Wow~ a year

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 07:01:57 CST

its been, officially and with no surprises, a long time. A crazy year for me.
I finally got married to my loved and wonderful boyfriend and fiance for the past 4 years. We also got a house! it need mayor work, paint and investment, but it is ours, we paid it full!!! 4 years of saving, discipline and more saving paid off! so happy. Oh! and the big one! ... in order to all this to happen I MOVED INTO THE USA! im so happy everything worked fine in the end, as soon as i got my visa i moved into Michigan xD, i have snow, bunnies, all you can eat deep fried food xD and my husband which is the only reason i moved for.
I still will, one day, turn this website into wordpress or joomla ... i have to.
I still draw, here and there eventually make an sketch! free time is 0 at the moment. The house work takes a lot of time, even if it is just 2 of us. Money just flows into paying the heating bill ~ouch!!!~ who knew .. and the house is not even warm xD it feels like if my wallet has a giant hole i dont see and money just flights out of there. Working hours get longer and longer lately and this whole crisis hit me hard with my income dropping drastically, BUT i still learn new thing for my job, the latest one is smarty templates ... which i hate to no end but i managed to pull out successfully. before that it was RTML for yahoo store and some XSL for elevatedX. I mastered wordpress templates and joomla too. I ABSOLUTELY HATE MAGENTO and i dont recommend it to anyone ever. Unless i really hate you.
This past year had it sad parts too, i lost a friend at young age, this was never suppose to had happen, ever. I also lost my granma, she was old and we knew she was getting weaker but it the news hit me hard anyway, those 2 are the freaking saddest moments of the year. However i have the best memories of those of them! I will always remember Oz as the funniest, more original girl i have ever met. And i will always remember grandma being all happy and excited about me finally getting to be with my fiance and she wishing us the best of the best in the world! at her 90 something years old she perfectly remembered my fiance she met once 3 years before ... she gave me the most genuine congratulations of all, she also make a perfectly clear connection of how she left Spain at young age to move to another country, and how i was doing the same thing.

So gone

Well, hello there!
Its been (once again and with no surprise) so long!
No i haven't forgot about my site! I still do stuff behind the curtains ... not that you see it but i just apply stuff i learn on here.
Work is fine. Now i work at home for almost 6 months now, i miss the outside world tho.
I'm still trying to marry my bf, that's is coming along fine. Actually our relationship is the only thing coming along fine so far.
I havent draw anything new since forever. It takes so much time and time is precious.
I started a new design for this site but i like the current one ... it could use some EXTRA polish and work.

no surprise

Well, once again i started something new to do on weekends. For many years now i wanted to draw something different than anime. Tried fantasy, realism, vector, but i think i found something that i can stick to it for many years (or at least more than 4 months) ... pin ups! i like pinups drawings or whatever you wanna call it, so there you have it, yet something new to do.
