It's finally here! I've been waiting for this book for the past few days.

*turn on book worm mode*

Anyway, this book is recommended by Oprah Winfrey and is one of the novels in the Oprah book club.From what I heard the author, David Wroblewski, actually took 10 years to finish this book! He sure has alot of patience. T.T

So all that's left to do is to snuggle up on a comfy couch with a few cookies, a warm cup of milo with this book in my hands. I'm a happy girl. (:

Off to read!

♥ The reason why I broke up with you, you idiot.

Yes, we've all heard about the stories of how horrible the other half is from sobbing heartbroken snot-all-over-the-face girlfriends as well as sitting in one corner drinking themselves silly boyfriends. Stories of how bad your other half treats you and you getting dumped, I mean just look around, PLENTIFUL. But today we're not going to be crying in self pity, today I'm going to talk about why I dumped you.

Out of my.. erm.. two handfuls of relationships, I'll have to admit I did most of the dumping. Here's why.

1. The "paste your face on mine" kind of guy

So I get it, oh yes, I totally get the want to be "as close as possible to me" thing. But seriously, can you at least freaking keep your face clean before attaching it to MY face? If you're have occasionally oily skin type, fine I might close one eye. But dude, you're the full blown pimples all over oh wait, when I say pimples I really mean volcanic erupting anytime type of aliens growing on his face. You know how disgusting is that?!

I really won't mind if for some reason you feel the need to attached your face to mine but I at least expect nothing, especially droplets of facial oil or pus (Oh god, please no.) to be left behind when you decided to you know, set my face free.

2. The "nnnnnggggggggggg" whiner

This annoys me to no end as well as makes me cringe and flinch along with the unbearable urge to stab you with a thousand knifes before smearing salt over you, all at the same time. If you have no idea what i'm talking about, here I'll explain it to you.

First, make a face like you're sitting in the toilet trying to squeeze out a huge dump. Good, now make the sound that you'll naturally make. Good, It sounds like a "nggg" right? Ok now lengthen that "Ngg" and draggggg it so it goes like "nGGggggGGGggggg~".

Now picture this done by a full grown guy, I'm sure you got my drift. One of my ex was standing behind me on the escalator and for a reason I can't remember what, he started to do that ngg thing with the shit face (literally) up to a point I was almost expecting him to stomp his feet like a kid would. It's not CUTE in any way and I guess it didn't help that he's also the pimple face guy.

I swear it took all my discipline and fear of the law to stop myself from just pushing him down the freaking escalator.

3. The merry go round kind of guy

This is the type that really drives you insane in an argument. *cue music: you spin my head right round right round..*

Here's an example:

Him: Where are you?
Me: Walking home from Hougang mall (which is 5 mins away from my home)
Him: Why you never tell me you go out?
Me: I didn't see the need to cause I'm only going there to borrow books and head home.
Him: Yeah.. but why never tell me?
Me: I told you I dont see the need to. I'll only be here for like 15 minutes only.
Him: But you can tell me what. WHY NEVER TELL ME!
Me: I already told you the reason.
Him: but still. Why you never tell me!
Me: * stab myself *

And that's the mild cases. Imagine a huge fight that involves me explaining 15 minutes? You get my point.

4. The EMO freak

I seriously hate it when guys go all emo and drown in self pity. And it's freaking annoying when they sit in one corner, not talking or responding much when you try to keep a conversation going and just look at you with those supposedly sad eyes, obviously dying for you to fuss all over them like their mum. *roll eyes*

I know what you're thinking, as a girlfriend I should fuss over them a little. But guess what? Here's how it normally plays out.

Me: What's wrong?
Him: Nothing. (looks down and away as though he's acting in some freaking drama)
Me: Come on, tell me what's wrong.
Him: Nothing, really.
Me: You sure?
Him: Yeah. (obviously pretending to smile before looking down and away)
Me: ok than. (annoyed)

5 minutes later.

Him: Why you don't care me when I'm upset one?

WTF. You tell me, ANNOYING ANOT?

This is getting long so I'll stop here. This post is done in good fun and is meant to laugh at ourselves. I really do loved my exes. *cough* Really.

Do comment and let me know which is the most annoying thing your ex had ever done or just laugh at what other people's ex had done. Have fun and take care. (:

♥ Drawing tutorial

Hello!

*Warning: Mad long post with truckloads of images coming up, if you have a slow connection do make yourself a cup of tea before proceeding.*

Today, I'm going to do a tutorial on drawing! In fact, today we're drawing an anime character. This is really just how I learnt to draw and I think there isn't any 'correct' way of drawing. And yes, I'm not exactly drawing like a pro but I'm just sharing.

Now, Here's what you'll need.

1. Pencils

I'm using mechanical pencils today but really, it's up to you which type you want to use. Make sure you have two different shades though. One should have a lighter shade which we'll use to draw and the other with a darker shade for outlining when we're done.

2. Paper

I'm using a cartridge exercise book, what I like about it is that it's not huge like a drawing block but the papers in it is of the same texture as those in a drawing block. You can use either one as long as the paper is of drawing block texture.

3. Eraser

Trust me, you'll be needing plenty of this. Plenty.

4. Print out of your anime character

Search online for a picture of the anime character you want to draw. It is important to print it black and white especially if you're a beginner. Reason is that it makes it easier for you to see where all the shadows are and the shade of the shadows in each area. The printout do not have to be the same size as what you plan to draw. You're not tracing so any size will do.

I'll explain why we're printing this out later.

5. Open up the image on your computer for stand by

You must be wondering "Why on earth do I have to do that when I've already printed them out??", well the reason is that if you have a shitty printer (like I do) most often than not, the lines of the anime in certain area will not be clear (especially when there's a complicated inter-cross section). So having it on the computer will help you in deciding where goes where.

Done. Now it's time to draw! Whooo!

The method I'm using is for beginners. Most of the time, we (beginners) cannot draw free hand. Right? And when we do, either the head is too big or the body is too big or one eye is bigger than the other. So to counter that problem, we'll use guidelines. Here's what we do.

I'm going to draw this anime character, Shana from shakugan no shana.

Now prepare your paper and draw a line in the middle like this. Do it horizontally and vertically.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Remember to use the pencil with a lighter shade and don't press too hard when you're drawing. This is because all this guidelines will be erased when we're done. Pressing too hard will make it really hard to erase and it'll look ugly with lines all around your masterpiece. You don't have to be very accurate with the 'middle' thing. Just gauge roughly will do as long as it's not too crooked or out of alignment.

Next, do the same to your print out.

If you noticed, most of the drawing will fall in the right half of the paper. Now, we do this step by step. Divide the top right box into more grids. What you do is really just draw a line in the middle over and over again until you're happy with the size. Do the same to your print out.

Here's what my printout look like.

Your drawing should look abit like this.

As you see, the guideline practically tells you how wide the curve should be and how straight the line should be, etc. Therefore, all you have to do is draw according to what you see in the printout. For example, 1st row 2nd box from the right in the print out should be the same as the 1st row 2nd box from the right in your drawing.

As and when you find that you need more guidelines, just continue dividing the boxes and do the same in your printout. The more boxes there are, the more proportionate and accurate your drawing will be.

Here's what I did.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

As you can see, I'm putting in more guidelines so that it makes it easier for me to draw. Of course, you dont have to be super accurate with the lines, gauge roughly and have fun.

Step 5:

Step 6:

Step 7:

Step 8:

When drawing the eyes, do spend more time on them. Make sure they're proportionate because anime do focus on their eyes after all.

Step 9:

Step 10:

Step 11:

Step 12:

Step 13:

Step 14:

Step 15:

Step 16:

Step 17:

Step 18:

Step 19:

Step 20:

Step 21:

Step 22:

Step 23:

Step 24:

Step 25:

Step 26:

Step 27:

Finally, all done. Now you'll need to clean up the drawing. Time to erase all the guidelines and darken the outlines of the drawing.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

And you're done for now. Yay!!

Now fill in the eyes and you'll get this:

Dont panic if your drawing looks abit weird. I know mine does. But the reason is.. you have not done the shading yet! So do on and shade in the shadows. For this part, you can use guidelines to help you if the shadows are big and nicely cut but otherwise you'll have to rely on freehand shading (is there such a term?). Once the shadings is in, it'll look perfect.

I dont have a picture of my drawing with the shadings because I was too ~~lazy~~ busy.

Psst: To increase my credibility that this method can work, here's a few of my drawings done in the past.
