live to learn, learn to live

i hate hate hate Moviemaker! no matter how cool the videos may seem after more than 6 minutes of runtime, it always hang s!it's so frustrating! the result? it was er, okay but i'm so bothered about the typographical error! grrr! instead of writing "The Political Economy of Flesh: Women As Portrayed by the Media", i spelled "portrayed" as "potrayed"!!! wtf! and when i try to edit it i always get the "orginal sources of files have been moved please check your yada yada yada" message all the time. anyway, i hope no one will notice it! i'd like to post the short video clip because it's pretty relevant to women's rights and globalization but i'm too embarassed HAHA!

i hate Windows Moviemaker. it's time to make the switch! a friend told me that if you're the multimedia artsy-fartsy type, iLIFE is way better than sticking with Windows. i bet it doesn't crash too. i had to restart the computer 5 effing times! or maybe it's time to learn how to do Flash. i must update my knowledge in webdesign and graphic design because i'm a poor amateur who doesn't know how to operate Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash.

among the long list that i want to LEARN are:
- web design with Dreamweaver
- hand coding for web design (using Notepad) or maybe i'm being too ambitious
- take a course in multimedia design (CSB is effing expensive)
- fine arts (yeah, Nice?)
- creative writing
- feature writing
- argh! who am i kidding? i want to take up Journalism!
- sign up for that certificate course in Creative writing at UP Diliman
- summer photography workshop at UP Fine Arts
- development studies (a second degree or post graduate course)

so there. ack. i don't know if this lifetime is enough for me to learn what i want to learn. it would be really sad if i don't get to try at least three of the items on the list above, though. this entry shall be my reminder. :)

on the darker side (haha), it's Wednesday again tomorrow. Wednesdays and I, we have a love-hate relationship.

SIDENOTE: hey you, thanks for the venti frap and stolen kisses. :)

yes.. i agree.. you need to switch to mac. if my iMac wasn't so slow (well it is old! it's a G3 that's why) i would still be using it. i've had it forever and it never caught a saingle virus. i'm just waiting (cuz i'm still saving up) but i really really can't wait to get my hands on that black macbook i've been wanting to get.
