And four months later…

Whew. Long time no blog update. I really want to say sorry to myself and specially to my blog for not updating for so long. One thing I can say, adulting is very hard. And my life is very boring… Unlike most people in the planet who go out everyday for work and occasionally travel for leisure, I don’t do any of that. Well I do have work but as I mentioned here before, I work at home (Yes, thank the heavens again for the internet) so my days consist of just working and working then watch something online (I am waiting for you iZombie season 3) and then maybe play The Sims 4. I don’t even get enough sleep anymore as I can’t sleep most nights for the past month or so. (Do I have insomnia now or maybe something else?)

I hope for the next couple of days or weeks, I can write something blog-worthy. I’ll try my best to get up on my free time and get out of the house. I tell you, I am really lazy most days. :( I know, YOLO right?

Blog Maintaining is Love

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 ?)
