Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:02:26 -0000 Yay for meeting up again with some of the Mafiagang! We met up at Time Zone Glorietta, had a little misadventure looking for Chester's car in 6750 and then piled up in said car (we were 7 people at that time) to have dinner and interesting conversation at Sango. We left Sango at around 10 PM then traipsed to the Fort to meet up with Titam for more conversation, alcohol and live <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28game%29">Mafia</a> :D Titam and I were the only girls, surrounded by nine Mafiagang boys (Ruben, Chester, Po, Edge, Jem, Juju, Nikki, Celsus, then later Arnold showed up with his friend Louie), but it was pretty cool. We stayed at Trio until they closed at 2 AM, then headed to the 24-hour Starbucks store in Valero St., Makati (which was really, really near my old office).<br><br>We played more Mafia there, after being revived a little by the coffee. The Mafiagang boys described the game mechanics to Arnold (who hasn't played even the online version even if he's on the mailing list) and Louie.

This time, i sat through the entire 26 episodes of Ouran High School Host Club. Ruben caught me online in the middle of my marathon so I typing my running commentaries -which consisted of evil laughter when Tamaki's being an idiot (again) and squeeing because of the weird love polygon they have - while i watched. Gah, Tamaki-sempai's so adorkable (a description that also applies to Avatar's Prince Zuko)! Talk about denial about Haruhi! And the twins! Those lovely, lovely and EVIL twins! I found the twincest-y scenes (which Hikaru and Kaoru really ham it up for the fangirls) were hilarious. And shadow king!Kyouya as well! He he, Haruhi of course was a great character, but I think I'm always going to prefer the other <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruhi_Suzumiya">Haruhi</a> more. I have nothing against Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai, but I like the rest of the club way more than them.<br><br>Gah, and the shipping!

For the first time in months, I went on anime-marathon mode and finished all 51 episodes in 2 days. My head hurt after that but it was so worth it! So I rested my eyes for a couple of days then watched the movie! So now that I've gone completely nuts about FMA, I'm looking for the manga scanlations.

O_o comments and suggestions, people? they would be really appreciated. i will be adding some more studies and revisions this http://lunatariel.multiply.com/photos/album/7/logo_studies_design_brew Sun, 25 May 2008 11:51:41 -0000 Currently working out logo studies for something a couple of guys and I are cooking up. Just coming up with a name took a couple of hours of brainstorming on my part before the actual discussion with the rest of the guys (and that took a little more than a couple of hours). So now I'm tasked with coming up with the logo and website design. <br><br>With almost a year of not designing things for a living, I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous. My design skills are mucho rusty, in my opinion. O_o So I spent the greater part of today website-hopping and looking for design inspiration. I've got a couple of ideas after the initial discussion, but they seem kinda stale in my head. Looking at other designers' works is sorta not helping, in the sense that I'm getting even more nervous. I want my design to be effective and good enough for whatever confidence my partners-in-crime have in me to be justified. <br><br>*sigh* I really hate this kind of pressure, even when it's self-inflicted.<br><br>--<br><br>Addendum: Hey, design ... http://lunatariel.multiply.com/journal/item/86/rusty_design_skills_oy_vey...
