Something extra about myself:

Passions: telling stories of others and my life through manga, comics, animation, fine Arts, I enjoy learning about different cultures, traveling, helping others, a good cup of tea and coffee(?) and spending time with family and friends.

Strength:
Time management- from the training of keep web comics going for more than 4 years, I can keep time spent on projects fairly well. I didn't need to do over night during my semesters, which is something unusual for an artistic college student, I am proud of it. ;D

Teamwork: I love working with people, through running online clubs like artists hospital to help developing artists I met many very giving, determined artists. Working with them is a great honor and privilage. I enjoy seeing other artists get stronger in skill and mind. I personally also have assembled a team of people for my own project. Even though I am unable to reward them with cash, their willingness to help me is unmeasureable, and very tolerating. ;D

Weakness: My weakness.... the most obvious is grammar problem since English is my second language. I think I am a bit paranoid sometimes having read too much about criminology. X_Xb That makes me rather cautious though.

Favorite TV channels: Discovery channels, National Geographic channels, Animal Channels. (Ironically, I don't want fiction based TV shows all that much.)
