The end of the month has approached & the January hasn't been a bad start. Hopefully signs of better things to come.

Overall: Life has been more & more of me being reflective. I've come to accept some aspects in my life as a specific role to take in my family. Final decisions were made on someone very dear to me & thankfully...it was that compared to a much longer & dreadful possibility that was dodged. Other than that, other family members are looking to go away for a couple of months...hopefully soon & me possibly looking at a trip to the Philippines by the end of this year 2014? Too far for me to even contemplate the possibilities of that. Still more concern with financial odds & ends, looking to improve my life situation, so yes, the job hunt is still slow.

Artistic: So I've been doing my best to keep up with livestream on Fridays, granted less viewers but at the same time ... it really doesn't help that I start really late. I'm figuring out a better time or just livestream throughout the day, EITHER WAY...I'm content with it. I've managed to balance when to work on art with other little things such as video games & MMOs.

Gaming: I've taken a more consistent change to that - taking up a pen & paper rp group that I've slowly found myself a little more accommodating to, its starting to pick up a lil more this year & hopefully see some new ppl by Feb. MMOs though have been hit & miss, unfortunately w/ my partners in crime being ex-communicado for one reason or another (sick...life...w/e?), I've found myself playing more hand held consoles like my 3DS or starting up my Wii.

Anime: Went to watch Anohana the Movie at selective screenings here in San Diego. I got the signed poster, but unfortunately didn't get the letter. I still want to eventually get around to watching Magical Girl Madoka movie Pt3 & the only anime this Winter season I've been watching is Silver Spoon S2. Fall Anime - wrapped up Outbreak Company which was cute & Miss Monochrome which made me smile. A lot of other animes to backtrack on or I've simply had stopped watching for one weird reason or another...still a long countdown to Sailor Moon being relaunched for July...let's hope its not another push back.

So granted, I won't point & laugh due to the fact I live in California & everywhere else has been suffering snow, I can only wish those that are dealing with it to stay safe out there. Now, with all the goings of media (that celebrity did what now?), events going on (Give-a-ways!), an era on the tonight show ending (Bye Jay Leno...again...!), Superbowl coming up (In it for the commercials...obviously), Grammys winding down (I missed what happened there...) & everything in-between (going back to bed brb). I haven't forgotten one thing I will say since that day is coming up fairly shortly. Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
