I'll be flying back to Japan tomorrow. With the recent earthquakes happening there, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared. I'm feeling pretty torn about this. I want to finish what I started and continue on to my dream, but at the same time I would also like to stay with my family so I won't worry them to death.
I listened about the people in Japan who are carrying on with their lives and helping each other out, because that's their country and they're their people. It's the only comforting thing about Japan that's making me want to go back there, hang out with my friends and classmates, have a great time and pray that everything goes back to normal
I've been feeling pretty miserable because of all this. Feeling pretty horrible for the victims of the tsunami, and immensely afraid of the possible nuclear disaster. I was supposed to draw plenty of pictures, get new ideas for my next animation project but my mind's been blank. Thankfully, I had a good enough rest in Malaysia and I got to play with my two toddling nephews a lot. They're growing up so fast! And my third two-month old nephew is simply adorable. My family simply revived me.
After a lot of thought, I do want to go back to Japan. It's like a second home to me. I wonder if this is going to continue for a longer time. Going to Japan to work towards my ambitions and coming back to my country to spend time with my family and watching them grow. I'm having a lot of bittersweet feelings as I'm typing this.. TT__TT
On a less emotional note, once I go back to college in Kamata, I'll ask if it is alright to upload my animation short on the internet. I could have done it if it was shown at the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2011 already. But of course, the event was canceled shortly after the big quake.
In the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and make a 'director's cut' version of it. There are some things in the sound effects and music part that I'm fussy about and I'm going to fix them behind my team's back I'll post likely submit it here in this gallery.

If you're wondering what is it about, well, let's just say it has something to do with not being able to see the stars (due to air pollution) and aiming high to reach for it.
