Well hello Deviantart, we meet again...
Wow, 2 whole years... It's been awhile since I've been on this thing, only to see that its completely revamped...A little confused about the layout but I have nothing negative to say about it so far. Pleasantly surprised. A little upset that I lost track of some of my comments but those are easy to find...
Well now, since it is close to a brand new year, I figured I'd prepare for it by starting afresh, starting with a new journal entry. So hello, again. To those who don't know me, you can call me Gina or Ambi.
I am currently 24 years of age and I am unfortunately still as clueless about life as I was a few years ago. But I hope that over time I've gotten a little better at perceiving the world around me...Have you ever experienced one of those moments when you'd look back through your account history and realize how much of a little swot you were in the past? Yeah, feeling that. Sorry to all those people who at to deal with me at that stage in my life...I was pretty lonely...and very self absorbed. You were all very wonderful and very sweet, I hope you're all doing well out there...
But I plan to leave my mistakes in the past and focus more on my artwork and give this whole thing another go, wish me luck!
Feel free to stop by and chat if you want to.

Again, you don't need to pay attention to this. I'm just saving my old profile.
Hallo, My nickname is Gina and I'm a resident and citizen of the crime infested republic of Trinidad and Tobago!
Kidding, my country is in a mess right now though...
Friendly little tidbits about me:
I am 19 years of age
I love fan fictions, manga, animated movies, nature and apparently winged things. (judging from my favorites)
My favorite genres is fantasy/ supernatural, mystery /school life, fantasy etc.
My goal is to become a good artist, at least on the standard of those that are presently in my favorites...for now at least...
Life is but a dream, a dream is formed from life,
Never allow someone to say that your dreams are worthless because that is like accepting that you are worthless.
Dream On...
~ AmbientDays
My goals at the moment are:
To complete a 200 theme challenge by the end of 2014. ( It's the 30/10/2014 now...I've only begun the first one ,-__-,) (FAILED I will try again this year.)
To write a book ( beginning in November 2014 for nanwrimo) (FAILED)
To complete an illustrated children's book (completion date undecided...)
To do a 100 portrait challenge and 100 hand challenge (January 2015 *)(BEGUN) ( Hand challenge failed)
Improve my writing (200+ writing prompts February onwards...)

Begin reviewing art on DA (December) (UNFULFILLED)
To decide on a Career choice. (November) UNFULFILLED Chosen in January) Business Administration. Bleh, at least it has parts that I love...
Am I entirely incompetent?

Tagged.Again.
8 min read
Okkay, fourth time I've actually been tagged by someone, a little happy that someone considered me for it. ( Thanks ConfessionStand!)
Now let's do this!
1) You must post these rules
2) Share 10 facts about yourself
3) Answer the 10 questions asked by the person who tagged you and make up 10 questions for people you tag
4) Choose 10 people and put 10 icons in your journal (if you don't know 10 ppl, it's cool lol)
5) Not something like, "You are tagged if you read that".
6) You have to legitimately tag 10 people.
7) No tag-backs.
8) You can't say that you don't do tags.
9) You MUST make a journal entry! No comments.
10 Facts
1)I'm a huge fan of 'cult' or non-mainstream manga like Beck, Piano no Mori, Dance subaru, Hikaru no go, etc. I like those that make me inspired about life.
2) I like christian rock bands, some types of classical and dubstep music ( I only like acoustic dubstep mixes) acoustic music, alternative indie, indie, Calypso, "ol' time" Soca, slows, rock, reggae, pop, techno etc.
3) I am currently battling myself, the preceding victor is undetermined.
4) I'm a bit pessimistic but I believe in hope.
5) I love cloudy days ( Rain is inconvenient, sunny is way too hot.)
6) I love friends but I hate company.
7) I am currently renovating my mindscape.( If you want a little info. Its become like a little city. The main centre being this large green house. The green house has three levels. the actual greenhouse level, my old mental scape and an old bunker tunnel like thing. There's also a junk room for jumbled thought that always plays music, gets kinda annoying sometimes.
8)I am often bored even when I have a lot to do ( I have to force myself not to go to the nearest pokemon game, manga or anime site and do something productive, like draw, crochet, do chores or something.)
9) Sometimes I think part of my ego is broken, I can't seem to control parts of my Id. ( I know I'm wrong though...) ^<(Relate to this)
10)I cannot live without art, but sometimes "art" has taken a bit too much of my life.
1. What's the best dream you've ever had?
It is a dream bout a pier in the sky. there are multiple piers in the sky but this dream is focused on one in particular. A demon by lived on this pier with his father, he was kind of displeased with his life, then I think his father died because of an accident with one of the human carriage ships. After the debacle was sorted out the little boy was left alone, or so he thought, turns out a little girl, a bit older than him had fallen off of the ship and they were left alone together. The boy was displeased with her presence at first and ignored her but after time he grew more and more curious about the girl's actions. it was a start of a fast friendship and the girl taught him everything she knew about human life over the years of time she spent there. Eventually another carriage ship came along and took her back where she belonged. The boy lived alone for a couple more years peacefully manning the pier when peaceful cloudscape was disrupted by the blast of cannons, a pirate ship arrived and its treasures were not of the pleasant kind...and the dram ended there. I had this dream more than one. The first time I saw the whole thing, the second time, this.
This is all I can remember. I think its a great template for a story but I'm unconfident about my ability to pull it off so it will remain in storage until I hone my skills.I always felt great after having that dream though.
2. What color are your eyes.
Dark brown.
3. What's your favorite animated movie?
Too many although I admit I love secret of kells, I know the first lilo and stitch movie script by heart from the sheer amount of times I watched it as a kid. and I have a soft spot for Atlantis and I like Mulan 2. I love all Naruto and Ghibli movies except Porco Rosso ( Never had the patience to watch it out.)
4. What is your dream/goal/aspiration? (don't think about whether it's actually attainable or not, or realistic)
I want to do something to change my country and the world. It doesn't have to be anything big, but I want to create a butterfly effect, for the better.
5. What is your favorite time of the day?
Early morning if I'm able to keep my eyes open for more than 5 minutes straight.
6. What is your favorite thing about the earth/universe?
Infiniteness. ( If you want specifics then I choose the horizon. I love it when it turns the clouds red at sunrise sometimes.)
7. Who was your hero as a child? (real or fictional)
I never really liked having heroes or role models but when I was 7-8 I had to write an essay on who I admired so I chose destiny child (I had"Stand up for love" repeating over and over in my head.) I got told off by my teacher and mother afterwards though ...( she had called my mother in school.) Afterwards I became enamored with shonen protagonist's drive such as Naruto, Tsunayoshi, Sena and so on...I just like their way of doing stuff, I have little intention to emulate them, I just take little pieces of their lifestyles and apply them to the image of the life I want to live.
8. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
I have a few, mostly invisibility. I always wondered what it would be like, living as a specter viewing the lives of the living without them knowing. I've always wanted to slip through the cracks, never wondering if they cared or saw me, just so I wouldn't have to worry anymore about what they'd think...
9. What's your favorite song?
I have a lot but I'll put my favorite singers and then a few songs I love listening to.
India Arie
Marina and the Diamonds
Rascal Flatts
Natalia Kills
Owl City
Toumei Answer- Jubyphonic
New Soul-Yael Naim

Florence and the Machine - Shake it out.
Afterglow- Joydreamer
Siberia- Lights (Acoustic)
Singing Sandra - Ancient rhythms & Voices from the Ghetto
Colton Dixon- Never gone ( For some reason it always makes me cry, I don't cry easy for songs.)
Ras Shorty- Watch out my children ( A childhood favorite, it used to give me chills though...)
Amrita Soon- Box full of Memories.
You're Gonna Go Far Kid - The Offspring
Unbreakable- Fireflight
10. What do you like best about yourself?
... I honestly don't know.
Physically, I have nice hair and I like my eyes. I have no problem with my body beyond the usual health fitness stuff. Mentally, I usually find more flaws than likes but I guess I like my imagination and my soul, I'm not a bad person I just make a ton of stupid mistakes... Thanks again for tagging me.
How do you envision yourself in the future?
What subject would you like to be good at if you had a choice?(doesn't matter if you're good at it or not)

What is your worst? ( If you're willing to share.)
If you could bring out one thing from your imagination what would it be?

Ignites the Flame of Challenge.
2 min read
The beginning of February is right around the corner and to be quite honest I'm displeased with my progress.
I've started my 200 theme challenge but I've only gotten to no. 4 (and that was from since December)
I failed to complete my Nanwrimo book despite having more than enough time ( and no excuse can pardon that)
Well I still want to improve my drawing skills before I begin the children's book...Not to mention that I have to summarize the story and adapt a drawing style suitable to Japanese feeling of the book ( not to mention that I asked the author to draw that book years ago...)
I started six portraits on New Years Day and haven't drawn a single one since and I have not started my hand challenge yet. I promised myself that I'd start back the portraits after I had more knowledge of the skull but so far I've only drawn one diagram and haven't even tried to memorize its parts.
My writing prompts will wait until I get my own personal computer, (squee!) if i get it ( I find that after I say I'm going to get something, plans just fall to pieces) I will also try to complete my botched Nanwrimo story as well as my pending fan fictions that have been sitting there for years.
I've completed half a page from my references and the work is more than I expected...
I've put a hold on the entire reviewing scenario until I get more comfortable with giving advice through commentation.
Career choice is the same but I need to sign up.
Things just keep on piling up but I'll have to take things slowly, piece by piece.
I cannot say that I've ever truly worked for something that I wanted, no scratch that, needed (I mean the " work myself to the bone, so much that its the only thing on my immediate conscience," kind of dedication) and that needs to change. I've tired of seeing the passion of others and feeling empty inside because I never made an effort for the things that I love.
It's about time for me to change by picking up my flame, can you?
