Origami Extreme - Part 3 !!!


Hello everyone! It was just last week that I posted something, but it was 10 MONTHS since the last time I posted in English. Uhm, long, yeah, whatever.
So it’s origami again, and this time is about dragons! I personally like them a lot. They are such great and beautiful creatures. However, in origami, dragons are usually extremely hard to make, and the most difficult model in the world right now is a dragon called Ryujin version 3.5 by Kamiya Satoshi (You can
click here to see the image). Since I’ve put a bit more effort this time than the two previous ones, hopefully you all would like it. :)
Again, most of them are made with one uncut square, and they are creations of other people. I just simply made them based on diagrams.


PART 03: DRAGONS
DRAGON FLIGHT by Charles Esseltine, pretty easy to make.
I don’t know the name of this model. It’s “Đầu rồng Thiên Long” in a manga called “Hiệp sĩ giấy”, published a long time ago :D
DIVINE DRAGON HEAD STATUE in “Hiệp sĩ giấy” manga also. I made this with 2 pieces of paper.
BEHAMUT (a.k.a. Divine dragon) by Kamiya Satoshi. If you look at part 02 again, you’ll see that he’s also the author of Unicorn, Chocobo, and Lion, and also Ryujin I’ve mentioned before.
CHUKA RYU by Hoang Trung Thanh. Yes, he IS Vietnamese!!! I made the dragon with seven pieces of paper. It took me forever to finish these scales =.=’
LAME DRAGON by Francisco Sanchez.
DRAGON SERPENT by Mario Netto.
HEART DRAGON by Fernando Gildago. I like this one, because it’s stocky somewhat, and the small wings are simply awesome.
SNAKE DRAGON by Marc Anglada.
DRAGON OF FIRE by Fernando Gildago again. This is my latest product (more precisely, I made it last night). This guy is really challenging, but the features are unique and worth-trying.
Yup, that’s it. I will be working on the next part, and will post it up as soon as possible.
Have a great Thanksgiving. Good bye!

Fei's Mooncakes

Fei is a Chinese guy at work who is socially awkward. He does not hang out with others, nor does he talk to anyone beyond “Good morning” and “How are you.” It’s not that Fei doesn’t want to: he’s unable to. But he would bring food to us as gifts – Chinese cakes, Chinese candies, Chinese snacks – for Lunar New Years and other Chinese festivals. That’s what people do in Asia as a way to maintain relationships. A social obligation. The Mid-Autumn Festival is near. No one at work besides me, another Asian, knows about this festival. Fei brings mooncakes, a type of round-shaped pastries, to work and gives each of us a box. The packaging looks gorgeous: a red square box with gold patterns depicting a lady dancing next to the moon. Inside is eight round pastries, about two inches in diameter. “Thank you very much!”, I say, as Fei hands me a box. Every day since, Fei comes over to my office and asks if I have tried the mooncakes. I have not, but I will soon, I tell him, feeling slightly guilty

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

Đường Của Tôi

  Hẹn một ngày thời cấp Hai nông nổi Bỏ ngây thơ, tôi góp mặt cho đời Đây là lúc mải chơi game, không học Tôi phó mặc, kệ thứ hạng hư không. Bạn Đường à, sao ngồi bên tôi vậy? Sao nói chuyện luyến thoắng mãi không thôi? Làm kiểm tra sao bạn che tay lại? Tại sao bạn chạm ngỡ ngàng tim tôi? Và tôi chợt nhận ra đời quá đẹp Thơ: nắng đọng; câu hát: sự ru êm Nhận ra đời dành cho ta hy vọng Nhận ra lòng tự nhiên chọn yêu em. Lễ tốt nghiệp trong một chiều mưa rơi Nỗi niềm kia mặc nhiên chưa nói được Đường của tôi không cùng tôi chung bước Mảnh chân tình không trọn vẹn, buông lơi. Ngày hối hả, bao ngả cuộc đời trôi Đường gặp tôi, rồi thôi, câu giã biệt Giã biệt đường đi tôi mải miết Bởi mưa chiều nay đã tạnh, em ơi!
