MiKa-dorable

I've been trying to be more active here lol.

But anyhow my family and I will be in Asia from June 11 to July 3. I don't know if we will find internet there but I hope we can.
We have one mobile phone with internet during the trip but we all probably be fighting over it most time. xD So hopefully I can pop up once in a while for a bit.

My netbook screen is fixed, whoohoo (Thanks to my brother <3 ; It looked like this before..i46.tinypic.com/11kxbgw.jpg, only 3 inches I could see off of...)  So I can work on some art while traveling hehe. Even though it's small screen, I can't survive weeks without drawing so it's better than nothing... o.o
I have a bigger laptop specifically for drawing only with no internet but it's heavy so it has to stay home ;o;
Hope to make some interesting art for you all to see~

And with that, RL commissions have to wait till July... I've been aching to open them too...

Everyone stay well and safe, hope to talk to you guys soon again. And I anticipate awesome arts from you all too ^o^
Bye for now


Mika

As some have known, my birthday just passed, on September 13th. I didn't want it to be very known, I guess you could say... xD; And I didn't want it to be a very big deal. ;w; Only close friends knew because of Gaia xD;
But I still want to thank everyone who made it very, very special this year.

+Lots of thanks to hotaru-tann x3 She dedicated a journal to me :'D I love you love you~ <3

+icebag Made two beautiful aviarts; My dream avi and
one of my avis. Thank you ever so much~

+One of my close friends on Gaia, StillNothingRemains, gifted this beautiful art of my OC. <333 Doumo arigatou~~ <3

+This was an art trade from BritishMuffin but I received it on my b-day and want to say thank you still~
Another wonderful drawing of my OC Cx

+RemAurion Gifted me this amazing  cake she drew, it is one of the best cakes I have ever gotten, EVER, thank you!! :'D

JingleJag + EternalRegret + mute conversation on Gaia
Thank you, for the greeting and the items you all gifted me >///<

+Plus all of my Gaia friends who greeted me as well, a couple don't have dA's but I still want to show my appreciation anyhow~
--> iKittah, Silver-Day, Korremix3, Caim Neth, Angel Blossom, c h 3 r r e h, xXx Sango8 xXx, Chibi Otaku Artist, Denshia, Watsonia, Teh Ninja, Xx6Panda-Bear9xX, Babyboopbala, XxUchiha_KagomexX.

I feel so blessed~ <3

Many thanks to my friends IRL, they threw me a surprise party after school the day after my b-day. :'3 I was very oblivious to everything they planned, one friend of mine was carrying this huge plastic bag that read "JC Penny" (she said she woke up early just to buy it) and I naturally thought it was from JC Penny the whole day. xD; She said it was heavy and she couldn't leave it in her car because it was "perishable" in heat (so I thought it was make-up) so I kept offering to help but she would not let me, especially since she had class and I was on break. o_o
We planned to go to this Japanese Restaurant that I love across the street from our campus to just hang out and eat. After we joined two tables and the back, one of my friends pulled me away and dragged me to the front of the restaurant, and said she had something to tell me, so I went along. Pfft, and then she left me there for a while. xD I thought to myself, "I guess I should order since I'm here." Then she came back as I was about to order (I totally forgot to ask what she was going to tell me xD and took me back to the table, then BAM! there was a Hello Kitty cake there with a candle lit! *O* Yep, the thing in the JC Penny bag was the cake the whole time. xD I was so shocked and surprised. *W* They sang Happy Birthday, and I opened my presents. :'D  Then we ordered. xD
It took me a while to put all the pieces together and I even said afterwards, "So when you told me you wanted to tell me something, that was on purpose?" I was so gullible, I never caught on, I was too happy just being able to eat out together, it never crossed my mind. xD
We were so loud at the restaurant tho (we didn't get kicked out, thankfully xD. *u* And we stayed for about almost 2 and a half hours lol
I had so much cake this weekend... 5 different ones to be exact. rofl


On another note, I'm going to be on a mini art hiatus this week, I have so much things to do and have two exams plus two projects to do this week and next. Dx
So I will be taking a little longer to finish art. ;_; Please bear with me those I owe art to. ;o;


KIRIBAN 5555 IS COMING VERY CLOSE!!
Hopefully someone catches it, it will be the first one I do. x3 The one who catches will be getting an Tall animated chibi. :3

<size=10>Hello all! :'3 I haven't been on for so long, even on Gaia. RL unforseen occurences and such and had to take a break for recovery.
Some close friends know what happened, and I'm doing much better now~

As usual, I fail to update this thing. But I feel the need to because I need to make some important announcements.

First thing's first, I'll be closing all my commission slots for the rest of the year.
(Or until I get my own laptop o__o)
The last batch of commissions will be two slots from the joint Gaia shop I'm in (only chibi slots), and one from the auction I'm still in right now.
The auction ends August 15 and my two slots from the shop open on Aug 1st.
Joint shop www.gaiaonline.com/forum/art-s…
Auction with www.gaiaonline.com/forum/art-a…
School's about to start in a month and I want to spend my time on other things than art and commissioned-related. ):  
(Like getting back into shape lol and helping with scanlating my current fav manga, Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume~ <333) x3
Besides those, I won't be doing art trades either or collabs.
I have already agreed to some art trades and one collab prior to this journal and those aren't void. :>
As well as a freebie for Miss Jaggy :b   ;D

That being said, I really was planning on doing RL commissions this summer but I have to put a hold on it still.
I'm hoping to get my own laptop real soon, maybe for my B-day >_< and then I'll work those out as soon as I get me one. *u*

Well that's all the important things my brain can muster right now.
I'll update this more when I have to add additional info if need be. OuO</size>
