Happy New Year everyone!

I hope y'all had a fun and safe new year celebration
I had a great time during my holiday -well as good as it can possibly be with a family of indecisive people (so many sights to see yet so little time), unpredictable pair of little kids (my nephews), and weather, and limited budget -not to forget to mention coming down with a cold again (for the third time in 2016) after Christmas and mother nature practically gate-crashing the New Year celebration by cramping up a storm (or should I say "partying hard" *sarcasm* -if these weren't some kind of sign for 2017 for me, I don't know what is, ugh). Anyway, It was kinda bittersweet to be back, with some missed opportunities. Sure, there may be another chance, but with our current financial situation, I highly doubt it. We more or less kind of splurged since my mom was sort of eager to celebrate with family this year that we slightly extended our holiday for a double celebration (as well as take a little 'time off' from my insufferable dad, which kind of makes the moments we had during our holiday all the more blissful in a way and with one or so less things to stress about -pity it was short lived and time flew by so fast before we know it *sighs and internally groans at dad being...well, dad, and driving us up the wall in his own annoying way as if to make up for our long absence*).

Arg, I'm so freaking exhausted and sleep deprived right now. But hopefully things will settle down soon and I'll get back to the swing of things (drawing wise that is *side-eyes unfinished work-in-progress*).

'Sup, folks? I hope you're all doing well and staying strong during this particularly tough and trying times *hugs* Hang in there.

I'll be away from now until New Year at the latest, on a family Christmas holiday, and I'd like to wish you all Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - I hope y'all have a pleasant time during these festive season, and please be safe, wherever you are *huggles* <3 <3 <3

Take care.

I'm alive. Sorry for the radio silence folks (well, art wise I mean -I ain't a social butterfly to begin with). I'm down in the dumps to the point my internal clock went off kilter and gave me a rude surprise since since Bleach abruptly ended, but that wasn't entirely the source of my melancholy, life sucked, period... I don't know how long this rl shit will drag on and finally settle, so until at the very least my dad (who's unusually sticking around longer than a week; it's been a little over a month now, urgh) finally get his annoying ass out of the house, drawing is kinda on hold *sigh* Goddamn, I've so many ideas swimming in my head, and yet......*screams into the void*

Anyway, I just got tagged by Tiacchi and I'm bored and miserable af so why not...

As truly happy I am that everyone seems to get the happy ending they deserve after all they've gone through, the ending feels not only bittersweet, but also kind of underwhelming and unsatisfactory. Not only is my favourite character Grimmjow and some other characters are unaccounted for (though without a doubt they're definitely alive), with some of whom their return ending up being barely significant throughout the final arc, but also it's feels so terribly rushed and there's still a myriad of plot holes unfilled and everything else... and it just... sad that we may never get any sort of closure from it. Aside from that, it's still so surreal to me that Bleach has ended. There's no more seeing my fav characters in action, and a significant part of growing up with it since college for close to a decade, is over. It's just so bittersweet. I don't know what to do.

I could only hope that, if/when the anime continues on with the final arc, Kubo Tite would have some say in it and hopefully the anime will fill in at least some of the cracks that he's unable to cement over due to the pressure to get it done that may have compelled him to cut a lot of things out in the manga, either that or if Kubo would make a new data book that will basically give us all the answers we sought, but I ain't holding my breath *sigh*

Nevertheless, despite all it's flaws, Bleach will forever remain a special place in my heart.

Thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful series and lovable characters with us, Kubo-sensei!

Happy 15th Anniversary, BLEACH!


_{PS: Just to reassure some of you, yes, I'll still continue drawing Bleach.}
