MMMiii!

Today marks miii.net’s 2nd birthday. Not the blog, but the website itself. miii.net didn’t start as a blog. I just had my blog hosted at miii.net on a different subdomain. But when I started trying to make money online, I moved it to root. Blog is reaaaal older.

Sooooo…. Happiness!

It’s also Noe’s birthday today. Happy birthday Noe~ <3

And so I was trying to import my old posts from Blogger because I couldn’t justify that I’ve been blogging for a long time and that this site has been active for over a year.What’s the story behind it?

I started blogging in 2003. Even before that, Nagi forced me to join a ‘blag’ group which I don’t know whatever happened to it. I really got into blogging in 2003 because Sheila forced me into it. She even designed my layout. I didn’t become a hardcore blogger until a year later. I became one because I ranted a lot and didn’t really have anyone to talk to.

I acquired miii.net in 07 January 2006 (Noe’s birthday ^_______^ *giggle*) and I continued to use Blogger because I was still a blog n00b even if I had been blogging for almost three years already at that time. But last year, when I got a boyfriend, I kind of felt I wanted to start anew, a change, and so I got into Wordpress. I hadn’t migrated to the new blogger then so it was easy to import my old posts, but I deleted them because, like I said, I wanted to start over, a clean slate.

Months passed by and I continued to do my usual ordinary blogging, but because of Sarah I got hooked on monetizing my blog like writing about RC helicopters, and eventually, joining blogger communities. And well… I’d like to show off my blog age! but I don’t really want people delving into my past.

BUT WHO CARES!? It’s all in the past. No one would want to read the 688 posts I wrote more than 2 years ago, right? (I really hope so)

Well, here’s the hard part. Wordpress’ Blogger to Wordpress 2.2 Import script fails. And I found the way to fix this about 8 or 9 Google results later, I found a reply on a post about Wordpress needing a patch to fix this.

It said to change something on line 87 from www2.blogger.com to www.blogger.com

What to do?

1. Get your blogger.php inside import folder which is inside your wp-admin folder (inside your wordpress folder: /wordpressfolder/wp-admin/import/blogger.php) and open it using a text editor like notepad.
2. Look for the lines that correspond to the image (or follow the links and copy it) and remove the 2 from www. Reupload, overwrite, and you’re ready to import your blogger posts to your Wordpress.

So, if this failing Blogger-to-Wordpress import is what’s keeping you from migrating to wordpress, here’s the fix for it!

We had make-up classes today because we started the quarter late, but the exams didn’t get moved, plus those days of no classes, and another day will be missed Friday next week, the Friday before exams. My class started at 8 am.

I left the house at 7 am and stood in front of the gate for about 10 minutes. Five (5) empty taxi cabs later with drivers who refused to take me, I limped towards the intersection, crossed the street and tried flagging more empty taxi cabs. I don’t remember how many empty taxi drivers refused me anymore, but I was in pain and I wanted to cry. I had tears falling but it wasn’t full-blown crying yet.

FINALLY, after 30 minutes of waiting, a taxi cab finally stopped in front of me and I said KATIPUNAN and sobbed. I complained to the taxi driver that the other drivers refused to take me and that I was in pain and that I needed to go to school and I cried and cried until I felt better.

I made it barely on time — 7:55am. I scribbled some questions my ST told me I needed to take up, and then limped with her to the classroom.

As usual, my class was a pain in the ass– and foot.

A-ah~ The quarter is almost over.

Anyway, TAXI DRIVERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHOOSE CUSTOMERS RIGHT??? Isn’t there a law or something like that? DAMN THEM.

In the past years, the anniversaries I celebrated were events like Frog-Dissection day (January 12, 1999), Break-up days (forgot them already), Quezon City Science High School Foundation Day (September 17) and so on.

Finally, tonight, I’m going to celebrate my 1st anniversary with Matt. Like wow. According to this website, the best anniversary gifts are photos on canvas–something I can’t really have with this kind of relationship.

Meh. Oh well.

Here are some love songs from Dreams Come True or DoriKamu. I posted both English and Japanese versions of the songs.

To those who are following my blog, I am sorry about the ads. But I make money out of it. I usually try to relate it to my real content, but sometimes it is not possible.

I only really write for two paid-blogging services. PayU2Blog and PayPerPost.

Yes! I’m working on a new layout with my friend Futurhythm and we were supposed to finish it last night had I not passed out. Dx

It’s going to be a hybrid layout! I wanted to keep my banners at the same time have a new look, maximizing the space. Hybrid because it’s practically 2 layouts fused into one. Both are by Andreas Viklund.

My current layout, Andreas01 1.7, and his newer Daleri Selection 1.0.

I can’t WAIT to get it done!!!

Yey Fufu~~ <3

I’ve added new pages and updated some on the menu, in case no one hasn’t noticed yet.

Quotes
These are memorable or incriminating quotes that I feel (or remember) sharing online in IMs, IRC, or even in Real life. Started in August 2008.

Radio
My Internet radio that will only be on when I’m online which is pretty much all the time except when I’m not home (well… sometimes, I’m online too even when I’m not home… sometimes…)

Articles
These are writings I want to look at every now and then, or are actually useful. Reviews, Lyrics, articles, and so on.

Watchlist
This isn’t new, and I haven’t updated it much. But really, there’s nothing to update. I’ve barely watched any anime and drama lately because of school.

PayPerPost
It’s just a sign-up page for PayPerPost.

About Mi
I updated the stuff about me and my contact info. I put my real picture as well!

OMFG Blah!
This one is just the stuff I recorded. Not necessarily good, but hey, what the heck :D I’m probably going to change it to Music or something to accommodate MiMi, my music duo, and my other “albums” haha.

I walked with Ma’am de Villa to the Jeepney loading areas on the way home yesterday and we were talking about my plans after I graduate. I told her that I do plan to work at a call center because the pay is better and I wouldn’t have to take home my work and that I can’t look for a job in the middle of the school year.

Then she started talking about how my English is good, I know how to handle the students (lol) and so on, and that I should consider teaching in UPIS or something like that. And if I did consider it, it would be really easy for me, my path would be paved, my papers would be there already…

I don’t want to be tied down to a job where you have to take home your work. I want a job that as much as possible keeps work during office hours.

They say teaching is a calling. Apparently it is not mine.

I don’t want to be tied down to this country. I don’t want to be called a professional while an English-speaking college dropout earns more than me.

This doesn’t mean that I don’t love my country. I do. In fact, I want to teach Tagalog. Just not in high school.

*ah*

Meh… I WILL leave this country. Someday. By hook or by crook (just kidding).

Ahahaha…I should write that article for the “Buwan ng Wika”

Ahahahahahaha…. I miss Powder.

Well… thinking about that again, it would really be nice if I did consider it. Less work. I’ll even know the interviewers. Things would probably be a breeze for me. *sigh*

Today Joshy Pants can finally rest in peace.

I got a parcel notice yesterday and I picked it up today. I got new toys! But of course, my favorite is the bone wrist rest. It’s sooooo snazzy. It feels custom made. My wrist won’t hurt anymore :D

Bone wrist rest in action!

My name is Elizabeth.

There was no fancy thinking on how I got my name. It wasn’t because they dreamed big and wanted me to be queen-like. It wasn’t because it meant “consecrated to God” and they wanted me to be a nun.

She wanted to name me Clarissa or Clarisse, but my grandparents wouldn’t hear of it. Mama was given a list of names when I was born, and was told to choose from it. She picked Elizabeth because she thought, that would have a lot of nickname options–Elle, Eli, Liz, Iza, Eliza, Beth, and so on.

I grew up as Beth…at least, that was how I was called or referred to most often. I was sometimes called Sabet, Bekang, Bakekang, Rebecca, and Margie.
