Up and Down Productivity

I can’t believe how productive I am today. It’s only 5:28PM and I’ve already finished designing two website mockups including skinning a wordpress blog. To think I’ve spent half of the day browsing through soompi.com to get a glimpse of Coffee Prince’s behind the scenes and bloopers. I even read reviews about flash memory for two hours.

Anyway, I really feel good this month even though I’ve repeatedly complained of being overworked. Not only side projects are overflowing, but I’ve also started learning new applications – Boonex and osCommerce to upgrade my skill as a designer/developer. It’s a bit hard but I’m getting there. I feel confident to add these to my super outdated resume. That and my keeps-getting-better-CSS-coding, I feel like I can start competing with new designers again. In fact, this morning, a US-based Filipina contacted me if I can do her website for her. She said she saw my portfolio and was so impressed that she wants to meet with me when she visits this May. I was a bit embarrassed when she mentioned my portfolio because there are sites there that I’m not so proud anymore. So if you’re thinking -hey! You’re designs are not that great, I’m with you 90%. Which is why while I write this, I’m thinking of pushing some projects so I can have enough time to update my main site.

Well, I’m blabbing again. Like I said, today is just so unusual.
