how was your day?

fall

Sitting in class, waiting for the final to start. It has been a very good, but busy semester. Fall is most definitely my favorite season of the year, and I’m a little sad that it’s almost over.

Did some interesting projects here and there over the semester. My first attempt at using Game Maker for my Game Studies class project ended up being quite hilarious and somewhat frustrating, but overall beneficial and informative.

You are free to download and try out my very first game, called, “World of Color,” here. It’s less of a “complete” game and more of an exploration of the basic functions and first-time uses of Game Maker. I would like to expand on it one day. I learned a lot about the software, and I think there’s definite potential to make something pretty cool if I keep experimenting with the program.

Also did a collaborative project with a partner for my Game Studies class. This is a web-based story/game, called The Lost Panda. You can try it out here (yes, I drew all the pictures).

Still doing plenty of dance-related activities and events.

school and updates and such

I keep telling myself to keep updating here with my recent work, but it never really goes through. The Fall semester has been starting up very well, and I’ve been dancing, working, school-ing, and overall staying busy here and there. I’m having a very good time!

A photo of my partner Josh and I at Pacific Grand Ball about 2 weeks ago:

Also, here are a couple photos of professionals Victor Fung and Anastasia Muravyeva performing at PGB. It was awesome. =D

I have many photo highlights from PGB, but still around 500 backlogged that I still have to upload. I am slowly, but surely, going through them all.

Also, Halloween is almost here, but I can’t stop thinking about Christmas!!!!!!!

Nothing spectacular here, but the pen tool is my favorite!

Tada

More examples of stuff I made for Premier Ballroom Studio.

I am hoping to rebuild my online art portfolio with some of my recent school and outside work before the semester starts again. My portfolio has been severely outdated since my freshman year, and contains no hint of all the stuff I’ve learned and done in the past two years.

Also, I apologize for the large watermarks.

sushi and other things

Last week, I had a good workout and private lesson in the morning. Later that night, I went out with friends for more dance practice and volunteering at the studio. I had a great sushi dinner. =D

I’ve been craving all sorts of untouchable desserts and epic meals lately, no thanks my uncontrollable daily visits to this, this, and this. I think all the visual candy has been a good influence on my cooking, though. Speaking of candy, my dance partner got me this huge lollipop from Disneyland. I’m not sure how to start eating it, but I’m looking forward to trying.
