Journal Entry #5 - My First Ever Comic

I've always been a fan of comics. Whether it's American comics, Japanese manga, or Korean Manhwa, I always find time to sit down and read as many chapters as I can. Due to my really tight schedule, I sometimes find myself not having time to download a TV series, anime or movie I've been wanting to watch. That's why if it has a graphic novel or comic equivalent, I won't hesitate to read through that instead. It's faster to read through a few chapters of manga, than watch a 20-25 minute or so episode that's actually tackles almost the same amount of content.

So I thought "why not try making one"? And so I did. This is just mini-version though. I want to practice my art and story making with these little comic strips. When I think I've already had enough experience and skill to draw a manga, with story arcs and all, that's when I'll officially start. But for me, this is an important step in achieving my goals as an artist.

Journal Entry #4.2 - Thank Goodness for Neurogenesis

As a night person who rarely gets sleep and experiences a whole lot of sleep deprivation, not to mention the stress I go through, it's pretty much a given that I killed a whole lot of my brain cells, aka neurons. Back at elementary, the science textbooks say that once a neuron dies, that's it, it won't ever regenerate. As a person who values intelligence, I shudder at the thought of becoming less and less intelligent as I lose more sleep. But apparently, the brain can actually repair itself and form new neurons in a process called Neurogenesis. Thanks to that, I still have hope of regaining my lost grey matter. 

Journal Entry #4.1 - Some Changes

Hello everyone! Because I will be busier in the next few weeks, I will now be publishing major blog entries only once a month. This is to ensure that I can prioritize my day job and maintain (or improve) the quality of my major blog entries. Thanks for the understanding!
