2009 was both a good and a bad year. Ive made a lot of progress in my own field (3d modelling) and of course improved my Japanese which is both good. On the other hand I lost both my grandmother and grandfather in 1 month which wrecked me. The thing I’m mostly sad about is that I couldn’t give them a proper farewell, especially my grandfather. It goes without saying that I miss them a lot.

I got to meet Faisal for the first time in real life, which was awesome. I had a great time! I heard he will be moving to Japan in 2010. He bought a nice crib somewhere in Tokyo Shibuya where theres a lot of sexy Japanese women heh.

I got my first photo shoot assignment which involved 2 friends dressing up as Maiko’s! You can find the whole photoshoot on flickr only for now, will up it to my facebook profile one of these days. click here

And other noteworthy things: Going to a Japanese wedding twice, which I have to say, that Japanese weddings are friggin expensive. More on that later. The moms came over from Holland, colleagues leaving my office, 1 day holiday at Maizuru, friskyRadio finally managed to get John Digweed on air in Monaque’s October show, friends of mine become fathers. (why all of this noteworthy? actually I dont know, p*ss off!)

But it has been a slow year on the photography front. Shame, I have to check more into that this year.
AS for now, counting down 5,5 hours left until NY. Goodbye 2009, I loved you, but I wont miss you.

Aaaaaand he’s back! As the Japanese would say, Hisashiburi everyone.

It’s been 5 months give or take if im not mistaken and im really GLAD to be back. Some new ideas for my blog, lots of venting to do. God I missed it. And this is all possible thnx to the one and only friskyGeek.com. Thanks alot bruv, I owe you big time.

I had to get a new url, since the transfer of my .com URL failed and it got locked by the effin registrar. For which thanks a lot you pugface c*nts. So im currently located on a secret server somewhere 10000 miles below sealevel. Heavily protected and….. ahh nah, just prolly in someones shed.

I am however very pissed off at losing ALL my data. I made countless of back ups, but apparently forgot about the database backups. F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah well, guess its time to start with a clean slate.

Lot’s of things happened in the time I was gone. Im still in Japan, loving my life in Osaka with the missus. Yes we are STILL married. Can’t believe she didn’t kick me out yet. I did the Japanese Language Proficiency Exam beginning of December. LEvel 3. Not sure if I made it. 3 parts: Kanji, Listening and Grammar. Im 95% sure I got the Kanji, 80% sure about the listening part, but the grammar I think I failed HORRIBLY. The results will be in in February so hang on.

And of course it’s ALMOST NEW YEAR. 1 day and counting. I have to admit I’m not to keen on celebrating christmas and new year in Japan as it just ain’t the same like in Europe or the States. But I do digg the Japanese christmas cards they have here (as you can see above) click ere and ere.

So what better way to start the new year with a new, well semi new, too friggin lazy to make a completely new design. Wish everyone happy holidays and an outstanding 2010. Im sure it will be a SPLENDID YEAR.
