Chronicles of Nika

At least that’s how it feels like here in Batangas. Seriously. Its way colder right now than it was last December. Mom also just informed me that the weather news said five storms are coming. O.o Looks like I really won’t be heading to Puerto. My parents let me go anywhere I want as long as its safe, treading on stormy seas isn’t. xD Plus I have a little bit fear of traveling over large bodies of water. Must’ve been caused by that time when I almost drowned when I was a little kid. Heh.

I’m not going to lie and say I’m not happy that its raining right now. I enjoy the cold weather because I sleep comfortably tucked between layers of blankets and pillows. I hated how hot it was back in March and early April because it was making my headaches worse. Cold weather doesn’t give me headaches and when I do get them its milder. I just hope its not this wet when classes start. I commute from Batangas to Buendia each day I have class and my classes start at 8 am. So I have to leave really early to come to school on time, I basically wake up at 3-3:30 am, take a shower, get dressed then leave our house around 4-4:30 am. It gets harder to commute when it rains and I especially don’t like it when it happens on Mondays.

I might go to Rob tomorrow if the weather isn’t too bad. I want to browse over some stuff at BookSale. I might be able to bump over some back issues of Paula Deen’s magazines.

I’ve mentioned earlier that my webhost is closing down. They have migrated us to new host and we were told the rates would stay the same. I however might be moving to a different host especially since I can save a lot if I move and use some discounts. I’m still trying to raise the needed funds to get my new hosting plan and I still need about $60 to get there. Hopefully I can raise the money needed by first week of May so that the transfer can be done and I can start rebuilding my other domains.

I have quite a bit of domains that needs to be revamped and hopefully I get to really get them all ready before classes start on May 25. These domains will sort of become one of my networked blogs since one would be about baking, the other a collection of quotes and the other one would cater topics about women and everything kawaii. Of the remaining domains, one will be given to my sister for her own blog. Its about time she left blogging in friendster and multiply. xD Another will start getting fresh posts each week, and the other will get an updated theme. This blog would remain the same, maybe get a different theme if I find something more suitable but for now I still love it.

Apart from that I am trying to create a fund for my baking so that I can start baking a lot and improve my skills. That would mean all the money I get after paying the hosting will be placed on my baking fund which means I will not be able to go to Puerto Galera this May with my 3.2 wavemates in TT-HP. I still have to find ways to pay for my tuition this coming term and its P30k+ which needs to be paid in cash because I am graduating. >.< So I have until June 6, I think, to get that money and enroll. Now I don’t know personally how that kind of money will fall on my hands but I trust and believe that Jesus will take care of it. He always makes a way and I can vouch for that because there has been countless times when we were in need and not knowing where we would get the needed funds but always and I mean ALWAYS, something or someone comes along to help us.

If you know them chances are you’re addicted to Faceboook games like I am. I actually stopped playing them for more than a month or so because I was focusing on my classes. When I came back to play everyone has leveled up and I’m at the bottom. xD

I’m enjoying it again right now and hopefully I get more coins to get the stuff I want on Pet Society and Restaurant City. I just hate it when some of the items I want in PS are gone after a week. I can’t save for them that fast. >.< In RC its a pain to level up my dishes especially since I stopped logging in for a while so I didn't get the daily quiz and the ingredient that can be won on it. I started playing Farm Town again today because kath who I haven’t talked to in a long long time finally joined Facebook today and that was how our paths crossed again. xD

I’ve been eyeing some photos over at iStockphoto and I was lucky enough to stumble over a forum where Mabel of PinkPiGIllustration posted about having some iStockphoto vouchers. I dropped her an email and thank God she had an extra code. So I now have 10 credits that can be used in iStockphoto. I cant buy credits yet just now because I’m still fixing my hosting. Turns out my current webhost will be closing down and will just be up until this coming May. So I’m looking around for a new webhost that wouldn’t kill my non-existent budget. *giggles* Gah, I now need to worry about transferring files and stuff. The horror. >.<

P.S. Do check out Mabe's website. Her illustrations are wonderful.
P.P.S. My portfolio there is empty. >.< Back when I first applied I took ordinary photos. WHat they wanted were different and edgier ones. O.o I so need a Canon DSLR or even just a Lumix LX3.

The past month has been hectic and tense for me. I’ve been worrying a lot about different things and I’m just so happy that I am finally near graduation. Just one more term left and four more subjects. I am also ecstatic because I finally overcame PRODMAN which has been a very trying subject for me for the past few terms I took it.

Summer just got weirder for me. Its raining heavily for the past couple of weeks in my hometown. First we had a really humid summer start matched with scorching heat. Then it suddenly turned into sudden downpours. I do hope the climate isn’t that skewed yet. Classes start in a month and I don’t know what to expect on my commutes.

Booger. I think my PR dropped. I’m now down to PR1. Oh well, I don’t use this for advertising anyway so PR doesn’t matter much. I’m just wondering why it dropped. >.< I think Google has been doing a lot of PR dropping lately. Almost all my other blogs lost PR. Plus many bloggers are experiencing it as well.

P.S. Wish me luck, I’ll be getting my grades for my subjects this term later today. I really hope I pass PRODMAN already. *crosses fingers*

I just turned a day older. Haha. Its my birthday and I have classes. Got a presentation for my PRODMAN and Speech class later as well. What a way to spend my birthday. Good thing I’ll be heading to Mina’s house after my speech class to celebrate with pizza and beer perhaps.

Sorry this isn’t a joke. It really is my birthday. Lol.
