update blog

things lead to each other~

february 08 2010

This is random, but I've come to the realization that the fact that my elementary school friends encouraged me to make an account on this site, and I sent in a parent permission form for my Neopets account before I was 13 is the whole reason Sakuranbo is even here, and the whole reason why I know what I want to do when I get older xD It seems silly, but if I had quit Neopets because I was bored with not talking to anyone or the lame shop defaults, then I would have never joined that Di Gi Charat guild a looong time ago. Then I wouldn't have gotten interested in layout making, and I wouldn't have someone as awesome as my old friend Haruko to ask stupid questions about coding to. I wouldn't have had a reason to stay, and wouldn't have met all my supertastical friends x3 I also know that I want to be a graphic designer, all from this little site~ It's weird, how just doing one thing like creating a virtual account can completely change your future, ne? :D

(also, I might actually have had a real life if it weren't for Neopets, but who needs life? OTL )

dumpster diving~

february 07 2010

I went back to my old, really slow computer to try and find out when Sakuranbo's birthday is xD AND I FOUND IT 83
September 1st, 2007 was when I officially changed the lame name of Sakura's Graphics to Sakuranbo~ Except I don't remember when I opened Sakura's Graphics, at least a year before, I think @-@ But the sad thing is, for some reason the past layouts I made on that computer are gone D: Not that they're even worth looking at, but still~ I remember Sakura's Graphics' first official layout though 83 It was Sister Princess ;D
Ahhh, that was so long ago xD I wonder how many people even remember...

i'm in despair--!

february 02 2010

Geh, right when I think I might have a break from the explosion of school work, I started driver's ed this week =_= I completely forgot about this stupid class that I have to take for 2 hours after school each day for a month, that's 32 freaking hours of my life I have to spend learning about road signs and cars and blahhhh to get my driving permit. I don't even get to drive a car or anything- I just have to sit and listen to some guy talk and take notes. I reallyreallyreally am not looking forward to doing this every day, and this pretty much eliminates any time I would have during weekdays to update Sakuranbo because after class, I have piles of homework DD:

SO. MUCH. FUN. I think i'd rather hit myself over the head with a shovel.

so much to do @-@

january 28 2010

I'm gonna skip the apology this time, since it's all I ever do in this update thing anymore -kicks- xD But yeah, I missed a few days of school for different reasons, so I have more than enough make up work Dx

I'm also being pressured by my art teacher to design my school's coat of arms o3o Which sounds kinda weird, but it's something that they put on diplomas and stuff. I really don't want to do it, but if I don't I'll never be able to live it down, since it's a big deal xD So i'm not neglecting Sakuranbo on purpose, I really just want to sit down and make some lookies and a new layout, but I have no time x-x

yo~

january 24 2010

Hi guys, sorry for a lack of updates ;~: A few images just aren't uploading for some weird reason @-@ But some will be up today, whether my computer likes it or not~

I've also found a new drawing style of mine that I really like! Super cute~ xD It's on the computer, but it's still drawing, I guess o: What do you think? x3 you have to drag it to your address bar o: -pokesbelow-

i'm an idiot D:

january 17 2010

Gehhhh, i'm so stupid and never noticed that the 'site' link on the main page leads to the old page, with the old layout.
-HEADDESKHEADDESKHEADDESK-
I sweeeear I changed that with the new layout. Or did I? D: That bothers me greatly xD
Now what other mistakes of mine are hiding... e3e

distracted

january 17 2010

I'm working on that new main layout, I promise xD But my friend got me slightly addicted to this site called TinierMe (DARN YOU, SHINJU~ xD), and I'm spending more time on it than I should xD

...Shows how much I need a real life 83

almost free!

january 13 2010

My exams are almost overrr~ 8D The only good thing about exams is our school day is shorter xD Math is the only hard one I've had so far, and I hardly remembered anything, so I plugged the answers into the equations, tee hee~ I love multiple choice~ Tommorow I have history, which I might die in @-@ Maybe I'll just watch Hetalia for extra studying ;D

This weekend I'll go into overdrive, especially because Monday's a holiday ♥~♥

...Well, now I'm off to study about the decline of the horizon states of Tihuanaco and Huari D:

hello!

january 09 2010

OH LOOK, I'M STILL ALIVE~ Not that you all could tell, since I didn't update all week @-@ Sorry, but I've actually been studying for my exams next week -hyperventilates- My first one is math, and I'm scaaaared D:
BUT! In happier news,Kassidy's done some lookups I need to code, and I'm working on some xD And I'm doing some animated icons too, from Umineko and Higurashi 8D

Also, I saw the trailer for The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya. PRETTY INTENSE. It's gonna be a movie, which means I won't be able to see it months after it comes out on Feb 6. I mean, I'm still waiting for Evangelion 2.0, which came out in June, and Higashi no Eden movies e3e After the oh-so-amusing Endless Eight which wasted half a season, I need my faith in Haruhi to be reassured xDD I guess I could read the light novel, but still... DARN YOU, JAPANESE THEATERS xD

To finish my boring, pointless anime talk, NEW CODE GEASS AFSDSFGGAF. Too bad Lulu won't be showing up D:

death...

january 03 2010

Well, tommorow I go back to school e3e COME BACK, WINTER BREAK~! TT-TT The week after are my semester final exams (they give us a week to study xD), and I'll be really busy D: I'll actually have to study -gasp- for a few of them, and I need to get started on my art final project. SO BASICALLY, A LOT OF WORK xD I'll try my best to put some stuff up (and a new layout soon!), but don't get too excited -stabs school-

fireworks are loud~

january 01 2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! (* ∇ *)/~,'*
I hope everyone's holidays were good, and now we all have to go back to life e3e Or at least I do xD My semester finals are week after next, and I'm really not excited about that... blergh, I'll actually have to study xD

Well, we've got one layout I'm putting up super-soon for the new year, and since it's 12:30 AM I might get some more up later today =D I really like the Air Gear one, which is a first since I haven't liked many of the layouts I've made recently. The ironic thing is, I don't like Simca, the character in the layout 8D

can't think of a title~

december 31 2009

Phewwwww, I'm finally back home xD I'll be a good little girl and put up some lookies today~ I'm also working on a new main layout already, since I usually go through 3 layouts before I find the right one xD

In a little bit I'm going out to buy a PS2! （*´▽｀*）(...so what, I'm a little late, blame my parents 83) Eeeeeh, I'll try not to neglect the site too much while I'm off playing a bunch of new games~ If you know any good PS2 or Wii games, please let me know! xD (while I still have Christmas money to spend @-@)

oh noes ;~;

december 28 2009

I was sad to see that Enna's account was frozen! D: I really hope Maboroshi comes back soon...

-siiiiigh- I still won't be able to put stuff up til New Years, because I have to go to a wedding @3@ Yeahhhh, weddings and fancy parties aren't my thing xD

knitting is hard & little hiatus

december 23 2009

Eh, I'm sorry to say that this brilliant plan of mine isn't going to work D: It's too hard, and I'm not supposed to spend much time on the computer since it's my grandma's e3e But I do have a teensy bit of time to do a few lookups on my laptop, so I'll have those when I get back home ;D


Happy holidays everyone~! (^o^)/

leaving

december 21 2009

Tommorow I leave for my grandma's, and i'll be there for a little more than a week =_= HOWEVER- I did get a brand new shiny laptop! -squee- I've been spending all of today getting the stuff on my old computer on it so I can still make some layouts and icons there. I'm pretty much killing it by downloading as many brushes and stuff as I can, sine she doesn't have Wi-Fi and I can't download them on her computer. It came with Chrome as the browser, so I finally get to see how disgusting my coding is in anything but IE xDD I'll fix that....

not sleeping tonight~!

december 20 2009

Ahaaaa. I, uh, really meant to put some stuff up today (and mostly yesterday, sorry i'm such a failure e3e) but... I can't stop playing the Wii games I got （* ω *；） And I also wasted three hours making a messed-up panda scarf 83
...Forgive me D: Will one fail lookup pay it back a little, at all...? xD I think i'm just gonna go ahead and put back those codes of the ones 'being remade', since they're not gonna be remade super-soon...
A-and. I'll learn how to make proper icons and get some up, maybe hopefully ;o; I want to make some lookups that are not so girly, too xD Like, make them more manly... if I paste Kamina's head on them my problem will be solved -0-; -slapself- (If you didn't get that... go watch Gurren Lagann, dangit xD)

...NOW EXCUSE ME AS I GO DEFEAT THIS BIG BLUE DRAGON MONSTER THINGY :D

there's a kitten in my lap~~

december 17 2009

This is random, but don't you ever wonder who else is on a page when it says how many visitors are there? I mean, I always think, "Who is it?! Is it someone I know?! Are they gonna use something, or just came here from a link?!" or even, "Are they laughing at the inferiority of my graphics?!" ....ehehhhh. No. I'm not procrastinating or anything...
-shiftyshifty-

To make this somewhat useful, I'll try to add some lookups or icons before tonight. But that might not happen, considering I have to go babysit 6 kids soon... =3= Also, I love kitties, eheheheh~~

-slapslapslap-

december 15 2009

No updates in almost... 10 days?! Geez, please slap me DD: Sorry sorry, but my homework's just been piling up these past two weeks, not to mention I got some new Wii games (which is a rarity in my house xD), and well... I kinda want to play them *3*
But winter break's coming up, ehehehh~ Although i'll be gone for the most part, I can throw together some lookups and just code them at my grandma's house~ fuuuuuun.

too much work Dx

december 08 2009

No new content, sorry D: I figured I should at least be active in this update-thingy to keep things alive~ xD I've had a lot of work this week, including yet another painting that I started on Sunday, and rushed to finish because I thought it was due on Monday... it wasn't... I swear i'm never painting again xDD Also, i'm taking an online computer programming class, and i'm super behind ;o; Ehhhh, i'll catch up... eventually. I think I need a Photoshop class more than anything, to improve my lame-o skills @-@

Oh, but to make this slightly like an update, we do have some more affies, yay! ;D Andd hopefully some more lookies, if I get my lazy self going to finish the ones rotting im my computer (- o -)b

moremoremore!

december 06 2009

I added a few more lookups, (surprise!) Kassidy made them xD I really want to try and get Sakuranbo back up and as active as it used to be, eheh. I can't even remember the last time we were reviewed xD Oh, and affies and people using lookups, if you would replace the old buttons to the prettier ones, that would be nice~ Unless it's a hassle, since it doesn't matter anyway xD

On an unrelated note, I got some Soul Eater pencils nowww 8D They were at the bookstore... and I couldn't resist... ('ω') Darn, I didn't get a matching pencil sharpener though... xD

...I use 'xD' too much~

ya~tta~!

december 05 2009

WHOO, I FINALLY GOT EVRYTHING FIXED~! :D I found out what was wrong with the coding, it was with the quotes, but it had nothing to do with the images... xD Once again thanks to everyone I bothered, eheh~ Anyway, this new layout's by Kassidy, with a seemingly malfuntioning-Miku xDD Well, I added up a ton of lookups, some long overdue... most by Kassidy, since I've been so busy still e-e I made some spiffy-er buttons too, that look better quality, hehe. I promised more icons, but I kinda failed at that, sorry... I'm really not so great at making icons anyway... xD
I cleaned out my affies, and I want to add more, so please apply! :33 I'm kinda in an affie shortage xD Also, I considered adding more resources and stuff to Sakuranbo, but I'll tell you now that it's never gonna happen xD Sorry, but I'm entirely content with just lookups and icons.

If you find anything wrong with the new layout, I'd love you forever if you let me know xD
