My sister’s wedding is, a little less than, four months away. Crazy. I’m happy for her. Her fiance is a really sweet, funny, and nice guy. He stayed for a month at our house, while he was on vacation, in February. I have to make them a wedding video. I don’t have the time to! I don’t even have time to see my friends! But… I’ll make time, for my sister, even though she can be a bit mean to me sometimes! Maybe I’ll do it during my break in April. Good timing. My relatives –literally, all my aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces on my dad’s side — from the Philippines are visiting in May. My dad has a huge family. Time to stay at school 24/7. Don’t get me wrong, I really want to meet and see them again… but I have a feeling I’m going to be busy with school.

My birthday is next week! March 12. I’m turning 19. Hooray! I’m pretty excited about that. I’m going to go out for dinner with my close friends.

One of my close high school friends is coming to Vancouver for a week. She’s coming from Atlanta. I’m excited, really, I haven’t seen her or spoken to her in ages.

So I finally have my model sheet -I chose to do Elmyra from Tiny Toons. I’m kind of bummed I didn’t find a Lilo model sheet. The hands look somewhat tricky though. I was actually thinking of changing my character, but I think it’s too late for that. Way too late. So… I’m gonna stick through it. We can re-do our assignments, anyway. Maybe I’ll improve my character modeling skills by the end of the term.

Ugh. I have so many things due for school next week! It’s crazy! Let’s see, I have my 3D character, junkyard, proj/portfolio, and resume all due next week! I can’t wait for the break in April.

A few weeks ago, our 3D design teacher showed us a trailer of the new Dr. Seuss movie (Horton Hears a Who). I kinda wanna see it. I think it’s cute.

What else can I say? Hm… Oh. I think my lighting skills suck. Yeah, I definitely need a lot of work with that. I like texturing though, it’s cool. I like modeling too. I don’t really like character rigging though. It gets too blaaah for my liking, sometimes.
