Ahh. Finally. Now he’s looking more like Edward Cullen.
Bella, I really hope you’d show more passion in New Moon.

It’s amazing what you can find on the web. I came across these creative graphic manipulations and decided I would try to do something similar tonight. It’s been a while since I created a non-out-of-the-box graphics. What I love about these graphics is how surreal they are. My imagination goes wild just seeing them. If you’re about to design a website or write an article, browse through this collection first to keep those creative juices flowing.
You can see a longer list here.
It’s always lovely to see Anne Hathaway on the big screen but what’s even better is if she’s not looking like weight loss supplements are all she’s taking in.
Opinions about this movie varies from freaky to stupid to disappointing to awesome. The die hard fans hate that the look of the characters have been changed too much. And one comment said that Alice is not a child in this movie. In fact, the story is a sequel wherein she visits Wonderland again but couldn’t remember.
The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn’t remember.
Enough information to keep you intrigued, eh?
1. Do you find you don’t have as much time on your hands as you used to?
~ Yes. A mother needs 36 hours in order to have time for herself.
2. Are you a “Clock Watcher”?
~ Not when I’m trying to design websites. Time flies when I’m trying to meet a deadline.
3. Do you think that Time Travel is actually possible?
~ Not really but I would love to see that happen. It’s one of my favorite inexplicable events.
4. If your late, do you let people know you are running late?
~ Yes, I’d like people to know when to expect me.
5. Do you spend more time on the Internet or away from it?
~ Like 20 hours a day.
6. Do you think that as you get older the days, weeks, months etc go by quicker?
~ Yes, there’s just too much stuff that you want to do yet so little time.
NOT! I showed this recent photoshop disaster to a friend and she couldn’t see what the disaster was. For her, the waist looked fine and although bordering on weird, she said it could be that her body was really built like that. Well, she wouldn’t be a lingerie model if that’s the case right?

Saw this from an old Ten on Tuesday entry. I was relieved to know that there are people out there who have a million things on their list and yet none of them ever gets crossed out. And if ever you’re lucky enough to remove two or three from the list, there are twenty more waiting to be added.
So without further ado —
1. Organize my growing collection of movies and mp3 songs. I’ve accumulated enough titles that my hardisk is getting crowded already. Time to move them to their own DVDs.
2. Organize digital photos, burn to DVDs and make two copies each.
3. Organize important papers including bills, invoices and warranties.
4. Start living a healthy life. Eat healthy food, exercise and read about colon cleanses.
5. Sign up for a hip hop / aerobics class to lose weight in a fun and healthy way.
6. Design a new portfolio website. Something that I can call “The One”.
7. Master Joomla (a CMS tool) since most projects that I accept now require CMS capabilities.
8. Start checking out housing loans again.
9. Go on a beach trip before the storm season.
10. Plan my birthday “parties” for next month.
I love Mondays! Because it’s still a Sunday in the US, which means only one or two of my co-workers will be online. And that is if they’ve very dedicated or trying to finish a deadline. During Mondays, I have time to re-group, organize my tasks and gather my thoughts. I can work without someone breathing on my back, or in this case, checking on my status through IM every 5 minutes. And I noticed that I can work better, finish my tasks faster and still feel energized to pursue other things.
If only I can wish that it’s Monday all the time. I admit I’m getting stressed every morning whenever I see that my inbox has more than 40 emails. They’re not all for me, most of the time, they’re just an update for a project that I’m part of. However, since I was the last one who updated the project the night before they came in, I’m always expecting that one of the emails will contain either mistakes on my end or new tasks that I have no idea how to do.
I wish I can print a business card that says “Just because I work from home doesn’t mean I’m available 24/7“.
Just like any other employee who works 8-5 daily, I also shut down my computer. I’m mostly done with day-to-day tasks by 5PM but I keep my computer open just in case I want to browse for entertainment purposes or play online with my kid. Clients think I’m still available because I’m online. Most of the time, I try to do their requests even if it’s already 9PM. I do this because I care about their projects. I know that even if it’s not a life and death situation, they seem to think that it is so I do my best to accommodate these requests. Some of them even send three hours worth of work just before my bed time. So we both live in different time zones but that doesn’t mean I have to work the same time as them, unless stated in a contract.
I always get online during the weekends with my YM and Gmail set to invisible. Still, I’d get tons of buzzes and offline messages from clients asking if I can fix something. It’s the weekends people. I have a life too. And again, just like any ordinary employee, I don’t “go to work” during weekends. This means you can’t expect to get something done immediately or call me when I’m trying to spend some quality time with the family.
Like I’ve said, I’m not really strict with the schedule. But please don’t think that I’m a computer just because I work virtually.
