Recently I’ve taken up a project that is out of my current league. As in, honestly I do not have experience nor the skills of it at all. Every single little thing which I create for that project is due the result of hours of scouring the internet for tutorials, cheat sheets and snippets. I [...]

I really hate it when it happens to me. Come to think of it, no one likes their website being hacked into and losing all their data. A potential client messaged me this afternoon saying that he cannot view my portfolio site. Astounded, I went over to my website to take a look. It came [...]

All freelancers have their high earning months and low earning months. For a new freelancer like me, I am no exception. After 2008’s last quarter of ‘famine months’ (as I called them), the 1st quarter of 2009 is the beginning of the ‘feast months’. It means I am getting more projects now.
More projects means more [...]

The past few days have been hectic for me. What a way to start a new year with a bang. I got more projects on hand, more tasks to complete and more stuff to worry about. With more incoming tasks come the need for better management of the limited time I have everyday.
Frankly speaking, I [...]

I Hate IE6!
I have been busy doing some front-end web development the past few days. Half of the time is spent on debugging and making those web projects work with IE6 (Internet Explorer Version 6.0). With so many CSS incompatabilities and no support for PNG alpha transparency it is a big hassle to script in [...]

It has been such a long while since I last posted a note here! I am a pretty inconsistent blogger, especially since I have been very busy lately.

I have graduated from my teacher’s training program.
I am now a full-fledged teacher, with my own form class to boot.
The class is [...]

Practicum is going to be over soon! 3 more days to freedom!
This last week of practicum has been as hectic as ever, with me chasing pupils for their corrections, re-corrections and helping them to file in their work for parents to check through. It might sound like an easy thing to do, but trust me [...]

Saw that this was written by one of my friends (who is also a teacher I guess, but in the US) in the Facebook:

I am in a world of pain, disappointment, abuse, poverty, shootings, fights, death, and standardized tests (aka my week and first year of teaching)…

And another one of her friends replied to [...]

A holiday is not a holiday if your mind is still at work.
Apologies for not updating for such a long time, but I have figured out that I am going to update more often now…but most likely it is going to be in one-liner form.
Who says blog entry can’t be short and sweet? And if [...]

I finally have some time to breathe and write a blog post this weekend. I just finished the whole next week’s lesson plans + resources and am on the brink of exhaustion
Plus I have just had my first two lessons this evening…I am not sure how I should feel about it. The first [...]
