The Change

Hi. I know it's been a while more than a year and a half. I guess I just keep on coming back to writing.

I didn't realize how writing helps me a lot in so many ways. In the past few months, I’ve been wanting to write in this journal again. However, for some reasons, I can’t find the time to rewrite everything that I’ve been putting in some random notes or papers so bear with me for a little while because I will publish some posts that aren’t in line with the date.

The Change, as the title of this post says, is that I want to make some few changes in this blog such as the title of this blog, the look and some of the descriptions in this blog. I’ve decided to make this blog more personal than before. I want to share, hoping that in some ways, I would be able to help some readers.


Hopefully, the change would create a positive effect.

Finally! I'm back!

After how many weeks, I thought I wouldn't be able to write a new post again on this blog. Whenever I try to open my blogger account, I could only reach the dashboard page and then the other pages weren't available. It keeps on loading forever.

So I asked some of my blogger friends if they are also having some problems with blogger just like mine. Turns out, it was only me. :( Yesterday, I was deciding if I should create a new account or create an account with a different blogging website. Yeah, I was so desperate but decided to wait 'til September.

For the past two weeks, I kept on checking my account to see if it's back to normal.

Today is my lucky day!

Since I have a 4-day vacation, I would write a new post everyday 'til Monday.Currently, I'm trying to find a new template for my blog and I'll be writing a new post right after I have finished 'renovating' my blog.

I'm glad to say I'm back in the blogosphere. I really missed writing my thoughts and stories.

Just Sharing A Good News

A few weeks ago, I joined two blog contests (you can see it through the 'nuffnang' tab) and yesterday, I saw new mail indicating that I won both. I was so ecstatic when I saw it. It's my first time to join a blog contest, considering I'm still a new at blogging. So I'm writing now, hoping to share my happiness with you.

The first contest is about writing about some designs of a brassiere that would suit your fashion. The first 100 bloggers to submit in the contest would be the winner which is pretty easy but of course, I still wrote a pretty good post about it. This is my first contest so I took it seriously.

I thought I wouldn't make it to the top 100 since I took my time into writing this post. Thankfully, I'm still part of the first 100. I won two tickets of Man of Steel at Resorts World Manila: Newport Cinema. Unfortunately the location of the said cinema is almost a 4 hours drive from our home. Thinking that it wouldn't be worth it considering our budget for gas, parking, and our food, my brother and I decided not to go. :(



The next contest that I joined is the Schick Man of Steel Contest. We have to write a blog post, answering the question "If you had the powers of Man of Steel for 1 week, how would you use it?". It's kind of a big thing for me. Superman is my all time favorite superhero since I was a child and this time, they would choose the best entries. They didn't even told how many winners would be chosen.

  

 




So it took me about three days to write my post and then, one night I dream about the dolphins being massacred at the sea. It gave me the idea that I should right about the planet and animals that are suffering because of us. I don't like to be just exactly like what Superman has been. I want myself to be somewhat different to him. He's saving the humankind and I'm saving the planet which is really needed as of this situation (global warming and other issues).




By the time I was writing that post,  I wasn't thinking about winning the contest. I was trying to at least make my reader aware of his/her surroundings.

Thankfully, I am one of the winners of this contest and I would bring my dad since father's day is about to come! Yey! The prize of this contest is also two tickets to Man of Steel at Shangri-La Cineplex. I don't have much money to buy a gift anyway. Besides, I put much effort to win this contest and I consider this as my gift to my dad. Haha.

I'm quite proud of myself to win both contest that I joined. Imagine my joy when I saw this mail yesterday. :)) I'm so excited to watch the Man of Steel!

Designing My Blog

Hi there! I think I'm getting addicted to blogging. I know I don't have any consistent viewers yet. I've just started so I'm not really expecting much but I do hope that someday I would make a lot of blogger friends and subscribers.

For today, I just want to talk about designing my page. I got this template from btemplates.com and it was an awesome site! Do most of the bloggers got theirs on this one? There's a lot to choose from and it's easy to use. I saw a lot of templates that I want to use and it's all free! Right now, I'm using this template named OrangeLine from the Deluxe Templates.

A picture of the template before I downloaded it.

It has a feature where there's a slideshow showing your featured posts. Problem is, I only have 3 posts in total including this one so I decided not to put it for now. It was also great how easy it is to just change you templates. I'm starting to wonder how often do the other bloggers change their templates. Sad to say, I don't have any blogger friend right now.

So for the mean time, I would research more about blogging and know more things about this. Bye!

P.S. I love this app, Blogger-droid, I could easily create a post on the go.

The Start of My Journal

Hi. I've just started to create a lot of things today; create a Google + account, start a blog, wrote a lot of things about myself. I'm not pretty sure why, maybe I just want to share some things about myself that most people don't know about me.

I've started to write a journal about half a year ago until last two months ago. It was something that I need to do, some kind of requirement for me to finish before my vacation starts. At first, it was quite hard for me, I'm not usually a person who write things about myself but then as time goes by, I happen to like it. It was some kind of an outlet for me. That's why when I stopped writing, it felt like thousands of thoughts are going on and on inside my mind.

So, last week I decided to write again. I'm not pretty sure if it would be interesting enough for you though. I just hope it is, 'cause like I what the title said, "The Journal of an Ordinary Young".

I've wrote my journal in an old 2012 Planner with lots and lots of extra pages. I think it's actually a notebook with a planner. I don't know, not really sure. I wasn't able to use this one because I don't use a planner back then. I started to use one this year though. I just thought that using an old planner as a journal is like a camouflage. Somehow, I don't think it would be interesting to see a an old planner.

But just in case, I wrote my journal like this:





Sorry for the bad image quality, I'll post a better picture of these if you like.

That's not some kind of an Asian alphabet or something. It's a kind of Runes Alphabet and I've made some slight changes because some letters are not available. Before I started to write another journal, I researched some old alphabets that I could use so it won't be easy for someone to just read it.

Why the hell I'm posting my journal online if I don't want somebody else to see it in person?

It's like letting someone to just open your Twitter or Google+ account where you share everything yet you won't like it because it's something personal for you, but then again, you share almost everything about you. I hope it makes sense.

And this is where it ends! My first blog post ever!! I hope you would read my posts again in the future. (please?)

Oh! you could add me in Google+ if you want, most of my friends doesn't use Google+ so....
