I read somewhere that there are only two greatest days in a person’s life. The first would be the day you were born, and the other one would be the day you find out why.

Inspiring isn’t it? Everyone has been unconsciously looking for the answer to their existence and yet have we found the answer? What about me? Have I even tried to look for the ‘why’?

I think I may have but due to my immaturity and youth, I may have lost interest along the way and have drowned in the temptations. I was blinded by gluttony, pleasure, power, freedom… ‘Too much and too little is bad for you’ they say. I had too much in my past and now I think I have too little. But I know these are the consequences of my actions and looking back, all throughout the journey in life, I know I took so many wrong turns.

And here I am yet again, trying to grasp the meaning of my life. Trying to understand why things happen in all of my 22 years of breathing. I’m only 22… Would I even know where to look? And if I found the answers, would I even be able to grasp the truth or worse, accept it?

I wasn’t able to finish this post last night, I was too tired to check whether I typed it properly so I just saved it in my drafts. But here it is…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrggghhhh it hurts like hell! Soon after heading out of the gym, I met up with anya ken. And we went to a popular sports arena in our city. I tried out boxing today for the first time, and for one reason and one reason alone, because I was dragged to it (curses kennots! curses!). I knew I wasn’t there to just watch but I didn’t expect to be trained (more like toyed) like that on my first day. My muscles are stiff from working in the gym. And if that wasn’t bad enough, for the fun of it, we had a mock fight (I think the boys there seldom have female visitors), I was paired to a 20-year-old guy who was so excited to beat someone up that he forgot he was sparring a girl. It was just for fun but it turned out much more painful to be just a game. I’m badly bruised. I have purple spots forming on my upper arms right now. I can’t fold my arms that much. So I shall not return to the ring again anytime soon.

Before you read further, if you have a website or a blog with a link to my blog before. Can you please change it to the new URL? Thanks! Ok back to your regular blogging…

Organizing my schedule and ordering my tasks comes natural to me when I know I’d be swamped with activities but today, I am distracted for some reasons. And I cannot pin point what the heck is distracting me. But just before I work on my daily tasks, I wanted to blog about what the heck I’ve been doing since my old blog died on me. Maybe that can unload some memory space in my brain. This will be long so take a deep breath, buckle your seat beat and bear with the aimless talk…

The advantage of being a free lancer is that you have full control of your time, you could go shopping, party till dawn, meet with friends, spend time with family, etcetera. The downside of it? It gets lonely and boring at times. I don’t have workmates to chat with while I work, most of my friends are employees so I rarely go out either since there’s noone to hang out with. I have my daughter to play with but I can’t talk to her about Google and PHP or fashion and showbiz now can I?

Some have been asking me where joiz.be went to and so here is the long story of how my domain made a magical disappearing act.

Joiz.be disappearance started at the night of December 28. Hosting problem? Unpaid dues? Hacked? Joiz’s mood swings?

No the problem wasn’t my hosting. My hosting has been very kind to me during the holidays, no big downtimes whatsoever. I wasn’t hacked either (who hacks personal blogs?). It’s the holidays and although I am tired from all the holiday fuzz, I was not having major mood swings that would make me delete everything I’ve made on my website. So what caused the hullabaloo? The domain name itself.

It was supposed to be renewed before December 27. The domain name has been sponsored just before the date (thankfully since I had PayPal problems) and I thought everything was cleared and clean about the renewal. It went down on December 28, I thought it was just a minor hosting downtime. So come December 29 morning, the website was still down, I got worried.

Alas 2007 is here, and what better way to celebrate the new year but with a lot of fireworks!

As people close to me would know many things have changed since this year came, one of those changes is my domain name! I’ll explain that later…

So what fireworks have I got in store for you today? Let’s see…

Fireworks #1: Good bye joiz.be?

I’m now a .org! I’m an organization now! -grins sheepishly- heh but seriously, what happened? You can read the long story later but to cut the long story short, the domain was registered in a lame registrar. “Lame” is an understatement by the way.

All thanks to my hunky and dear friend and dungeon master, Grim, for everything!! And I mean everything!! I swear I owe you a lot! I have a question though, where do I get myself a handful of yummy men like you? You are the sweetest!

I have to work on the template for this. And have to work on the site a lot! I’m actually and overly excited!

So my friends, I’m on joiz.org now! Remember: ORG not BE. Get used to it people! Because I’m still not
Fireworks #2: Old Posts No More
