Why do I blog?

/2 Comments/in /by

I really don’t know how to start this blog. I guess it’s good to start witht this – Welcome to by personal blog. Its been a reaaaaaaaaal while since I last posted something. To be honest, I’m not really in a blogging mood lately (maybe permanently). But I just can’t let go of the idea of owning a personal domain or blog. I remember almost half-of-my-age ago, I really wanted to have one like this and even tho domains and websites are something I could easily get to and loose now – because of the nature of my work, I don’t want to lose that version of me who wants to have her own little space on the web.

I’ve been really thinking about this a lot lately. What is the purpose of this all? Why do I blog? Why should I keep on blogging? If you ask me years ago, I would have totally answered this easily. I used to blog everything and frequently and I don’t mind it.

Blog Maintaining is Love

/8 Comments/in /by

So I’ve been addicted to maintaining this blog this weekend. It’s finally my free time after my usual busy days and I’ve been itching to complete this since I launched this blog.

I think most of the improvements are done, but I’ve probably missed some little things here and there (like padding and wrong :focus colors). When I envisioned this theme, I really want to go for the minimalist look with striking typography logo and striking accent color (hence that bold pink color). But I’m still a typography newbie so I felt something is still lacking so I added that pinkish flower background (credits to stocksnap.io) to some sections. I’ve never used a girly-ish theme before, most of my themes before looked generic af. ?

One of the perks of being a Web Designer / WordPress Developer  is being introduced to some of the best premium themes out there and for this blog, I am using Genesis Framework with my own  custom child theme. I used to think that for my own sites, I need to do everything from scratch but that’s really a lot work – design, front-end development, responsive fixes. With using a parent theme, I can focus on design and branding (and blogging!) which I really want to focus on rather than coding. And I really don’t have to worry about the responsiveness on mobiles and tablets. (Geez, meet the web design geek in me ?)

Hello there!

/4 Comments/in /by

Hello there! :)

It has been like two years since I wrote a blog post, actually since I did any blog maintenance at all, at least to my own sites. I actually lost this domain name two years ago and someone else (as in a spammer) got this when I failed to renew it. I never knew I could get this back, and with just the same fee!

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to blog for the longest time, I just didn’t do it because I couldn’t settle on a blog name. :P And because I’m too busy with adult life. :/ Good thing I got this back because I really can’t think of a new blog name.

Lately, I’ve been kind of reminiscing my blogging days. I started blogging when I was 18 years old and no, I’m not divulging my age and I don’t want to share my old blogs , they make me cringe. But really, time flies so fast. I hope I will be able to keep this blog for good!
