Hey everyone long time no chatty!! It has been far too long since I've posted anything on the Journal section and I just want to say THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH with all the FAVs and wonderful comments I've received. Things are finally pretty stable with things so far and lets keep it that way and better with each day. Anyways my of you have ask for commission in the past but regrettably I was really busy with school and work stuff. Now the Commission Office is opened for business. Although I never done it on DA before, so it's a bit different than what I do regularly in the real world where they just send you a check lol. So anyone out there now where I read up or a link of PRICES for Whats and other sort of things PLEASE drop me a note!!!!

Much Love Spirapride <3

Hey everyone its great being back in San Francisco...Had a wonderful vacation back in Belize; got to hang out with my family and friends..soooo good timez X 10000000000 hehe..

Belize.. wat can i say I love it and also hate it..its something like our past, both good n bad memories and it is something that make us today and something to improve on for tomorrow. my time bak home open my eyes and strength my resolve to work harder and improve in every aspect. My family and my friends gave me so much encourage n trust in me n I felt really warm on the inside seeing how many people is waiting to see me on the top and i absolutely wont disappoint them and especially myself. There was a particular thing i had to see it through n i did and was able to grow from that experience. All in all my vacation really rejuvenated my body mind n soul. So next Xmas again ppl..Get the Rum and Bashment ready haha

I apologies to all those loyal fans of mine who was left hanging, I had a lot of things going on around me n in my head to do any awesome projects  but i did do some with mix media in the time i was attending AAU < My Fav Skool> in the fall 08 and spring semester is about to start so looking forward to it and learning a bunch of new stuff. Not only in techniques and skill base but learning how to be a greater person.
I need to get a new tablet..apparently my old one didnt work on my MacPro..pretty lame and some art program..sigh guess i better start making that list!!!

anyways Happy New Years ppl and hope its gona be a great year for everyone ..much love Spriapride

LOL wow its been really crazy going up here. No one warned me how friggin cold it can get but it aite. The journey was pretty heart warming from the last few days with my friends to departure and all its dilemmas to finally moving all my stuff to my new home for the next couple of yrs in San Franncisco.
Yap the only thing i brought with me is 3 suitcase of clothes, pair of shoes, my tablet and my dreams ;P
Its been like almost half a year since i uploaded something on DA.. mostly i blame myself for being a major procrastinator n easily distracted by things hehe..anyways i will most likely to do some work n upload it. Especially since I m attending Academy of Art University (AAU)!!! yesss!! The skools great, so much things to do, so much events coming up, and so much interesting looking people.  I missed my International student orientation and my tour TT_TT but i was able to make it to the Fall Orientation so its pretty sweet to see so much young ambitious artist and get to know our teachers and their crazy personality. I m in the animation/visual effects major but our department is the biggest so yah. Living expense is higher than most state i ve been to but san fran is much cleaner, people friendly and good transportation. Oh did i mention its a beautiful city.
Something bout my new skool:
well as some of u might know that AAU is a very well recognized institution b/c of the quality artist it help product in the industry....sooo that means it has high expectation from its students and faculties but likewise u probably have high expectation from yourself in the beginning to attend this institution. The building and studio is situated all over the city but there is skool shuttle/ transportation service that will take u to your class free of charge ( but then they probably took it out from ur payment haha) In truth transportation in san fran is convienent and cheap..besides most of my class is so near i can probably get there walking in 10-15 min.
Living in a Dorm:
my dorms pretty big but its share among 6 dudes..I was able to meet all of them and they are pretty kool cats..so its goin to be a fun ride. The dorm is full equip with everything from kitchen appliance, to washer n dryer, furniture, everything else u might need but no MICROWAVE..they promise to give us one soon hopefully..b/c i need it for popcorn on movie nights or a lil midnight snack hehe. oh i forgot to mention my dorm has wifi but some website is block so thats a hassle for me since i use msn messenger n yahoo for my mail and contact..:( so hope they hurry up and get the company to unblock us but throughout the whole city theres hotspots so i can use it there..

Finally for those of u still reading this thanks and apologizes for my rants hehe. Well i will be updating more i promise. classes already started and assignment also..so i will be working alot more and c where tat ll lead to.

well tats all for now but continue to site my site and will be posted up.. and pray for my studies n continuous success in the future :D

WOW I havent written a journal entry for a really long time...

1.an important notice..some of the artwork has been re uploaded with better goodies SO CHECK THEM OUT!!!
LINK www.deviantart.com/deviation/5…

2.well I ve just uploaded a short animation recently base on Naruto ( actually its more of 'Snake" sasuke team members hehe)..I was wondering if i should focus on animation anow a days...
Despite my indecisiveness of focusing on cging or animating...I m already been doing some anime projects on my own and believe animation is no walk in the park...so big props to all u animators out there..it literally takes couple of hours just to do one 1 minute of animation...its due to the technical drawing, frame work, timing, special effects...ohh did I mention I got shitty animation programs ( Imageready T___T) but it works.

3.well Im attending summer school so its kinda a backdrop from work..and school projects are keeping me down .not to mention college hunting ...DAMN HIGH SCHOOL WAS EASIER TT__TT

WELL THATS IT FOR NOW PPL HAVE A NICE SUMMA YALL!!
