So today woke up like any other normal day and I checked my normal stuff online like I always do. But I got an interesting email that just shocked me and surely made me smile. Theres alot of things in life you wont realize you do or you have done with the stuff you've left behind. I'm greatful for this person reaching out to me and telling me what I have done for them for them.
This is an email I have recieved:
( sorry this is very chessy but iv been waiting to thank you for years now ) Hi ... XD im not quite sure how to say this im going to try my best though( im sorry for the horrible letter im not good at talking )(T _ T) Im a current junior at Seamen Highschool my name is NAME CENSORED im all so pursuing anime (^ _ ^') (; - ;) Actually i wanted to thank you. See when i was still in jr high i toured the highschool and on that day i saw a red haired girl drawing the most amazing anime i had ever seen. I wasstill a newb at it and didnt really want to try and pursue it, because i was scared to. I never put forth the effort in my art. But when i saw her in that art class working, making those cartoons i thought,wow i wish i could do that. then i saw her art in the halls hanging upin the light. I hopped right back on the bus and went to the jr. highand grabed the nearest pencil and paper and began to draw as best as i could in the goal to become as good as her. ( im so sorry this seems really cheesy (T _ T ) and i think that girl was you ... (o - o) I saw your picture and thought no way it couldnt be her then etzel braught up the picture of your art work ... and even to this day ir ecognized the peice of art that lite that fire in me to go further then i dared to before. so... your the girl that gave me hope to do what i love the most.so now im pursuing my dreams and acheiving in art. when i finally got to the highschool i never saw you. you graduated that year. I looked for the one who did those cartoons but never saw her. so all these years iv been wanting to thank her.Thank YOU O'Neil taught me as well she rocks. She is still currently teaching hear at Seamen. Mr. Etzel showed me your site and it encouraged me to continue to pursue anime as a career. I was so in doubt that a student from topeka kansas could get out into the anime world and suceed, but now i see that you did. and that gave a light of hope for me to continue on. (XD) you probably never thought just one of your drawings would have that big of an impact but it did. It changed my life. And my perspective. Actually this sounds really nerdy but youv been my role model.I even died my hair red the first year of highschool (XD).And still a red head to this day (^ _ ^). THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU X GOOGLE I'm sorry again for taking your time I just been waiting a long time to thank you for everything and i love your art work im still trying to get as good as you< o w - > ( did i mention how cheesy this e-mail is ) ( O . O ) x3"

So today I got to go see my very first 3D movie with the 3D glasses included. It was a wonderful experience and exciting at that. After the movie got to walk around town and meet up with Ex-Boss and talk about a new business over a cup of coffee (Reminder I had a smoothie not coffee.) The meet up went pretty good, he told me about the business and openings that are available that I could be applicant to. But shortly done he gave me his card and we parted our ways. It was a hour long bus ride home which gave me a great opportunity to take photos of the city some of which I will post below, and all are posted on my facebook (Kya Hope Jigoku.) Today was a really good day, wasnt too hot, wasnt crazy busy but rather relaxing with still things I did instead of being lazy.

Its about my first week in Singapore, I got to spend Chinese New Years(CNY) here and got to learn some new things. So far theres still alot im trying to adjust to but I feel that im doing pretty well.
On my flight from KCI to SFI I had a stop in Denver but my plane was delayed flying out of denver making me miss my plane to SG. I had to fight with a bunch of people about getting me on the next possible flight, but I did have to spend a night in SFI at a airport hotel which was pretty nice. Will be showing a few pictures of that after this entry.
The next day I flew out of SFI to Seoul which is South Korea, when I got off the plane there it was snowing which actually surprized me a bit. The 13 hour flight from USA-S.Korea was pretty horrid, I got stuck on a side row between two people. Makes me mad when I get stuck to sumone next to the window and all they do is keep the shutter down but wont trade seats, so sadly I did not get any photos of the ocean while flying over seas.
From Seoul to Singapore was a 6 hour flight, which wasnt anywhere near as bad as the 13 hour flight from before. I arrived in Singapore about 1:30 A.M. on the 12th of Feburary.
First few days here in SG ive spent catching up from jet lag which tends to kill me alot (experience from Germany to USA trip.) The weather here is alot more humid then I had expected but I like it more then the dreadful cold in Kansas. On Feburary 13th and 14th I spent learning and celebrating CNY, there is a bunch of cultural things around the city during this time of year and pretty noisy too. One morning I got woken up by a bunch of tampurines and drums, still trying to figure out if thats better to get woken up by or my dad using the lawnmower and weedwhacker at 8 A.M.
Anyways, I got alot more things to work on and I will try to get sum more photos of the city to keep everyone updated.
