I'm gonna miss my old engine :(... Gave me lots of memories :(...

His name, is Zombie Bob. Because when he gets broken, he just magically fixes himself! That little 1.4L SOHC 26 year old engine propelled me to 180kph and stuck with me when I did all my crazy shit...

To Zombie Bob! May your 2.0L replacement kick ass like you!

Engine swap still on going T_T... Just a few more days!... Before I transfer him to a another shop for a roll cage, surge tank, and exhaust T_T.... another 2-3 weeks T_T....

Yey! We're shoving a 2.0L engine in my car :D... Actually I just want to update something O_O.... so here it is :P

Well.... not really... I'm bored, my car is dead, I need something to preoccupy myself with before I start the engine swap :P.

So here's the thing. I'll draw your character for FREE.

Under the condition that:
1. There's no set date.... so.... Yeah... It could take a day.... or a month... or something O_O.
2. No mature pleash
3. No assurance that I could draw your character the way you want me to draw them (since I suck and I only have a limited range)
4. I'm sleepy while writing this so I'm only half sure if I should really do it (since I'm afraid that I might not be able to deliver)
5. I don't like to have a line/queue... since if one day.... I get lazy... I have the option to stop O_O.
6. Concerning number 5... How I'll do it is... the first guys who requests me to do his/her character in this journal reply area gets the comish... I'll make another journal for the next picture.... If I'm still up for it O_O...
7. To add... As much as possible.... Male character please :). If you guys/gals have noticed, I don't draw girls yet. (i'll try to learn it by this year... I hope...)
8. Sorry for the unorganized rules since..... I'm really sleepy already O_O.... but I'm too bored to go to bed just yet so I'm writing this...



Soooooo.... There ya go O_O.... If nobody replies here.... I'm gong to a corner in my room and cry O_O.... Or eat a cheeseburger.... Or kill something... I dunno O_O... Sleep time... good night O_O

Ok.. An actual journal entry! It's a miracle. I know right?

Well... Here's the thing. I Race an old car. A 1984 Lancer EX SL to be exact... It's a 1.4L little bugger that became the center of my time since it got out of the paint shop. Most of the Mods were done/installed DIY style. I even tuned the Weber carburetor myself. This was a big mistake.

It all started when I tuned my Carb for the stock engine. It ran good. It was geared towards lean, but not dangerously lean. (For those who might not know, Lean means too little gas, Rich means too much gas. Being too lean is dangerous since gasoline also acts as a coolant for the engine... Too little and boom!) Then I got a better camshaft (an engine mod) for it from a friend. We put it in DIY style form 11pm-5am in the morning. Using the same carburetor tuning, I drove the car around the block. Parked the car and checked the spark plugs. "Good!" I said to myself. The spark plugs are telling me that I need not re tune the carburetor to match the new mod. Strangely, my water temperature is higher than regular... I Shrugged it off since it was still far from the danger zone.

Then... 2 weeks ago... My school's car club rented a parking lot somewhere outside our city. We planned to just have fun, do a simple autocross track and run around like a maniac! We even had fun on the way there!

I did a sustained top speed run - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvZtKIrgubw
I raced with our Accord buddy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZroMLePWaE
Drifted (fine! Doughnuts... Sorry, I has no LSD!!) with crappy tires - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cAF2CXDTQM
And ran autocross - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMTM0ppB_yI

The thing was, towards noon, my engine sprung an air leak on the 3rd and 4th cylinders! Crap! So I removed the carb and put it back on thinking that the intake sealing was the problem.... I resealed everything and behold! The leak was still there O_O... I was dumbfounded... So I had no choice but to retire the Lancer half way into the day. Luckily, on the way home, it fixed itself.... I know... WTF!?

I got a change oil and replaced all the spark plugs a few days after the event... To my horror, when a buddy of my requested to see my spark plugs 3 days later for no real reason at all, I discovered that I was running SUPER lean... As in, to the car guys out there, the spark plugs were completely white O_O. This meant that my previous spark plugs weren't reading right O_O. I made my engine go through all that while being dangerously lean!!! Crap! Then a few days later... Something gave underneath the engine. I would describe it as, put a coin in a can and shake it violently. Soooo.... I dubbed my engine dying... It's now here in our garage collecting dust.

My engine could still be repaired, but I thought to myself, "Is it worth the effort and money? It's just going to break again since it's been tuned by an amateur. It's a 1.4L too.... No much power there no matter what I do..." So I decided... It's time for an engine swap! A 4G63, 2.0L DOHC non turbo engine, swap to be precise! I'm currently looking for an engine to put in my little box :D. Can't wait for it to come out a few months from now :). It'll be another headache since we'd be reconfiguring a FWD engine into a RWD T_T...

Hope I get lucky!

Woah... I forgot about this O_O... Crap... I should start writing here more O_O... I feel so distant from everybody else T_T...

Well... More on me... Since it's a journal... Me thinks...

Well...
- I'm second year College now
- I just destroyed my car's engine... Fortunately, I'm a get a better stronger engine *evil laugh* I'll write a separate journal on this
- um... I'm not sure why but I can't concentrate on drawing O_O... I just end up sketching and leaving it as that O_O...

That's pretty much.... I guess...

It that time again folks that I think I forgot how to draw.... again T_T

*go looks for drawing skill under the bed*

Fuck! Hope I find it T_T

I just noticed... I don't journal a lot so I'll journal now :).

So update about me,

1.) I haven't drawn anything for the past week O_O.

2.) I've just made a switch panel for my car that took 7.5 hours just to make it more ricer O_O... (I mean I still use the keys ><) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca4fTDS5FbM

3.) Currently thinking about making a GT4 vid (I like cars O_O)

4.) Our band practice earlier didn't go so well (we ended up playing video games O_O)

5.) Still thinking about what to draw next :) (running low on reasons to keep on drawing actually O_O. If you have ideas, feel free :)

6.) Is thinking nobody's really going to read somebody's journal O_O.... So I'm not really expecting replies hehehehehe. :)

Cheers!

Crap I suck at anatomy... Now that it's summer time here, hopefully I have time to improve...... I tried to day several times already but nothing nice comes out :(

My old journals out of date so I'll post this new one :)

Well, not to bad though.

Here’s my story. I was taking a left hand turn (I was on the outer most lane on a 4 lane one way road) at about 50-65kph(not sure). Beside me, a place where concrete beams stood before(rough terrain with iron bars sticking out). Then a Speeding(well I was sorta speeding too) CRV cut me during the turn itself causing me to brake ever so slightly. To my surprise, the front wheels locked and boom, understeer. My front passenger side rim hit the rough terrain(wasn’t a pretty sound). Then my friend(very good with cars. Beat a Silvia in a non-modified Kia Pride) told me I had a flat. It’s a good thing that friend was with me because he told me about the damage. At first it only looked like a flat(except for the smashed rim). But upon replacing the wheel, in the process burning my friend’s finger on a lug nut, we saw the real damage. There was enough force to misalign the wheel and damage some other stuff under the car related to suspension too.

Well, my parents brought the car to the shop and the shop estimated $200 worth of parts are needed to fix the car (excluding labor). But my parents understood it was an accident and my Lancer Box project it still on the go!

Well, it was very foolish of me though. If I weren’t cornering that fast I wouldn’t have crashed. And I knew I had 5 passengers(classmates), small thin wheels, AND A KIA RIO! I emphasize, a KIA Rio... Now I know why everybody discriminates korean cars. A little brake cause traction loss instantaneously...
We still went to the mall though; changed car.

As for me, while we were walking in the mall, I told my self I would be scared of driving fast for another 2 weeks. But then the next day, I was racing my friend(another friend, drives a nissan sentra) to a tennis game he was going to in a nissan cefiro A32 . One of the friends who was with me during the incident.

Lesson here, always be aware of people faster than you on the road, always consider what car you’re driving, and always remember not to panic brake! Even if I didn’t brake, I wouldn’t have hit the CRV.

What really pissed me off is that the CRV had a tinted glass on it’s plate so I wasn’t able to report him…

I havn't been drawing lately because I'm too busy finishing last minute projects before the periodical exams O_o. Tired.

But on the bright side, It's my B-day today :D (sept. 1) yey! And I'll finally get my license :D (I wont go t school on Monday to get my license, but then that's the day before the exams so T_T)

Oh well, goes back to projects

Well figuratively speaking... I'm stuck at this wall at the moment and I can't seem to pass it! 1. I have no idea what I could put on paper and 2. I can't even sketch anything nice lately......... WAH!!!! *pulls hair* ouch!... Proportions are off by a mile and my interest in drawing is slowly depleting..... I hope comes back, with a vengeance!

oh well, I just put down the pencil and started playing GT4

OMFG!!!! I never knew that could happen!!!!

I just stopped for a while cuz I got addicted to GT4 drifting for only about a week.... now I start drawing and I think I forgot my style OMFG!!!! So I'll need some time to recover them... Or create a new one.... *sobs*

Ok... I'm out of Ideas on what to put on paper. I could think of some thing but they're all poses that I've done already. While the others are out of my league......... I'm not a really creative person, just forcing myself to.... Back the old video games for now. I'm only afraid that I'll get rusty from not drawing anything.....


edit: any ideas guys? but not so hard ok :P.... I could also try and draw your character :D

ok... Here are my plans... summer vacation is only 2 days away OMG!!! so here's what I'm gonna do(well after my trip to my friends mansion in baguio, a mountain famous in the philippines because it's cold there and the road named keenan road leading there which is badly maintained, really steep, and few guard rails..... OMG!!!! wish that we don't fall *wink*.... and that the Pajero don't break down):

well that's a long side note..... O_O

1. build my stamina cuz I started playing soccer(I sux)

2. Finaly convinced my parents to restore the old Lancer SL '83 (i'll post pics) to tip top condish(modified of course)

3. Well draw some more... I might be drawing some guys here from FA for practice.... And if it's good, I might post it.... but if it's not.... well I won't post it....

I might be even drawing you mr. guy who's reading this!!!!

4. and of course, review for collage entrance exams..... I'm going either for mech engineering or management eng.


Well, that's it for now..... see ya guys

I'll now post sketches and doodles..... I won't photoshop in a while though...

I was doing a pic in photoshop. It was turning out good, better than my other work... Then my PC ran out of RAM. So I saved it and restarted the PC.... Then the file currupted... :( T_T......... need to change this shit I call a PC..... WAH!!!

I love the book... But Fuck the movie... sorry for the language but that's how I feel....

*Spoilers*

-I MEAN COME ON!!!! The time(I thought it was not possible but it is) is not proportional to the story!!! I mean the intro was hella long(it felt like the whole journey and the intro were as long as each other).

-Brom's training with Eragon only had one session(The movie didn't show Eragon growing... I mean, the director could have made it like; At first they were fighting with wooden sticks, then next scene would show the both of them fighting with the real swords and Eragon keeping up with Brom's skill; It didn't show that at least!)...

-And What happened to his cousin!!!!

-And the Dwarf twins!!!

-And the scene when Eragon first flew with Sephira(with the saddle), HOW COULD BROM FOLLOW THEM WITH A HORSE!!!

-And the magic fatigue didn't really show... THERE WAS NO SMOKE DRAGON THINGIE!!!(and you guys might say that "So it would make the story better"... The fight scene in the book was better...)

-It focuses too much on Eragon

-The only character that was acted properly was Brom(my opinion)

-A person who didn't read the book whould have a hard time following the story

-I mean even Sephira's head armor when unmounted looked different from the mounted one!

*Eldest Spoiler*
-How would Murtag be Eragon's enemy at the end of Eldest if he wasn't abducted in the first movie! How would Eldest the movie look like!!!


End Of Eragon the movie sucks....
I'm so sad to think I've been waiting for this movie since January *cries a river then stabs car with knife thinkin' that it was a deer O_o*

Had our first audition a while ago and we played Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones which me and my band mates have been practicing since 8 months ago(our first cover). We also found a name of our band... it is "Paper Attack" which was inspired by the flash animation "Blockhead" in newgrounds (watch it)

How it went.... our singer skiped verse 2 and the last chorus and jumped to the outro.... So now I don't know if we're in or not(we're gonna play in a school play)

Ok... I am sick... have a fever yesterday and it came back today... *sniff*

And for the other stuff....

I'm planning on practicing cars and motorcycles and humans more.... and maybe buildings... I need stuff for my chars to do right?

for the rant part:

See I'm not really artistic and I'm just forcing myself to do so because I like it.... And I'll keep forcing myself to pry open that part of my brain!(take a look at my color scheme for example.... at the English would say.... It's absolutely rubbish!)

I suck! I mean, I can't even draw normal people! crap mehn!... And my sense of depth of paper is horrible!!!! GAH!!!!

Have a nice day :)

Ok.... need now things to draw... my theme, killing emo rock pople. No evil intended (yeah right)... I mean they're always Cut here... so why not cut 'em there.... So no hard feeling to the emo people :D

YEAH!!! just got addicted.... Still getting the hang of M95... and the fact that there are enemy snipers all over the place :D

I have a question though.... is there bullet drop?
tnks :D

Ok... I now have a new problem. I can't really draw seriously. When I sit down at home, I watch TV and play PC for hours therefore I can't draw anything. The only free time I have is during class(most likely english and Math and sometimes chemistry). That limits me to use smaller papers(I don't think the teacher would ignore a sketchbook... so i use padpaper). And now... I want to draw, just finished playing BF2 and Bully alternately. But I'm sleepy. it's 12am and I need to get up 5:30am so that I would have enough time to cram the Home Work I'm supposed to be doing right now.... sigh... Video games are leading me to my demise.... never thought demise would be so fun :D. Sigh, NEED TO CONCENTRATE!!!!

As the title says... I'll take a break...

But you know, the strangest thing. before, I can't draw a head so i quit. Then when I got bored and went back to drawing, I could draw heads, then there's the body, I quit again and when I came back.... well you know what happened.... So I'm hopping it'll do the same...

(I suck at spelling too)

Yey! I've been drawing for 1 year now!!!! yey :D
