Im back from a week of silence. I was'nt away. I was just too lazy to type anything here or tag on tag boards. In fact, Ive been online everyday since last week, staying up until 4 am, lurking on other people's sites, visiting online stores and bidding on ebay. Haha!

Yes, after all these months of fishing ebay for something cheap and useful, I finally found something worth registering and bidding for. I found this Paul Frank bag for Php150! I was reluctant at first since I had no experience in online shopping and Ive heard so many horror stories about online buyers. But then I figured out it was worth a try, besides, it doesnt involve my parents' credit cards since I can pay through G-cash. So I registered, I bid, and I won! Hahah I was actually the only one who bid for that item. :) I placed my bid on the dawn of Saturday and I won the bid on the noon of Saturday. I was online when received the email from ebay notifying me that I got the bid, so I immediately emailed the seller (from Cebu) about the details. After an hour, she texted me about the shipping and payment details. I was supposed to pay it on that day itself but since I was busy and I didnt have the chance to go the Globe Center to pay, I asked if I could pay her on Monday instead. So there, Im gonna go to Globe tomorrow so that I could get my item by Tuesday or Wednesday. Yeepeeeee!! :)

Classes formally starts tomorrow. New teacher, and yes, new classmates. I dont really know what to expect in my last semester in college. I just hope I get out of it alive.

I was sorting through my forwarded emails earlier and these images caught my attention:
Their version of isaw?!

in case you were wondering, those are starfishes, cockroaches, grasshoppers and scorpions!

pero eto ang da best....

taadaaaa!!!

I actually found a lot of interesting photos from my mails ranging from street paintings to sand castles. I wanted to post them here but I cant seem to copy&paste links right now. Something's wrong. Everything was okay minutes ago (as evidenced by pictures above). The copy/paste function just suddenly stopped. hmmm....

anyway, my old link (iamlica.blogspot.com) is back. I was actually test driving my site for public viewing. I posted my link in my friendster profile, meaning all my contacts in friendster has the link to my blog. Publicity. Since it's just a test run, I changed the link so that when the test run is over and when I take down the link in my friendster, none of them can track down this site. I placed a redirector in my old link so that when people click my old link, they will be automatically redirected to my new link (brainmelt.blogspot.com) whithout hassle. Now that test drive is over, it's just iamlica, no more brainmelt. You see, not much of my personal friends know that I run a site. Not that I have something to hide, I just dont feel like advertising my site. But if they find this, it's totally fine with me.

And to that person who left me his/her number in my question box just minutes ago, please identify yourself. thankyouverymuch! :)

And oh, I was recently looking for someone to host my blog so i signed up at pick-me.net. It's a database of hosts looking for hostees and hostees looking for hosts. In about 24 hours, I got 3 offers right away. But then I realized I wasnt ready to be hosted because: 1.) i still havent learned FTP and most hosts require FTP knowledge 2.) I really have no idea how being hosted works 3.) school is starting and im pretty sure i'd be neglecting my studies AGAIN once im too preoccupied with putting up my new site. So I had to decline their offers as of now. I know I might be regretting these offers in the future but I cant afford to jeopardize my last semester for my site. Maybe when xmas break comes, I'll go hunting for a host again. :) But nonetheless, thanks to Scott, Ales and Wildgene for the offers. Thankyouveryverymuch! :)
