Who doesn’t go back on their words? I am sure everyone has done it at least once, even I have (numerous times, but nothing I would define as “serious” – ie. not small things like I will do the dishes tonight, I won’t eat junk food before dinner, I will return my library book eventually etc.). But what annoys the hell outta me is when people do it one too many times, especially when it comes to more important things such as a plan, a trip, a change in attitude or behavior, a goal… Maybe once or twice I can let it go, but pushing it beyond that is essentially asking me to blow up in their face.

Now, when I say “go back on their words”, I mean it as when someone tells you something they will do, or something they will stop doing, and then just when you least expect it, they break their words in half. Despite how sincere they were at the beginning, in the end it’s all just sugarcoated promises. Which brings me to another point, and also something for you to think about: what’s your perception of a “promise”? Does a promise actually need the phrase “I promise…” in there? Because I am beginning to really think that the next time I am told to expect something, I should just pretend it’s not gonna happen.

That way, when it actually doesn’t happen, I would be less disappointed.

P.S. I was going to blog about something completely different today, but I just had to let that out… Harhar, feel 10x better now. THIS is why I keep a blog lol! So anyway, my regular (happier) posts will follow shortly – it’s been saved as draft instead.

Har! New layout. Believe it or not, I actually brainstormed the idea for this layout while I was subwaying back home from work. The thought process basically went like this:

wanted a cartoon-y layout with some form of “me” in it → and since me = piggy (nickname my boyfriend calls me) → him = monkey (that’s what he calls himself even though he denies that fact) → pig gets bombed out of the monkey island – just because I wanted a 3D effect → island will be a pudding-looking-thing surrounded by the sea→ the island will be full of monkeys → none of them likes the pig and thus bombs her out of the island. The end! >o

And there you have it, this beautifully*cough*hand drawn layout. It’s also my first time illustrating an entire layout without the use of third-party tools (except my tablet, obviously). I am still a complete beginner in shading with photoshop, so please excuse the funky shadings.

On the other hand, yes moved domains again. I am afraid of like copyright issues on the last one. If anyone’s interested in adopting it please let me know, otherwise I am putting it on sale at my registrar. My old domain is called palumpolum.com. Again, I am sorry blogroll buddies! Does it help if I tell you this is the last time I am changing my blog domain, last time!

I am also thinking of starting some twitter contests in the very near future. Basically they’ll be about a couple days in length each and prizes range from Korean stationary to beauty products. If you want to be the first to hear about them, follow me @ovxii! Here’s a preview of what some of the prizes might look like:

This is a preview of Moved (again) & new layout.
