Upon coming back here on this sweet holiday month, I realized I miss the old time. So hiiiiii everyone! Actually, I've pretty much avoided Internet social life in these past months, and for a good reason. I noticed the lack of Internet life prompted me to do more stuff outside, do exercise, doing slight socialization with people outside and stuff. And I've noticed my health improved and even my physical shape is changing for the better ever since. So I was pretty much dead on every parts of my Internet social life. I even haven't checked my dA messages since last September. All I can say about this is... I'm sorry for leaving for so long. I'll try to come back from times to times, but I'm not sure what to do with my dA account. I don't really plan on posting over there anymore. Maybe I should just deactivate it?  Anything new with everyone's else life? I'm curious. |

I can understand where you are coming from. Without Internet, I tend to go outside to shop or wander around (to find an Internet connection for work - teaching in Korea tend to somewhat rely on the use technology and TV) and explore my neighbourhood more - even when it's quite cold outside. I try more often to call people once a week or so or text them.
Congrats on getting yourself into shape! That takes quite a lot of effort =D I'm still working on it...(haven't intentionally started but I will try my best to do so soon)
What's new...I'm flying to HK for 9 days to visit my relatives there, so I can briefly escape the cold weather in Korea. I've also started cooking my own meals (and I'm improved quite a lot from making just instant noodles, fried eggs and ham and the sort, haha)
If you wish to deactivate your account, you could. I'm sure many fans will miss seeing your artwork and your sense of humour around though! Would that mean that you are not interested in continuing with the FE-ES project as well?

I'm glad you understand! The Internet is sure a time killer, isn't it? Yeah I still walk a lot outside too in the cold, but as long as it stays above -5C I'm all good, lol. But when it's too cold, I workout and stuff. Even when I'm at the job, I go to the nearby gym during my break if it's too cold to walk outside, lol. You can do it (shape yourself!)! One of my ways to get in better shape is to stop being lazy about doing things around home. For instance, I hate cleaning home, but I tell myself stuff like: "Well, let's do this anyway", and I do the whole thing. By constantly going that way, I get less lazy when it comes to working out lol. Wow, it must be awesome to be able to travel that far for relatives! Pretty much all of my family live around here, so I never really get an excuse to travel outside. And cooking your own meal is very satisfying. You can find a lot of recipes over the Internet and in few cooking TV shows. I wish I could have the liberty of doing more than Asian food because I have a very picky family D: I'm still eager to continue the ES project, but I've already made up my mind about the project being dead, and now I do other stuff to pass time, like... writing silly Ace Attorney fan fictions (which I discreetly write even when I'm as the job, haha). :/ |

Hello! There's quite a bit going on in my life -- I still have to get through various stuff to get the life I want, and I just narrowly escaped a burglary AND seeing snow in the UK. Take about being lucky and not at the same time.
Right now, I'm just playing lots of Smash Bros. Once that gets died down a bit, I'll be getting myself ready for the next stage of life, whatever that will be.

I usually go shopping for food or other things I need and I usually have to take the bus. I don't mind Asian cooking myself. I find it takes more time to make Western food anyway (like pancakes!~...my kitchen was a disaster after trying to making panacakes for breakfast. I used to make them all the time and now I'm terrible at judging how much oil to pour, how much batter to use, meh XD). Funnily enough, I missed poutine so much in Korea that I tried to make a cheap imitation of it. I pan-fried some potatoes and made my own gravy with beef soup stock powder I bought at the local convenience store and added a little ice wine for fun and cornstarch to thicken it (I think I'll use butter and flour for pancakes, thank you very much). The American church members that I hung out with during Christmas had never heard of poutine so I let them try it. It was a shame I couldn't find cheese curds, so I bought a mild cheddar cheese block to substitute. I suppose it was decent, but at least it wasn't as greasy as it could have been lol. I dunno about that. It can feel pretty lonely after work since I'm not interested in hanging out at the bars and during work when you can't communicate with your co-workers. It's been only three months and there were moments that I seriously considered leaving and moving back to Toronto, but I gotta survive~ I'm sorry to hear about the ES project. I finally caught up with the story (a few months ago) and I really enjoyed reading the entire work in progress and seeing how you guys worked so hard together. Hehe, your stories are always welcome~ I've been wanting to write short stories or scenes about Gungnir myself (including one short scene where I reference Ace Attorney characters...=p) or attempt to draw scenes that I've been too scared to do so...(seeing that it isn't all that popular is rather nice...less chances of viewing unwanted *inapprorpriate* artwork and fanfiction). I may end up deskwarming once I go back to Korea in January, so I'll use that time to continue on my pet project here instead of burning my time on YT XD Sorry guys but I blah too much =p It's great to hear that you're doing well, Elchi~ |

Hello YL! Poutine can be easily done with just Gravy and any kind of cheese, though of course it's still not as good as the authentic one  Lol, I'm not the kind of person who hangs out at bar either, though I did once with co-workers and I was rewarded with a parking fine because Montréal is a retarded city for parking lots. And I did not drink either, so the experience wasn't spectacular. :/ |

Hi!
I guess I'll miss more about the parts of the world that aren't my actual home. Oh well.
Not sure if I'll try poutine myself. Sounds all too fatty to me. But then again, I've already lived in the miraculous land of fish and chips for a year, so there's that. And I did, very rarely, go to bars with my friends there. I don't drink, but the people there never minded (and a bar's real function is to serve as a literal chat room, anyway). And it's not bad at all once you get used to the noisy environment.

That's great that you don't like fatty food. Fatty food being food that smells great but after eating it could makes you feel crummy afterwards, lol. Maybe it's just me, but I've mostly heard and seen the bar become less of a chat room and more of an awkward room (if you ask me). All I know was that my first experience at the bar wasn't pleasant, lol. I did pop in rarely too and performed once at a open mic event. It wasn't the atmosphere I'm looking for though. |

I actually do like fried food. Chips with gravy and cheese is going too far, though. I guess I may give it a try (a single time) if I do have the chance, but like fish and chips, I'll probably skip the rest of the day's meals. I don't really have health concerns, but they do taste like they're the equivalent of three meals.

If you reduce the amount of gravy and add some vegetables, it will be more or less a meal. Or instead of deep frying the chips, you can always bake them. Or visit either Elci's location or mines for a short vacation =p

Well, I died too. xD
My biggest problem is that I don't ever seem to remember my password so I reset it every time I have to login again. It gets annoying. xD My internet useage hasn't changed and I gained weight and I have hard time believing that I'm 155 pounds since I still fit into my clothes. Surely, 20 - 30 pounds would make it harder to fight in stuff I got when I was 130 pounds but I still fit into those. So I don't know.
Just cut back on sugar for me, I guess.
Good to know that you guys are well, though.
