... Hello? Yes, I am back!

Ah, my website. Been a while since I touch this site, as well as work on this code. Since then, I have worked on enhancing my skills, creating new apps (which I cannot disclose, unfortunately) in C++. I've also learned algorithms and memory allocations, as well as 3D vectors and bit conversion. Because of this, I feel motivated to come back again and rebuild this website. For now, I'm reminiscing my past self and how I approach this site. Definitely a *coughnoobcoughcough*. Anyways, I am looking forward into constructing a new site!

Whoa... what day is it?

I am back in style (you can say that figuratively speaking in regards to CSS).

Also, I am still fan of this tiny fonts. Makes expression feel... alive?

I am working on my website again! Woo! I'm actually in love with coding. Only time I had a REAL obstruction on my learning path is the ability to squish in time as much possible. I am actually caught up on all of my projects, as well as the lessons required to complete. My TA, David, has been very helpful and understanding of my current situation. We need more people in this world like him. Otherwise, I've been developing my professional career in regards to management. In ways, I can actually set those skills into development, such as time management, communication, team collaboration, and math.

Anyways, I will continue to build my skills so that one day, I can design the best website in the world!

Github.... Oh boy, was the lesson all over the place... LOL

It is rather simple to sign up for Github, connect accounts, and "push and commit". It's just the actual steps given were rather... unique to say.

Please don't kill me

This was a short week for me due to the amount of work I've been doing, covering for my manager, and ongoing list of random "unfortunate" times. But, I shall not give up! Thank you for reading this short day, but I shall continue my streak of actually doing these blogs.

Welcome again to my blog! Recent updates: been working a whole lot... Amazon sent lots of Mandatory Extra Time my way (getting close to my 60hrs a week... *wipes sweat*), so it reduced my time to actually work on my site... HOWEVER~ I was actually able to add an animation on what I always wanted... a running Chocobo gif on top of the screen. Isn't that amazing? Anyways, I'm continuing building my website. I love the ease of access Bootstrap has given to me... but I wanted to use actual code instead of "short-cutting", you know what I mean?

Anyways, my work in progress is as follows:

- Add a hamburger icon to the top right of the screen when in mobile mode
- Implement Javascript features
- Laugh a little once in a while
- Separate "Blog", "About Me", and "Contact Me" into separate websites for a cleaner look
Anyways! Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy your day/afternoon/night!!!

Hello, welcome again to my blog! I'm still not used to typing blogs, but well, there's always a start for everything, am I right? So far in my development journey, we have learned how to use grids, implement links to images, and use CSS stylesheets! Pretty impressive if I do say so myself. I do have a general idea due to my background learning back-end development on my free time earlier this year, but my brain is loving the new content. Thanks to all the TA's out there that helps out when things get rough, thou I definitely want to give the biggest shout out to David Marshall. The way he delivers his teaching method is amazing, but the biggest part of his deliverance is his gifs. Cannot live without the gifs, which adds extra flair to the teaching method. Kudos to you!

Besides that, I also want to give the extra shout out to all the instructors we had so far! I had the opportunity to grow as a software developer thanks to you all. So, thank you, Correlation One!

Until next time~ Peace!

PS. Just to add a little more about myself, here are some cosplays I have cosplayed in the past. Enjoy!

This may or may not be an excuse to do a quick requirement using grid... I don't know what you are talking about... *nervous in tiny letters*

This will be my first ever blog post I've created. I don't really know how to write down a blog, but considering that I'm already typing down what's in my thoughts already, I believe it is already turning into one...

Hoping so anyways... *laughs in tiny letters*

Either way, this is the beginning of my developing journey. Although I did had some development background in regards to back-end server side, I was learning by myself. Joining Correlation One so far, has actually given me the knowledge I need to further develop my skills as a developer. I cannot wait to learn more, and hope to add more to my skillsets!
