Been feeling very keen lately to get things done and I’m slowly starting on my to do list since the beginning of the year. Heh.

Vyanne got me a Gundam model from KL and this is the Mugen (heh, it’s actually Infinite) Justice model piloted by Athrun Zala (just had to type out this name, and I wonder how the Japanese come up with these ideas). It’s a pinkish/ purplish model and unlike my previous experiences with Freedom and Destiny, I’ve staggered building this model over a few days. It’s still headless but the main body is done, just need to get the body armour and weapons together before I finally piece together the head.

Also had this idea with Vyanne since last year to start a website where a few of us friends would upload photos and contribute feedback to each other’s work. I registered the site over a month ago and did some research for a web photoblogging piece of software. Heh, after all that testing, ended up with WordPress again as it was the easiest and most flexible system for uploading pics, writing short blurbs and commenting. Everything else required separate FTP programs and other technical know how that I’m not sure everyone would be comfortable learning. The site was left in limbo once I got it up and running as I wanted to design a proper template for it. Me being lazy and somewhat busy doing other things, just finally decided to look through premade themes for WordPress and loaded one up that I liked.

So without further ado (like there is any raptuous applause going on, other than in my head), I present to you this project site I’ve been working on. It’s called shutterbuddies.net. Vyanne wanted a ‘shutter’ in the name and buddies just sounded quaint for the purpose of this site. So we stuck to a name and the dot ‘.’ net at the end of the domain name was just because the dot com was taken by somebody just wanting to make cash off people who actually have a real need for the sitename. Besides, dot net is more apt as com means commercial and we are just doing this for fun. So far (as of this writing) there’s only been food pictures posted up. Heh.

The last project I’ve been working on is this very site you are reading. Come up with something radically different from previous designs and I’m liking it so far. As I always try to outdo myself, this one is a little beyond my league at the moment and all I can do is to work the idea slowly until I manage to sculpt something I’m truly happy to let go life.

I do realise that a lot of things I do stem from one small idea and they slowly evolve into something bigger and that small idea will become just become a fraction in the whole idea. It’s just like life, and no matter how daunting the big picture is, it’s the little steps you take to move along that give you the confidence and willpower to persevere until your efforts pay off.
