I had a hard time choosing which colors to use for his fur because they colored him differently from the anime. In the anime, Mugetsu's fur is a yellowish/greenish/brownish color while in the manga he is said to have silver fur! And then the markings on his face from the anime is supposed to be black but in the manga they're red... so... I decided to just combine 'em a little and that's what I came up with.

Okay, so yeah, I hadn't bothered to remove ANY of the screentones! But I hope it still looks okay *looks hopeful... This is the first time I hadn't used the Dodge and Burn tool... Hmm... My dad says that it doesn't look my usual work (but he says it looks nice XD), I wonder if that's why? Not enough shiny perhaps?

Suggestions anyone? I'd love to hear what you guys think!

I was too lazy to remove the screentones...so I didn't *laughs*. I think I could've made Sakura's clothes better but... uh... I like how Syaoran's hair turned out *grin*... But I hate not having to color the eyes they way I'm used to *pout*... Yep, that's it...

...ALSO! I like coloring this manga! *grin*

[Rant #59] Of Junjou Romantica ep. 6

Mon, 19 May 2008 06:49:52 GMT

"But I can tell you one thing - there's no one in this world I could ever love more than I love you."

As soon as Nowaki said those lines, my heart turned to mush. One day, I'd want somebody I love tell me this and mean it.

[Is a short post because I'm so unbelievably overwhelmed with the sweetness of those lines]

[Rant #57] Guess what?!

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 09:17:55 GMT

We've got classes tomorrow! [Sarcastic voice] Oh joy!

...If you're wondering why, it's because there weren't any classes for two days. And since we still got exams to finish, the school decided to continue tomorrow...which is a Saturday, by the way.

AND we've got to go wearing our uniforms! No mercy whatsoever!

But, now that I think about it, since we've got regular exam schedules tomorrow, then that means that our section's Youth Camp has been postponed.

Youth Camp is supposed to be "fun". But the only reason why I'm going is because it's a part of our clearance signing [which means that if you don't attend, you won't advance to the next level!]. The idea of spending a WHOLE SATURDAY in school, even if you're with classmates, doesn't appeal to me. NOT AT ALL.

Plus, our computer had some sort of bug in Drive C so my dad had to do a lot of tinkering and rebooted that certain Drive. Meaning he deleted all of the files there, which included my Adobe Photoshop!

And so... I can't color right now!

[Sarcastic voice] Isn't. That. Just. Great?

[Rant #56] Retreat

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 07:04:31 GMT

The whole class (plus three adopted students from other sections) went on our retreat two days ago...

We went to Angels' Hills in Tagaytay and we stayed there for two days and I can say I had a really wonderful time! As you might have expected, yes, there were tears. Everyone cried!

All of us were in the chapel and we were just praying and, a few seconds later, we started crying crocodile tears. My face was covered most of the time 'til we were out! Hehe...

About to Leave...

Going Home...

[LtoR] Kathryn(me), Joana, Paul

I don't know if this retreat of ours changed my life but it was certainly moving. Everybody was hugging each other when we safely returned to school. And even though some of us weren't close, it was clear that we supported one another.

One of the things I've learned during those two days:
I am certainly not alone

A Reminder to Myself:
God Loves Me

...and he certainly loves you too!

[Rant #55] Harry Potter and other things...

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:02:48 GMT

The seventh and last book of the series has been sitting here for three days now... My dad has read it... My mom has read it... I'm the only one who hasn't...

Usually there'd be a blood bath between me and my dad, both of us fighting for the first one to get to read the book. But now...I don't think I wanna read it just yet...for reasons unknown...

My dad CRIED for crying out loud and I DO wanna find out why...but not now...

Maybe in...two days? [shrugs]

Why the hell did I have to get stuck with you? Why did you even have to be here?

Did I do something extremely wrong to deserve this--to deserve somebody like you? Is it punishment sent from the guy upstairs? Because if that's what you are, punishment, then please! I've learned my lesson!

JUST GO AWAY!!!

[Rant #54] Fever...

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 12:35:36 GMT

We have a project in Physical Education where in we're supposed to take aerobic moves and turn it into a dance. Saying that me and my group members made the steps yesterday would've sounded simple. But it wasn't simple I'm telling 'ya!

Our meeting place was supposed to be at Waltermart 10:00 am sharp! But the person we needed the most, the one who was bringing the CD player came at 11:30! What the hell?! But then, she didn't bring the CD player! And then she explained to me that it was already at the place where we were supposed to practice [which was in a camp in Fort Bonifacio, Gate 3, by the way].

So we travel all the way from Waltermart to that place [via jeepney then tricycle] and when we got there, she tells me it's with a friend who "can't come at the moment because she's in school". So we needed to go practice at her place which was near Market Market!. But then, there weren't any tricycles so we needed to walk all the way back to the entrance of that camp [which was a long walk, I'm telling you!].

After finding a jeep that would take us to Market Market, we took a taxi from there [which, thankfully, took only a few minutes]. Finally, we were able to make the steps! We arrived at her place at about 1:30 pm [we ate Lunch when we got there] and stayed 'til 4:35 pm, dancing and dancing and just dancing!

Honestly, my body can't take all of that! And this was a Saturday, mind you! So, that night, I got a fever. And right now, as I'm typing this, I still have a fever. I don't know if I can go to school tomorrow...

But wait! Shouldn't there be no classes tomorrow 'coz there's SONA?

[Rant #53] Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 08:29:18 GMT

Let's see...What do I think about the new movie?

Honestly, I didn't feel any thrill when I was watching it, not even the battle scene between Dumbledore and Voldie excited me. I guess I was disappointed. I was so looking forward to the Dumbledore's Army scenes and the scene where the Weasley twins make a legend of themselves but it wasn't spectacular in my opinion. Plus I wanted more of Tonks... It didn't excite me and it's not because I read the book, that's totally not the reason. I don't know why but there was no...spark? None at all.

...Although I did cry when Harry finally realizes the things that were important and that he shouldn't be paying attention to his and Voldie's similarities but their differences.

And what the hell?! Sirius called Harry 'James'! [Poor Harry]

EDIT 10:58PM: What if Sirius really was in love with James?!

[Rant #51] Stop making it look like I'm the one at fault here!

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 13:25:34 GMT

Because it isn't my fault, okay? It isn't!

We have a schedule! We've been doing it since last year, do I need to spell out an invitation every time? It's every friggin' Friday, got that? I don't need to tell the other two--mainly because they invite themselves--but if they come so do you!

Yeah, you're not in the same class as me and Joana, but so is Via and she knows where we go every Friday! You haven't been hanging out with us since the start of the second week but don't get me wrong, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You've got other circle of friends after all, just like everyone else does and we don't want you to feel guilty about spending time with them. We don't own you, so do what you like.

So don't tell me that "I didn't know anything, you didn't tell me" crap because if you wanted to go or find out what we'd be doing for that day then you could've at least looked for us during our breaks. You're not telling me you want me to look for you, are you? Don't count on it, then. If you don't want to make an effort to stay friends with us then I'm not forcing you.

If you're still angry about forgetting about you unintentionally two Fridays ago then I'm sorry. But, really, why didn't you wait with us out on the hallway? We didn't even see you during dismissal time. You didn't look for us, either. You just waited for us to pick you up, didn't you? You're not a princess, got that? If you want to come with us next time then make sure to pick you ass up and actually look for us, okay?

Yeah, I wanted you to see this. I'm not picking a fight but it just so happens that our schedules are different and I can't find you anywhere during lunch break so I have to post this here for you to find it. So, yeah, that's it.

[Rant #50] Summer Vacation 2007

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 10:24:04 GMT

Let's get things straight first: My. Summer. Wasn't. Boring. It wasn't unproductive either. I was able to do a lot of things this summer--don't question me!

Okay, so I didn't go to S.E.P., SO WHAT? I didn't go last year--and the year before that--why go now? The last time I went was 4th grade (I think?) and let me tell you this: the experience wasn't overly spectacular. You say it's to get to know God and have a relationship with him. I say I do have a relationship with him and can't I get to know God during Sundays in church? You say it's to meet new people and to make new friends. I say I can meet new people and make new friends without attending S.E.P., thankyouverymuch. Besides, it's not like we talk after that.

It's my fault, you say? Well, I'm too lazy to keep in touch! Everybody knows that! Even when my closest friends send me messages via mobile I don't reply! What makes you think I'll bother to reply to messages sent by people I hardly know? And no, I don't want to attend Clayground either.

So don't bother next summer, okay? I'm. Not. Going.
