:: My webpage Endeavors

OK. So paano nagsimula ang ka-cornihan kong ito? XD It's a pretty long story I tell you, but if you think it's read-worthy, well then go on.

It was actually five years ago when I had my own webpage. It was hosted at Geocities, and it was really simple since I was just using the host's page builder. Wala pa akong ka-muwang-muwang sa mundo ng webdesign nang mga panahong iyon. Kaya makalipas ng ilang buwan, nagsara din ang webpage na yun dahil sa sobrang dami ng ginagawa sa school. Then on my senior year in college, I signed up for a blog at Pitas, but it was inactive. I seldom make my posts there. Lakas ng loob no? Wala pa ngang alam sa HTML, pero nag-sign up ng blog! XD

It was January 2002 when we had our PC at home. (Ang saya-saya! Parang birthday gift na rin sa akin yun!) XD And it happened that I was doing a self-study on webpage building. May libro kasi ako nun na Using HTML. There, I tested what I have learned thru my Pitas blog, and I began studying MS Frontpage as well. Wala pa akong alam sa Photoshop nun kaya halos walang images ang blog ko nun. In short, simply plain lang ang layout ko. XD Pero binigay ko pa rin ang URL ko. ^_~ Some of them saw it and they were glad I have my own online journal. Kaya naman pinagpatuloy ko pa ang pag-aaral ko. ^_~

I moved to Brinkster after staying about three months at Pitas. This was the time I maxed up my knowledge in HTML. Natuto na rin ako ng Javascript at Frames. After having several themes in my blog, I finally decided to name it Damsel Not In Distress. I still have that theme until now. ^_~ As of today, my blog located here.

Now, why Damsel Not In Distress? You see, I have this thinking about myself being a young lady who has a courageous spirit and show the whole world that I can overcome anything I might encounter in real life. Ergo, that's my theme. Pero ngayon, hindi na ako ganun na undistressed. Well, medyo. :( Kasi mas busy na ako ngayon kesa sa dati, at marami na akong iniisip at iniintindi kaya stressful na rin ang buhay ko lately. As in very stressful. Dapat siguro magpalit na ako ng theme no? XD Nah. I'll most likely keep this title for as long as I live. Kahit ako'y tumanda na at magka-apo. ^_~

By October 2002, I started to build up my personal website, finally. Why finally? Because I supposed to have one last year. Kaya lang na-delay ang launching dahil sa dami ng ginagawa sa school (4th year ba naman ako nun eh), although I caught a glimpse of the layout and the concept. (It was a starry look) The site was never launched. But now since I can create webpages myself, I decided to revive its construction. And voila! Eto na nga yun. ^_^

I got this site's title from an online convo with a guy friend. He was asking me a few questions regarding my then-boyfriend and I told him my story. So my friend concluded that the beginning of my relationship with my ex was simply out of nowhere, and I had to agree. But other than that, what he said gave me the idea of having that for my title. Now why i picked that line? It's simple. Because the site came from nowehere. XD
