Last year, I accomplished a couple of my yearly goals like drawing more things and trying new places to eat. To look back at my year in review, please refer to this post. Otherwise, I did things I never done before like start a doujinshi, go to a concert, and get an internship. I met some new people through work, but I'm still not a social person so hopefully I can shed that kind of attitude. Be less afraid and more proactive.
My resolutions include strengthening bonds with people in the workplace, learning to work more professionally, and be less afraid in design. As someone who is so use to working alone for the last couple of years, all of a sudden team work becomes my greatest fear. Do I hate people? Absolutely not. However I can't seem to shake off that newbie aura on myself. Kind of like those timid characters you see in manga that are so afraid of their senpai and admire them from afar. Or like that guy who is picked last in the dojo. I can be a terribly difficult person to work with and I hate to let my team down because of my own mistakes. Maybe I shouldn't be blaming myself for everything?
This year I am looking forward to Kamijo's world tour. He has New York on one of his locations to perform so I hope I will be able to attend his concert. Most likely he won't get Madison Square Garden, but perhaps a smaller and just as respectable venue. I really wished to see Versailles perform and since their split, Kamijo is my only chance to get a portion of Versailles. I would love to hear "Love From a Dead Orchestra" played lived. Yoshiki promised a world tour for X Japan this year too. I would love to see them again and I have my fingers crossed for New York City.
I hope that I can travel this year hopefully back to the motherland. If time and money permits, I would like to take another long vacation to clear my head and get new inspiration. Looks like I'll need to write some lists.
I promise to continue more on my doujinshi JoJo's Bizarre Daily Life. The script has been written already. I just need to draw the panels. The story covers the antics of the three beloved delinquents, Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Polnareff in a world where Stands do not quite exist. Reading manga is one thing, but drawing it is another. I realized how much effort goes into the production of just one page and knowing that professional manga artists spit at least 20 pages each week is overwhelming. It takes me two to three days to come up with one page.
Watch out, restaurants of New York City, but mainly K-town. I am here to conquer you in my stomach. Yes, that means I will continue to eat. Food is my greatest motivation thus far and has made its way to become my top passions. I will continue to write reviews on the food I eat and on the food I make.
Finally, in 2014 I discovered more j-dramas. It's at a point that it starts to compete with my anime watching. Unless there's a new breaking edge series, I kinda lost interest in anime in a whole. I still got a pile of unwatched animes gathering dust in the virtual space. J-dramas on the other hand are always current and fresh enough to grasp my attention. I've been pretty lucky so far in picking good dramas and hopefully 2015 can offer me the same results.
Cheers to a healthy new year and let's enjoy ourselves!
Best of luck at work. (Didn't know you got a job, so belated congrats!) I find that the best way to get rid of the rookie aura at work is to just own up to it and get the hurdle over with. Only then will your mind be more able to focus on the tasks at hand and improving yourself by learning from mistakes. Then, the rookie aura will just slowly fade away.
ReplyDeleteI also hope to get some K-dramas under my belt over break. My To-Watch list is so long I can't keep track anymore.
And I hope your wish of seeing your idol artists come true.
