What have been going on

More updates if you will:

1. We finished a brand-new comic!
I may have said this before: whenever I don't have to go to school, or to go to work, I will be... extremely busy with self-appointed projects. About 4 weeks ago, I decided to join force with my best friend DO to participate in a huge Vietnamese comic competition. We worked hard on that, and the result was satisfying. The comic is in Vietnamese, regrettably, but here is the link if you want to take a look. : D As the competition is still going on, I am only allowed to post the poster (title page) of our comic here.

2. My brother has a fundraiser
My brother Holden is entering the Nashville St. Jude Country Music Marathon, and he is trying to raise some fund for his school New College Franklin in TN. Here is the page. Please take a look, vote for him or support him with donations.

3. Bluebell is back
Bluebell, once was the co-writer of this blog, is now back! Let's hope that we'll see her new posts soon. :)

4. I have finished reading the Bible!
Yes, the huge book of Holy Bible! The book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was read in an afternoon, but the Bible took me roughly a year. When I saw the last page of the book of Revelation, I was super excited. Amen! :D

That's all the updates I am sharing this time. Next week I'll post something rather new and special. : )

    1. Congrats on the release! I assume DO is an abbreviation as is DK, just trying to get in the loop.

    2. I notice that the Date on the poster is My Birthday!

    3. Good luck to your brother on his fundraiser.

    4. Glad to see Bluebell is back and you 2 are (maybe) collaborating.

    5. Congrats on finishing the Bible. I have tried this and gave up before I was 1/4 of the way through. I now rely on Melissa to teach me the stories that I do not know.

    Good to see you are still being creative. I showed off some of your origami to a coworker yesterday.

    Thanks for all the thoughts! It's your birthday, yes! :D Coincidence this time - still cool though. DO stands for Dark Orc, as I am Dark Knight (has nothing to do with Gotham City). We have 2 more D's.

    Bluebell is "Arwen", if you know what I mean.

    The Bible is way too huge! I gave up like twice before finishing it. 1/4 of it is still an accomplishment. The New Testaments is easier to read btw, and much shorter than the OT.

    I do know what you mean. I did start in the OT, maybe that is what discouraged me...

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

By
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?

It's Hard to Share!

By
I like to share. It’s not like donating stuffs (it’s good too) but more like… introducing to other people what I find interesting. So actually this post’s title should be: “ It’s Hard to… Introduce ”, but it wouldn’t sound as good. So there you go. Songs, books, movies, games… Whenever I find one interesting I’d love to show it to another person – like a “maven”*, if you know the term, even though I am not as specialized and valuable. It’s pretty much become a hobby of mine. “ Hey, you want to hang out? Come to my place and I’ll show you this awesome video clip I found last week!” And one day I finally realized the ugly truth, and I am sharing it with you right now. Well, the title exposes it: sharing interesting things is hard. It’s very weird, really, because when I share with someone the stuff I found, it’s not as interesting as before ! Almost always, when I play a movie or the song while introducing about it super-enthusiastically, I will feel that the movie or the ...

Origami Extreme - Part 08!!!

By
The other day, I came to watch some of my friends performing in the play called The Birds, and it was really fun! So I decided to make another Origami collection; this time it’s about birds – small birds which (supposedly) are all nice and peaceful. Anyway, I love things that fly. Talking about Origami, I now find myself avoiding overly-complicated models each of which would take days to complete. Instead, I’d go for fairly simple ones which are fast to make and still look really nice. That’s why I like more and more the models of John Montroll: really efficient.   PART 08: THE LITTLE BIRD   CURLEW by Tom Defoirdt – I had no idea that a curlew was. I had fun time folding it nonetheless. EXTINCT BIRD by Nicolas Terry – Mr. Terry always creates unique models. This “bird” was the most challenging for me in this collection. GORRION SPARROW by Roman Diaz – What?! There are different types of sparrows? I never knew! HORNED OWL by Hideo Komatsu – The thin...
