A Much-Needed Resuscitation

There was a time when I could not access blogger from China, which is why I then switched to blogging in Multiply. Now, Multiply is not accessible from China, so I'm switching back to Blogger. With a new (albeit very simple) layout to boot.

This layout is also supposed to crossover to my new domain as well - www.novemberthree.com - but so far I have been unsuccessful at making it work. Add to that the fact the the my internet connection here in the university has not been fully restored since the Taiwan earthquake. So I am trying to be v-e-r-y-p-a-t-i-e-n-t with trying to solve all my blog issues including, but not limited to:

1. Accessing Multiply and moving all blog posts from the last few months to Blogger
2. Making sense out of how files are being organized in the domain
3. Knowing where blogger is saving everything in the domain
4. Just making the blog look organized, because I have already given up on trying to make it look "nice"

I just realized that it is so difficult to choose one venue to publish your thoughts. Blogging services are popping up left, right and center. Now, even networking sites like Friendster and Multiply - which should have been dedicated to networking - also offer blogging capabilites. And yet there is no way to cross-post an entry to all of these facilities. I know Multiply has an option for cross-posting but it almost never works.

Anyway enough blogging woes and onto the updates. One more week to go and we are done with the Mandarin training. I have been sooo looking forward to starting work again. Sounds weird but I really am tired of studying. Right after I graduated from college, I entered the MISE Program, 50% of which is theoretical training i.e. studying and homeworks and projects and exams. Three months after graduating from MISE, I again join a language course that entailed memorizing and previewing and reviewing and all that crap EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. What am I doing to myself???

And so now I am swearing off studying for the good two years that I am here in Beijing. Pahinga naman muna diba?
