I'm going to travel to USA on July 13th and I'll only return on July 30th, so I might not be able to access internet until my return.

And, no, I'm not going to Philadelphia anymore I guess. It seems we are going to spend more time in Boston.

ALSO, Geocities is going to shut down its system, so my website is being moved to http://vanilla-cafe.webs.com. Please update your bookmarks.

DFF Promo Card - FFIX by ~eikomakimachi on deviantART

I've started watching the remake of Fullmetal Alchemist and so far I'm really liking it. Sometimes I feel that the care with the artwork is a bit less accurate than in the first season (sometimes it seems like Ed's bangs get smaller), but other than that I really like how the anime is approaching more the plot of the mangá. I really hope the Xing characters are going to appear and that they maintain the original Homunculus/Philosopher Stone theory instead of maintaining the old anime one (which I'm not going to describe here as it is a huge spoiler).

Testing my PSP, which is gonna be my only communication device during my USA trip D:

I came across this pic on my Picture Folder. It's an old pic of my 2nd-grade's highschool project for Physics (Eletricity and Eletromagnetism subject).

I find it amusing X3

You know, I'm just fucking tired of what is going on in my college, I know it's something big and important but the LACK OF RESPECT AND DIALOGUE between EVERYONE is just getting plain stupid and I'm almost locking myself at home because of that so at least I can worry only with ART DISCUSSION in DeviantART and other art communities, which is something that takes most of my life time. At least it's still in a very civilized level and when an asshole someone decides to act like a stupid kid that thinks that he/she will win with hostilities and shouting, you can just ignore said person.

Even in real life, it seems my discussions about art are also more polite than whatever chaotic issue is forming in my university.

Gonna continue this rant later. Maybe I'll try to explain what's going on.

I´ve decided not to, since I´m still way too pissed off and I might write very nasty things here to some people (not that "those" people even know I have a LJ).

SPREAD THE CABBIT KUJA LOVE!!!! X3

Posting a collection of pics of my university. The building is almost falling and it's very dirty (that's why I say it sucks), but I think it's a beautiful building (if it was in good conditions).

The roof of my supposed-to-be-my-studio-but-it-is-closed



Pic of our second building (LAME - not "lame", it's the abbreviation for "Laboratório de Maquetes Experimentais" / Laboratory of Experimental Models), where the machinery for building things are.



The cafeteria:



The main floor (Ground Floor)



My old studio (we change studios every year)

What with all the anti-thing between all those nations? I mean, I know there are historical issues and such, pretty much like how America and England must have been and England with France, but to actually take Hetalia seriously enough to consider it a Japan's insult to Korea?

Geez, I'm from a Chinese family and I don't feel insulted by the hundred of China jokes that are in this fandom (can´t say about Brazil cuz it doesn't appear in the story... I think we only became more important in WWII... I don't even remember what we were doing in WWI o_O). I mean, it's just sarcastic joke, and I must say NO ONE there in this show is saved from it (even Japan who seems way too narrow-minded and withdrawn in this and has porn books XD).

But the thing is not Hetalia. I simply don't understand why there is this whole hate-hate story. I have two friends, one is from a Korean family and the other is from a Japanese family. And I must say I get along with them pretty well, we actually laugh at one another because of the cultural differences. On the other hand, there are some more traditional families here whose members of my age actually don't even talk to anyone that is from another asian nationality. My own family isn't really too fond of Koreans and Japanese... but then, we also make sarcastic jokes of ourselves (such as saying that we Chinese eat almost anything that moves and breathes XD... it's kinda true...in a way, now that I'm thinking), and we have a good number of friends who are Japanese (and now we even have some family members that are Japanese). As for Koreans, I don't think we have much contact with them... except for my friend, of course. Seems like here the Koreans are a bit more "closed", but that's just my impression.

Sorry for this long useless rant, but it was something that had been bothering me lately. I don't wanna have to run from Japanese and Koreans because they hate me for what my ancestor's country did... Nor I hate them for anything their country might have done to mine.

Edit: New pic of my college ^^

I have to watch/read Hetalia when I get more time D:
