Heya, it's been more than a year since I last wrote (or typed) anything in this journal... Haven't been doing anything 'art-y' lately, so this is just another random rambling, I guess (forgot what version number the ramblings have gone up to..), but it's a random rambling with a purpose (if random things could have a purpose...).

Aaaa, where do I start... let's start with the events that happened after my graduation from college, then (that is, after my last journal entry). Received a letter from the Ministry Of Health, stating that I've been posted at a small clinic near my home town. Nope, I am not a doctor ( I think I've mentioned this before), I'm a Medical Lab Technologist; I run tests on specimens, blood, urine, stool (not the kind you sit on), sputum (phlegm, if you prefer) or any pathological specimens collected from patients with various diseases. To go into it some more, I'd have to get technical and that'd bore the hell out of you guys (not that you're not getting bored enough reading this anyway..), so I'll just leave it at that. Working at a small clinic has its merits; we're only busy on some days and most of the times we're not.

After working there for a few months, I got married. Moved to a new house.

Then my request for a transfer to a hospital was approved. That was around August this year. Sure, a hospital is busier than a clinic, especially when you work in a Blood Bank (the unit I was assigned to, people call it a lot of things, 'Transfusion Medicine' and 'Immunohaematology' being some of them, but 'Blood Bank' is easier I guess...). There's always something going on, be it accidents, surgery or even birth, and more often than not the patients require blood. But I'm boring you with my work again... Sorry. Back to 'kitSIN's status update': So I got transferred to a hospital, it was at this time that I received another good news, this time from my wife. A baby is coming. Exclamation mark. Times 14. We've suspecting this since before I got the transfer, but now it's official. And I was grinning like an idiot ever since I got the news (well, grinning on the inside, anyway). I'm going to become a dad. Well, got a few months to go before it's due, and we don't even know if it's a 'he' or a 'she' yet...

So, the bottom line is: I haven't gotten around to finishing any drawings lately. Haha! Well, I might sound like I'm just using all that's been happening as an excuse for my own laziness to draw anything (heck, it even sounds like an excuse to ME...), but the truth is I've just been too focused on other things since the past year. I'm not writing this to apologize to my fans for the lack of (art)work produced this past year (not that I think I have any fans, just friends here in deviantART). I'm writing this to tell you guys that I'm still alive. I feel alive. Thank you for all your support all these years... I am especially grateful to those who have been dropping by, even during my long period of absence... If God wills it, I will be back with more work... Until then...,

kitsuneSIN,
