quaint melody

Just before dark, Mission Bay. click photo to enlarge.

Why does the sky seems so grey
Is it because of me
There’s no one left in sight
I feel the world closing in

Of all the places I’ve been to
All the people I’ve seen
People come and go
But memories, the memories of them cast footprints in my heart

As time goes by, I learn it’s all the grand plan of life
Of all the love and broken hearts
Of all the victories and battles
We’ll rise and shine again

Where have I been? Is this blog dead? Getting so sick of looking at the same post every damn time you came here didn’t you?! Well, I’m very sorry for disappearing into thin air during the past weeks. For some inexplicable reasons, I needed to have some alone time with myself. The most I can say is, life throws us a curve ball out of nowhere every now and then, we just need to deal with it our own way. Well, I’m back now, that’s what counts right?! So, prepare yourself people, here comes my endless bla again!

I would like to thank those of you who sent emails, messages and comments to me during my absense. Sorry for being non-responsive, but rest assure that I read every single one of them. Your kind gestures really touched my heart.

Life is a never ending journey, I go on one step at a time, dealing the hands that’s been dealt to me.
Still in the thick of winter weather, but spring is nigh.

From time to time, I check my sitemeter to see how people come to my site. And I found some unexpectedly funny ways. There are some who come to my blog via search engines. I noticed since I installed the all-in-one SEO plugin, that has improved a bit. Anyway, my site appeared in the normal keyword search like melody, friend, life etc, but there are some funny keywords that led people here too. The following 2 took the cake, look!

There were 2 people who came to my blog when they did the search for and ‘to mate wth a woman‘ and get this, ‘blogger with c cup breasts‘!! I almost fell from my chair when I saw that! Especially for the second one, ‘blogger with c cup breasts‘, I mean seriously?!! Apparently my blog came up for these searches as well. I think the 2 reasons that led to that were the bra-fitting article (with the word c cup on it I think), and the fact that I have a category called ‘WTH‘ (stands for what the heck?!), LOL. Well, sorry to disappoint those 2 confused souls ya. I think they must have left my site cursing because they didn’t get to see c cup blogger photos or info about mating with women. Heh. Sorry mates!

Finally settling nicely on WordPress with my new host, learning the code and trying to tweak the template a little here and there. After all, the whole moving process was really not that hard (Well, try telling me that in the beginning, dumb ass). Once again, I managed to stress myself over nothing…much. Heh.

I was thinking maybe I should write something about the whole process, you know, from day 1, but binned the idea since I don’t want you all to laugh till you drop. Heh. Let’s just say dummy got a lot of help from some kind folks and TA-DA! Magic happened. There’s a lot of kind souls out there people, all hope is not lost. Thank you all, who have been helping me and giving me advice and comments. I really appreciate that. Do keep them coming.

Have been reading a lot into how to better my blog recently. Like learning what is SEO etc, things that read like Greek to me before. There are lots of resources out there. Google is my best friend. My motto is, ‘if unsure, Google it!’ (I think this is the best thing since sliced bread. Sad really.) I’m learning as I explore more into the different facets of blogging. The possibilities are endless. Can not believe how long I waited and contemplated before venturing into the blogsphere. It’s sufficient to say that I’m totally addicted. No need to take any tests. Heh.

Anyway, that’s what been keeping me busy. Busy is good, I need the distraction. So, power on I go! Pro-blogger, here I come. (ya, like that‘d be the day..heh.);D

Feel free to comment away on any suggestions or advice ok?!

After a lot of dumb questions and annoyed the hell out of the good people over at exabytes, my site is finally up and running on the new host.
I have imported all my old posts from blogspot. Now scratching my head to think of what else I’ve left out, probably some codes, and trying to look for a good template. I definitely would like to use the same header image as before.

Any suggestions?

p/s: Please let me know if you notice anything wrong. Thank you!

Just bear with me a little longer here. *handing popcorns and candies to everyone*

OK, I have finally take the plunge and decided to have my own hosting and start using WordPress. One problem, no idea how to transfer all the posts here. I have found a hosting and as you can see I’m currently still using my own domain with blogger.
Can any kind souls out there please help me with this method? I am a total dummy here. Starting to doubt whether I’ve made the right decision. SOS!

update: OK, I have figured out how to export my posts. Now, I’m not too sure how to install Wordpress to my host, damn it, seems to be complicated.

As you might have noticed, I have placed an ad from nuffnang on the sidebar, under the message box. I noticed It is very slow to load and I’m not sure whether it’s worth the time. Every blogs I’ve been to that have a nuffnang ad is slower to load. What do you think? Do you find it slowing down the loading time of your blog or is it just my broadband speed?
