			<title>Snow Time</title>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;At 6:30 AM Monday after the snow storm, I took a one-hour walk around the neighborhood...going down to the lake nearby. Took a few photos of the sparkly snow &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#41;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rest of the day til 3pm was spent building my giant snow bunny sculpture &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#41;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt; I spent approximately 10 hours on it. Very proud of my giant snow bunny! Wish he could be bigger...maybe next time ; ) I will write more about it later...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have a wonderful holiday, everyone.&lt;br /&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;I finally had a chance to sit down and upload photos from the event...and here they are!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;embed type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; src=&quot;http://images.fotki.com/flash/widget_slideshow.swf&quot; width=&quot;408&quot; height=&quot;245&quot; id=&quot;flashWidget&quot; name=&quot;flashWidget&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#000000&quot; quality=&quot;best&quot; scale=&quot;noscale&quot; play=&quot;false&quot; loop=&quot;false&quot; allowFullScreen=&quot;true&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; flashvars=&quot;dbxml=http%3A%2F%2Fpublic.fotki.com%2Fhungryviki%2F2009%2Fartomatic-2010%2F%3Fcmd%3DslideShowListPhotos%26private%3D0%26scode%3D86a20481d256024410c1ddbfb539600a%26cobr=0&amp;amp;ploop=enabled&amp;amp;stretching=false&amp;amp;fading=true&amp;amp;delay=5&amp;amp;disableUrl=true&amp;amp;StillWatching_ToContinuePressTheSpacebar=Still watching?
To continue, click here please.&amp;amp;DontBotherMeAgain=Don't bother me again&amp;amp;PleaseWait=Please wait...&quot;/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Again, thanks to all my wonderful family/friends for their support and everyone for their kind words and encouragement. I look forward to another great year at Artomatic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;white&quot;&gt;Current Projects&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm working on creating a few new watercolor pieces. I got a new watercolor paint set for Christmas and am very excited to use it &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#68;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt; I also have a few photography project ideas lined up that I'm looking forward to do...and also have a few sewing projects in mind and also am trying to get back to my piano-playing and continue teaching myself how to play the guitar. &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_razz.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#112;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hmm..in other news, I am enjoying this little snow storm we're having--Minus the bad driving conditions on the roads for everyone and some plans getting canceled. I took this picture around 3 AM when we had about 6 inches. We're now onto about 10 inches by now (it's 7 AM)...And I heard the snow is going to be even heavier tomorrow. We're expecting 15+ inches&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://images17.fotki.com/v374/photos/9/946537/6278216/IMG_6952-vi.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;snow&quot; title=&quot;snow&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The snow looks beautiful &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#41;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt; Can't wait to trudge around in it tomorrow when I shovel &lt;br /&gt;
(and possibly attempt at making a snowman) &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_razz.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#112;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm going to Vietnam in January to visit my grandparents! I can't wait to see them again. It'll be very busy before then, so most of my projects will probably have to wait until I get back. I will probably bring my &quot;nicer&quot; camera this time so I can take some good photos of my visit. My stay will be for two weeks at my grandpa's sister's temple in Hoc Mong, not too far from Saigon. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last, but not least...my wonderful friend, Sheela recently went to China to teach. It's something she's been wanting to do for a while, so I'm very happy for her. Before she left, she showed me some of her artwork and gave me some very sweet and thoughtful gifts, some from her trip to India. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://images21.fotki.com/v194/file4kcW/bb6f9/9/946537/6278216/sheela.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;sheela&quot; title=&quot;sheela&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One of her gifts was a sari, which I attempted to try on first thing when I got home. I promised her I would take a picture for her once I figured out how to wear it correctly &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_razz.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#112;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt;  And here it is!&lt;br /&gt;

Best of luck to you, Sheela! I hope you enjoy your experience in China &lt;img src=&quot;http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;#58;&amp;#68;&quot; class=&quot;middle&quot; /&gt; You are missed.&lt;br /&gt;

<p>Again, thanks to all my wonderful family/friends for their support and everyone for their kind words and encouragement. I look forward to another great year at Artomatic.<br />

I'm working on creating a few new watercolor pieces. I got a new watercolor paint set for Christmas and am very excited to use it <img src="http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="&#58;&#68;" class="middle" /> I also have a few photography project ideas lined up that I'm looking forward to do...and also have a few sewing projects in mind and also am trying to get back to my piano-playing and continue teaching myself how to play the guitar. <img src="http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt="&#58;&#112;" class="middle" /> <br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
Hmm..in other news, I am enjoying this little snow storm we're having--Minus the bad driving conditions on the roads for everyone and some plans getting canceled. I took this picture around 3 AM when we had about 6 inches. We're now onto about 10 inches by now (it's 7 AM)...And I heard the snow is going to be even heavier tomorrow. We're expecting 15+ inches</p>

The snow looks beautiful <img src="http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="&#58;&#41;" class="middle" /> Can't wait to trudge around in it tomorrow when I shovel <br />
(and possibly attempt at making a snowman) <img src="http://hungryviki.com/blog//rsc/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt="&#58;&#112;" class="middle" /><br />

I'm going to Vietnam in January to visit my grandparents! I can't wait to see them again. It'll be very busy before then, so most of my projects will probably have to wait until I get back. I will probably bring my "nicer" camera this time so I can take some good photos of my visit. My stay will be for two weeks at my grandpa's sister's temple in Hoc Mong, not too far from Saigon. </p>

<p><br /><br /></p>

<p>Last, but not least...my wonderful friend, Sheela recently went to China to teach. It's something she's been wanting to do for a while, so I'm very happy for her. Before she left, she showed me some of her artwork and gave me some very sweet and thoughtful gifts, some from her trip to India. <br />
