Edcel.net - mind games

This blog is an outlet for showing the deeper side of me. Cause people just perceive me as a happy-go-lucky-person with no direction in life; even if it’s half-true. I just put a mask with a happy face every time I go to work or wherever; but deep inside, close people know the real me. That is, I’m surrounded with too much problems that I get mentally deranged sometimes.

I don’t want to open up to people because in the end, they’ll have they’re own say and I’ll have mine. God knows what those brains are thinking next. There’s no use of explaining just because I’m tired of repeating the same words, as if they’re still going to believe me. Of course, I’m running out of excuses and my excuses don’t seem to equate but we each got our own reasons; with those reasons being determined by how we were raised.

Anyway, going back; it’s nice to have a place to talk and talk, since I love talking about to myself. So forgive me if I’m sometimes a prick for being sensitive when it comes to the words I leak out of this page.

But don’t get me wrong, this blog is another option for me to earn money while expressing my thoughts. I already started earning online through another blog, however, I didn’t have much control of that over this. I mean, I’m happy that I’m able to learn the hassles of creating my own website. It adds credibility to the fact that I started it by myself. So it’s not bad that I also blog about things that may be off base. Besides, I already have a number of “personal” entries that I don’t normally share to my usual readers in my other blog, so it would I’m assuming it would be okay to talk about nonsense once in a while.

Anyway, to anybody who visits here, I’d appreciate it if you’d leave a comment; if not on the “Comments” box, you can just place a shout out on how you were able to come to this site.

I got a message from my friend who’s supposed to tour me that she couldn’t because her pop was sick and she needs to attend to him. I got this message when I was strolling at the mall to plan on buying the things I needed for my trip.

When I read the text, I was a bit dismayed because I had been preparing for this trip since I anticipated this very much and it’s been awhile since I last visited the place where I spent adolescence.

But I wasn’t angry, disappointed at first, maybe; but not angry. I realized that I was more concerned of the father of my friend’s condition; wishing them well. I don’t want to stay in a place where I’ll become a problem so I just tried to postpone it some other time; if there is such.

I’m so tired right now because of how many hours of facing this monitor. I’ve been working my way into building this site properly, the way I want to see it. However, I’ve had a bad time initially when I bought the site.

For a non-technical person like me, I really had a hard time learning the ropes in creating this site. I bought a domain at 3ix.com since that’s what a colleague at work used. I bought the cheapest package because I don’t think this blogsite would consume that much space as I also have another site. This is more of a place for my own silent rantings. Anyway, like I said, I had a bit of a time.

I was happy when I was able to buy my own domain and host in 3ix.com (I didn’t know what one would need at first in order to have a site) rather than have a free blog account. When everything went through (my credit card payment and the welcome email), I couldn’t hide the excitement.

However, because I was too excited, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought there’d be such a simple step by step process in order to come up with this page. I was wrong, well at least with the hosting package that I got. I didn’t even get any phone help cause the company doesn’t have one for technical issues. Hence, I just proceeded to using their Live Chat Support; which wasn’t that pleasant the first couple of interactions. The agents were a bit fast in delivering their spiels, thinking that I know how to set up this site. I admit that I’m not a technical person, I just want to learn in the process. But I just didn’t like the way they assumed that anybody who signs up for a hosting account. I should know since I’ve done I face customer and technical service interactions almost everyday as that’s my line of job.

But the third time that I was able to talk to a 3ix representative, I was able to get bit of an idea where to go and what to do. I figured I just have to use my searching skills in finding valid information in forums and other blogs.

So this is it, from edcel.wordpress.com to edcel.net . I’m still happy with what I’ve attained despite the many moments that I wanted to give up this page. But I said to myself that I have to go through with this for my added knowledge as there’s no use quitting since I’m not that much of a coward; at least to some extent.

The author is stuck somewhere in life.

He created this blog because his former blog expired unless he pay for subscription. And since he’s such a bit practical but actually more of a cheapskate, he transferred to another free blog site. He tried searching for other hosts out there, he already found one aside from Wordpress. However, he found the simplicity quite refreshing. So he’s planning to keep this just to for the sake of keeping itself.

Right now, the author is having fun tweaking this free Wordpress blog. He likes to just post some random thoughts that he normally doesn’t want to type in his other blog. Maybe a few pictures or two as well.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading my entries as I also enjoy creating them!

Just wanting to represent.

Because the author realized that having a free Wordpress blog would mean having limited features, he figured he’d buy a domain for himself; hence, edcel.net was born. Hope that anybody who’d drop by would care to holler.
