Sketches :: Totoro x Spirited Away

Spent the weekend writing some cards to send, and decided to draw a Totoro on the back of the card to someone who likes Totoro.

and then later I decided to draw a similar illustration in a new watercolour journal I bought in the same week...







Here is how it looks with colour!

Some incoming mail from earlier today...



...coming from Cxech Republic (x2), Germany (x2), Indonesia, and USA.

..

I mentioned liking Rumcajs (a Czech cartoon) and a family from Breclaw sent me this very nice card.



On the back of the card..



Other than that, I was surprised to find a second card in the envelope (!!).



It was an Alfons Mucha card (and the first in my collection)





and the card was unwritten too!

And this is my first stamp from Czech (I think this is a very common stamp)



...

Next is a Krtek / Der Kleine Maulwurf card from Germany.



Stamps on the envelope:



Minion bookmark and Die Maus stickers!

The other card from Germany is a Monet art card.



Stamps:

I think July will be super quiet as my Received cards have exceeded my Sent Cards.:O




On another note, I am way behind with this other postcard blog as I have terminated my internet subscription and only go online every so often.T_T (I am quite surprised I can live without the internet for some 3 days max!:O --- but as soon as I have exhausted my whole HDD of TV series to watch I will eventually look for it. Lol.=_=)

And lately I have started downloading japanese tvdramas again. Ones that I'm looking forward to watch are Ouroboros (with Ikuta Toma!!), and these other series starring Chiaki from Nodame -- I do not know his real name.:P

And also there's this other movie I've wanted to download a couple of months back but could find -- Hidamari no Kanojo. Now I found it and with subtitles! I like most Ueno Juri series (which is why I'm watching this), but I don't like the main Arashi guy in the movie.

Home-cooked Vegetable Pasta

On most days I'm super tired to do anything after work. But on some days I feel like cooking some pasta and having some wine. :3

This year, I have resorted to an almost 70% veg diet -- mostly because I choose it.

I eat less (almost less than 10%) pork than I used to, I have learned to eat lean chicken meat (I used to hate the lean parts), and less fried stuff. But sometimes the fried stuff are inevitable!! =_= I also don't eat chicken skin anymore since a long time ago (oh, but you don't know how much I love the skin!).

But anyhow that's not really what I meant to blab about in this post.

I actually made some decent all-veg pasta. Aubergines, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Thyme, Basil, Black Olives, lots of Garlic.:D



Was absolutely gorgeous. :3
