Since I haven’t posted a new Illustration, I’ll post this lineart instead. I’m still doing some finishing touches! 
Hope you like it.
Well I’ll tell you something about my life’s happening. You can say it’s already in the past but I’ll tell it anyway. It’s also for releasing my unnecessary emotions…
It was Friday, August 18, 2006. I didn’t make my OJT documentation on time due to my part-time work.
Although I finished most of it, I’m not sure if my prof will still accept late papers. Oh well…
It’s my responsibility. At least I know I can still pass it.
On the other hand, on my part-time work, I was transferred to a different workstation.
The PC I’m going to use now has enough specs to handle FLASH 8and Adobe Photoshop. I can work with ease, hehe.
Ok, time tell you something… something from my past. Last 2 weeks ago I was informed by my classmate that one of our classmates in elementary (and high school) will fly to China to study Mandarin for 1 year and before her departure, let’s name her KASUMI by the way; she’ll have her dinner party at one of the restaurants in Ayala, Makati on Aug. 18. Of course, since Kasumi is one of my good friends, I also wanted to see her before she leaves
(She’s beautiful and I have a crush on her when we’re kids, he he.)
Back to the present date, before I left home, I picked one of the A3 sized prints that I can give to her. I choose… The Medley Araizo print. On my mind I wanted to give her a print version of Black Magician Girl from Yugi-Oh! Duel Monsters but she doesn’t know that series so I picked Midori-chan.
Then the rest of the time is on the workplace, preparing for OJT documentation and some adjustments to my new workstation.
Then I left to office and headed towards the meeting place. I’m wandering around the meeting place to find the other peeps but…
They’re the one who find me. The ones who attended were mostly girls and I’m the only guy (there’s another guy but not our batchmate.)
We found a place to dine. It’s Bacolod Chicken Inasal. The place is packed-full so we stayed outside to wait for vacant seats. While waiting
I gave the print to her. Kasumi already knows that it’s my illustration. (Since it’s me, Jyousuke, he he. )
Although she already knew what’s inside that rolled paper… Kasumi still unrolled the paper and… she can’t help but just to get surprised and amazed. Kasumi told me I’m getting better and better, reaching the professional level.
Another one who saw my work told me that my work has life and more realistic than anime. I’m touched… I just said to myself that my trainings paid off very well.
But… despite of these compliments, there’s one thing I’m sad about… Let’s name her, SUZUME. It’s actually her character I created in the old times (I still have the character, he he.).
Ok but why I’m sad? Because… I didn’t hear any words nor comment from her even though she saw my work…
What’s the deal, Jyousuke? Well because… She’s the reason why I continue to train my drawings. When I created my first so-called comics, she’s the one who edits the script… IN HER WAYS! Suzume is very special to me. I even have feelings for her. But due to a very bad incident in the past (long story…), we never talked to each other again… even now. It leaves a hole in my heart…
Inside the BCI resto, we eat, the girls talked things about the lives, professions and… lovelife.
I’m a bit silent since it’s rude for a guy to barge in on a girl’s talk. Though I answer when they talk and ask me… then I heard something that caught my attention… it’s about Suzume’s lovelife.
But due to the girls’ “infrasound ability” I can’t hear it well. But, I just heard of a name, “JOBOY”. Who’s this Joboy?
I dunno… I have no data about this guy. I listened, and it seems… they’re not getting along well…
I even heard that Joboy seems to be “nananahimik muna” (it means… somehow… being silent for a while.).
I’m thinking about it… I don’t know but I just sensed… AM I THAT JOBOY!?
But I’m not jumping into conclusions. It’s just my hunch. And there’s no proof.
Then I remembered something days ago… Sho, a close friend of Suzume, (Let’s name her as that. ) phoned me and told that I shouldn’t communicate with Suzume for a while. I asked why and Sho told me, “Hmm… How do I say this? Well… let’s just say Suzume is somehow irritated on you.” I just became silent… then I said that why take so long? It’s already been 6 years. It should be history now… Sho told me that some things can be settled long… it can even take years. And also, she told me that my persistence became actually an additive to this unsettled past. I just became silent… and think… I guess… I’m the one who’s the villain all along… Worst, not even knowing that I am…
Ok back to present, we left BCI and walked long to another place. We headed to a bar (Can’t remember the name.) And bought a pitcher of some sort of wine (Can’t also remember the name of the drink.) They shared it (Can’t afford such expensive stuff.) and Sho asked me to drink hers because she can’t take the taste. I hesitate at first because I can’t afford to share the expenses but she told me she’ll cover it for me. Then I took the glass and drink it. It just tasted like a strawberry juice with a kick. Not that can make me drunk (I don’t actually feel drunk.) They talked about the JOBOY story and I didn’t hear it well thanks to their special ability. I’ve been filled with that thought even now.
After drinking, we headed towards Park Square 2. Kasumi has her car and she asked us if we want to get a ride to home. I shouldn’t come along since I can go home by myself… but Kasumi insists me, and also its past midnight so I’m not sure if there still buses to ride on. Suzume wants to ride on the front seat, but since I’m included, I’m the one who seats. She just goes to the back seat and went inside in a suspicious manner. (She’s very upset. I knew it. I shouldn’t ride along.) We guided Kasumi to reach the peep’s places. One by one they departed… Until Suzume and I are just the ones left on Kasumi’s car. I wanted to talk with Suzume but my mind tells me better not due to what just Sho told me days ago. After some minutes, Kasumi reached my residence. Before going out of her car I asked Kasumi to take of the print I gave, she replied me and smile. As I go out, Suzume also get out of the back seat and I also said goodbye to her. But she didn’t respond… she didn’t even look at me. She just went inside the front seat in a similar suspicious manner. Then they left…
I opened the gate door and went inside my house, towards the study room. There I started to open my computer and did some drawings on FLASH 8. Trying to forget what just happened… I ended up sleeping on the front of the computer…
I wonder when things will get settled. I just wish and also hope that someday, I can be on good terms with Suzume again…
Ok! Enough of the pain. Let’s go now to the other side.
I got some pending works like colors for Shimokawa Natsuki’s drawing, a lineart for a collab with Juruken and some scenes for my visual novel I’m planning to create.
End of Part 1…
