Hello how are you guys????
I'm still alive btw lol
It has been 3 months since I came to Tokyo and became a freshmen in a university. So many changes in my life and I have been busy adjusting to them!  
So I apologize for my disappearance for months...and because I haven't been drawing lately! D:

So far life is going great.
Tokyo is a nice place to live...so many cute and weird stuff(?) available here! I like it lol
Even though sometimes I wish I had a less Japanese face cos actually my Japanese suck and no one ever realizes that I'm a foreigner before I start talking in english/broken japanese LOL SORRY
There are also times when Chinese students started talking to me in Chinese without realizing that I cannot speak Chinese other than "xie xie" hahahAHAHA

*actually I AM Chinese ethnically but I never learnt mandarin cos I never need to use it with my family*

At first I feel kinda weird studying both English and Japanese and use both everyday (cos my university program is in English and I'm also required to take japanese classes)..and I miss chatting with friends in Indonesian (there's only a few Indonesians here); but I'm getting used to it!
My English skills all came from my hobbies watching western movies, listening to american music and reading fanfics(?) probably lol
I can survive with English but I don't think I want to waste 1 year studying  Japanese intensively cos I still want to improve my English so yeah I enrolled to this kind of university program.

Also university is waaaaaaaaaaay less cruel than my senior high school so I pretty much enjoy my life right now. Finally hahhaha
(if you have been following me since 2009 you probably remember that I always ranted about school and science and shits around them)



It's winter now and christmas is coming soon aahh I'm so excited (although I miss celebrating christmas with my family) *sobs*
Btw Colonel Sanders also celebrates Christmas here.........lol



In other news, I WON WARNER MUSIC JAPAN'S GIVEAWAY AND GOT GERARD WAY'S SIGNATURE AJGFKJFDKGFDG
lol among all japanese fans
my god I feel so lucky because I live in japan also and became one of the 10 lucky people




It's just a signature but it's a big deal for me and also for Japanese fans.
Apparently MCR never held meet and greet in Japan...and I also never met MCR when they came to my country. I never even got to watch their concert.
America is too far and expensive to visit (I considered studying there but my family can't afford it, especially if I want to go to art school) OTL

ahhh I hope I can meet Gerard, Mikey, Frank and Ray somewhere in the future ;u;




By the way I still have some unfinished requests, even though it's been 4 months I'm still trying to find time to work on them one by one and I will finish them. (even if you already forgot about it lol)
I'm really really sorry for making people wait months.....but I want to let you know that I still remember your requests.
And if I haven't replied to your comments...that means I'm busy >.<

I can write this right now cos I just finished half of my midterms and I have no class tomorrow.

*this one is a wip from a month ago that I haven't touched again OTL

I just want to say thank you for all birthday wishes you sent me!
Sorry I haven't been on dA lately.
I think I need to take a few days off drawing cos I want to focus on preparing for my future university life.
The day I'm going to leave my country and live alone in a big city far far away is drawing nearer *sobs*
There are many irl things I need to take care of before I go.
So I might not do the unfinished requests for a while, sorry! But I WILL finish it.

Anyway, thanks for all the watches and comments.
Take care guys :*

UPDATE:
Since I've gathered 10 people, the request is closed now!
I will upload the finished pieces one by one to dA tomorrow.
Btw I decided to make this more than sketches (meaning I will do lineart+color the pic)!

I will reply to your comments with link to the finished piece. I probably won't upload them all at once cos I don't want to spam your message XD
Hope you don't mind waiting!



It's 12 pm here and I'm home alone with not much to do so yep
I'm currently in the mood of drawing MCR. Sorry guys, I don't open request for other fandoms/more general topic....cos I'm too lazy to search for references *shotd*

Okay so the first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a free sketch from me.
It will have to be about MCR or else I won't draw.
Write a prompt for me. (example: gerard wearing mini skirt)
I will draw anything: straights, frerard, waycest, self-cest, mikey x unicorn,  whatever as long as it's not NC17.

I haven't updated journal for a long time whew. Maybe some of you have noticed that I wasn't active on dA last month...
A lot of things had happened. Senior prom, farewell party with my close friends, etc...
And I also went to Japan with my family from June 20- July 1.
Just to visit my university and vacation. Stuff like that.

Anyway, I just want to let you know that I'm not dead lol
Sorry for late update. I already came back home in July 2 actually.
I'm still on a long holiday... univ will start in September and I want to spend most of time here with my family before I departed.
I can't wait to start living in Tokyo. It's going to be tough but fun. ;u;

Here are some photos (not too many).

My university.



Rilakkuma store in a dept store in Sapporo lololol
*unimportant* *but it is IMPORTANT COS IT'S CUTE(?)*



Linkin Park's new album.



I bought "Live and Rare" (My Chemical Romance EP). Gerard's drawing is so cute lfkgjlfkjgsglfdgjsdfg




I don't want to make this journal image heavy so that's all~
If you want to see my complete trip, just go to my blog and search in the previous entries haha. I still blogged while in Japan.
I even updated everyday with unimportant photos I took with my iphone lol

Have a nice day!

I finally graduated from high school
FREE FROM SCIENCE....

My school's rank in the capital city of my country:
Social major rank 1
Language major rank 1
Science major rank 2 (too bad! ;__; )

My school's rank in Central Jakarta: all majors rank 1.

A student in my school's science major got the 1st place of the highest scores earning in the capital city and nationally she got the 4th rank.

The national exam level of difficulty was HARDER in the capital city than in other provinces in the country so omg I'm so proud of my school and my genius friend! She's like, the only student from capital city who got the highest scores nationally.
I feel that she's the smartest in the country lol;; having won olympiad in international degree too....
omg I'm not worthy being her friend lol


This explains my feeling right now hahahaa



Thank god my lowest score in the national exams is 83 and I got some above 90s. I know I'm still considered as "below average" according to my school's standards but I don't care cos I hate science subjects lol
My friends have many 90s on their scores T__T

Premium members can change their username
SO I CHANGED MINEEE ;u;
You know, the reason I was considering to make a new account was because I've always wanted to use "vachuu" as my username!
IT'S STILL AVAILABLE YAY
Now my username is the same as my twitter and tumblr. YESH
SIMPLE USERNAME IS THE BEST


I hope my name is now easy for everyone to remember!

After the slots are filled and all works are done, I will open commissions again with paypal method (and with subbie again if anyone is interested)! So don't worry if you missed this.


Anyway, I'm still on holiday waiting for graduation and my univ life begins in September so I actually have more time to do things I couldn't do in high school days. Later I want to open commissions to help funding my college tuition and life expenses in Tokyo.
I am going to study abroad and since I don't come from a very rich family I will have to work my ass off for scholarships and part-time jobs in the future!
_{If I was a rich person I would have tried to get into some cool universities in USA but...lol I can't even afford to go there! (not to mention that art schools are DAMN EXPENSIVE!) And I never even stepped my foot outside Asia and Australia HAHAHA}
