All by myself

My Japanese adviser and my supervisor went to Singapore yesterday. My assistant manager went to Subic. I went to the office. Hehehe. Right now, I'm the only one left in our group (FA group). I just hope that nothing urgent or important thing will happen today.

Cherry's Birthday

Laptop

I was kinda excited today because the other division is going to lend me one of their unused laptop. I thought this is finally a goodbye to the current one that I am using. Meaning no more hang ups, no more slow opening of files, and definitely no more bad battery pack. I really can't hide my excitement so I constantly smile. From time to time I'd ask the person in charge when he's gonna hand me the unit and he would always say he's still transferring files. Finally, this afternoon he gave me the unit and to my dismay the new (not new new but new - get my point?) laptop seems to be more slower and can't open two programs at a time. My my, I really can't believe my lack of luck regarding these things (not to mention the cellphone, but of course that's of another topic). What I did is I ask the help of Larry (ISD member who is in charge with computers and stuff) yet he informed me that he'll be able to extend his help next week coz he still has so many things to do. Naks, I should have known better, I should not get too excited and I should have not expected too much. Grrr...

Camera

My supervisor borrowed the digital camera of my officemate coz he's gonna use it at his brother's wedding. He's not familiar with the gadget so he decided to practice and he used me and my assistant manager as models. Hehehe he took so many pictures but nothing was saved. He can't seem to store the images on the camera's memory and he don't know why. After many attempts he was able to store it. Below is the sample pic:

Birthday ni Gamay

Yesterday, Butch Gamay celebrated his birthday away from his family. I am not really sure if that was the first time away from his family like Andy (who celebrated his birthday last Feb. 16). Around 11 am Gamay texted me and asked me what time I'll be home that day and I told him that I'm going to stay the whole day at home coz I have to do my laundry and draw for my indie comics. He said that we're going to meet in Balibago to celebrate his birthday. He also requested me to text Andy and Owynne to come with us. Around 7 pm, I went to Paseo de Sta. Rosa to fetch Andy and we went to Balibago. We met with Gamay on an internet cafe and stayed there for awhile to wait for Owynne. When Owynne arrived we headed to Max. We ordered and we ate. We had fun. It was a simple celebration, with only the four of us, but worth remembering.

Downcast Update:

I still not able to finish even a single page on my project. I just started sketching yesterday with the script as my guide. It is not usual for me to ink my pencils but yesterday was a different case. Everytime I finish making one panel I just ink it right away. This maybe the reason why I draw slowly. The first page is so simple with 5 panels on it. If you may look at it, it was so simple (not eye catching or attractive to look at) that you may ask what took me so long to finish the first four panels. I do not know also. I just sketch and ink and then when I look at my watch it already took me hours in doing it. Well, I just hope that I'll be able to finish it within the set time (I'm not in a hurry though).
