[Shopping Tag] Another visit to Innisfree

Hello everyone!


Due to the horrible weather changes and constant health issues, the skin on my face has started to get really oily. I don't really use cosmetics due to my sensitive skin, but my cheeks have started reacting by turning red after I wash my face and really itchy too.
I tried a bunch of face wash and regular rose water as toners but none of them seemed to be helping at all!
Besides, I recently saved up quite a lot and even sold two of my K-pop albums so I decided to pay this emergency visit to Innisfree. 

Also, this time Innisfree was currently running the Eco-Handkerchief campaign at the store too. This campaign is to promote the usage of a handkerchief over tissues to save trees. I had previously worked on a college project for the same.
As I walked into the store, I saw this beautiful picture of SF9's Rowoon put up.

Credits to myself HAHA!
He is so good-looking though.
For those of you who don't know.
(SF9 is A k-pop group debuted in October 2016 and Rowoon is one of their members who is the model for this campaign. I will shamelessly promote them here and ask you to go and check out their music and knife-like choreography)


Coming back to the subject of the topic!!
I was particularly looking forward to buying the Jeju volcanic clay mask, but I was recommended to buy a product from the same range that served a similar purpose; cleansing my skin well.

Anyway, here is a picture of what I purchased today.

I hope this picture is clear enough! Here's all the stuff I got.

I was recommended to use the Jeju volcanic pore cleansing foam as it cleanses the pores by absorbing the sebum. 
This product has contents of Volcanic scoria which is ingredient formed from lava as it cools after a volcanic eruption. 

 I actually tried this product as soon as I went back home and it did wonders. It was quite effective and refreshing than the other face wash I've used in the past and it left my skin dry after I washed it. My skin hasn't been feeling itchy in the past hour at all!
This came for around 650INR which is quiiiite cheaper than I expected.

I'm not sure if this is clear

Second product I chose was the toner from the Green Tea line. Now rises the question WHY?
Why did I choose Green Tea Fresh Toner instead of the Jeju Volcanic pore tightening toner??
I honestly didn't have that on my mind and I picked this product because it is effective for oily skin.
HAHA.
This product was for 1100INR (more expensive than the other stuff I bought)
I do not know why I took a picture of this upside down
I am a huge fan of the Green Tea line products and I really like the smell of this toner. It is very very refreshing both on the skin and the smell. I usually have red patches on my skin after using some astringents / Toners but this one was nice to me (the previous one I used was also nice to me).

Switching to the next product I bought. I was going to get the water fit cushion (foundation), but i don't trust make-up on my skin at all. So I opted for the No Sebum Mineral Powder.
I normally used light fragrance powders because I am allergic to strong fragrance powders. (i sneeze constantly), but I thought i'd give this a try.
Due to excessive sweating, I don't wear powder very often.
This product was for 540INR and It's pretty small in size.


Also, I wanted to share a picture from the Innisfree official website , showing how the powder can be used for different purposes
This is  quite interesting and well explained here in this picture. 

I still haven't used this product, but will try using it like this!!!

Credits to their official site.
Here are more pictures of the product. The cushion is very soft and fluffy, and I just pray that it doesn't wear out too quickly. (I can buy replacements for it though)
I did actually try a bit of it on my hand in the store and it didn't really smell strong. Most powders leaves a smooth texture on your skin and I kind of like it. (strange preferences, i tell ya)



This Vita C face mask was a last minute purchase and I am not going to use it soon, so I am not reviewing it! This was for 150INR




After purchasing these three products, I received two samples of the Volcanic Pore Clay Mask and the Green Tea Seed Serum and Lotion.


I also picked two eco handkerchiefs! The packaging for the handkerchiefs is very cute~
And the designs are also very cute!
I wonder how and where I am going to use the handkerchief~




these are really pretty1



Lastly, I will be my shameless fangirl self and ask you all to watch this video of the innisfree Eco-Handkerchief Campaign 2017 with Rowoon in it!  It also features the three designs for this year!

[Shopping Tag] Aliexpress Stationery Haul



Hello Everyone!!!

I am back with another shopping tag which is not skin care or hair care but stationery!

A few weeks ago, I was browsing stuff on Aliexpress like I always do.. and I landed up spending around $18 on 7 items there. (No Regrets)
I recently received all of those items, so I thought of reviewing each one of them here.

Firstly, have a look at the stuff !

I had taken this picture when the last two of the 7 items had not reached me so pls ignore.


Here's a picture of 5 out of those 7 items again.


A lot of them look a LOT like Korean stationery and a few items are actually made in Korea.
I've always been a fan of Korean and Japanese Stationery because they are VERY cute and they have a lot of animal-related stuff and those things are my weaknesses in life (LOL)

So I shall start reviewing the items shared here one by one now.




Mini-Note

This came in a set of 4. Considering how much I impulse-buy notebooks and diaries, these were a good choice. (I was slightly disappointed as the notebooks were pocket-sized)

I got these for barely 0.60$ (40INR) and these were surprisingly unruled and tinier in real life
The covers are cute and are in pretty colours as well, the paper quality doesn't seem bad at al!



STICKERS

Cats~
I love cats! need I say anymore???
These stickers are meant for diaries/notes/letters but are just plain ordinary cute cat stickers!
They're all good quality and I got them for $1 (let's say around 70INR)



My little friend - Pony BrownThis adorable character has a couple of different sayings / daily life phrases on every sticker which can be a good motivation source.
I got these also for $1 (around 70INR)







Planner/ Organiser Note


I got two of them, one of them has the same character that the "My little friend" stickers have~
And it's adorable! It is also in my favourite colour , pastel green.
I bought this one for around $5.42 (350INR sliiightly expensive ) as this was branded and original.

This is what the actual thing looks like from the front
Here's a crappy low quality photo of the front and the back. Sorry about that.



This planner slightly smaller than the A5 size and it's quite easy to carry too!
It has different sections for Monthly checkpoints , Yearly plan columns and Monthly Plans / Weekly Plans.

One good thing about this diary is that it DOES NOT have specified months and dates.
It Just mentions months and days (number of days being default every month) which could have been if it were on separate pages! However, it's in small rows with every week just taking up double page worth space.

I am not sure how clear this is, but here's a sample of the page for Weekly Plan
It also has cute illustrations of the character previously mentioned throughout the diary on different pages. 
If you all would ever want to buy this stuff, I'd totally recommend it!


I bought the two planner diaries for nearly the same price. The second one is called 365 diary, which is slightly bigger than the PonyBrown one and is hardbound. (obviously I chose the green colour)
This one is quite simple looking with random food item illustrations on and inside it. (kind of cute)
This one was also around the same price as the previous one. Although the page quality and the binding of the book is very neat, this is quite cheaper than expected.

It looks really simple and formal from the outside.

This one is actually quite simple even from the inside, except for it having really cute illustrations on the page. This one also has the text in colour.
The layout for this diary is quite different from the previous one. It has a continuous 12 month layout set first, unlike the previous one. And then it has the weekly plan. Every page has a set of two weeks with a tiny box that is assumed to be for the to-do-list at the bottom of every page.
This diary also includes Project Record pages, which is clearly specifying that this could be used for college purposes or work. (one really cool thing about it!)


Here's a page for the Monthly plan. It's quite simple and looks quite perfect for a college planner.

I managed to take a picture of the Daily Plan (weekly plan)as well.

This is the page at the beginning of the diary.
Another cool thing about this diary is that it has a blank pages section too. Unlike the first diary that had a blank page and a memo page in the last, this one only has blank pages. 

To be Honest, I didn't like this diary and was thinking of returning or selling it off at first. But then I went through it and this is quite perfect for students / working students.
I would recommend this too!


Sticky Notes / Memo

First of all,  let me tell you how much of a collector I am for such cute stuff.
I just randomly found this and it was less than a dollar, so I just added this set of Rilakkuma sticky notes and memo pad to my cart.

I really don't think I have anything to review in this other than the design being accurate to what the seller uploaded on the site, so i'll pass it by uploading a picture

It is cute.


Lastly, I bought one thing that I needed the most in the last 8 years. . .  A pencil case.
I had been using a Naruto one which was black and I used it for so long, that it had started to tear from all possible sides, dropping my pencils out. This is what made me pick one from Aliexpress for a cheap price of $3. I really like the fabric quality and the colours it came in!
One thing I was skeptical about, was the storage space inside it.
The previous one I used, had a LOT of space and trust me. . I nearly fit in 35 pens inside it once.

I was slightly disappointed by the size it came it, but the storage space turned out to be quite large and my stationery did fit in!

Here, take a loot at it!




Aliexpress is quite good and specific with their shipping options, and this time they were CRAZY fast at shipping them too!
I received all of this within a time span of 24 days from ordering date.
I was actually out of town for a week and by the time I was back, these things were lying on my table already!
Do check out the site for some cool stuff !

[FANDOM TALK] Monsta X, An obsession or inspiration?

Hello Everyone!

It's the first of May and I decided to talk about this question that some of my friends had asked me a long time ago. I have always been very supportive of the K-pop idol group MONSTA X in every activity of theirs. Not only do I love their different style and their unique music, but also they hold a huge place in my heart. (also a huge place in my wallet)


My friends have often told me that I have been obsessing over them and spending on them way too much. But, How does a fan live otherwise?
I have explained them how this idol group is an inspiration to me than an obsession, but I thought this topic would have been great to write about on my blog!

This all flashes back to early 2015 when I was in my second year of college and dealing with a lot in college. The issues did not only limit to academics but also trust issues among friends and health issues (majorly health issues). .
This is when I used to stay in the dorm and I came across their survival show "No Mercy".
Honestly, I NEVER have been a fan of survival shows and I do not know why I even started watching this. Of course, trainees as just like students that overwork for hours and get no proper food or sleep.
I do not know why but this I found the trainees on this uber-scripted show to be very relatable. This is how I continued watching the show until the end. It did have very very very disappointing moments in it, but that is another discussion altogether.
When you are dealing with a lot of things, You need something to lean on. I was stepping into the competitive field, everything was harsh on me. I was starting to think about my choices.
This group's debut was what slightly got me out of that slump. I don't know if anyone would take this seriously but fans on a larger scale get inspired by either lyrics or song or something the idols would say on a show. For me, It wasn't lyrics, song but pre-debut trainees on a show.
You all reading this may feel that I am being over-dramatic and all, but it is true.

I can't really explain my mental condition from that time, but these guys working hard towards their dream of making music inspired me a lot.
The made me realise that even when things are extremely rough, there can still be a way out of it!
This is why I want to support them in every way I can!

Oh yeah! They're almost close to their 2nd debut anniversary which is on the 14th of May and I am a very proud fan watching their fanbase grow.
Not denying at all that this fandom has made me have some great friends!

This is why this group has a huge place in my heart. I will continue to love and support them in the very same way.

I end this post by sharing their latest release and would recommend you all to go and listen to it (listen to it again if you already have!)





BONUS

Pre-debut Biases :P

Walking Down the memory lane

Hello Everyone,

Today is going to be very very very sentimental as it's pretty close for college to end.
And I sort of looked back to how much the people around me have changed and influenced me as a person.
Four years is not a short time. Although School was longer, but the life I lived at university and the life I lived when i was in school was different.
It is a fact that when you grow older, life comes with responsibilities.
However, You aren't the only one facing everything in that time. This time indeed, brings a lot of change in your life. I would call this "Youth"
This is the time when you make same mistakes as everyone, do the same things as everyone, are as curious as everyone. Self Acceptance, Reflection, Identity Crisis, Depression, Anxiety and Stress are all the contents of this new book that we've begun to write. Well, those aren't all.

Walking down the memory lane, I was a very different person when I joined college. I bet everyone else was too. And we've m .
In July 2013, A baby bird set out on it's journey to explore a whole new world. Everything to it, was completely new. It wanted to fly high like the other birds in the sky, but it had just learnt how to fly. It tried to compete against a fully grown bird in the sky and got hurt. However, it did not give up!
It's desire to fly grew even bigger, i


We were all flower buds, that have bloomed into pretty flowers in the past years.
I have met a lot of people, and have made a variety of memories!
But, there are a few precious people without whom I would not have been able to be who I am.
Those people have played a major part in my life.
There were times when I wanted to stay closed within the four walls of my dorm room while there were times when I hung out with people and got to know them better.

Although we're all different people, we all have dreams. We are all working to make a path that leads to our dream. We all make mistakes and we learn through them. . But we are not alone. Everyone is together in this. And my classmates and friends have played an important role in this time period of 4 years!

I am grateful to them as they have been an inspiration and have had me learn about a lot. And my dear friends, who have never complained even once while listening to my daily rants. All your nagging and friendly advice never upset me okay?

Lastly, I wouldn't have been able to even write this if these people weren't there for me. My Family, My backbone, My support. Thank You always for supporting me in what I do and trusting me always. Without my loving and supporting family, these four years would have been very difficult to deal with.

I leave this post on a quote
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

[Shopping Tag #3] Discounts are definitely our friends~

Hello Everyone,

 After long posts of ranting about various things in life, I decided to post about something cool!
It's summer time and my sheet masks were over, So I was just scrolling past sites from where I could buy sheet masks.
Nykaa recently had an offer on the sheet masks for "The Face Shop" on which we could buy 10 for 500INR which is nearly around $7.
It took quite some time to reach me, but hey! I just got them in the mail yesterday!
I really like how fancy their packaging for their sheet masks look!




Previously, I had purchased sheet masks from Innisfree and I was quite satisfied with their care (you see what I did there?)
Also, The face shop was quite known to me as I had previously purchased a hand cream from there and It is beautiful. (refer to the post here)

Getting back to topic, I decided to try the lemon one and it was quite refreshing!
The tissue was softer and it was also smaller than the one I had used earlier.
But, it had a really humid after-effect due to the heat.

Sometimes, macs can serve as a great black background for photography!

Thank You to the friend who recommended me to try the lemon one!
I'll try the green tea and the Blueberry one next~

I'll wrap up this post by just telling you all to take care this summer as it is getting hotter day by day!
Keep yourself hydrated enough and make sure you protect yourself well from this heat!
Take care :)

A callout to the roommate life.

Hello Everyone,

I am sure many of us have lived a dorm life and have had a certain time in their lives where they had to share their rooms with roommate(s).
Media has introduced roommates to us in many ways. Everyone has always had dreams of having roommates who are like sisters and soulmates and people who do things together. (I have too. .)
And trust me, I have had moments like those! But also memories that have taught me the kinds of people that exist on this planet.

In my freshman year, I was not as assertive as I have become now. I was quite submissive and used to give in to things without questioning them. Let's just say that I was quite naive in my freshman year. Not that I wasn't compatible with my roommate or anything, but I was just too naive to this world.
I didn't think through the lines of "You're gonna be all by yourself". 
Getting back to the topic, My dorm life in the first three years of college was quite peaceful (Not Really). Except for this one huge drama I got dragged into, that made me lose trust in people.
I have had exchange students as roommates and trust me, bonding with people from other countries was never this easy. I've always had internet friends from different countries, but real-life experiences were better.

I am going to be following my set rules of not mentioning people or names on my blog. Also, some people might get offended but I am just trying to tell y'all what kind of people I've come across in these four years.



Well, beginning the core of the discussion! 

My writing may seem passive aggressive but I am just writing out some usual adjustment problems that I had to deal with.

It all started in the beginning of my final year when I had HUGE roommate troubles cause the person is a complete mess! This is not borrowing clothes, stealing food, using stuff without your permission or back-bitching at all~ but something that is very passive aggressive. 

Usually, there have been times when my roommates and I talked about the situations where either of us were uncomfortable with a particular situation. I tried this out here too. 
However, I was ignored outrightly instead of getting a response. That is when the huge set of problems began. 
How would you feel.. When you're working on a thesis all night long, sitting on your bed and being stared at for an hour?? (some willpower to not blink for that long) This all was because of the study lamp that was causing a problem to my roommate.

People who know me also know that it is basic manners to be hygienic enough to wash hands after using the Bathroom. However, I was asked by my roommate to wash hands through sticky notes on the basin mirror on the Bathroom door which was slightly amusing because.. I need not have to show people how I live my life??


However, this same person walks out naked out of the bath and it was awkward when my friend and I accidentally walked in onto that. This situation was responded by a "Why would you open the door so wide"
It is indeed very strange having come from a person who was uncomfortable looking at laundry in a bucket inside the bathroom.

Also, laundry can cause too many problems. I used to drop my clothes in a bucket in the Bathroom so that I could wash the clothes. It was appalling to see someone who also owns similar kind of inner wear to be feeling uncomfortable looking at dirty laundry. Well I agree dirty laundry is not very pleasant to look at, however.. it was inside a bucket. So I decided to stop that and only take em out when i needed to actually wash them. That did not sort out the problem.

The dorm cafeteria food is mostly edible but there are some times when we all love to order from out. There are some people who are vegetarians too. However, this problem here was addressed in a very very strange way. Room Freshener was sprayed all over the room whenever I'd open a takeout, majorly on my side where I'd be eating the food.
Is that not mild level bullying now?

Another most frequent problem is that, us young adults love to play out our music loud at times. There are rare times when I'd want to sing and play music out loud! but that's when I am alone or around people I am comfortable with.

After various one sided-discussions and requests, the loud music in my room still continued endlessly until we went home for winter break. One of the reasons why I seem to have developed a hatred towards loud music.

I have quite a number of acquaintances in the dorm, majorly due to my interests in the K-pop and anime culture. And those acquaintances keep coming to my room to exchange music and shows.
They always kept complaining that there's loud music being played in my room and something must be done about it.

Trust me, it is so loud that even neighbours five doors across can hear it.

I'm sure a lot of people love dancing as a working out option. However, doing that at 3:00am in the morning is very very noisy. Precisely, dancing with music on speakers at that time is quite noisy.
Also when a friend of mine came over to visit me, I was indirectly thrown shade at by my roommate saying to my friend that there are people who judge her dancing. (lol ..)


I complained to the authorities, but they only offered me a choice to swap my room which was almost impossible with the amount of work I have had in my final year.

That was when I decided to train myself to deal with it. Dealing with nincompoops would just have them feel victorious over the fact that they have received reactions to the crappy ways through which they've been dealing with people.


Before we left for the winter break, all her problems in our room were addressed to me. Through - a three page letter that was not even given to me in hand, but slipped under my suitcase.
A letter very passive aggressive and indirectly written. I thought of messaging her of how she indirectly addressed my upbringing in that letter but then, I would just have been an idiot reacting to the crappy behaviour.

However, I decided to be very very ignorant towards everything like it never happened.

And I returned after the semester break. I thought I'd deal with doing the opposite of all the problems that were addressed in the letter, but that was stupid cause watering a rock will do no good.
However, this time the vibes in the room kept getting strange as I kept hearing really loud sobs at midnight for a really long time. Soon after which, those sobs were loud laughs at night. I thought those might have happened while watching a TV show but nope. 

There were also STRANGE incidents of the wash basin having been coated with powdered tea leaves, tea bags and molten wax with matchsticks.
Once, there was also salt spread on my table. 


Later on, I began seeing tiny sheets of paper lying down by my basin. I thought those were used to clean some stuff, but in actuality.. those were the pieces of the artwork by me gifted to my roommate.
I actually admired how religiously and neatly cut those pieces were kept by the basin.

However, people like this will only be hated on by artists because they do not appreciate hard work.

There were also similar paper pieces and tea bag residue thrown in the elevator and I really wished that our country took strict action towards litterbugs. People like these lecturing about cleanliness and hygiene is a huge question mark with two exclamatory marks.

Borrowing or stealing is a thing. But, there were incidents where my expensive body wash and shampoos kept getting lesser and lesser everyday. Obviously, I didn't want to have suspicions but the situation had it made pretty obvious cause the cleaners who come to clean , know me since three years and know that they mustn't use things like these to wash the bathroom.

PS: It is very difficult to keep wet bottles of shampoo in the wardrobes.

So this is what I have been dealing with in the past few months of college life and it is honestly very frustrating when you have a roommate who doesn't even want to acknowledge you while talking. This is could be called mild level bullying at all.
BUT. . This also has some really really good points that I have learnt. I have learnt how to deal with the worst , I have learnt to adjust to conditions like loud music and random sounds and light and I have learnt to ignore people at my best.

Do stand up for yourselves and raise out your problems because it will only give the latter part an idea that they can do anything to you.
I am sure that not everyone has situations like these where it is difficult to have conversations so try and talk it out~

I guess this is it for the day and I must sleep now~

Final Semester + My Diverted Interests

Hey!

It's been really long since I've updated anything over here. I've been busy dealing with my final semester and lots of work. It's almost a week left to mid March and I have been extremely stressed over my final project. Of course, it is a lot of work and all. . . but it is solely my responsibility as I have chosen to go on that path.
This entire week was such a rocky road as nothing I tried to do went smoothly. I really hope that this semester passes by smoothly and I walk out of the college with a smile of satisfaction on my face.

Coming to the point of this entire post, I wanted to write about certain questions that people have been constantly asking me these days. As an animation student, I have often been asked why I am more interested in comic art or sequential art in general. 
To be very honest, I was interested in both traditional and 3D animation until my second year at college.
I even love learning new softwares and I've learnt a lot of them myself. However, in my third year. . I began reading web-comics or web toons and I was highly influenced by them. I had always been into comics and Manga. . but web-comics played a major role in changing my interests. Also they have majorly influenced my art style. 

People often assume that I have my art style influenced from manga, which is true in a way. Manga is what made me want to draw more. It was the reason I began practicing art more often in the first place. However, it is not entirely manga. I also collected small comic strips of Peanuts , Calvin & Hobbes and R.K. Laxman's stuff from the newspapers until I had an amount that created a huge mess of them in my room. Those were more of an inspiration that kept me going on. 
And then, I began reading webcomics which made me realise how art styles can have an impact on the readers. Some of the web-comics i read have a very simple art style but yet, they create a huge impact on the reader. Is it the story? Or the art? But the art is not even detailed!? How??
These were the exact questions in my mind. . And I think it is neither the art style or the story alone but how these two have gone hand-in-hand and have created an impact simultaneously.
Meaning, I was really fascinated by how the artist had managed to put the simplest of their work in a very beautiful composition that created an impact on the reader and had them say "Oh! so this is where the story is going"
I'm still very very fascinated by how different every comic artist puts up their work differently. There are still a lot of unanswered questions on my mind which only exploring and learning more can help!
That can only be achieved through experiments~

So, I haven't exactly lost interest in animation as a whole. I will still be really greedy to learn new softwares.
Even now, I am very much interested in learning new stuff and I shall definitely learn them after my graduation. 
This world is full of new things to explore and learn! 

Yes~ So I guess this was all for the day!
It will soon be my birthday in a few days and also my pre-final jury.
Please wish me luck, friends TT

Love Y'all!

Art - as a Hobby and Subject

Hello everyone,

The thought of writing this post had been lingering around in my mind since the second year of college. It's just like one of those expectation v/s reality memes that you find all over the internet.
It all started when I was 6 and used to watch cartoons, I always drew the stuff I used to watch. right from Mickey Mouse to Tweety and Buggs Bunny. When I turned eight, India began to air anime like Dragonball, Pokemon, and Card Captor Sakura. That is when my love for art grew even more. I always thought how fun it would have been creating stuff like characters. 
Until I graduated school, art had always been a hobby. I had it kept in my mind that I'd be studying art or animation someday in life. Keeping that in Mind, I got into this university. 
Art is something that receives both praises and criticisms. The comments are never always good or always bad. Usually, mentors tend to shower the students with a lot of constructive criticisms. Those are negative feedbacks with a pathway for improvement.
I always draw, mostly fan art or just doodles. And I draw those when I feel like and also draw how I feel. After spending 4 years in an Art college, I have realised that our imagination and creativity have to be caged to suit our mentor's feelings. Not forgetting deadlines! Time is a devil, causing too many problems always. Deadlines were never a problem until the last two years. The years when our thoughts were limited to only to suit certain criteria.
I began thinking about this when one of my professors told me that I was not suited for the course I am studying. I thought what the reason behind that would have been. It had to be my work. . . Maybe I worked differently when I am under pressure? or maybe I am not putting in much heart or soul?
I am only mentioning all of this because I have come to realise that my feelings towards art as a hobby and a subject have been very different. Not saying that I hate either, but the surroundings tend to change the quality of work and also your feelings towards it. I have done an internship at a comic house, and that also had deadlines. But working there was another experience overall. The work I delivered there was very different from what I have been doing here.
I thought if it was because I did something I liked, but I always chose that pathway even in my assignments. I won't even blame time constraints because that is a default setting that comes with assignments.
It is the kind of feedback one gets that affects their working style.


I've had an interest in art since a very young age. My mother is a very passionate artist and used to draw and paint a lot when I was a kid. Watching her do that had me develop a passion towards art as well. It's not particularly only that, but art as a whole has helped me a lot by carving me into a different person from what I used to be back in school.

Around in 2004, the time when I got limited access to the wired internet at our house, I began reading manga. Manga made me draw more, it taught me proportions and various expressions a character could have. That is what made me have a dream, of being a comic artist.
After spending two years in the college, I was confused. Never had I imagined that I would feel differently towards something I love.
It was true! Even in school, I always studied my textbooks at my own pace. I thought of them as interesting stuff that can be used somewhere in life. Sadly, the feeling did not last anytime after middle school due to the teachers that taught me.


Do all of you who study in the creative field feel this way too? Please share it with me ~
I shall end this post here to not make it boring ~
Anyway, I'm currently busy with my final year projects so I guess I'll be venting out frequently here.
