I made this entry around late February and forgot to post it! Apologies!

School has been out for going on one month for me. For other expats here in Vietnam, it’s going on two or even three! Despite the stall in work, I have been finding easy ways to fill my time.

One is, of course, spending time with good company.
It had been a while since I spent time with great friends here in my home away from home, so I invited a few to a vegetarian place that I’m certain they had yet to eat at.
We had nothing short of a mini feast.
(left to write, sans bowls) “pork” cutlets, seaweed wrapped tofu, fried potatoes, boiled vegetables, mock “beef” (elephant-eared mushrooms) with pineapples!
Before I decided to go vegetarian fully while in Vietnam, I tried a local dish called Bun Cha.
OH MY LORD.
It is basically a noodle dish that features pork meatballs and this vegetarian restaurant offered a ‘vegan’ alternative!
Was it as good as the real thing? No..
Did it sate me for a while? You bet!

ONE DOWN! ONE TO GO!
I had the pleasure of finally releasing my work for Ciel Fledge yesterday. It has been a long time coming! I’ve said it a few times, but I hope everyone who listens (and plays) has as much fun as I did writing and scoring it!
PAST
The past week was me putting the finishing touches on Ciel and making my way through Gigabuster remixes and masters. That and, well, job hunting!
PRESENT
I’ve been coming up with different ways to, not just occupy myself, but make money! I have quite a few composer friends and colleagues that delve into the world of music library music.
I’m not really good with emulating styles I don’t like, so I’m using this time to create music for particular “genres” that are featured that I would enjoy writing for.
This week, I am finishing up a track, putting some touches on the GIGABUSTER OST, and patiently awaiting news on Journey to the Sun’s progress.
Also, job hunting!
FUTURE
Finish GIGABUSTER, prepare for a (couple) future projects, write a track a week, and..
…you guessed it…
JOB HUN-!
RUMINATIONS
I don’t have much for this section. One giant hurdle passed. Now I wait and hope that Ciel gets a lot of love so that I can continue working with Studio Namaapa!
I’ve been pretty fortunate to work with them and Josh over at thebiggestmissleever.
I hope fortune continues to favor me with work from other devs of their caliber!
