As 2017 is coming to an end within a few days, I want to share my experience with this year along with important announcement that involves with my OCS. I’ll be separating those two apart by a line for those who only want read the announcement so skip this right now.


===============================================





For those who want the short version of my experience I’ll put it like this:


2017 was a roller coaster ride for me as life changing decisions (I was in control of) and moments (I wasn’t) that were coming in way too quickly for my emotions however I manage to overcome them.








_____________________________________________________________






The first moment that happen to me in 2017 was the raise of follower here in DeviantArt as I barely have around 50 followers until April when the debut piece of Belle, Jade, and Rebecca that Satsumalord made for me by commission. That moment I soon realize this small idea that I have inside my head could mean something for me something I could look forward to make. Even though most of pieces in my gallery are made from other artists, I still want to show you guys my cast as I type down their personalities and the stories behind the pieces from time to time and give thanks to those artists who made them. During this time my sister have told me that we’ll soon have a family vacation in mid June and I was overwhelmed joyful by the news since our last one was around ten years or more. I immediately requested my days off as soon I went to my old job, I thought to myself once my family vacation is done I could start working on my idea I been meaning to do but at that point the roller coaster starts falling down.


Ever since I started working there I never requested for days off till that moment. Even sometimes I covered my former coworkers for theirs and I thought they’ll do the same to me. By the time there was a month left before my vacation starts I asked my boss if my days off were covered but didn’t answered, and soon I found out why. Two of my coworkers who were also in a relationship have both announced their two weeks notices almost the same time, hearing this I believed I might miss my vacation since there weren’t many workers on my department and my boss relied on me more than the rest of them. Each passing day on June was an emotional nightmare for me as my family members kept asking or remind me to ask my boss whether or not I will have my days off, the new added list I have to do and at the end of each day nothing from my boss. Within about four days till my vacation starts, my boss finally told me I could have my days off and it was a huge relief upon hearing it.


I only been gone for about ten days but those were the best ten days of my life so far. We forget about social media, we forget about politics, we didn’t want to think about our jobs, it was just my family and I on the road together. We visited some national parks in Utah and the Grand Canyon in Arizona while staying in Las Vegas for a couple of days and some of us gamble a bit as for me I got out there evenly. The next few days we stayed in Los Angeles and visited Disneyland (both parks). We went to almost all of the rides that we wanted to go on except for Space Mountain cause we didn’t want to spent nearly 2 hours waiting, my youngest nephew met Darth Vader for the first time on a meet and greet that we didn’t even know we were waiting and he was in total shock seeing Vader, and eating some of their delicious treats. Also before I forget if you're at Disneyland around 9pm or staying near it, try to go to a place called M & M Donuts and ask for a Blueberry Donut. They’re only a dollar each however get yourself a dozen cause my sister and I made that mistake not ordering a dozen once we discover how good they were.


Once we got back home I was ready on handling on the new task since I no longer need to be worry however the feeling was soon gone by another news from my old job I didn’t even know about. Another coworker was leaving and that person’s last day was the next day after I came back. So many mixed emotions that I did not know what to feel, and yet whenever I feel like this I deserve some kind of treat to bring myself some joy. That treat was a game called Persona 5, I never played or even know that much of the Persona franchise but hearing about it made me want to play it.


Best decision on a game I ever purchased and throughout July I play it. Making the main cast (and some supporters) as outcast in their world made me find a new light since I felt like that for a long time but thanks to this game not anymore and gave me courage that I need in life. Soon enough my old job got some new workers to show them the steps, and also an opportunity presented to me. While another sister of mine was working at her job her boss asked her how was her family doing she replied but when she mentions me her boss was surprised that she have brother and to tell me if I want to work there. Time passes I got myself a new job since September and left the old one behind. I was sad when I left since my old clients told me that they’ll miss me and they understand my decision since they too have saw me how much I worked there even before those three coworkers left.


Now everything is moving upwards in my life as I made a lot of improvements. These improvements are weight loses (I think I still losing at around 25 lbs this moment), new internet service, a new computer, and I hope to get a drawing tablet next year which now I’ll move on to the next subject.

For a while now most of you guys know about my cast of six from the Golden SSBBW Sophia Wester to the small human Cody. Each time I post up a new piece I usually put a little story behind it. I understand that my writing needs a lot work to be done and I wish to improve it in the future. Not only I want to improve my writing but also expanding my cast’s world. Recently not too long ago I have made some changes in my gallery, where all of cast’s folders are in one major folder that the title is called Protocol: Preserve and it is not just any title; is the title of my cast’s story. You hear that right I’m writing a story of my cast in 2018 next year, and I hope you guys enjoy it when the first or second chapter is ready. But wait I’m not done yet, I’ll also be coming back drawing again in sketches until I feel like I’m ready to go back into digital drawing. I’m looking forward in 2018 with these goals that I would like to accomplish and if I do hidden goals will be reveal someday next year. That’s about it, thanks for reading this, if you want to ask some questions please comment down below and I'll reply back if it's clean, until then I’ll see you all in 2018!!
