As I look back on 2013, I feel that I'm not the same person I was a year ago. I am, however, on a similar level as an artist, and that disappoints me. I have had a bit of a personal problem that might be to blame for this, and which I'm gonna wage serious war on in the new year. It's also been very bittersweet to see my classmates open up an animation studio and do so well, a dream of mine that I can't see come true in the near future (seeing how I'm bound to my job for another year). But I'm gonna retrieve my muse in 2014 and get a better hold of my ambitions.

On the other hand, my new job this year (which I started last August) has been very good for me. I've become a more open, communicative person. I've made some friends here, something I always take as an event. And I know more about studio environment now, and will even moreso in a year's time.

Besides, I've gotten more into gaming this year too. I got a PS3 and a PSP within a short space of each other and have been greatly enjoying them. So this year has definitely not been a waste. I do, however, consider it a real eye-opener that if I want to make my dreams come true, I gotta step up and put in more effort instead of just promising that I will.

Happy New Year! With any luck, I might actually put some stuff up in the new year. But if not, rest assured, I am busy improving myself.
