ALRIGHT I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO DO A BIT MORE SHAMELESS PLUGGING.
... except I don't really know how much of a difference it will make.
... O3O+ One can always hope.

Okay here we go.

Hetalia Cafe - Bianco Sweets
is a Hetalia-only event that's going to be held in Singapore. Main attraction is of course the cafe itself; we have several awesome cosplayers with us who will be waiting on the people who drop by as different countries in Hetalia =v=/ We'll be serving drinks and pretty little french/italian desserts (yes we will keep Arthur out of the kitchen please don't worry) and you'll get to chat with the various waiters/waitresses and just enjoy an easygoing afternoon. Hopefully. (oi XD)

Also the theme of the cafe will also be white-day-ish, so people who preorder tickets will get a special white day's gift from their favourite country O3O

Of course other than the cafe we'll have the usual mingle corner with a graffitti board and also a booth that will be selling artwork/doujin/merchandise and stuff related to APH.

Event details (all kinda tentative at the moment, but we'll fix it up soon):
Date: March 13 2010
Time: 1PM~5PM
Location: NAFA Function Hall?
Ticketting:
Entrance to cafe + drink coupons - S$15
Entrance to cafe + drink and cake coupons - S$20


We're still in the midst of getting everything together, but hopefully we'll be able to confirm details by EOY (December 26) in Singapore. , and (and maybe Hika too) will be giving out postcards with extra information for people who drop by their stalls. There'll... hopefully also be flyers that will be given out through the course of the event too.

Preorders for tickets will probably start around January. We'll keep you guys updated on that too. <3

Of course for people who can't make it for EOY, we'll have online promotions and updates too. OvO (and naturally, I'll be shamelessly plugging it on my dA)

The point of this entry then?
... I kinda want to be able to gauge the crowd turn out for that day so please tell us if you're interested and would try to make it for the event? OvO
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR A GERMANY/LUDWIG COSPLAYER WHO WILL BE OKAY WITH SERVING CUSTOMERS IN THE CAFE. QuQ;;;

Alright second part of the shameless plug.
Fans of APH in Singapore! (doesn't matter if you're Singaporean or PR or ... just staying in Singapore for a while)
We now have a LJ comm for APH in Singapore, so fans in Singapore can get to know each other, share art/stories/photos/news/stuff/etc. OuO Of course, any new events or updates of upcoming events will also be posted there, so it'll be a good place to keep in touch with what's going to be happening in Singapore with APH OvO

--> APH@Singapore

OK shameless plug over.

Ok ok so my exams finally are over and I. AM. FREE.
... god my HP was already at 0 for who knows how long I don't know how in the world I managed to survive in the past two months... but...
IT'S OVER. I'M FREE. SCREW YOU 2D AND 3D ANIMATION QAQ


S-so here's a late update for AFA and all that...
IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS SO BUSY TENDING THE BOOTH I DIDN'T MANAGE TO GET ANY PHOTOS AT ALL DON'T GET ME WRONG Q____Q;;;

So er... okay, I'll just have to... try and... do what I can without photos and images! OvO+ Yoshi!!!


First of all thank you everyone who dropped by the CDS stall and took a copy of our doujin home with you! >A< Please allow me to kowtow and bow down to you guys now. Here.


I printed 30 books thinking it'd be more than enough but by the first day 27 were sold out QAQ;;; (/touched) So sorry if anyone dropped by hoping to get a copy on day 2... orz I-I'll make sure I print more for EOY.
_{and no I was not surprised at all that my first customer was male. not at all.}
I'll be asking Secchan to print for me and set up a Paypal account so I can get those international orders going soon too >/////<;;; Ogod sorry for the long wait.
I personally think it's better for us to see if we can finish Yuri's story too, so you guys can get all three stories at once OTL

Due to some Tragic Incidents Yuri's doujin did not make it for the book. However, I'll be helping her try to make do during this December so hopefully we'll be able to release her story as a seperate book that you can either buy as a set with Kouya's and mine if you didn't get the book at AFA, or buy it seperately if you already have the book. Or something like that. OTL



Anyway, much thanks to
and for dropping by >A<///
I-I'm sure there should be more people I should mention but I cannot match face with dA account at the moment because I fail like that.

I didn't get to leave the stall much at all for the first day, though I did get visits from Epic Cosplayers and Epic Customers.
Day 2 I got to leave the stall for a while to scribble something on the grafitti boards and then proceeded to hog the mic at the joysound karaoke booth thing, then also proceeded to go high and forget all sense of pride and shame and danced to harehareyukai, twice.
Once whilst singing, once behind two people who were singing. >//////>;;;
If anything like that gets on Youtubeor something, I am denying that is me.

Because of Lack Of Money I pretty much just spam-grabbed 3 of Manda and Sana's USUK calendars... ahaha TwT;;; christmas presents for and when I see them in Singapore and Suzhou respectively, as well as moe fodder for myself of course. T/////T;;;
It kept me going for the past few days haa haa Q////Q <333


I'll be flying back to China tomorrow morning =w=~
_{Nevermind my limited internet access thanks to Nii-ni's great firewall}.
Ah glorious holidays~
Aaah glorious freedom!

+__+ Hopefully I'll be able to clear off all the stuff I've been owing people for a while. OTL Orz orz...

Some other things currently on Hika's to-be-done list:
- Start planning next BA Anthology Doujin to be released probably July 2010?
- Start asking around and planning other Hetalia-Related Events brought up by several different people.
- Plan some Hetalia Christmas... Dinner thing, probably after EOY.
- Learn how to sew a Mochimerica. Size XL.
- Get shoes and pants for EOY cosplay.

Okay obligatory shameless plugging of the stuff that we'll be selling at AFA this coming weekend in Singapore \OvO/

USA*UK*USA
Rating: G? PG? XD;;
Pages: 60

Collab doujin by Kouya and yours truly.
Two short stories based off the theme of "difference".
Kouya : Difference between Past and Present - in which Alfred hits his head and his mental state reverts to back when he was just a kid. Angst.
Hika : Age difference - in which Alfred sulks about the fact that Arthur treats him like a kid despite them being lovers now and tries to plan the perfect christmas date... however! (insert drumroll here) Bakappuru fluff.
Sample (Kouya) Sample (Hika)

T-there will also be this little chibi bookmark I'm giving away as a freebie for the first 18 people who drop by and get the book TvT;;; Just a little something from the bottom of my heart <3;;

Also! Due to popular<?> requests, we'll also be selling the Chibi Bookmarks we gave away at World Hetalia Day so if you're looking to completing your set or missed the event, feel free to drop by and get them too <3; They're printed on better quality paper O3Ob *shot*

Well so apparently I was invited to join this awesome little christmas event here ->

So after much internal debate and playing scissors paper stone with myself debating between BA or KxK,
dearest Santa, I would like to request for original characters Kale and Kaze and Curry, thank you very much. OvO
A-as for theme, feel free to do anything you like <3

(god Minou I hope you don't mind me putting your picture up for reference, I realised I have never drawn Curry to put on dA before orz)
--> Ref 1
--> Ref 2 with Curry

... I'll probably be uploading some quick reference sketches hopefully by this Sunday, if not Monday (15th~16th November), so hopefully you wouldn't mind waiting till then. >A<; stupid final project workload.

... and please allow me to take the chance to give a little personality reference too, if you need so. O3O;;

Kale Aerrons
Age: 20
Blood type: A
D.O.B: April 2
Height: 173cm
Occupation: Graduated from high-school with not-so-good-grades. Currently working in Kaze's (dad's) ramen stall (restaurant) as a... waiter?
* This is the red-head.
Favourite things: Food (especially chicken thighs/drumsticks), Money, Himself.
Egoist, Realist, strict believer of Kale-ism, and proud of it. Normally cheerful, outgoing, Mr. Nice Guy and moodmaker/conversation starter. Most people think him a cheerful idiot. They aren't wrong, completely. Beneath the surface a manipulative cowardly bastard who really tries to do everything for himself and only himself. Pessimist and cynic. Proclaims to only care about himself and no one else. Lately the equation has been changing but he refuses to admit it. Runs away from possible conflict and any form of trouble (literally and metaphorically), though sometimes you can try to bribe him with food or money. If the bribe proves to be worth the risk, will probably do whatever you tell him to. (in some ways he has no sense of pride and dignity in the face of good food and money) These few years, he's been growing up and improving a bit. Just a bit.
Usually seen with a stupid grin on his face. Deretsundere.

Kigami Kaze (rightful ownership to this guy belongs to Minou >A<b)
Age: 21 (22 by December 3rd)
Blood type: O
D.O.B: December 3
Height: ... (crap I forgot. it's around 175~180.)<-- oi ##
Occupation: Graduated from high-school, now working to take over<?> his dad's ramen stall (after much conflict, arguments, and refusal to do so). In charge of making the food.
* This is the silver-haired guy with the dead-fish expression
Favourite things: Games/Anime/Manga, Moe girls?, various hobby-collectibles.
Otaku. Has an obsession with collecting things and can spend massive amounts of time playing games or surfing the net, making models, etc. Improved slightly over the years with Kale bothering him constantly. Just a bit. Mr. I-Don't-Care-What-You-Think-I-Am-Free-To-Do-What-I-Want. Stubborn and hardheaded especially when it comes to his own freedom, to the extent of doing things just because people said he couldn't do them. Despite his rather cool-guy exterior (which is actually because he's just sleeping with his eyes open 80% of the time), actually rash, hot-tempered, spur-of-the-moment. Can do things without really thinking. That said, has a soft spot for people he cares about. Tsundere ore-sama.

Curry
Age: ...?
Breed: Shiba Inu
* This is the dog.
The stray dog that followed Kale home one day. Kaze took him in. Is now almost a mascot-character of the ramen stall.

Okay that being said a bit of an update since I disappeared for a bit OTL

1. Final projects are due on the 24th and the 25th, but I am aiming to finish both 3D and 2D projects by the 20th so I can go to AFA and not worry.
2. Exams are on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th. More reason for me to finish everything by the 20th so I don't need to die over those three days.
3. This means that these two weeks will be crammed with exam revision and final projects. Goddamnit I will survive. I might be more inactive these few weeks... but I think you guys already know that. I'm still stalking your stuff though. Just not really commenting OAQ
4. However this also means that I'll be free from November 25th onwards <3 See you guys then. >v<
5. I will be selling my collab-doujin at AFA. More information this weekend, probably. OvO Watch this space for updates.

Back to final project hell! (rolls up sleeves)
