to move or not to move

and so ive been thinking.. should i move my blog to wordpress or not??

Ive been looking at the stuff wordpress has and i personally think its cute.. not that im not happy with blogger and all that.. but i dont know, im really tempted to transfer everything..

Im really having a hard time to decide so im posting, just to get some help (hahah) and to try the "poll" thing here..

My CONS:

  • Im used to blogger already
  • I've finally, FINALLY got the traffic boost that ive wanted for soooo long. Its just now that people actually pass by and even read and comment on my blog, and ive just been approved at Blogexplosion (which by the way took ages!)
My PROS:
  • The themes in wordpress are pretty much interesting.
  • Its pretty much as user-friendly as blogger.
Just two-on-two...

*Just look a lil to your left and vote if i should or should not.. and comment on why you think i should or should not..

thought i lost everything

GOSH!!! *breathes deeply*

I thought ive lost everything ive blogged for the last how many months.... OMG!! *breathes deeply*

I was trying to put that "recent comments" widget on my blog and it does work with just the first part.. but there's this option where you can make it even better (which i dont understand what part of it'll change) so i followed and changed some codes on my html and viola! my blog posts were gone.. I backed up my template but it still doesnt show my posts (for some strange, freaky reason).. i guess i turned a bit pale because i felt cold..

I reverted it... and now its back... with the plain "recent comments" widget.. The widget is nice and most importantly -- its working (along with my blog posts! whew!)

Its true.. people dont really get contented.. hahahah so lesson learned? obviously, be contented with a working widget.. (or learn how to make codes work!!)

cheerios

tenth

Nothing too unusual except that my mind has been infested with lots and lots of plans and ideas and dreams... and its already making me tired..

I know its a healthy thing to have dreams and all that and it really inspires me to go forth and touch the sky but when it keeps swimming inside your head day and night and there are alot of different options it makes you want to lock yourself inside your room and be a bum for the rest of your life..

Maybe im just overly excited to join the real world and make my dreams come true... But i guess before that.. i should make decisions first.. and probably people from all over could help me with it.. Its always nice to get other's opinions and suggestions.. sooo here goes...

The dream. To actually travel all over the world and make a fortune out of my job (being a graphic artist / illustrator). Or at least have my work of art spread all over the world (that's such an unreachable dream for me as of this moment though)

The options.

  • Go ahead and get a job for two years to get an experience and carry on afterwards and work in New Zealand (as a graphic artist / illustrator)
  • Study in New Zealand before working there
  • Just work here til i get old
  • Just look for a job that would allow me to travel all over the world
What do you think?

my late year ender

And there it is.... Happy New year to all.. a fresh start for all of us.. and most certainly for me.. I guess for me this is more of.. "my entering the real world" year..

Of course i wouldn't let myself forget tip-tapping down the things ive learned and the significant events of my life during '07.. and here goes....

  • On life. It is really short and health is really very important.
  • On career. Well, i really really hate HRs really!! The company bouncers! It just isn't very ethical to me just cuz they tell me they are very impressed with my performance and portfolio and they wouldn't call back.. i wonder why.. is it because im still in school or is it because they weren't really impressed..?! Hello?? just tell me the fucking truth so i can improve on whatever is wrong...
  • On God. He's my key to success!! He is the very reason i passed my thesis surprisingly with flying colors, and i know without Him i wouldn't have made it!
  • Believing in myself. Had my very first exhibit with my friends and it was such a success (even if i was terribly sick that time). And during that time i never really expected people to acknowledge my art as a "wow" art but alot of significant people did and it really made me feel like i do belong in this industry (finally).
Im graduating this year and im off to the real world! its a fresh start and i do hope and pray that all my life goals and dreams come true.. im extremely nervous but very excited..

Cheers to all!
