    As you can see, I guess I just decided to "release" the buffer pages that I made out, and thus you have this flurry of updates (yes, 3 pages within 2 week is "flurrious"!). The reason being is that...well, there is no point of "buffer" pages since there IS no update schedule, which means updating whenever the pages are done, and there you have it.

    So, the next page might come in a lil bit slow...like...oh, maybe probably within 2 months; NOT 2 months but within 2 months (that means in less than 2 months, btw); probably tomorrow or maybe in a week, or....

    *ahem*, so the next page is starting from scratch, so might take....as mentioned above. And that is about it.

question, comment, compliments and flaming, etc etc can be done on the shoutbox to the left side...help yourself!

    Ok, Altho no one ever read this, I am going to spend the time to rant on here for a bit. As you can see, I am really taking my time to work on the webcomic... At my own pace.

    This page here is actually done about 6 months ago as a "buffer"...sort of, but apparently, the original intent lost its meaning. Well, the only reason I didn't put this up is because I never actually finished the word balloons, and thus, there, finished the word balloons and behold! there you have the page.

    Either way, continuing to update whenever possible, working lil by lil to achieve my own webcomic empire of 1000 page! and at the rate I am updating it (every 3 month, let s say) it is going to take me........244 years.....hmmm......well, that is faster than I expected!

    And that is that, so see you people (the 2 of you or maybe less... but then I can't use the word "people", so I am going to assume 2) in....3 months, maybe? :P no, actually, I can promise the next page lead time is less than 3 months!

Site revamped into a more simple design (sorta) and I will keep working on the comic...

Yes, i know, this webcomic turned into one of those starting out hopeful and kind of died out in the way. Well, i wouldn't say that this webcomic is dead, but I guess that it is in critical life support.

I did start out with big ambition and great determination about the webcomic; i thought i could kept updating and the notion of burning out never came to my mind. Well, apparently, Webcomicking is not as easy as it seems, and there was much obstacle in the way (yes, i hate HTML and web designing with a passion).

Either way, I will occasionally once in a while put out a new page, maybe once per month or so, and to the returning readers (yea, the 3 of you): damn, didn't thought you would visit this site again!

oh, yea, feel free to yell at me in the shoutbox there, i probably deserve it.

stay tuned, update to the site coming soon, this webcomic is alive! once again!

I am really sorry, but I need to take a semi-hiatus. Semi because I am going to shift the update schedule back into the “whenever possible” instead of the fixed schedule. The reason for this is because…well, even though I am no lawyer, I got like 3 different cases going on. One is for the prosecution of a car accident, another is for beating a stupid traffic ticket and the last one is some business issue. They are all kind of going simultaneously and with the added school work plus court appearance, I really have no time for a fixed update schedule (even though it is once per week). So yes, I am really sorry for the 5 of you who do visit my comic.

Yes! I am still on Schedule! And I blame the late update to ComicGen, which had a ridiculous queue. I am thinking on switching to some other places for hosting…hmmm…
Also, I thought it was time for a little bit of image change. Good thing about a comic starting with no plot and no story (yet); I can still change the designs and etc about the characters. Yea, as you can see, I don’t have much specifics planned out! Spontaneous comic making ftw!

Page 17 is up!

Yes, I know, I did promised to catch up all the pages owed by the end of last week, but apparently, I……didn’t. Shame on me, oki? But the good news is that I at least caught up by one page…maybe 2 if I managed to update this Saturday. So, assuming that I owe 10 pages (because I lost count) and also assuming that I stay on schedule for the duration and my rate of “catching up” is 2 pages every three months, then I won’t be owing any pages by……Q4 2008!! Ok, maybe it seems like a long time, but if you compare it to the time it takes to finish a story arc, it is like 5 years less! … oki, I think I am digging a deeper grave for myself, so I guess I should stop forecasting.

On a serious note, I will probably increase the rate of update sometimes in the future. Can’t promise much, but I think I may be getting a hang of this and can do it probably a little faster for each update.

Alrighty, I know I promised to update like 2 times per day (or something along those lines), but got something more urgent to do this past weekend. That is that I got pulled to build a PC from scratch. Well, it was my first time building a PC, so I took my time. Either way, my first PC I ever built is magnificent! The specs are (warning! Geekiness ahead): Asus P5K-E motherboard, Core 2 Duo E6400, Corsair XMS2 800mhz 2gb, Geforce 7600GS, and the rest I assembled from spare parts from my garage. Still, I think I overdid on the specs, because this PC will only be used for office work…heh, with a slight improvement in the graphic card, this thing can run any high end game you throw at it.

Oki, enough with the computer stuff, since I’m done building it (still feel so proud, the thing is running smoothly). Time for me to get back to my power-drawing…after I finish admiring the shiny colors of Vista Ultimate from the new PC…ooohhh~~ pretty colors~

Oh, yea, I also blame ComicGen for the lack of update, because the server is constantly down

The next week is final week for me, but really, it is just Monday, and the rest of the week I got nothing plus I got one week of break, so what I would like to do is catch up on all the updates missed. This time, I am seriously going to dedicate the 312 hours to work on my comic. Yes, that is right! 312 hours! Which translate to 13 full days!

Ok, maybe not 24 hours daily, but at least I will be able to churn out a significant amount of pages. I missed like…about 5 to 6? Maybe? No problem, I will pay back with double the amount (hopefully), but at the very least, I WILL catch up to all those missed pages.

For the next 2 weeks, I am going to be very busy with homeworks and finals. So...expect delays (MORE delays). I also noticed the size of the image files for the comic; yes, they are huge (300-400k). Now that I got a hold of Photoshop CS3 (got a cousin who does design) I can mess with it...or at least I can use it to compress my jpg files.

For those of you who don’t know, I use Manga Studio and do this comic digitally, because Photoshop scares me…very much. One thing I like about Manga Studio is that it is easy to use and lots of feature that Photoshop doesn’t have (Word balloon, paneling, toning), or maybe it does have, but I don’t know how to use it. The good thing about Manga Studio is that you can export it to Photoshop format, and I will be messing with Photoshop in the near future, so I may actually be able to color my comic.

Ok, yes, I know I haven't updated for a while, but that is all because of the Seedy Comicker Bar Jam in TWCL forums...it is a fun jam, go read it here, I have a few contributions. Needed to ninja slip the strip in before the time window closes.
Page 13 will be up very very soon, it is 90% finished, and just need some minor polishing and letterings, so expect page 13 maybe sometimes in friday or saturday...and obviously, page 14 will be once again, delayed (hah, i owe more than 3 pages now, don't i?). I think i might as well set the update schedule back to the "Whenever-I-Feel-Like-It"...but i guess i will leave it as it is, because it does gives a sense of deadline and It does serve as a "stick of motivation"

    Updates have finally resumed! Although I think I finally know what it means to have artist block, because apparently, I AM having a bad case of it. It seems that I can't seem to draw my characters consistently and also having problem with proper anatomy... I guess art is something that needs constant practice, because I seem to be pretty rusty with it.

    Either way, i think it is time for some power practice! Going to go doodle stuff up and hopefully i would get the feeling back before the next update schedule. If not, then expect delayed (or *gasp* skipped) updates; i know, i know, i already missed so many updates...i will somehow manage to pay back what i owe...yes, sometimes....somehow.

    And damn, this update thing is quite convenient, and i think i am starting to like it, even though i think most of you don't even read this...by most of you, i think i refer to the 3 of you who read my comic. Not that i am complaining for the lack of readership, but i have not yet advertized or did any kind of promotion for my comic. And the 3 of you who somehow found my comic either somehow stumbled upon this site out of sheer luck, or is someone i known in real life...or is on my msn list :P

    wooo! finally got the "news and stuff" up! This damn thing took some endless research of css and html reference site and thousands of forums lurking just to know how to integrate a "blog" to this damned site!

    either way, i will be updating this thing for official announcement. Speaking of which, I believe i owe about 4 pages of updates....I blame the ridiculous difficulty that it is to integrate the "news and stuff" into the site! (i refuse to update index.html everytime i want to say something, which is the easy way but very annoying). Ok, actually, it wasn't just the "news and stuff", but that this few weeks the schedule have been hectic; i had some deposition i had to go (deposition = giving a testimony under oath for court), because i am suing people! Another thing is that there was midterm and project for my school.

    Actually, the main reason for the lack of update is probably because i got the complete set of Groove Adventure Rave Manga :P (35 volumes) so it took some time to burn through, but it is done...so update will resume shortly, in a few days (hopefully).
