Whenever I make myself concentrate on getting something done, it's usually a failure. It happens whenever I go shopping with something particular in my mind, or I sit dow to study with some goals in mind to complete, or maybe when I feel like blogging and opened the posting page, more often than not I'll find myself staring at the posting box and feeling linguistically constipated.
Now, this spreads to refurbishing my blog.
I opened my blog this morning and I thought, well, as with the passing of an old year and the arrival of a new one, why don't I just give my blog a new makeover? So that marked my quest in finding THE template - the horrible task of choosing THE ONE and the repeated procedure of previewing and eliminating skins after skins. Call me choosey, but none seem to satisfy my appetite for an interesting, eye-pleasing, captivating layout for my blog. Mind you, it's MOI blog we are talking about. I can't grab just any piece off the site and put it in, right? Because it's got to be ME, ME, and it's got to be very MOI.
Then, I thought, why torture myself by eyeing on a skin, opening it, just to think, 'No it isn't gonna make it. Doesn't fit', and eliminating it, and make my quest in renovating my blog seemingly endless and futile? As a matter of fact I could just choose one off the Skins of the Day and pluck it in, because since they are featured on SOTD they won't suck much. Yeah, well theoretically it's sound, but since I'm such a narcisst I will squirm everytime I open my blog if it's of mediocre looks.
All of these, put me back to square one. And yes, I'm still in the search for the ONE skin I fancy.
And then, when I was just about to desert the idea of having a new house for my blog, I came across this one. It's not aesthetically appealling, not is it so attention grabbing, but somehow it came across just fine. I mean, it certainly isn't the best yet, but I can put up with it. So, I stripped it off the site and pasted it on.
Refurbishing my blog isn't any easy task. In fact, it's painstaking. I have to comprehend every number and html there are all over again, before making changes to suit my likings. Since computer and me are never meant to be with each other (despite how much I proclaim I can't live without it), html being computer languages, of course came across as those encrypted codes.
Since alot of sweat was shed in constructing this new layout for a whole new year, I would strongly suggest you don't complain about the narcissism hidden everywhere in this place. Because it's ME, haha!
This is the last day of 2007. What can I do to make it a day not wasted?
