23 years…

So here I am, back on blogging after a long silence. But this long break was not because of the fact that I didn’t have anything to write. I think its fair to say that it was because I had so much to say that I couldn’t really figure out how to manage them all in to this little blog of mine. There were so many interesting things happening around me. They’ll always be in my memories. (Naah! I’m pretty sure I won’t forget them. So no! you won’t be reading them here hehe!)

Also its been a crazy semester. Just finished the last paper of the 2nd year final exam yesterady and I think I’m feeling kind of relaxed now. It’s funny, when I looked forward at this moment few weeks ago I never thought I’d be able to happily blog about the end of the exam šŸ™‚ But it went really well and I’m pretty satisfied with all the papers I had to answer. Considering all the crazy things I went through in the past few months I should be glad to be able to blog about it like this…

Anyways! yes! It’s my 23rd birthday today. I’m not quite sure what I’m feeling right now… But when I look back at the last round around the sun, I notice something different than the ones before. I see that I have learned so much about life on this ride. I saw how some things that seem to matter so much in our lives has no real meaning… I saw how easy it is for people to completely ignore the things that really matter in life… I saw how unexpected life can be… I realized that we should not be having too much expectations in life.

And also a really good outcome of all the problems I faced is that I got to make out the people around me. I realized who really cares about me, and who… well, lets say “doesn’t give a sh*t what happens” šŸ˜› Not that I’ll be treating the latter party differently(being angry with people for too long is NOT something I’m very good at) But its good to know that they will not be there for me when I need them. I was glad to see that there were people who believed on me. People who cared about me even when I was not in the usual “guy who saves the day” mode. And I pity the poor souls who tried to enjoy the show when I was down. Hope they’ll be able to stick to the mentality that they did the right thing. šŸ˜›

So after all these incidents I’m still doing pretty fine to start the next year of my life. And this time with a little more knowledge about life šŸ™‚ there’s a saying “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.” There were many of those moments in the past few months and I really gained strength from them. I will be facing good times and bad times as usual but I’ll know enough not to worry too much about any of them. I was having a great life with pretty much everything I really needed. I stupidly forgot that truth about me sometimes and I’ll try my best not to do that mistake again… because now I know, It’s good to be me! šŸ˜€

Finished moving to the new domain ;)

Finally, it’s done! šŸ˜€ Yep, I’ve finished moving all my previous posts from the old blog to the new site. Phew! Now it’s time to add some widgets and give my identity to the blog šŸ˜‰ Well, I had this idea to move to my own domain from wordpress.com, and now it’s done. Since this is a Blogger-hosted site, I can edit the layout without spending extra bucks, so here I am with my new style. Hope you all will like it šŸ™‚ If you’ve ever read my previous WP blog(s), you might know I’m a big fan of Garland (the famous Drupal/WP theme). I did find the Blogger version of the Garland theme, but then I thought it’d be nice to switch things up šŸ˜€
OK, enough for now. I’ll be back with more boring news šŸ˜‰

PS: A big thanks goes to my friend Bud @ geekaholic.org for the awesome help with the new site šŸ˜‰

Hap P B’Day Randy!!!

Ha ha! Can’t believe it? I don’t blame you because I forgot every year for the last 20 years 8O, but not this time!!! So here goes!

HAPPY B’DAY, RANDY! CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU GUYS AT OUR NEXT (best in the world) BEACH (LAN) PARTY :TWISTED: (I’ll make it the best beach party ever. And that’s a promise!)

PS: Hey, Randy! How’s the b’day card I mailed you? Will you believe me if I tell you that Aish took $4.5 million for that one? 😈 Yeah, the price is a bit high, but thanks to our buddy CNX, she didn’t take that much from me. lol

Yahooooooo! We got PayPal in Sri Lanka!

Yes, guys! Finally, PayPal supports Sri Lanka. I don’t need to remind you how much things sucked without it. But I was wondering, why hasn’t anyone blogged about it yet? Didn’t you guys know? It’s been a week already. Am I the only one who needed it? I’m sure I’m not. šŸ˜† -SeeJay

Here’s the email where I got the news:

84,000 Hits! My blog Rocks!

Blog stats! They’re always the coolest part of blogging. Seeing a big number, I’m sure all my fellow bloggers will agree with me, blog hits are like ice cream to a kid! We all love chasing more and more, and then some extra. I felt so thrilled to be a blogger back in the early days when I was getting 10 or 15 hits a day (sometimes even less). I couldn’t have been happier when I scored 120 hits one day! Now my blog gets way more than that, but I still crave more. Why do us bloggers love racking up hits? I can’t speak for everyone, but I think lots of us, myself included, feel like we’re helping people. It’s awesome to share knowledge with another curious mind. It’s human nature to feel special (happy, even) when you help someone with info, opinions, or anything really. That ā€œhappy feelingā€ is like nature’s gift to folks who lend a hand. And when people show their thanks with a comment, nothing tops that!

This is how I feel about my blogging life. I reckon plenty of bloggers think the same, though some might see it totally differently. Who knows? Maybe you do! If you’re a blogger, what keeps you blogging?

Happy B’Day Buddy!

I’ve done it again! I forgot my mango bud ChanuX’s birthday 😦 Yep, I’m totally careless for letting that slip! I’m ashamed to admit to you guys how ChanuX, along with Aza and Randy, planned my birthday party. I didn’t even remember my own birthday while they were getting ready to celebrate it. And you know what? I forgot all three birthdays of my best buds 😦 ChanuX’s was the third one 😦 Now I’m starting to believe my parents are right… I’m not just turning into a geek, I’m already a clueless one!!! Damn it, I didn’t even recall it until I saw it on ChanuX’s blog! I feel really awful about this. I honestly do!

ChanuX, buddy! I’m so sorry I forgot your birthday! Please don’t forgive me, kill me!!! I deserve it!!!
