All i can say now is that I'm much happier. I'm living with my boyfriend and his family now. Finally away from my parent's suffocating grasp. Though the goodbye between my parents and I wasn't a very happy one. Can't speak to my family anymore, but my sister and I still try to keep in touch.

Lately just helping with Greg's family watching over his grandparents in the hospital. Though his grandparents can't speak english, they are still very sweet to me. I absolutely love them.

Right now I'm somewhat stuck in between finishing some drawings. I just get distracted and just can't seem to concentrate. Hopefully I can finally finish one and show it to you guys.

Finally moving on with my life...going to prove that I can make it.

Sorry for not really updating my gallery lately. It's just I don't have a computer of my own anymore. Let's just say my laptop met an unfortunate end from my mother's anger. Just because I didn't clean my freakin' room. But after that my mom's nicer haha. Though I still miss my laptop.

Though I hope to save up enough money to buy myself a desktop since my parents finally got me a pen tablet. I'm still getting used to it, but it's kind of hard especially with the very limited time I have on the computer...and whenever I try to practice my sisters come along and go "let me have a try!" Being the kind sister I am I let them. I'm too nice for my own good.

Good news, I'm almost done with a picture. It was supposed to be a christmas picture, but couldn't finish 'cause yet again...no computer of my own.

Anyways I'd like to wish everyone a happy New Year!!!!
