered someone's fanart comment on why she doesn't like to answer people's questions or comments. She doesn't like her fans because she wants MOAR. MOAR worshippers, MOAR virgin sacrifices to keep her 14-year old status!

Y DUZ SHE H8 ME @w@
I LIEK HER PRETTEH ARTZ @w@
@w@ SHE IS LIEK GOD @w@
HOWS COLLEGE @w@ :heart: :heart:

Well, that's one truth Encyclopedia Dramatica presents. Amuria bans people that are against her.

Anyway, that was the best lulz-fest I have had. ^_^ Time to tell :iconmirielle-:

FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

At my highschool, there are about 14-15 large murals around campus that are just begging to be painted on. Well, not really, but 6 are selected to be re-painted by the class at Art Honors. Guess what? I'm in Art Honors.

My Group:
:iconruby-wings: :iconkupocake: (Other Friend who doesn't have a deviantArt)

There are several other teams competing against us, cross your fingers and hope we win!
I'll tell you what we'll be doing once we are chosen (hopefully). The idea belongs to Ruby-Wings, and I've been practicing (sort of) to get her painting style down so that our artwork looks consistent.

Don't worry, I'm doing the darker end of the mural where things get strange and weird and something Ruby-Wings probably won't be seen doing. Hahahah XD

On top of that, :iconruby-wings: :iconkupocake: are also working on a second mural at a nearby Elementary School. We have no idea how that's going to work, but we got the position, so there isn't any competing for that one. If you have any ideas for a large mural, please say so!

Anyway, because of all this mural work, I barely have enough time to do any real artwork around the computer.
However, I am making a lineart based on a drawing by :iconryouga-hibiki:
If all goes well this week, I should be able to finish it by Friday. Maybe I can color it too? I hope he likes it. ^^ ;;

I do have a few random doodles from Math Analysis, just in case you guys want to see it. They're... kind of different for a doodle, since I actually was trying to make it look good. It's a semi-realistic Ink/Jonathan, in case anyone is interested. o_o

All right, that wraps up what I'm going through. Being a Junior in a highschool full of Asians? Tough!

I'm breaking the TAG chain, but I'm still just writing down the 8 random facts. Kupocake does not approve of chain mail. >_> Anyway, tagged by :iconsharpenedcrayon:

Fact One: I have an obsession with Nazi/SS-Waffen Uniforms. No, I do not approve of what Nazis do or what they stood for, but I find their uniforms so incredibly sexy.

Fact Two: I actually admire comic book art more than manga art. It takes skill to get super-muscular anatomy while still making it look human, unlike stuff like Dragon Ball Z. XD

Fact Three: I have two pets: Daisy the terrier-mix and Cloud the Cockatiel. Daisy sometimes tries to talk like a person, but it just sounds like a bunch of yawns to me. Cloud can sing the Final Fantasy victory fanfare, sometimes. Most of the time, it's a mixture of the victory fanfare and the melody of Yankee Doodle.

Fact Four: Neopets is starting to look more appealing than Gaia Online to me...

Fact Five: Everyone tells me I'm a great actor. I'm not sure if I am, but I can voice act fairly well.

Fact Six: My dream career? Become an animator at Disney or Pixar. I'm working on it, but true animating (not something like... make an anime eye blink. That's too easy) is pretty difficult.

Fact Seven: I'm Chinese-Filipina. I cannot speak Mandarin, Cantonese, or Tagalog. What can I speak? English and Spanish.

Fact Eight: I've been tagged twice before this. So. HAH.

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. What? You want to know a random fact about "Oh I'm taken :p" and "Belongs to someone I love~?" Too bad. ^_^

Holy cow, I think I've read the worst possible manga ever~! No, it isn't Kamichama Karin (*gets shot by Kaytseki*). It's called "Cross" by Sumiko Amakawa, published by Tokyopop.

I really tried to like it. Really. However, there are so many things wrong with this manga, I can't even describe how bad it is. The pacing, first of all, is quite bad. I could barely even swallow two pages of it. Art? Although Shoujo isn't exactly my cup of tea, this is just plain terrible. The only thing nice and flowy is the hair, and even that can't save the artwork of this manga. Everything is way overdone, way over the top, it's WAY TOO TYPICAL SHOUJO. And god, those eyes... horrible! The storyline isn't anything worth mentioning either. If you've read or watched Yu Yu Hakusho, you probably got the ghist of this story already, without any of the charm of YYH.

Now on to the part that really pushed my buttons. Granted, I am not really a Christian. I go to church, but that's to make my mom happy. Even still, some basic knowledge about Christianity, even from an atheist point-of-view, can already see the many flaws presented in this manga.

The main character is a Catholic priest. Okay, that's fine and dandy. His father is a Catholic priest.

Wait... what?! CATHOLIC PRIESTS CAN'T HAVE BABIEZ. *inserts joke about Catholic priests and their sexual frustrations aimed towards little boys*

Going further with Catholicism, there is one point where the character Cross does the whole cross finger motion (forehead, collarbone, left shoulder, right shoulder). Except, it was backwards. "Oh, but kupocake! It's supposed to be flashy and stuff, because he can pull a cross out of his forehead and crap!" That still doesn't excuse factual mistakes!

There's a crap load more, but I don't even want to touch that manga anymore. I give it ONE OUT OF FIVE

So, care to rant about YOUR LEAST FAVORITE MANGA?

Dang, I reached 7k already?! AMAZING!
Thank you everyone who visited, watched, faved, or generally commented on my dA stuff. You made this possible! Rock, rock on!

So I bet you're all itching to know what I'm going to do next. Eh?
This is what I plan to do...

1. Update my webcomic. My page is half-way inked, so it SHOULD be done by either today or tomorrow, considering I'm on Spring Break.
2. Update my webcomic before AGAIN before Spring Break is over. I get two days to myself, so I shouldn't have any excuses.
3. Make a new profile picture. That drawing style is outdated for me; I need something more contemporary.
4. Make a new TUTORIAL. Something that everyone needs. Suggestions, anyone?
5. Update my webcomic again before the end of April?
6. DRAW MORE FOR DA!

I'll start off with a big ol' doodledump. You won't believe how much crap I draw in the middle of class...

Once again, THANKS EVERYONE!
As a special treat, YOU MAY ASK ME ANY QUESTION AS LONG AS YOU COMMENT ON THIS JOURNAL. If it gets too personal, I'll answer it vaguely. :D

Page 3 of the webcomic has been uploaded. FINALLY. YEAH. STOP COMPLAINING.

In the meantime, my internet is going crazy. Some days it works. Some days it doesn't. I have noticed that this downtime occurs around the evening (5 - 6 pm PST, all the way to 12 am PST). Unfortunately, that's when my personal computer time starts, since I share this computer with my sister. So, I may not be able to look at anything during this time.

I guess I can use this time for homework. Or my webcomic pages.

Oh. And The Hot Zone freaks me out.
Later.

89) A material weakness?: Money and good art.

90) The weirdest food or drink that you like: Shark Fin's Soup is weird to some people, but to Asians, it's pretty normal. I do like Puto: purple yam desserts.

91) At the top of your "to-do list"?: Finish Lord of the Flies.

92) The hardest thing about growing up: Realizing that you're no longer young anymore, and you're bound to die someday.

93) A pet peeve?: Noticeably bad grammar (fragments and parodies don't count) and snobs.

94) Your scariest moment: Walking into the girl's restroom in the South Gym for the first time. I swear I felt like a pair of eyes were watching me the whole damn time.

95) Your attitude about love?: It's uncomprehendable, but movie directors think they know everything about it.

96) The funniest or most desperate thing you've done to get the attention of the opposite sex?: Honestly, I never tried that.

97) The worst feeling in the world: Loneliness in the midst of so-called friends.

99) Who sent this to you?: Stole it from :iconrebeccaprop:.

100) 6 people you tag: I tag all who comes to my journal. Hahaha!

Merry Christmas everyone.
Saying "Happy Holidays" is pretty much the same. Holiday = holy + day = derived from Catholic terms = Day Jesus was born. LOLZ U LOSE.

Quote from Himo .The .Fire .Prince (Gaia Online member)
"they should be proud that their art is being used for merchendise...so what, everyone takes art thats off the internet anyway"
[from [link] (2nd Page)]

What...the...fuck...

This is probably the most absurd statement I've seen so far on art theft. As an artist, deviantARTIST, and general art appreciative, I'm astounded by how cruel the general public can be about art. We work our asses off to produce the art we do, and I can't believe there are people out there with the guts to say "everyone takes art off the internet anyway."

"Oh look, that person has good art. Let's steal it and make money off it without the artist's permission, like the real jackasses we are!" How can we be proud if someone is taking away our credibility as an artist? Regardless of whether you're materialistic or not (wanting money out of your art or not), I think I can safely say that nobody here would want to find someone on CafePress, Ebay, etc. selling YOUR art that YOU worked hard on without YOUR knowing.

Am I pissed? Hell yeah.

Discuss...
- Art Theft, your general view on it
- This person's comment on stealing art
- Art Thieves, to appreciate or to file a lawsuit?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you realized I haven't been submitting any art lately. Of course, AP Biology is part of the problem, but it's mostly because most of the art I've been doing lately is for the Advanced Drawing and Painting class. So far, I've done two projects, the first one I'm not so proud of because I'm pretty bad at realism, and the second project I cannot release to the public due to rules.

Oh, what rules? Coca-Cola Contest. Yarr... It's pretty awesome, the prize anyway. If I win the contest, my art will be posted on the official Coca-Cola Contest (like that'll happen) along with scholarship for $10,000! If I don't win, I can put up the art for you on deviantART, here in my gallery. Thank God I did it on Photoshop instead of traditional mediums, like most people in my class.

The last piece of art I did on request of the Journalism Staff on campus. They actually liked a comic that came from dA, but due to copyright laws, they can't put it in their newspaper unless another person re-draws it in a different style (a.k.a., no tracing). So that's what I did. I have something against posting comic strips that basically copy a joke from someone else, and I just did it on behalf of my friend.

Oh, and I've been VERY unable to work on my webcomic. There's just too much to do these days. D: I'm busy, busy, busy!

If you REALLY want to see the horrible mess I did, I'll post up the comic I did for the school newspaper, but that's only if someone requests it. If nobody wants to see it, I'm not putting it up.

So... my life as of current sucks. School is becoming challenging for me (actually, it's just one particular class that's making me angry, the rest are okay) plus it's keeping me from drawing anything at all. The only time I CAN draw is in Advanced Drawing and Painting, and I feel so supressed there.

Here's my opinion on each class.

English - Fairly simple. The teacher is nice, but I don't give a damn for anybody in that class. They probably don't give a damn for me either.

Adv. Drawing and Painting - My art block has given the art teacher a bad impression about me. Of course you know I'm a decent artist, but because I haven't practiced drawing for, oh I don't know, TWO WEEKS, my skills in drawing have been messed up. So when I was assigned a project to draw a friggin' object in realism, I decided to go surreal (since I hate realism) and my teacher decides to criticize me for that. Hopefully the next project will go better.

Fit For Life (Odd P.E. class) - This class made my legs sore. I swear.

Spanish 2 - Me gusta mi profesora, pero, no quiero español. Jajaja.

AP Biology - I am truly boned. This is the one class that's making my life completely miserable as of current. Here I am, surrounded by students who are 10x nerdier then I am and know all the answers to every single question handed to them... in an AP class. The teacher is funny, but I'm just having difficulty in this class. Seriously, I should've taken Chemistry before going in this class. God, I'm so confused...

Algebra 2 - Since AP Bio is just before this class, it truly destroys my line-of-thought. If the arrangement were different, like I got Algebra 2 before AP Biology in my schedule, then I wouldn't SUCK so bad. I'm usually a good math person. Truly. I'm exaggerating on the "suck" by the way.

-----------------------------
More reasons why life sucks: my dog chewed up the wires connecting the PS2 to the TV. I mean, REALLY chewed. Like, the cord is snapped in half-chewed. So I can't play any PS2.

I'll be releasing the scores for the Oekaki Contest soon. A big thanks for people joining in! I apologize for the slight delay, as you can see above, I'm quite busy and frustrated with myself.

If you didn't get the news, Steve Irwin, the creator and host of shows on Animal Planet such as the Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a sting ray while filming a documentary on September 4, 2006. Here's some further information: [link]

What will Animal Planet be without him? Sure, I liked to make fun of him and his unmissable "KROINKEY!," but he had the biggest heart for his family and the animals. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sad about this. Rest in Peace, crocodile hunter, rest in peace.

In other news, I'm starting school tomorrow. Wish me luck.

That's right, you can read my webcomic A Love for Life now. It may only consist of the cover (Stuck for Ideas) and one page, but hey, it's a start. A first where I didn't really procrastinate! Yush! I pat myself on the back! I give myself a cookie! I make myself a steaming hot cup of coffee! Read it here :heart: [link] . :heart:

Speaking of my webcomic, in a few weeks (hopefully) I'll be making a contest over at the MOB Oekaki Boards. The prizes? Your ORIGINAL CHARACTER will play a role in the webcomic, depending on your placing. That's right! I'm giving everyone a chance to make your original character a superstar (or a B-Movie star. Idk. XD). What's the contest? Well... that's a secret. Bwahaha. If you're still interested, join the MOB Oekaki Boards today and get practicing! :star: [link] :star:

I'll try to make another comic page soon, so hang tight. Thank you everyone for your support! Especially RedSparrow... who doesn't have a dA account >.> He's been the most supportive in this. Yeah yeah, I'll draw faster.

Oh, and if anyone is interested on what I did in Alaska, just put it this way. I loved it. Although, I'll miss the virgin Pina Colada on board. ;_;

Kupocake will be gone for one week from pretty much all internet access. Where I'll be at probably has internet connection, but who wants to pay $10 a minute? o_O

I'll be gone on a cruise in Alaska. Woo-hoo! I want to see glaciers! And whales! And the Northern Lights! And glaciers! And.. eh, there's not much to see is there? It's going to be cold, that's for sure! Screw you California weather! :mwahaha:

There's one thing I really like about cruises. It's the food. Yes. I'll probably end up fat, but who cares.

Over the cruise ship, I'll be drawing and reading (ever heard of the book Twilight with some vampire called Edward? Yeah. That book. I'll be reading it). So, you can probably expect some art by the time I come back.

Kupocake, signing off!

On the side note, I'd like to invite everyone to try this challenge. Who knows, maybe it'll break an artist block or keep you from going insane from boredom. ^^;

Why all the Oekaki drawings recently, you ask? To put simply...

My comp went stupid on me. In order for it to work again, my brother had to delete everything, which includes my mp3s, my saved .psds, Photoshop, MicrosoftWord, and all that jazz. I lost my Photoshop disc, so I'll just have to get one from a friend.

Great, how am I supposed to do my homework now? X____X

I'll be going to the Oekaki Board on mangatutorials.com, in case you'd like to join me. I'm not going to re-install Photoshop or any further programs until I get the new computer my mom promised me. Oy, I'm really sacrificing my chance at a WACOM tablet for this...

Remember in my "Kupocake's List of Links for the Bored?" I had a link to a site called Facade, a site where you can have your fortune told for free. Now, I know a lot of you will just say they're just random generated, but then explain to me why this site is just so damn deadly accurate for me?!

I usually just do tarot readings at the site (me likey Tarot Cards). For some reason, I always have this one card that says something like "Friendship or Romance will be appearing in the future." In the past, when I got that card, I did become friends with somebody. She's cool and all, but this time I got another "Friendship or Romance will be appearing in the future."

Wanting to make sure which one it was talking about, I went to Stithomancy.

In Stithomancy, you ask it a question, and it'll pull out a random passage from a random book that will supposedly answer your question.

I asked first "Is a friendship coming up?" It gives me a passage about this boy who killed a pretty birdie.

Obviously, that didn't answer my question. Even if I tried to translate it, it's not doing much.

So I went on and asked "Is a new romance coming up?"

That's when things got creepy. It gave me a description of a man. To put simply, it's a thirty-two year old man with a stoic face and sleeked back hair.

I stared in disbelief. I persisted, and asked "What is the personality of this guy?"

Things got weirder. It gave me a description of Dracula. Remember, Dracula himself has sleeked back hair. I personally found that creepy.

I went on. "How do we meet then?"
It gave me a passage about this murderer who stalks his victims, from a book called The Pool of Blood in the Pastor's Study

I asked again. "When am I going to meet this guy?"
It gave me a passage about the forces of magnetism (hooray. Science), but the last two sentences creeped me out BIG TIME. It said "It doesn't matter when. It'll happen."

................
You can see why I'm in disbelief right now.
