Hello again MUYMG,
I kind of miss you too. See, I was so busy... okay, sorry. That is not a good excuse no matter how busy I actually am. The truth is, I was lazy and stop blogging for awhile. And when I feel like blogging again, I forgot the account I have to use to log in.
Is it just me or Blogger back-end interface looks different?
Anyway, I wonder what I was thinking by making multiple blogs to separate blog topics. The system looks pretty complicated and so is the labeling system. I find it hard to adopt. I think it would make more sense if I merge these numerous blogs into only TWO blogs..
The first blog is about gaming and arts.
The second one is for whatever else kind of blog posts I want to write.
But like I said, the new Blogger interface is different and combined with my current nonsensical labeling system? It looks like I have a lot to relearn and things to do which I cannot do right now.
So, see you later. I'm going to work on you again as soon as possible.

Antara Bahasa Melayu dan Bahasa Inggeris
Saya lebih suka menulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris untuk esei sebab saya lemah menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Apabila saya menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu, saya tidak dapat mengelak daripada menggunakan ayat yang terlalu kaku dan formal, biadab dan kadang-kadang mempunyai banyak perkataan yang tidak formal dan perkataan singkatan seperti 'tak'.
Sebenarnya apabila menulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris pun sama je masalahnya. Tapi cuba bandingkan penggunaan 'I' dalam Bahasa Inggeris dengan saya dan aku dalam Bahasa Melayu. Saya nak guna aku, dalam perbualan seharian pun aku susah sangat-sangat nak perkataan ni. Rasa macam biadab sangat. Nak guna saya, rasa macam formal sangat. Selalunya saya guna nama sendiri je semasa berbual walaupun bunyinya agak manja atau kebudak-budakan. Tapi tak boleh lah guna nama sendiri dalam blog sebab nama saya mudah dikenal. Memang cukup susah nak cari orang lain yang pakai nama ni kecuali sekolah agama je yang banyak pakai. Apa pun Bahasa Inggeris lebih mudah, 'I' boleh membawa maksud aku, saya, beta, dan lain-lain yang sama makna. Saya tak payah pening kepala pilih ganti nama.
Sekarang cuba bandingkan je, tak, ni, tu, nak, bila dengan 'won't', 'wouldn't', 'this's', 'it's', 'that's', 'I'll'. Ini tak ada kaitan dengan makna tapi penggunaan perkataan singkatan. Kalau Bahasa Inggeris, 'won't' boleh ditukar menjadi 'will not', 'wouldn't' menjadi 'would not', 'this's' menjadi 'this is' atau 'this was', 'it's' menjadi 'it is' atau 'it was', 'that's' menjadi 'that is' atau 'that was' dan 'I'll' menjadi 'I will'. Kalau singkatan ni ditukar kembali ke asal pun tak ada masalah, bunyinya tak pelik. Tapi kalau je ditukar menjadi sahaja, ni ditukar menjadi ini, tu ditukar menjadi itu, nak ditukar menjadi hendak dan bila ditukar menjadi apabila..... saya pasti ayat tu jadi pelik dan jika tidak ditukar pula pasti akan ditegur jika ditemui dalam esei (kecuali yang melibatkan perbualan) dan jawapan kertas peperiksaan.
Tapi apabila difikir balik, memang tak ada pun soalan peperiksaan yang memerlukan penggunaan perkataan singkatan ni kecuali esei yang mempunyai perbualan.
Entahlah, saya pun tak pasti kenapa saya jarang menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Malu betul orang Melayu tak pandai menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Keputusan SPM saya, Bahasa Melayu B3 atau B4, saya tak berapa ingat tapi Bahasa Inggeris A1. Pelik tak?
Saya rasa mungkin sebab saya dah terbiasa dengan Bahasa Inggeris. Ye lah, saya lebih banyak meluangkan masa dengan komputer dan internet daripada manusia. Bahasa komputer secara automatik ialah Bahasa Inggeris. Semua arahan pun dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Kebanyakan info di Internet pun menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris. Jadi macam mana saya nak tingkatkan tahap kemahiran saya dalam Bahasa Melayu kalau bercakap pun jarang-jarang?
Menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu ni sebenarnya seronok juga macam menulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Kalau tak, masakan cikgu selalu puji karangan saya semasa sekolah rendah dulu. Waktu sekolah menengah dah tak seronok sangat sebab kebanyakan karangan bukan berbentuk cerita fiksyen tapi sains, pendapat dan yang paling saya tak suka, karangan jenis ringkasan dan rumusan.
Apa pun, saya berniat nak mula berjinak-jinak semula menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Mungkin suatu hari nanti saya boleh menterjemah karangan Bahasa Melayu ke Bahasa Inggeris dan sebaliknya dan kongsi dalam blog ini. In Sya Allah.

Life is Great
Hi again, a double posts in one night :) But they're posted on different times. That's the usual occurence around here.
How are you? I've been busy with my new job as a PPTM. It has been fun and full of horror and nice surprises.
I'm not very reliable yet but I'm trying to be a better person everyday.
I miss writing so I'm going to write a lot today. I hope :)
People around me told me that I won't be so busy. Well, it's not tiring.. but not busy? I'm not sure about that. But that could be because I'm not used to it yet and still learning about the people and place I'm working with. I am often lost looking for a new room and places.
I'm hoping to settle down soon. I hope I will get a lot of time to play. Heh, am I a bad worker for thinking like this?
The internet connection here is awesome. But like I said, I'm busy. So I couldn't take advantage of this benefit just yet.
I don't miss talking to people but, I miss my blog :) It's like talking to someone except that someone is not a living thing.
I wish to interact with someone/something though. I want to have someone to share my opinions and hobbies.
I don't need a lover, I need a partner. Hoping to find that person soon....
Hey blog,
People are scary sometimes but if I don't go through it, I won't learn anything.
Just because people are friendly, doesn't mean they're your friend. I wonder if that's how to describe my own personality.....
Heh, it's lively tonight. My relatives are here. It's fun to see the drama. Human interaction is so interesting.
Mom coughs every night since we came to G. It's great to see her cough subsided just now after I warmed up her back and legs. It seems like it helps her even if it's just a little. And then I got to put a pair of socks on her. That one is kinda fun. I always want to do something for her. I hope she'll get better soon. Damn... I just wrote this and she coughed...
I think that's it for tonight. I hope to see you soon and write a better reading material next time. Have a good night sleep everyone. Bye.

Write According To.. The Writing Schedule?
Do you have a writing schedule? I didn't realize such thing exist until I stumbled upon an article shared on an accomplished blog. I don't remember which blog it is.
I thought blogging is like writing a diary, you write whatever you like whenever you feel like it. Or if you're a professional blogger, I thought it means posting anything related to blog topics according to schedule.
Wait, that means writing according to the schedule too.. No, what I mean is a more detailed schedule. This particular blogger has an interesting schedule. I don't remember exactly how it went but his schedule is something like these:
Monday Just light stuff because Monday is usually dreary and stressful
Wednesday Technical or IT related news
Friday I don't remember but his life maybe?
It's interesting but I totally forgot all about it until today. I think it's useful for someone with a lot of interests and need to learn some discipline like me :)
Edited 07 May 2013:
Nah, not for me. My only schedule is to post at least 3 articles every week. The end.

If I Could Write or Edit Stuff All Day While Earning Money
Sometimes I have too much time or too much idea that I write and write and write too much blog posts than I'm comfortable with to publish all at one time (actually my limit is one post per day and 3 posts per week). So most of the time, what you read in here is most probably written days ago before it was published. For right now, I have like 2-3 weeks worth of posts O_o
And then sometimes, I went into hibernation when I write nothing for weeks. Lately though, I find the more I write, the more idea I get, the more posts I write in one sitting. I find myself to write whenever I'm bored on paper, on computer, cellphone, whatever I can find my hands on O_o
Sometimes I wonder, if I could just write all day without worry about money, wouldn't that be fun? I love browsing the internet. There are a whole bunch of stuff I want to read, learn or try. I want to create something worthwhile, I want to have fun.
Talking about fun, I've made my first e-book :D Yay!!! Seriously, I was so excited. It's fun and very easy to make but I feel like I've crossed over a bridge I feel like I can fly (I know it didn't make sense but that's how it felt like). I don't even have to pay anything to create it and the info is really easy to get.
But the reason I created it is because it's too much work remember which thing is where. Browser bookmarks have their own limitation. Just because the link is there, doesn't mean you know what info is contained in it. So I made it for myself. Then I realized, it looks too good not to share with others. Too bad, I have to little people to share it with.
So I decided to share it with my 2 best friends. I even changed the editor name (me) to their names in their e-book copies. Okay, maybe not so free, after all they have helped me a lot in the past.
I keep having this stupid desire to not share it with them at first. I admit it that I am a childish, immature and greedy but it would be a shame not to share it with other people. After all, it's a useful thing. It can't help with my current situation, but it can help theirs. And considering that they have helped me a lot in the past while I have nothing to give them, I can't help but want to do something for them anyway.

The Point of Writing
I love reading but I have a hard time reading things that don't interest me (so does everyone else). I love blogging because I love creating something. I used to be complimented for being a good writer during primary and secondary education class. But, I found no motivation to write after that because there's just no point in doing it. I mean, even if I write it, no one is gonna read it, it's not useful, and it's not going to help my grade anymore.
Every now and then, the plot bunny sometimes become too much too handle and my hand itches to write and so I end writing those embarrassing fan fictions and weird fictions. My sister found one of the fan fictions by accident and said it was good (she is an aspiring fiction writer and dreams to write her own novel someday). I wasn't sure which fiction she's referring too but it was a nice stroke to my ego :)
I love fan fictions because I already know who the characters are and why I like, am neutral to or dislike them. With every plots and stories, there must be something you wish would have happened or didn't happened in the story line and that's what fan fictions are for. I'm so glad for the existence of wonderful fan fictions. I am quite stunned though to learn that there are a lot of amazing writers that start writing smuts since they're 13 years old or so on www.fanfiction.net. Not that I'm complaining...
Strangely, when it comes to visual media like mangas, comics, and movies I prefer it light and humorous or totally action-packed. I prefer to keep the romance at minimum. I'm not interested in those seductive scenes, it feels weird. Even though I like Eat.Pray.Love the movie, I have to turn my face during those scenes. It's too intimate, I feel like I'm intruding their moments.
Some of my old favorites are movies made by Disney like Pocahontas, Anastasia, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and The Lion King. The songs and the soundtracks are incredible. Come to think of it, most movies I like have good songs and soundtracks in them. It's the component that makes the movie truly mind blowing, engaging and powerful that makes you feel like you're at the scenes. Every bad movies should have them. It makes it easier for the audiences to go through the torture till the end.
I still see no point in sharing this with others but, I feel like writing it. So there.

MUYMG Blog Mind Renovation
I know I'm going somewhere with this blog. It's clearer now.
It's not about money. I don't care. I can go back to further my study, my result is good enough anyway. Or I could get work on.. oh, I don't know.. McDonald, KFC? Whatever... I don't care... I just can't take too much pressure. It's not my whole life anyway. So no more banners as I hate those anyway...
It's my journal except I vow to write it in better grammar and vocabularies.
It's not about the reader. Sure, it would be good to have more readers who would leave comments. But the point is I want to have a conversation. I think lately Twitter satisfy those needs better than any of my blog visitor because they aren't replying to me just to be polite. So no more Shoutbox? Hmm... I have to delete my account then.
All I want is to analyze myself. I'm always interested in psychology. I want to know what makes me angry? Why? What is my strength? What is my weakness? How can I succeed in life? How can I help others? Why am I not as compassionate as others? Why am I so lazy? I wonder why I react like that? I wonder how people interact with each other? I wonder who am I? Who are my mom? Who are the people who I thought I know? There's just so many depth and details in everything.. Stuff like that is intriguing.
Have I told you my dream? When I was a kid, I always dreaming of being a cold, beautiful, smart lady in unsuspecting front. The type that people usually brush off. I also dream of being very good in what I do. I don't know what that is but, damn, I'm going to find it. Hopefully it's not something like sleeping too much, being half-ass, things like that. I'm dreaming of having a lot of money comes to me without much effort.
I'm dreaming of not being a nuisance to others. I can live alone and makes money. I dream of sending my mom to travel around the world, buying her anything she wants, pamper her to spas and so on... Seriously, what am I thinking? I think my dream is kinda strange for a kid.
It's like all I want is to live peacefully. I don't care about what others think.
To be more accurate, I live in my world and I don't care to explore, to care about politics, to care about manipulating others, to care about being better than others, to create havoc in other people lives. So it definitely is not about popularity.
Well, my mom always says that I look like I'm walking on cloud, like a girl in love, devoid of logical thinking with no sense of the surrounding. I guess, it's true.
It's a blissful, serene feeling, no doubt..... but I'm starting to wonder if I'm destined to achieve anything great at all in this world, if people would ever remember my foot prints. Dreamers don't seem to be that successful in real life.
Oh, well, one step at a time. For now, I want to accept that this blog is for me, not others. So calm down and make it good for myself first before I cater to others.

Current Assignment
Blog Struggles: Finding My Blog Focus
The first task is to label blog posts properly.
In my previous post I talk about my difficulty in choosing labels set for MUYMG. I solved that problem by visiting Yahoo Answer and EzineArticles.com. They have nice sets of categories that I could use along with Lorelle's cheat sheet. I'm pleased to say that I like the new labels set in MUYMG :)
Yes, I've finally done it!!! *pat myself in the back*
Okay, now onto the next steps of the assignment:
If there is any theme, congratulation, you've probably found your blog focus!

- See if there is any similarity or recurring themes in the posts even though they're in different categories.
Or, you could just skip all this steps and blog about something you're expert at.

- Introspection (14), Tech News (14), Relationship (6)
- At first glance, Introspection and Tech News have the same number of posts. But, after looking back at my posts in each category, it seems like they are actually divided to three main categories with lots of subcategories. The main categories are Introspection (Education, Events, Fashion, Food, Health, Music, and Relationship), Tech News and Off Topics (Animals).
Conclusion
It seems that MUYMG is already heavy on Introspection. I have a tech blog where I review softwares and online services that I use and post some tutorials. I'll moved posts under Tech News into that blog and relabel the remaining posts under Tech News to Blog Updates so MUYMG will focus on Introspection only. It would be better this way, I think. I look forward to learn more about Introspection.
What's next?
I'm renovating my tech blog so I probably don't have much time to post here but I'll try to update at least once a week. So, that means no more post for this week :)

Reevaluating MUYMG after 3 Months
My First Thought
I didn't know what to expect by creating this blog.
I just want to organize my thoughts because everything is jumbled in my head. I plan and plan, but hardly acting according to my numerous plans. I keep changing my mind because of my own insecurity and lack of trust.
I don't want to feel like a failure anymore but I don't think I can change easily. So I took a small step of creatingNotALeader (now known as MUYMG).
Here, I hope to leave my track and be somebody I can be proud of while sorting out my mind.
The First Post
I have a lot on my mind during that time. I've just joined an online business and got intimidated with the prospect of cashing out more money for advertising and marketing, dealing with customers, and sharing real name, contact information, and photo with the world.
At the same time I was working on improving my skill in creating and coding layout using HTML and CSS which I've been hoping to master for a long time. With no money, no skill, no job...
I'd say, I have a lot of issues to deal with.
So it was expected that my first few posts are mostly me, whining about... everything.
Three Months in Rewind
At first, the whining helped me to release tension. I don't care what others are thinking about me. It's what I need that matter. I want to whine and whine until all is gone from my system.
SoNotALeader was the perfect name for this blog.
Of course, I don't just whined. Sometimes I post interesting things that I found on the net. If I'm feeling neutral, I post about Blogger and IT stuff. Most of the times though, I wrote about my dreams, my ambitions, my faults, my plans, and without realizing it, I'm getting deeper into self introspection and falling in love again with writing essays.
NotALeader is no longer a suitable name for this blog.
I still have my issues and I still cannot make up my mind on what to do so with one quick decision I changed the name to MUYMG which is the acronym to Make Up Your Mind, Girl!.
It was strange but after that, my posts get longer and sound more positive. Even the vibes of the blog is more positive and calmer instead of negative and gloomy.
The topics are still focusing on introspection and IT stuff. I write about Introspection when I need to be more honest with myself and when I have something to talk about. I write about IT, when I'm feeling neutral or when I need to post quick content.
Ups and Downs During the Three Months
One of the reason I create this blog is to create a habit of being consistent. I have realized this truth for a long time now. Anyone who is good at something is often found consistently practicing and experimenting to achieve amazing result and persistent against whatever that may come to stop him.
Unfortunately, I am one of those people who easily abandon their target when things get hard. That is why I have no great achievement to boast in my life. It's really shameful.
So in order to break that bad habit, I try to write at least one post everyday except weekends.
I'm glad to say that I rarely break that rule.
What Next?
I don't know yet but I want to get better.
MUYMG is one of the best things that happen in my life because it slowly helps me to create a routine and giving me something to focus on. I tend to get distracted by shiny objects especially those offered by online marketers.
However, MUYMG forces me to accept the fact that certain things just take time and cannot be rushed. It helps me to be more patient with myself and stop belittling my own ability.
So I am taking it one step at a time. Slowly, but steadily making progress.

Choosing Labels Set For Your Blog
I am not sure where am I going with this blog. So while searching for clues, I stumbled upon Lorelle's blog post where she adviced to give each post in your blog appropriate label. Then count how many post you got in each category to find out your passion or strength.
I'm glad her advice comes along with category cheat sheet :)
It is really hard for me to choose a label for each blog post. Ever since the beginning, I keep tweaking the labels hoping to finally find a set that I really like and working for this blog. However that remains to be seen.
This cheat list really help me out with the labeling problem, I've been trying it since last week. It was great for the most part but right now I have a little of problem with completing the first task (proper post labeling). I'm not sure in which categories certain posts actually belong.
For example, I have posts labeled as 'Communication'. So in which category do these post belong? 'Politics'? And what about my post about 'Introspection'? 'Science'? XD
So anyway I'm still trying to figure this out. Hopefully I will be done soon and proceed on the next task. :)
I'm glad her advice comes along with category cheat sheet :)

Ooops, the pictures are gone...
MUYMG was shared between my old and new Blogger accounts. So I was a little bit worried if something bad will happen after I deleted my old account last week.
Sure enough, it did but not as bad as I imagined:
I know I didn't misread the warnings:
So even though the posts remain if the author delete his/her Blogger account, the pictures are not included because they will be deleted as well along with the account IF the pictures were uploaded directly to Blogger.
I guess they forgot to mention that part.
Oh well, I was too lazy to upload the pictures in MUYMG to my Photobucket account so some of the pictures are gone now. It's a good thing that I don't use a lot of pictures in my posts or else, it's gonna be hard to replace the pictures.
I didn't notice any other problem though. Do you?

Closing Blogger Account - Finally!
Yesterday, I closed my old Blogger account which was created before Google bought Blogger. At that time, the option to delete Blogger account was not available yet.
But when it became available, it was only for Blogger account created under Google account because in order to delete your Blogger account, you have to delete your entire Google account. So you would also be deleting your Gmail account, Adsense, Reader and so on.
That sounds bad enough on its own but hey, an option is an option. Just my luck, that option was not extended to my old Blogger account because it was apparently not considered as a Google account. I guess the merging process between the popular Blogger and giant Google sites was not done yet.
While I don't blame them, this has been a thorn on my side ever since then. I don't like to keep my accounts hanging. I either use them or close them properly.
So I am very glad to see this option on my old Blogger account early this week.
Step by Step to Deleting Blogger/Google account
1. First, sign into your Blogger account, and go to My Account.
2. Then, scroll down to My products and click Edit.
3. Option below will appear. Click on the link.
4. It states that after deleting your Google Account, you will no longer be able to use any of the products listed in this page so there is no turning back if you go through with this.
So if you're sure, select each checkbox, fill in your current password and click on the Delete Google Account button to delete your account. Else, click Cancel.
5. Lastly you will get this message if you've successfully deleted your account. Now you cannot login with that username and password anymore.
Finally, one thorn has gone!

Finally, A Favicon For This Blog!
Hi! I almost thought I won't be blogging today :) But then I finally got this favicon thing to work on this blog so I thought why not make a guide so others can do the same.
Of course, there are a lot of guides out there on how to change the favicon on Blogger and yet it still takes 2 days for me to get it right even though I follow the instruction step by step! I have to tweak a little bit here and there to make it works.
For those who don't know what favicon is:
A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon,URL icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 or 32×32 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
So this is the original instruction I got from various websites and blogs on how to put favicon on Blogger. They are basically the same in most places.
But, this is how I get mine to work:
Thank you to http://www.iconj.com/ for the correct codes.
By the way, not all file format can be used for favicon so pick one of the popular file types like .png, .jpg, .bmp and .gif to avoid any nasty surprise.
So that's all for now. I hope I didn't make you more confused :D If I do, please tell me so I can fix it.
Good night!
PS: For more detailed info and instruction, look at Favicon Walkthrough on my other blog called Free To Use. It covers every step with a lot of explanation but easy enough to follow and it's not limited to Blogger blog only.

So this is the original instruction I got from various websites and blogs on how to put favicon on Blogger. They are basically the same in most places.
- Create a .ico file. (I went to http://www.favicon.cc/ to create mine)
- Upload the file somewhere (At first I uploaded mine on Google Site)
- Login your Blogger account.
- Go to Design tab.
- Click on Edit HTML.
- Click Ctrl + F to open browser search function
- Insert </head> as the search phrase and click Enter.
- Put these codes,
<link href='url to your favicon' rel='shortcut icon'>
<link href='url to your favicon' rel='icon'>
before the </head> section. - Click Save Template.
But, this is how I get mine to work:
- Create a favicon, the file format doesn't matter as long the size is right, it's okay.
- Upload the file somewhere (I uploaded mine on Webs.com)
- Login your Blogger account.
- Go to Design tab.
- Click on Edit HTML.
- Click Ctrl + F to open browser search function
- Insert </head> as the search phrase and click Enter.
- If you use .ico file, use this code:
<link href='url to your .ico file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon' />
Example, <link href='http://elinaw.webs.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/x-icon' /> - If you use other file type such as .png, .png and .gif, use this code:
<link href='url to your .png, .jpg, .gif, .bmp or other file type' rel='icon' type='image/file_type' />
Example, <link href='http://elinaw.webs.com/favicon.png' rel='icon' type='image/png' /> - Or if you want to play safe, use both codes in step 8 and 9.
- When you're done, click Save Template.
Thank you to http://www.iconj.com/ for the correct codes.

Make Up My Mind
I think I'm gonna change the link of the blog again... hahaha... I just can't make up my mind... But reading back at the blog posts I've written here, I realized that the current URL and blog name is totally... well... it just doesn't match.
What should I rename it to?
Oh..... I know! Make Up Your Mind, Girl! Yeah, sounds great and it should work well as a reminder :)

Hunting for FREE Images and Photos
I'm stumped... I wonder how the other bloggers do this? I mean, they always have cool pictures on their blog. Oh, I didn't mean real photos because I know where and how to get it for free on net. I mean those anime pictures, cool drawings, and awesome picture/photo edits, with no label whatsoever on it. Just where do they get them?
I know I can take screenshot for anime but is that legal?
I know where to get cool drawings but didn't you have to give credits for those?
I know where to get awesome picture/photo edits too but again, aren't you supposed to give credits to those?
As much as I admire this lovely blog, all the pictures/drawings the author used do not link to anywhere else or include any credit. I'm starting to wonder if this is just a mistake on her part. You know, the usual beginner mistake...? That whenever you found pictures or photos you like, just save it on your computer and upload to your blog. Of course, it is entirely possible that she created all that herself considering that her blog header is totally awesome and personal.
I really should start asking her all of these questions directly instead of wasting my time playing this guessing game... :/
Oh by the way, I just searched Google and found this blog post about anime blogging. Nice one! So, it's legal to take screenshot of anime under Fair Use law. I've done some research about it before but I totally forgot all about it. I'm still a little bit confused though.
It's fine to use copyrighted material for commenting/reviewing/parody/reporting/teaching/scholarship purposes. But, what if I want to use it for totally unrelated purposes? For example, using anime screenshot as decoration in a blog post even though the content of the post has nothing to do with that anime or anime at all?
Ouch, that hurts my brain!
Oh well, it's not that important but I'm just curious. It's a good thing that I've found more photo/picture source while searching for all this clue.
Free Photos
Mmm.. nice.. any more suggestion? :)

- http://picapp.com/ (huh, quite good...)
- I'd like to add http://www.pixelio.de/ but I don't understand anything it says on this website :D
- I'd like to add http://www.sxc.hu/ but I need to sign up to use it. I don't want to do that.
Mmm.. nice.. any more suggestion? :)

Annoying Blogger Label Search
Okay, so I visit this tutorial blog. It was highly recommended by the author of Blogging Basics 101 in her FAQs from Beginning Bloggers article. It is supposedly very useful to every Blogger user but before I can even get any useful information, I got frustrated. Why?
Because Blogger Label Search lists all the posts in their full length!! Just how long do I have to search the list just to find what I want?! I didn't really search that long but I still came up empty handed because I already knew it will take a long time. Ah, and don't get me wrong, the other blog posts looks really great but they're not what I need at the moment. I refused to be distracted!
Actually I am already distracted seeing that I'm writing this post :P
It can't be helped, really. If I'm this frustrated just from visiting other people' blogs, how frustrating it would be if I couldn't find my own stuff on my own blog? Sure I could add the Google Search widget but... I don't think that would be necessary if I could just tweak my Label Search. How?
I love the options we have on how to view the Notes list on Facebook. We can either see all the posts in its full length or we can just view the titles :) Great, isn't it?
I'm not gonna try this idea yet so I don't know how well it would work but if I could just add Jump Break on every post, it should have similar result. Not both options mind you, just the Title list. While I think it would work well during Label Search... it is possible that my blog homepage would look ugly.... Em, yeah.. I'm not exactly sure which one I favor more right now....
To be more efficient or to be more beautiful? Not fun! Isn't there any other widget that can do this?

Submitting Links to Search Engines
I don't really know why I'm doing this. I mean this blog is just about my personal daily life. So why do I need to submit it to Search Engines?
I am still not sure what I am doing but from what I've read, it is recommended for new bloggers to spread the link to their blogs so the blogs' popularity rank can go higher.. Um... Okay... my mind is kinda hazy so I might be doing this wrong. I'm tired of hesitating though so I just do it without giving much thought.
Anyway, I've submitted this blog to major search engines and directories with the help of this article from ExaBytes.com.my Knowledge Base which saves me a lot of time and headaches hehehe... I would have use SubmitExpress.com but it asks for my name, email address, PHONE NUMBERS (!!!) and origin country. Too bad.. because it really is more thorough since it submits link to more than 20 top search engines for free.
I am very tempted to ask this young blogger I admire directly but I'm pretty sure I would humiliate myself.. *sigh* but like what this guy (one of VeMMA top leader in Malaysia actually) said in this post, I have to learnt all this pronto even if it cost my ego.... ewghh.... :/
So the question is, would I ever do it or not? *still trying to run away* XO Help!!!

Have you customized your Blogger profile page yet?
It's interesting to note that not many people share mention any of their interest in the profile. It's actually one of the greatest way to find blogs related to your interest. Unfortunately, when not many people use it.... sooner or later, people including me are going to abandon using that feature.
Had the feature were thoroughly used, it would be like a social website like Facebook but has a lot more customization options except online games. I mean, other people who are interested in the same topic could easily find each other, visit interesting blog, leave a comment, share experiences, tips, announcement, and whatever else you can think of.
Facebook? Meh... Great for information digging but not good at sorting it ~_~
