Caffeine on brain power
Drinking coffee has been part of my routine. I often found myself become very dependent on the power of caffeine to energize my brain and keep it going even after lunch. It has become my fuel, and I can't run my biological systems without first drinking coffee.

Cockroaches in my dream!
This post is not related to design, but I'm guessing there is no other place for this story.
To see a cockroach in your dream, signifies your need for renewal, rejuvenation and self-cleansing of your psychological, emotional, or spiritual being. You need to reevaluate major aspects of your life."
This has been one of the issues I've been trying to address these past months!

Some things I don't understand about myself
There are just times when you cant seem to focus on your task. What's even harder is that you can't find an inspiration and drive to reach the deadline. There are just some things about myself that I don't understand. I can't seem to get it if its just that I cant find an inspiration or if there's really something wrong with my system.

1-day Joomla tutorial for a client
My latest Joomla Web Design project for a personal client is about to end and as part of the package, I offered them a one-day tutorial on how to use Joomla CMS (Content Management System) to manage the contents of their website. I actually can't think of any CMS to use but Joomla! The client wanted a basic and simple website but something that's extensible enough for future plans like, online forums, news and updates page. And of course, the platform should be something that a non-technical client could easily understand and use.
