Winter love birds

So this is my tutors roommate and his girlfriend from Korea! She is visiting until February. I have had the pleasure of meeting both of them a couple times now. They are so sweet together :3

After lessons we went to a local farmers market in the city by UofA campus. Felt more like a craft sale but still equally awesome. We also met up with another of his friends who plays in the military band. He was playing with his buddies at the market and it was so pretty. It was nice to sight see a bit.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Working long hours at my new job and its exhausting. Things are piling up on me and kinda stressing myself out! Need to stop it haha. Other then that I have been making plans to get myself up to schedule and speed with what I want to do versus what I feel I can do. So Regular updates should start happening soon. To be honest probably wont start till after the holidays.... Just to be safe :)

Anyways love you all!

Fai

This was fun to draw. I really liked the picture she had up on the Penpal site that we connected on. She is learning English and a really smart girl! I really like her smile and giggle ^-^

 I feel bad that I spent more time on this then the one previous so tomorrow will be a re-do of Diane. She also introduced me to a site for people interested in Korean culture and want to go and make friends. the chat is always so crazy haha.

I finally managed to get my Korean and Japanese keyboards working on my computer now which making responding to the messages a lot easier. It is hard to learn using an English keyboard though haha.

Well a few more informitive videos on YouTube and then off to bed.

Love you all <3

Sketch 68 - Kang DaeSung

Daesung . . . what have you gotten yourself into? I have been following the story of his recent car accident to which someone has died. There are so many rumors going around and news stories twisting things before official ruling has been made. As it stands from what I understand is that Daesung was driving at 1:30 am when coming over a hill he ran over a previously fallen motorcyclist and crashed into the back of a taxi that had stopped to help the victim. The taxi driver has released a Q and A to which he explains that Daesung may be wrongfully charged and is being blamed for everything.

Here is a site I have been using too keep up on the news: soompi.com

As for work today. What is with the wind this year? Seriously. Like tornado strong winds enough to blow me off my feet which almost happened several times today. Surprised Margaret wasn't carried off with how small she is. I ended up with further sunburns on my hands, a spider bite on my ankle, scratched eyes from the dirt, bloody nose from blowing out mud and powdered cement in my hair which is VERY hard to get out. Also blisters on my hands from trying to keep my stop sign pointing towards on-coming traffic and flying either out of my hands or into my face more then it had already. Hopefully it will rain and help with the dust and calm the wind down a bit.

Anyways! Goodnight world. Love ya <3

Sketch 52 - Eat Your Kimchi!

YAY!!! Finally done. Martina, Simon and Spudgy. Although I still don't like how Spudgy turned out. I'm not very good at drawing animals. Quite proud of this one. Worked on it most of the day while watching their videos. I hope they like it! Finally into 2011 videos I think... Martina likes pink and bacon so I made her a shirt with both. Her shirt says 'Bacon Love' with a heart made of bacon and Simon's shirt is a Shazaam! shirt. I know he has a tattoo but its like 1am and I need to get to bed. Not that I will actually be able to sleep.

I still stand by my vote to abolish guilt trips. I loath them. My family has mastered the art to the point they don't even realize they are doing it anymore. I have a huge decision to make regarding my job, that really should be no decision at all. If I was currently employed anywhere else that I'm not at the moment then everyone would be pushing me forward. Tomorrow I find out (hopefully) exactly whats wrong with me medically and I can go from there. Hopefully the hiring person will give me a bit more time to make said decision. I am in so much pain both in body and mind right now. My side today felt like it was gonna rip open and now my emotions and head feel like exploding into a meltdown of epic proportions. I want to just give up, but I wont and can't.

Time to go attempt to sleep and or just rest. LOL I think my tear ducts actually ran out if that's possible. Nice thing about crying is it reduces stress and is great for your skin. My cheeks are so soft. Anyways . . . Goodnight world! Love ya <3 

Sketch 51 - Simon, Martina and Spudgy

Simon, Martina and Spudgy from Eat Your Kimchi. I have been loving their videos. Such an amazing couple. They are Canadians who moved to Korea to teach and vloged about it every day. To me they are such an inspiration. I actually have my TESOL certificates and tried to teach in Japan. However I got turned down for all the paid teaching jobs in Japan because I had no experience and or early childhood development certification. Outside of their jobs I just love watching their videos. Martina and Simon have such wonderful personalities and make an amazing couple. Spudgy the dog is adorable in an odd way haha! Also very jealous because they got to meet almost all of my favorite kpop stars including BigBang. Man if it was me I would glomp Daesung!

So today is just the line work. Its a huge piece but I have some of the color done already so to finish for tomorrow's blog will be fast (hoping). I'm actually really proud of this. For a sketchier full sized picture it turned out great...except for Spudgy because I suck at drawing animals (forgive me!)

In other news, I'm getting nervous for Thursday. I've been getting more frequent pains in my side and its getting harder to do things without writhing in pain on the floor. It's starting to scare me and honestly I'm scared to find out exactly what it is and what the outcome and treatments will include. I have a lot planned for my future ...

Anyways! Conservatives won the election in Canada so .... nothing will change! Not so bad I suppose but whatever. Getting sleepy so Goodnight world! Love ya <3
