Hello everyone, I’m back from my blog hiatus since I have finished my initial thesis proposal defense yesterday. It was a hard fought battle while I was having a lot of problems. Although I was proud of myself, I persevered through it but it was without suffering a huge loss.

The good news is… I passed my thesis proposal defense.

I can really say that it was a close call. I was literally being chewed by the panelists regarding my proposal. Although I was having a hard time answering their questions, I did not feel bad about it and cursed them while I’m answering (wahaha). In fact, I’m thankful for the questions that have been raised because without those questions, the holes that we have overlooked in the proposal would still be there.

I realized that the terms you use in your proposal mean a lot. If you mistake one term for the other, you could end up with a wrong proposal. I wrote the wrong term in my proposal, instead of “essay features”, i wrote “essay writing skills”. Wow! That is so different and it really affects the whole proposal.

Although I passed, I still have a lot of revisions to do. It just shows how poor my researching skills are. I hope I can finish it in time and get it approved.

Now for the bad news… Read the rest of this entry »

I am afraid I need another break from blogging. I know I just had a break last week. I was informed this weekend that my proposal defense will be on Friday. That’s right,

THESIS DEFENSE ON FRIDAY (August 3)!!!

So to give myself ample time to prepare, I’ll put off blogging once again. I’m sorry to everyone. -_- I’ll be back soon and hopefully, I can say, I’ve passed!!! Haha. Good luck to me.

I’m still going to attend the blogger meet up on wednesday (August 1). haha. That’s it for now. Back to thesis research. =)

I know that this will be bad for the blog as I mentioned before, “out of sight out of mind” but I have to do this.

The deadline for my thesis proposal is this Wednesday, July 25. Today is already July 23. I am planning to utilize these two days I have in finishing my thesis proposal so I might not be able to blog for a while (I guess two days or more). I guess this can affect the traffic of the blog but it is something I am able to sacrifice.

So good luck to me on my thesis! ^_^

One week has passed (filler paragraph)…

Time flies so fast! I can’t believe that it has already been a week since this site has been online. For the past week I have been busy tweaking the blog technically that it affected my posts. As you can see in my archives, most of my posts are technical in nature. These are actually my experiences in trying to make this blog look good, optimized and have lots of features. Let us move on to the main purpose of this post.

What is your blog’s purpose?

Ever since I started this blog, I have been asked by people on what will I be focusing on? Now that I think about it, what should I be focusing on? People might conclude that this blog will be about technical stuffs since most of the articles are about technical stuffs. However, I don’t think that is the case. I was thinking that this blog will be focusing on my experiences in the blogging world. Read the rest of this entry »

I bought my hosting from philhosting . I was amazed by their fast service because I paid for the package at about 1:20pm and the account was activated after three hours. I was very excited for this was my first web hosting account and my first domain.

I quickly logged into my account using the secured cpanel. Although secured cpanel is a bit slower than the normal log-in, the added security is worth it. After logging in, I saw the interface of cpanel and I was at a lost of what I should do. So many buttons to click and learn. Good thing there was a cpanel documentation which I was able to read and learn about the features of cpanel. If you are new to cpanel (just like me), I would suggest to try everything out. I mean, click all the buttons and learn what that specific button does. It can be helpful in the future.

Now, the next thing to do was to upload my local wordpress blog to my account so that it can go live. I thought that it was just an easy task. However, it took me a few hours before I was able to make this blog online. I was making a lot of mistakes due to not being sure of what I was doing. In total, I made five attempts which I’m going to share and describe. Read the rest of this entry »
