Japanese timely service

Image
I'm very impressed that the Japanese delivery man or repair man always come on time, well, most of the time! Really good service in Japan! 中文版請點(更多)→

Maid Cafe with two old maids at Akihabara Maidcafe Pinafore

Image
Well you'd heard of guys going to maid cafe and couples going to maid cafe, so I thought I'd write something special, like... "two old maids going to a maid cafe" instead... ...

Summer wear in Tokyo and Singapore

During summer, many pharmacies and shops would start to sell UV-cut products like leggings, gloves, hats, stoles and even portable fans and cooling sprays. I tried their UV-cut cool leggings to cover my ugly turnips but alas, I still feel HOT! 中文版請點(更多)→

Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival

Image
My friend and I visited a Tanabata Festival at Kanagawa prefecture to experience how Japanese celebrate this festival on 7th July (Sun). Chinese don't really celebrate this even though it originated from a Chinese myth, so I was curious how Japanese adapted this festival into their own. This place was quite far, a 100min ride from Shinjuku area.

Thank you everyone for your feedback & encouragement

Actually, I wrote the previous post to document my journey towards my dream in case I forget the tiny details in the future. I never expected my readers to be interested to read the lengthy post and feedback. Yes, you all surprised me, so a big THANK YOU to you all! ❤     (≧ε≦  )  And yes, I do take down all the feedback to plan out my first comic book to be published in 2013 or 2014!

I just can't stop giving up... damn.

Trying to pitch Evacomics at the Tokyo International Book Fair

Image
One of my professors recommended me to work for a company that he know well so he said that I should do a media kit to pitch my work. Embarrassed that I don't know what is a media kit, I quietly returned home to google about it. To my amazement, it is a booklet (sometimes with CD-rom) that explains what the company or individual do, including profile, reader demographics, work samples, etc. Basically the media kit/press kit helps the individual or company to pitch their services to another business (B2B). It's strange that art and design schools didn't teach this and I had to know this from a business school professor. I know the best software to design a booklet is Adobe InDesign, but I'd never use it before and I think it's about time I learn how to use it. So I searched youtube for a tutorial and picked it up within 30mins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaY3jWktT0w .Thanks Terry White and Youtube! So I rushed this booklet out within a week and printed it o
