| My Official Good-Bye
Alright, so this is gonna be my official good-bye and last post (as of now anyways) on dorkus_x. I actually wrote this a couple of days ago but set it to PRIVATE because i didnt "feel" like it was the right time to make it public. Today though, i felt like it is finally the right time (the "stressor" here was my bff migrated toooooo) so here it is.
Xanga has been good to me (minus their limitations hence why im migrating llol). My very first post was on Wednesday, June 29, 2005. An almost four years it has been, i've been dedicated and faithful to dorkus_x and i am gonna be a traitor and go over to blogspot. haha It feels a lil weird to be typing a "Farewell" to a blog....but because xanga has been part of my lifestyle, grown with me, people refer to my xanga in conversations and on, i think this alternative outlet to my life deserves a proper good-bye. Dont worry Xanga people, i will still be around to stalk you, and comment. You dont have to worry there. haha And for people who normally come by/googles me/added me on their RSS, please migrate yourself over with me to my new blog ^^ (Hopefully i wont be as lonely over there). Actually im sure SOME have already found their way over there...those are the intuitive, observant ones. heh lol
Maybe l'll come back! Who knows, there's like a 4% possibility of me returning lol.
Thanks to Everyone who has always referred to me as dorkus (even in person), it means a lot to me even though its very lame. Dorkus_x, my alter online identity; im glad my tres imaginative mind came up with you. You really helped me through rough times when i felt like talking about certain issues to someone, wouldnt be much help or be any kind of release. i think i would have seriously driven ALOT of people insane with the whole 6453 (or was it 6543) issue, and other dramatic episodes if i did not blog about it. With that said, i can finally leave behind and let go of what ive always dreamt of wanting, for a reality that is bliss.
Blogging & Signing it off here for the last time (maybe, keep in mind that 4%). =]

| BloggingOkay its that time again where i am contemplating whether i should migrate over to blogspot. I had this debate last summer when Anh pretty much left xanga *sad face* and went over to blogspot/blogger and i had such a hard time deciding to stay or move. My ending decision was to stay (hence why im here) until now when i have a fresh list of why i should stay and why i should migrate. I'm out of school, and now i can spend more time on the design/logistical (if its sucha word) side of maintaining a blog and actually have time to do/explore crazy shit that people have on their super-nice, domain-hosted, wordpress blogs. Unlike before, one of my reasonings for wanting to stay here @ Xanga was because i didnt want to spend my time figuring out a new set of html for a new blog site (the HTML varies slightly on each blog community i.e. LiveJournal is the worst to date). But now that i do have the time, my list changes a bit.
So this calls for a Fresh List!
Xanga has really made it not fun to [ aka Pro-Blogspot ] :
- tag posts
Yeah one thing that really pisses me off about Xanga is its inability to "remember/log" tags. They have a TAGS section but what good is that if it doesnt remember it for you? I can have new tags every single post and end up with a thousand tags at the end of the year! Not good for an obsessive compulsive freak like me.
Plus five points.
- have a personal domain/change SN
Many of you know that ive been saving up credits, and being marketing cows for various sponsors of Xanga- JUST so i can change my SN. Eventually my goal was to buy my own personal URL/domain because i am that crazy about blogging (example: www.dorkus-x.com). I was doing a little research and to my horror discovered that Xanga doesnt have that feature (yet and they dont seem like they are making any effort to do so). Yeps, that is definitely a turn-off. Now blogger on the other hand, allows that.
Plus twenty points!
- unable to print posts
I've been blogging for about five years (not including asianavenue), from got_rice_angel => silent_serenity => saymuidang => dorkusX, i've recorded a lot of memories and experiences in typing. With that said now, many places allow you to upload your posts from your blog and print them out onto paper (and into a book or watever). That, is something i want to do very, very much. Livejournal allows it, wordpress, blogger, wordpad, all BUT, surprise! surprise! Xanga. !@#$$%!!
Plus many, many points.
- ads r really ugly and flashy
This is just a general perference, but the ads here are too much and there r virtually no ads over at blogger.
Plus one point.
I apologize to my cousin who i made sign-up for Xanga and now im talking about migrating....haha im so sorry pauline. But rest assured! i will keep up with my spam comments on your blog lolll : )))) i promiseeeeeeee. Thats the same with all the other ppl i stalk on xanga. Just cuz i dont write here doesnt mean i wont stalk here. ^^
Again, people might think this is silly and i'm totally pathetic for debating this...but you know what. I honestly dont care what people think because blogging is important to me, and is part of my lifestyle. Its like telling me to give up chicken wings- ya fuk that lol That person can go screw themselves and they don't ever have to come (back) here because no one's making them read this. Hmmm sometimes i can be so bitter and bitchy.
Alright, going to start blogging over there for a couple of days before i put up the link, in case its a false alarm and i decide to stay. haha i've made it all classsy and nice over there so its "presentable" for the people who do come by occasionally and ive already have 11 (very short) posts since last August, so its not completely empty and boring.
OUTS, for now.
PS. My lips is dry as fukkk. (That doesnt make sense)

| two post in one day: inspirationAfter reading Anh's post on apartment 611, i was extremely inspired to blog a reflection-like post on my four years in GCM and what it meant to me, what it has taught me and made me into. Then thinking about it further, i think i'm gonna save that post for after convocation because if i did it now, l'll have nothing to say in a month and 2 days' time lol
Again GCM kids, convocation is Thursday, June 11th at 8am, and we have to be there at 7:30am. Boos. I know. And a FYI is that we will be graduating with the Journalism, Image Arts and Photography kids across the street so it wont be as cozy as prom was the other week.
On the note of our convocation- i found the dress i want to wear that day ^^
Nowm my only issue is hoping it will ship here in time...or if not find a similar one.
&& of course shoes to match it he he he
Fuk and i just realized i missed the grad photos deadline. GAHHH. Not only do i not have my own photos, I was originally going to surpise the mister's family by getting him his grad picture (he sincerely does not believe in prom, convocation or anything graduation-related in general) but haha that is so not happening now unless i start photoshop-ing the watermarks on the low res proofs we got........which takes too much time and cuts into my Criminal Minds-watching-time.
I'll end off the night (yeah its kinda early but...i get exhausted easily with this whole nine to five business) and this post with a picture of the mister's youngest and only niece.
She's sucha cutie-patootie that always wears pink : )))

| mmmm a lil excessivei had a dream last night that i met Matthew Gray Gubler
aka Dr. Spencer Reid, the fictional character on tv.
ahhahah oh man this is too much
So I finished my first week of work, and there's really not that much to report on aside from the fact that it will continuously become more challenging, more work, etc. I kind of want to decorate my area to make it more "me" but im debating whether i should or not, or if that's ghey of me. haha
Another random thought: im allergic to my retainers.
I blogged a couple of weeks ago about getting these plastic, "invisalign" retainers that bears similar resemblance to a sports mouth guard/protection thingy. Well after wearing them for a while, i noticed my my upper top lip getting really dry and i thought its probably because im not use to it and wearing lots of vasaline and lipbalm would do the job. Nopesss, got much much worst. My lips are now...incrediably itchy, has a burning sensation and even though it doesnt appear "dry", they are pretty effing dry lol. It got to a point where i had to plaster so much beeswax lipbalm on my mouth so i can enjoy the cooling effect as it took away the burning feeling, until now it just CONTRIBUTES to the terrible burnig sensation. - I know, i am SUCH a big freak.
Hopefully i can get some new ones, because my teeth are starting to shift and i will become my old self again WITH this terrible allergy reaction. Sucks balls.
Alright i gotta go add up my debts and figure out how im gonna do this before i go splurging with my pay cheque next week....because im feeling myself itch for one of Mac's Bronzer.....i feel a MAC whore in the making.
