Tocino-flavored bubble gum

I spent most of my day today with Pre. For those of you who do not know, this little girl (diagnosed for autism, just kiddin) is one of our Literary Editors. She asked me, after having our dinner at JFC (yes it's JFC), to redesign her Tocino-flavored Bubble Gum site. And so I did. I come up with this design. I only redesigned the page's header and I also did some CSS Tweaks. I guess it did not look that bad after all.

I can still remember the times (around 2000) when I am still ignorant in the existing of photo-editing applications. The only application I know is the MS Paint. Imagine me working my menus and buttons in MS Paint. The only "Formal" editing application I have used during these times is the Ulead Photo Express which is quite similar to the application used in the 'instant' Kodak Digital Print machine.

I was in 4th year when I first used a "real" professional photo editing tool. I bought this Macromedia MX Studio from the stalls in Ayala MRT Station. It was then that I was engaged in using Macromedia Firefox MX for my web and graphics design. (Improving ang graphics design ng bata). It was then also that I was able to grab several awards from different competitions involing web design in the country. (ehem ehem)

It was only in college that I find the use of Photoshop better.

Nostalgia, my old web site

I missed my old website a lot. Eto yung natatanging website na na-maintain ko ng napakatagal not until last year when it was hacked by some German hackers. Sinara rin eventually yung account kasi raw may exploit sa site ko kaya tinanggalan ako ng host namin ng rights sa account ko.

Eto yung ilan sa mga ala-ala at trivia ng namayapa kong website:

• Badsaintz 07 ang tawag sa website namin dahil ito ang pangalan ng batch namin.
  
• Batch website ito ng section Abad Santos (section ko) at Zamora
• Online na ang website na ito since 2nd year high school (2001) kami.
• Eto yung training grounds ko sa html, java script at nung umasenso na at natuto akong mag-PHP
• Busy ang website na ito dati dahil maraming dumadalaw. (e.g. site owner, classmates, friends, spammers, hackers, at mga nagpapaturo kung pano mag-HTML)
• Dalawang host na ang nilipatan ng site na ito. Una ay yung Geocities at pangalawa at panghuli ang DHost
• Uso dati sa site na ito ang picture of the month. Bawat buwan, may pinapakita kaming spoof or kung ano man (o sino man) ang maisipan kong pagtripan.
• Naka-ilang version na rin kami. Paiba-iba ng design at kung anu-ano pa.
  
• Maraming natutuwa sa mga post namin
• at marami pang iba

Ngayong taon lang na ito, nabura lahat ng files ko kaya hindi ko na narestore ang site namin sa huli nitong state. Nagkaproblema ang computer ko kaya wala akong naitagong back-up nito. Binura rin ng hackers ang lahat ng files ko mula sa host namin.

Nitong gabi lang, ewan ko kung anong pumasok sa isip ko at naisipan kong buksan ang Geocities account ko. Whoala! May nakita pa akong mga files. Nakalimutan ko na bago pala kami lumipat ng dhost, nasa geocities account ko pala nakatago ang mga files namin. Hindi ko pala ito binura dati para may back-up ako kung sakalaing magkaaberya ang aming Badsaintz Site. (hindi pa uso ang Flash Disk sa mga panahong iyon). Tuwang-tuwa ako sa pangyayari. Hindi pa pala ako hopeless. Medyo katawa-tawa yung site ko kumpara sa mga ginagawa kong disenyo ngayon pero at least ok pa rin yung site ko nung mga panahong ginawa ko ito. Sa naaalala ko, dito rin pinattern ang DOST Scholars na website.

Ayos, may mapagkukunan pa ako ng data kung sakaling magkaoras ako na gumawa uli ng bagong site. Eto nga pala ang shot ng lumang site namin.

Ang lumang Badsaintz Website namin

I got tagged! Six weird things about me

Another meme from my friend Jehzeel. I promised him I would do this when I get home.


"Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about himself or herself. People who get tagged need to write a blog entry of their own as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to tag 6 people as well and list their names. Don’t forget to let them know they’ve been tagged!"

1. I can't sleep when the lights are off. It's a bit ironic because most people can't sleep when the lights are on.
2. I hate cats. It's a fact. I had this experience when I was a child (yeah, when I was a child). I went down to our dirty kitchen at night to drink some water. Everytime I look at the window, I see those pair of yellow eyes which gives me goose bumps. I also hate the way cats sound at night.
3. I love mixing catchup and gravy when eating chicken at KFC.
4. I talk a lot when I am with my friends but I am timid at home. (really?)
5. I stare at people when riding a public jeepney.
6. I love to walk then eat when I am depressed. I call it urban hike. I walk from our school to a mall in the downtown area where I find a place to eat. And mind you, I eat a lot when I am depressed.

Anyway, I am tagging the following people:

1. Ayie Nobleza
2. Padre Salvi
3. Sintunado (Japboy)
4. Kuya Arthur Yap
5. Makoyskie
6. Wonderboy
