Seniors 2010 T-shirt

 A while I ago I designed a shirt for the graduating class of 2010.  I already own one and I am always asked where I got the shirt from.  I say that I ordered it off Zazzle.  If you like the shirt you can buy it online at Zazzle.com

Here is a preview of the shirt.

My class ring came!

A couple weeks ago I custmoized my own class ring and payed the $230 for it in cash at school.  Now, I've finally received my class ring!  It looks really nice and the first real piece of jewelery I've owned and purchased at my own free will.  This is something I will treasure for a very long time.

I took some pictures of my new ring.
 

It has its own box and a warranty card/booklet.

The ring on my right hand.  It has my graduation year engraved on the left side.

The right side of my ring.  It has my name engraved on it.

I am really satisfied with this class ring.  I placed my order with Jostens because the school recommended it.  I would encourage every high school senior to own some sort of valuable memorabilia of their graduating year.  It's totally worth it.

Tired of waiting?

I am.  This has to be the last time I'll ever rely on someone to do a favor.  I have no control over time and therefore, I end up waiting weeks with no results.  In the meantime, I've been practicing my drawing for some upcoming scholarships.  While I was in the mood, I decided to redraw WaveMan EXE.

Redrawing is not easy.  I had a really hard time getting the character design to be close to the original design.  Overall, I think the same character can be recognized anyways even though there are some flaws.

The overall mysterious tone of this rendition would have been a better fit earlier in my mini-series.  The glare over the visor was placed there purposely because I was not satisfied with the outcome of the eye.  This still works.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is Valentine's Day.  Usually, I don't do anything special but this time seemed worth mentioning.  I had a great time today.

Instead of eating out like most people, we had an eat-in.  Just eating in the backyard with the wonderful weather.

A variety of meats were cooked.  Among them, slightly spicy sausage.  However, there were no hot dog buns so I had to improvise.  I made this "Mexican hot dog" with the available resources.  It still tasted good.

And no Valentine's Day is complete without Lovebirds!

Credits taking a while

I've done my part of the credits.  I'm just waiting on Tayo.  The credits will be very well made, I'm sure.
Meanwhile on TREZ, Spikeman came back.  He is known for the 4.5 translation.  At least he's willing to help out the MMBN6 hacking scene.  Some good might come out of that.

While I was making the credits, I decided to remake the MMBN6 New Crisis logo one last time.  This time, I'm using more skills I've acquired since the first design.
Here is the final logo.

Cirque du Soleil - Kooza

Yup, I got to go see Cirque du Soleil Kooza yesterday in Irvine.  The first time I've ever seen one of their performances and probably the 8th time I've ever been on a school bus.  The show was absolutely amazing!  I would definitely go see it again (if it were for free again)

Going to see the show was a field trip on behalf of the French Club of Anaheim High School (I am the president of the French Club after all)  I took some pictures while I was there.  They did not allow any photographs during the show and I respected that. (the LCDs are very visible in the dark)

Here is a view of the tent from the outside.  There are various flags.

On the left there is another tent and some bathrooms on the far right.

On the right they have ticket booths.  I could see there were a lot of people who bough tickets at the door.

Here is a picture of me in front of the tent.  Another person took the picture with my camera.  Did I mention it was drizzling?  Not the best weather to be going on a field trip.

Here is a picture of my ticket.  It's not specific to any specific person.

Here is the back of my ticket.  I sat in Section 206, Row M, Seat 5.

And finally, the price of a combo at Cirque du Soleil is insane!  2 hot dogs, popcorn, and a drink cost $24!  At least they round up with taxes.  I bought a hot dog for 5 dollars and noticed that it was actually $4.66.

 

Overall, it was very entertaining.  The stunts and effects were unbelievable.  If you ever get a chance to see the show, I suggest you go see it.  Totally worth it.
