January 6th: New Project*?
Wow, so much going on while I was away~ Whew, had the shortest
winter break ever and am back at school, currently jet-lagged and
kind of staring blankly at the screen, wondering if I can go to
sleep yet.
Mona-chan, I got your e-mail~ Wow, you guys are so organized and
all, so formal. I'm impressed. ^^ Of course you have my
permission... Haha... probably didn't even have to bother to ask. It
sounds like a great idea. Tell me if you guys need any input from
me. Sigh. Though it's embarrassing to admit, sometimes I have
trouble keeping track of the chapters myself. Too many, nee? Then
again, I need to retain future chapter plotlines in my head... Don't
have it written down at all (used to, but not anymore.) Wonder what
will happen if I got struck by lightening and lost my memory. ^^
Anyway,I know I'm writing at a super-slow rate, but expect the pace
to pick up as the end of arc 3 approaches. ^^ You guys are all so
wonderful. Hehe...

Happy Lunar New Year + Chapter 49.5 up
Whew, it's been a long time, huh... This was supposed to be a

Last semester was simply exhausting and miserable... moral of the

Well, Chapter 49.5 is up... ^^
http://wishluv.revolutionhosting.net/nt49_5.htm
this chapter is just a light-hearted, sugary one... we all need some
cheering up in the bleak long winter.
What apologies can I give... Btw, i wonder if it's global warming,
but the weather lately has been so unstable. haha. which is why i
caught a cold again... everybody, health is most important! i'm
having troubles breathing right now, so i'm not writing very

Either way, I wish the New Trials Ring the best of tidings for the
New Year.

PS. Don't catch a cold... Contrary to Touya-kun's recipe, milk is

March 7th: Languages in CCS
Hehe... This is a very interesting topic... ah the era of
globalization. I just couldn't resist responding since I have
several minutes before going to the gym. (Yes, I've reformed this
year and have been going to the gym daily.) Seriously, almost all my
friends are trilingual... it's scary how everybody's so proficient
at language these days.
Personally, I think Syaoran is just showing his disrespect for
people when he speaks without honorifics... he did have a very anti-
social, rude personality coming into Japan for the first time.
Hmm... I never thought about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if
Meilin is better at languages than Syaoran. She IS competitive...
Speaking of which, wow, that's why she's compatible w/ Kai...
They're both multilingual. (I feel sorry for Meilin too... she's a
hardworker, if nothing else... There must be something she is better
at than everyone else... hmm... ) I bet Wei was Syaoran's Japanese
tutor- That is why he always speaks to Syaoran in Japanese, so that
he can practice his fluency.
Syaoran in Tsubasa is a lot more respectful, nee? That's why I don't
really think of the two Syaorans as the same character. Rather, it's
like Syaoran in TRC is what Syaoran in CCS could have been if he met
Sakura earlier on in his life... I love CCS Syaoran because he is
such a grouchy, rude kid in the beginning. Off topic, but I LOVE
Kajiura Yuki, composer for the TRC OST... haven't watched/read much
of TRC, but I listen to the soundtrack... it's gorgeous. whew,
hopefully I can get more time to actually catch up on TRC some
time... Speaking of which, does anyone know about Kobato, CLAMP's
latest manga? I saw some of the cover art, and it's SOOO cute... she
almost looks like an older Sakura w/ long hair. I don't think it's
being continued though. >.<
Speaking of which, you would think people in Hong Kong would be
proficient at English since it was a former British colony. (I mean,
the general population, not international school students or
exchange students or whatnot.) Noo... It was a big mistake for me to
think so when I went to Hong Kong a couple years ago. Nobody spoke
good English. >.< BTW, I loved Hong Kong... I kept looking around
thinking I might see Syaoran's house somewhere. ^^ Anyway, I did a
lot of resource gathering while I was there for a week.
Anyway, I'm going back into hiding... ^^

November 2nd: Thank you
Thanks everyone for all your birthday wishes... sniffles. I was really
touched even if I was lamenting because I'm getting older. Also,
belated Happy Halloween everyone. In the light of Halloween, I added a
rough sketch in the File section under "Wish-chan's Illustration"
folder. It's just a rough sketch of Syaoran holding Sakura's hand in
their battle outfit, and just a l'il present for the Yahoo group. I
don't particular like it that much, but it's the only one I have at
hand right now to post, aka non-spoiler fanart. I realized I have so
few pictures of the two in actual battle costume. Sakura's hair looks
short in the picture, but actually, it's because it's up in a bun in a
style similar to what she used to wear when she was in elementary. It's
just a fluffy pic to contrast with the recent darker events.
I'm probably 80% done with the next chapter, and I'll have a little
surprise to go along with it. ^_^ I'm sorry I can't make any promises
of when it'll come out yet. gomen... Stay warm everyone and best wishes
for November!

November 5th: Subaru fanart
Let's see how long I can keep this fanart-a-week pace up... not long
probably. lol... But I thought each character deserves at least one pic
of them. This one is of Su-chan... sniffles. I'm sorry to say his
character design is meant to be reminiscent of a chibi-Syaoran... Kind
of a cheeky brat. Poor usagi-chan.
Anyway, it's under Wish-chan Art... Enjoy!
November 6th: Young Touya and Sakura fanart
I guess I've sort of taken to drawing kids in the past two days... I
go through periods of art styles... I was in the realistic stage in
college, but now I'm sort of back in the anime-style for now.
Anyway, this time it is turn to do Touya, the number one brother in
the world, some justice. I realize I haven't posted a single picture
of him; it's quite sad, actually, because Touya would have been my
favorite male character if Syaoran hadn't waltzed into CCS. Either
way, this is a rough sketch of young Sakura and young Touya. I was
quite taken by the "Sakura and the Calendar of Memories" (or
whatever it was called) episode, where young Touya is shown playing
the organ with Nadeshiko. He was a cutie back then. When I think of
two guys trying to raise a little girl, my heart breaks. Like young
Touya brushing Sakura's hair, picking out dresses for her, dressing
her, feeding her... I always wanted a brother like Touya. ^_^
So, the story behind this fanart is:
Touya (current day): Kaijou, you used to be such a sweet baby... Who
knew...
Sakura-chan: Who knew what?
Touya: Who knew you'd grow up to be such and OGRE!
Sakura-chan: Onii-chan baka!
Answering Kirei Blossom's question, I also realized that I called Su-
chan 5 but later changed it to 7. I didn't really decide upon Su-
chan's age when I started writing, so I think I wanted him to look
in the 5-7 age group... He's probably 6 when he is first introduced,
but he's 7 towards the end of Arc 3; sorry for the confusion!
December 4th: Astrology in CCS
Oh my gosh, Kirei Blossom, I don't particularly follow astrology
that much but reading the Cancer details made me crack up so much.
As you pointed out, Syaoran is SUCH a typical Cancer. LOL.
"They are too easily influenced by those they love and admire, and
swayed by the emotion of the moment. They are also loyal friends,
the negative side of their faithfulness being clannishness, the
narrow patriotism of "my country right or wrong"; and closing ranks
in suspicion and coldness toward outsiders...Cancerians have a
retentive memory, particularly for emotionally laden events which
they can recall in detail for years afterwards. they are strongly
governed by childhood memories and since they live intensely in the
past in memory and in the future in imagination, a chance meeting
with someone for whom they had an unrequited love, even if they
thought they had conquered the feeling, will easily rouse the
emotion all over again." and they're "sulky, devious, moody" ^^;
Haha... and "their own love of comfort and good living makes the
Cancerian an excellent chef or housekeeper...they are excellent
organizers with a good sense of value and economy which they may
combine with a flair for inventiveness and originality. The romantic
side of their natures make them enjoy grubbing about in places where
exciting discoveries may be made (old stamp collections in attics,
etc.)..." omg, how can it be so dead-on? lol
Sakura as Aries is dead-on too... Hmmm.. "At all costs you need to
avoid negative emotions such as resentment, regret and self-pity,
for they would deny you what is essential to your nature:
straightforwardness." Dislikes: "waiting around." This is fun. ^_^
Sorta PG+... I looked up Touya as Pisces and that cracked me up
too... "They are never egotistical in their personal relationships
and give more than they ask from their friends. They are sexually
delicate, in the extreme almost asexual, and most Pisceans would
want a relationship in which the partner's mind and spirit rather
than the body resonated with their own." rofl.
Did CLAMP assign birthdays according to astrological signs? As they
say, nothing's left to chance... smart CLAMP.
I looked mine up, and I'm a Scorpio. I'm not quite a typical Scorpio
so only a few things related to me. Ah, the highlight, "Their
feelings are so intense that even when their love is of the highest,
and most idealistic kind, they are nevertheless frequently
protagonists in tragic, even violent romances, "star-crossed
lovers". Oh great... >.<... now which of the NT characters is a
scorpio... (mwuhahaha...evil laughter) oh, and my ruling planet
Pluto is not even a planet anymore. @.@ Anyway, fun stuff.
December 15th: Ch 27 “More Than Friends” FanArt
Hi everybody! This year is quickly winding to an end. I have a bunch
of S+S fanart that I will probably update on to my site tomorrow. I
ran out of energy after finishing coloring this S+S fanart from the
last scene in Chapter 27. Anyway, it's up in the FIles section
under "Wish-chan's Art" section.I'll just copy and past the excerpt
that I will be posting on the site for this pic... because it needs
some explaining to clear up any misunderstanding. >.<
"More than friends," Sakura sleeping in Syaoran's bed
Despite the title, the premise is innocent enough, and we all know
that Syaoran is a gentleman. Nonetheless, this picture stand-alone,
without context is a bit...how should I put it... PG 13? It's
literally as the description says. Sakura's fallen asleep on
Syaoran's bed, as in Chapter 27 during the thunderstorm.
***
Chapter 27: Galloping Through Thunderclouds
She continued with a wistful smile, "I'm glad you opened up to me.
Thanks for telling me about all this. I always wanted to be a good
friend to you, someone that you trust enough to share your problems
and worries at any time."
A lightening crashed, and the electric light lit up both their faces
for a split moment. A distant thunder boomed outside. Instead of
looking away in embarrassment or saying something gruffly as usual,
Syaoran gazed directly at her, bearing her through with those
penetrating amber eyes. "Is that all you ever want to be to me?
Just a good friend?"
A jolting bolt ran through her, forcing her to look directly into
Syaoran's golden brown eyes, trying to search for any hidden
meanings. Abruptly, he shifted his hand out of Sakura's. Her
sweating hands dropped onto her lap; she didn't realize she had
continued to hold his. Breathing rapidly, she tried to digest what
he had just said. The rain splattered on the window, while the
thunder grew more distant. Every time she tried to say something, a
gulp formed in her throat. Finally, she began slowly, "Syaoran… I--
"
She gazed at Syaoran's head, propped against his pillow. He was
motionless, except for his soft breathing. He was sleeping.
"No," she whispered hoarsely. "I want to be more to you than just
a friend."
***
Ever wondered what happened after the last scene of Chapter 27?
Sakura eventually fell asleep... but of course Syaoran could not
REALLY fall asleep after what Sakura told him. So, he stayed up the
entire night, watching Sakura sleep. Somehow, Sakura rolled over on
the bed closer and closer to him, until she basically ended up
sleeping on his lap (much to his dismay.) In this pic, he's tucking
her under the blankets, and even if he wants to make her move, she'
s holding onto him so he can't leave. And Sakura-bear is
watching... keke... This is like a companion to the S+S Heaven
fanart I did some years ago, with Syaoran sleeping on Sakura's lap.
Please don't ask me why Syaoran is shirtless in this pic... I just
wasn't given the opportunity to draw sexy Syaorans, and I'm just
milking it at the first given opportunity. I have never drawn a
single Syaoran-pic to fan service myself. So just this once, let me
be. ^^;
A few other status updates...
New Trials New Year's Special (w/ illustrations) coming for
Christamstime... and I'm currently working on the next two chapters.
Sigh... And I'm finally going back home for Christmas for the first
time in a year.
Best wishes and good luck with finals/ stay warm and healthy!

December 20th: S&S’s First Kiss
I guess this is an early Christmas present? Nah, it's just due time for
me to have illustrated Syaoran and Sakura's first kiss on the train on
the way to Kusakou for the Best Couple Contest. I think it was Chapter
32~ Of course I would not have known that without Amethyst Beloved's
WONDERFUL summaries. Actually, it's thanks to Amethyst Beloved's
summaries that I've been inspired to do more scene illustrations
because I can reference stuff so easily; ie. the chapter 27 scene. ^-^
Anyhow, more goodies coming ^_^

thunder grew more distant. Every time she tried to say something, a
gulp formed in her throat. Finally, she began slowly, "Syaoran… I--
"
She gazed at Syaoran's head, propped against his pillow. He was
motionless, except for his soft breathing. He was sleeping.
"No," she whispered hoarsely. "I want to be more to you than just
a friend."

Ever wondered what happened after the last scene of Chapter 27?
Sakura eventually fell asleep... but of course Syaoran could not
REALLY fall asleep after what Sakura told him. So, he stayed up the
entire night, watching Sakura sleep. Somehow, Sakura rolled over on
the bed closer and closer to him, until she basically ended up
sleeping on his lap (much to his dismay.) In this pic, he's tucking
her under the blankets, and even if he wants to make her move, she'
s holding onto him so he can't leave. And Sakura-bear is
watching... keke... This is like a companion to the S+S Heaven
fanart I did some years ago, with Syaoran sleeping on Sakura's lap.
Please don't ask me why Syaoran is shirtless in this pic... I just
wasn't given the opportunity to draw sexy Syaorans, and I'm just
milking it at the first given opportunity. I have never drawn a
single Syaoran-pic to fan service myself. So just this once, let me
be. ^^;
A few other status updates...
New Trials New Year's Special (w/ illustrations) coming for
Christamstime... and I'm currently working on the next two chapters.
Sigh... And I'm finally going back home for Christmas for the first
time in a year.
Best wishes and good luck with finals/ stay warm and healthy!

December 20th: S&S’s First Kiss
I guess this is an early Christmas present? Nah, it's just due time for
me to have illustrated Syaoran and Sakura's first kiss on the train on
the way to Kusakou for the Best Couple Contest. I think it was Chapter
32~ Of course I would not have known that without Amethyst Beloved's
WONDERFUL summaries. Actually, it's thanks to Amethyst Beloved's
summaries that I've been inspired to do more scene illustrations
because I can reference stuff so easily; ie. the chapter 27 scene. ^-^
Anyhow, more goodies coming ^_^
