This weekend I watched Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood from episode 1 to 27, even though I had some other things to do. The first part of the series was similar to the first series – Full Metal Alchemist, then the other half was totally different. It’s quite interesting to watch another version of the story. I read that FMA Brotherhood is closely related to the manga unlike the first animated series. Though, I don’t like the part of their jokes, even in serious battles they have silly chibi characters having tantrums, specifically Ed. That’s just my own opinion though. The artwork also differs with characters like Scar, they look older compared to the first series. The series by far is very interesting to watch, and I’m still craving for more!

Just this week, I started on the development phase of the new ChanLu Design, right after solving the problems on my local server. I also tested my recent code on DreamHost today, and it works! The application I’m developing is using:
- Ruby
- Sinatra Web Framework
- Datamapper ORM
- Haml
I’m currently filled with excitement similar to the anxiousness I had during my thesis days, just without the worries and deadlines. I’m already created the models, and I’m looking forward on the creation of my administrator panel for ChanLu. Doing something without pressure does feel better, but doing something with pressure and finishing it with flying colors feels more satisfying. So, I’m placing a deadline on myself, the application must be 90% working after two weeks, or better yet – earlier. I’ll be documenting my progress at least once per three days.
I ordered a Moleskine Sketchbook Large from Avalon.ph. The sketchbook arrived today, just after two days after my online order. The service was fast I tell you! Just enough to satisfy me while in my anxious mode. They are also very concerned about the purchases made from them, someone from the site called me at home to check whether I received the package. My Grandma was the one who answered the phone, since they called during my sleeping time – Morning.
Now that the sketchbook is with me, I’m afraid to use it. Maybe I’m thinking like that due to the price of the sketchbook, but I’m certain that after the first drawing I’ll place on it, I’ll make it into a daily habit.
