Mt. San Jacinto Travel Journal

So I decided to do an illustrated travel journal, but that was before I found out how hard it was to draw and travel at the same time. The trip itself was quite physically exhausting, but I managed, having an hour or so of free time each night. I hope you enjoy!

The cute notebook that we got from Korea. This is what I use as my travel journal.



Brave ~ Merida

I was caught up with everything concerning Brave today, and so I drew this. I've got to say, I'm quite pleased with it...  (^w^)

Movie Review #4 ~ Brave

So I finally got to watch Brave in theaters with my friends, and it was pretty good. It was a really nice mix of comedy and emotion.
What amazed me the most was the brilliant graphics. There was not a blemish to be pointed out throughout the whole movie, and everthing seemed so real. I was mesmermized by the detail of the clothing and whatnot...

So the movie is about Merida, a scottish princess who is simply tired of being a princess. She draws the line when her parents explain to her that they have decided a couple people that are marriage material. This is when she tries to change her fate. She makes a reckless choice when she meets a witch and unintended danger pops up here and there, causing her to jump into action and try to set things right again.

 I usually love all pixar movies, so this one was no exception. However if I had to point out a con about the movie, it was the fact that it was quite predictable. Meh. It was still splendid to watch~

Fancy Schmancy.

Why this random drawing? 'Cause I wore a dress today and I felt like royalty... ☆.☆
lol.

p.s. that's supposed to be a pinky sticking up over a teacup... it looked better in my head. (>w<)

Book Review #27 ~ The Light in the Forest

So this book is a classic, and I could definitely see why. The book was quite dated and you could tell, but nevertheless, I found it wonderful. The book was just so detailed and I could practically imagine every single scene in the entire book. So without further ado, here is:
The Light in The Forest ~ Conrad Richter
When John Butler was four years old, he was captured by the Lenni Lenape Indians. They took him in and Cuyloga adopted him, renamed him "True Son," and treated him as though he were his own son by blood. True son grew up with the Indians, eating their food, living their ways of life, worshipping their gods, and learning to think and fight like them. True Son had no memory of his childhood with his real parents, so as far as he was concerned, he was born an Indian and would remain an Indian for the rest of his life. But his peaceful, content lifestyle is overturned when the whites make a treaty with the Indians. The treaty required the Indians to return all their white captives to their original families. Many people in many different villages gave up people that they were close enough with to be their true family members. To the white soldiers' surprise, the captives were reluctant to return because they had spent so much time with the Indians and had become one of them.
True Son was especially reluctant, for he had been raised to hate the whites, but he musters up his inner Indian and tries to stick through this painful time in his life.

I found the book so incredibly powerful and moving. So I've been reading lots of happily ever after books nowadays, and when I read this one, I was brough to tears. I loved every bit of the book. I could feel the heartaches and the triumphs, I could smell the pine and feel the grass... The book was amazingly descriptive; it is a must read.

Can't Go Camping.

So this whole week the weather has been absolutely beautiful andthe sun has been shining, and of course, all of a sudden, the day that we decided to go camping, the rain comes pouring down. Everywhere. The city where we live, the city we were planning on going camping to - I mean everywhere. *sigh*

So Hot.

Ohmygoodness the temperature is spiking all of a sudden and I JUST CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT. D:
I'm really not used to rolling around on the floor in front of the fan. So different from Vancouver...
