Hello, hello, hello people of Earth and galore!!! =P I am finally back from my 7-week vacation around the world. ;) It's kind of sad being back, but also relieving, as I will hopefully, go back there soon anyhow. School has been really hectic and chaotic for the last week, as I missed some days and had to make up work along with other loads of homework!! Tests, tests, tests...it seems that's the only thing American schools like, huh? Well, as a result of this, I find my self incapable of being able to do updates during the week. (Except for rare days like this when I'm bored and have virtually NO homework!!) Weekends, on the other hand, are a different story. When I finish my homework (+ when I feel like updating), I CAN!!! ;D So I think weekly updates are good, right? I don't need to update daily to keep all my affies and have my site be good.

Moving on, I've been thinking of getting CuteNews, but still keeping the c-box as well. This way if I wanna ask blog questions or you need to post a long comment, you won't run out of space. But if it's a quick note or something, you can leave it in the c-box. What do you think? The thing that makes me hesitate on it though is, is it hacker safe? And how hard will it be to install? I see questions around about installing cutenews and messing up the whole site, and I don't want that if it's going to be soo complicated! Anyone who has it, is it worth it? Good, sufficient? Help is much appreciated. :)

About the layout...I stil have to get to making a new one. This one is getting old and starting to contradict the actual season. :S But currently, my laptop is in need of a new battery and I'm on my dad's computer, so I can't install PSP and other junk on it! So until my laptop is back up-and-running (which is in about a week), do not expect a new layout or new graphics. Expect a new layout in, hopefully, the next couple of weeks though. Suggestions would be great.

Another thing that's slowing my updates (+ the laziness), is the lack of new ideas. I need an original, cutesy, pixelish, or scribbleish (non-celebrity) idea for my new layout! Any are very welcome. The couple of weeks before I started my travels, I was making updates like mad! (Well mad to me, considering I barely make them) But to my dismay, half of them were broken. =@ (Look at previous blog for more de-tail!) I wanna make something newer, that makes people want to look at the graphics. I need to make some enter/welcome signs, new glitters (ALL OF THEM ARE BROKEN), and some other graphics. But what are some fresh ideas I could add to spice up my site? Any new content you want or think I should add? Lemme know, ideas are really appreciated! =D

I really like writing blogs/updates like this, in paragraphs. It grabs attention, doesn't it? =P Makes it look organized and more attractive too, huh? Well, I better wrap this up before I (and you) fall asleep! Good day, and don't forget to write your input in the c-box! XxOo. <3

Hello people who still drop by!! :P I just wanted to write a blog quickly and let you know of my plans for the next month or so. Well, right now I am in Thailand, and I absolutely love it!! We've gotten an apartment set up and everything for when we move next year (sometime), so I am pretty excited about that. Did you know they drive with the steering wheel on the RIGHT side!!??! Lol, I just found that interesting. I also went to visit family in Beirut, Lebanon, I must admit I was pretty scared to go back there, because war and other situations are constantly breaking out. We left the day after a bomb in Tripoli exploded. (Thankfully!) We also went to Dubai for a couple weeks to see 2 cousins and aunts, and I miss them really badly now! :S And we also stopped by Malaysia for a couple days! I know, a lot, right?! Lol. But I've been loving this vacation and it's so sad that I have to go back to school once we come back. :( I feel like writing so much about my vacation but then that would take up the whole day. :P Anyhoo, as most Muslims know, Ramadan is approaching tomorrow (Sep. 1), so it shall be a very busy month for me and my family. As well as catching up on a week of missed school, and so many other things, it's going to be really hard coming on here to updates so much. So don't expect too many updates for the next month. However, I will come on on the weekends. I'm also devasted to find that half my graphics are broken!! Because I uploaded most of them on Piczo, then I stupidly deleted the old Piczo and all the graphics went with it! :S I'll have to replace them later. I'll also have to find time to make a new layout, 'cause, well Summer is pretty much over, sad to say. I'll be back from my vacation in about a week, but I probably won't right a blog until the following week. Sorry to the affies I haven't kept in contact with, I'll make sure to contact once the business of the month is over. Well, I have to go. Happy Ramadan to the Muslim visitors, and have a great life to everyone! Lol. Toodles! <3

Ello ma peeps! =P Lol...well this is basically my last official blog/update until I come back from my trip. I'm traveling this Saturday (July 19th) hopefully, and will be back September 6th. I'm bringing my laptop along, but I won't come on much, 'cause I don't wanna have to worry about this when I could be enjoying my time! I'll check up every now-and-then to reply to comments & emails and maybe write a blog. So feel free to keep the comments acommin' and I'll reply ASAP. So I'm traveling to Thailand, Dubai, and Lebanon. I hope it will be a neat experience to see family and just shop and exlplore! =D So...yeah...July 19 until September 6 = almost an open hiatus. Wouldn't really call it that though...since I'll come on occasionally. Affies, PLEASE keep me!! Ok well, toodle-ooo! I hope you enjoy your summer too. ;D

I'M BACK!!! Wow, I can't believe I'm finally back after 2 months of no retro-glam! Lol. You might be wondering the reason I was gone and not keeping in contact with affies. My host's host was offline a lot of the time, therefore resulted in my host & me and her other hostees' sites to be offline as well. So I haven't been able to login to FTP or even view my site. I got hosted from here, and I'm very thankful! Anyhoo, you may have noticed that I have a new layout. Well, it isn't my best...I apologize it's not very good, but I tried to make it sort of summery. And I had to hurry so I could get my site back up ASAP! The CSS also sucks pretty badly, lol. Well, let me know what you think of the layout and CSS. :) Now, I've transfered all my files from my old site to here. So most of the content is, fortunately, still here. =] I'll be adding more very soon, to make up for all the lost time. =P To my affies, I still have all the ones who kept me, so please keep me on your affies. But make sure to change the URL to my new one please. =] I'm also accepting new affies, so if you're interested, go apply!! ;P I also have to say that in 6 days, I am traveling on vacation...to Thailand, Dubai, and Lebanon to see family and such. Therefore, I will not be able to come on my laptop nearly as often. So it's pretty much going to be an open hiatus. Although, I will check comments and etc whenever I get the chance. So, I won't abandon this site for 2 months! =P I'll be back on Sepetember 6th, but then I have to go to school, so no updates until the first weekend of school! =[ Oh well, please comment in my c-box, and enjoy looking around! =D Xx. <3 There will be a better layout when I return. :)
