Web Paging



I’m considering about being a website maker.

Sir Tom taught us how to make a web page. Okay, it’s not yet a web site, but I’ve still got 5 years of high school ahead of me.  

It’s kind complicated. The whole making of the web page thing. And it’s turning out to be just like Mathematics; make one false move and, BOOM! The whole thing ends up wrong. That’s why you only have to be so careful.

The other hard part of this is remembering all of the tags. There’s at least 20 tags, and each of ‘em has a special role.
                                                        
<td> table data     <h1> heading                     <font = “italic”  font size = “12” color = “red”> 
<tr>  table row      <body>defines the body    <html> html

But forgot anything it may be okay. But never ever forget <html>. This is the most important thing in my experience as a web page maker (although it’s not even been a week).

I’m trying hard in reviewing and memorizing them all. We have a Long Test on Monday and I’m determined to get a perfect score like an ox is determined to beat the matador holding the red sheet into a big squishy pulp!

That’s how determined I am! I’m so determined, I’m already thinking of violent example at this early in the morning!
BUILDING WEB PAGES IS LIKE BUILDING A WALL. It has to be precise

There’s another reason I want to get a perfect score.
See, before I wanted to make a website. A social networking site. You know, like Facebook. I thought if it became a smash hit, I could be the youngest self-made millionaire!

And when I become rich, I’ll dedicate it to the Computer Lab, which helped me practice my future web site making skillz.

High hopes? Sure. Impossible? Not quite. ;)

Re-discovery of The Search Engines

Hello there! I'm really busy right now homeworks and requirements and all that stuff, but I think I can squeeze a few minutes of blogging.

Oh My Gosh! I feel so happy with Comp Sci right now! I just got 23 out of 25 in a test. Not exactly the best score I could've gotten but still! It's high for my standards.

Next week we're gonna have more 'practical' activities in Comp Sci which I prefer more 'coz the practical tests means we learn more practical stuff.

In the last few lessons, we learned about search engines. My first thought when Sir Tom said it was,''What a perfectly good WASTE of a lesson! Who the heck doesn't know what search engines are and how to use them? Cavemen or more like Ramapithecus.'' 

But to my suprise, there are a bunch of stuff I do NOT know about search engines and their strategies and etc.

GOOGLE: The most favored search engine. I thought I knew a lot about it. I was wrong
Example, there's a program called Web Crawler or Bot that crawls all over the 'Net when you search for something. How it crawls all over the Web in a matter of seconds is beyond me.

The other one is the Bollean words/phrases/term-I-forgot. What are they you may ask? At first I thought it was some kind of spice or maybe a curse. Well, it's actually a blessing. AND,OR and Not. Those are Bollean. They kinda make your life easy. If type them in in caps-lock, for example rock AND paper, the results will show rock AND paper. When we tried it that's what came out. Rock paper scissors also came out. 

Also, using the letter -s at the end. See, if you type in say Russian Hotel, it's gonna show particular hotels or subscriptions to a single hotel. If you type Russian Hotel-s (yes, with an s) it's gonna show groups of Russian Hotels, or the Top 400 Russian Hotels, or etc.

Amazing how a single phrase or letter can make a HUGE difference.

Searching and My Other (Scary) Personality

Hello! It's me again! I told ya that I'd return!

Anyways,I'm here at home now. It's a 4-day weekend which means more time for R an R, but like I said the last time, Sir Tom is going to give us a test. And I'm eager(or so my room mates and mother told me) so I'm currently researching on stuff that we'll probably have to answer. See, I tend to get jumpy when there's a test after the weekend because if I fail, I'd feel really Stupid 'coz I had a lot of time during weekends. If I do fail, my conscience is gonna keep asking me,"What did you do this weekend? Nothing! You were a Stupid little girl thinking you could past the yest without reviewing! Sssstuuupiiidd..... Ssttttuuupppiiidd!!!!"

So, I put on my Serious face every time there's an upcoming test. It scares Mommy sometimes. And sometimes even the helpers.

So I spend a lot of time researching on this and that and I'd still feel unSure because I'm really scared of the word 'Failure".

The annoying thing is sometimes I research too much and, like, 60% of it isn't even included in the freaking test!! Or at other times I research the wrong things. Say the test was about Wireless Networks. If I wasn't listening I would think that the test was about Network Connectors. And then...... TADAAH! Automatic wasted weekend AND failed test!

I keep reminding myself whenever I hear Sir/Ma'am say the word test to listen up because Upcoming Test + Misheard Teacher = Failed Test.



I had problems about our broadband this morning 'coz I couldn't receive load. So I couldn't surf the Web. I was really frustrated because I really, really, REALLY need to use the Internet. I'm not exactly the most patient person my family knows and when I get really annoyed, Scary Sophia tends to come out.

I yelled at the time of my lungs(that caused our dog to yelp), forcefully tried to remove the broadband out and almost broke it, threw it to the floor(don't worry! It landed on the sofa) and shut down the laptop even if the windows were still open and wrote in my diary in big bold letters:

I HATE THE INTERNET!!!!

It's suprising how an empty stomach could turn me Ms. Scary in a matter of seconds.

Suddenly, I received a text on my phone. My phone already had a lot of texts so I decided to delete some. While I was scrolling, I read a GM I received the other night. Then, I suddenly realized when the GM said "Happy loooooong weekend" that our test was on THURSDAY, not Monday!

I groaned, copy pasted the tabs and closed windows. Well, Scary Sophia just turned into Stupid Sophia.

Well, now here I am, entertaining myself after I repeatedly bonked my head on my pillow. I hurts a bit, but I guess I deserve it. Bye for now. I'm hungry and Scary Sophia might come out again.....

Hey there! This is Pia Pie! I'm in our Computer Lab right now. Hey! I'm not 'illegally' surfing the web! We're having Blogging as a lesson. How cool is that? For me, the best lesson this quarter is this. It's saying much because the rest was for surfing the web and being flame warriors, etc.

You may be wondering why I chose Silly, Serious, Sassy, Sweet as my title. Well, it is a basic sum up of my personality. I don't know why I have this whole different personalities' thing. I just catch myself having a changing mood each day. On some days, I could sit alone in a corner and ponder why life sucks(emo alert!) and on others, I'll be a stupid ray of sunshine at home(which annoys my cousins to death).

I am loving Computer Science these days. Hands on is the best way I learn. And Sir just gave us a test for next week. Not loving it anymore....

Good bye for now. I'm going to search for other people I know on this site. I'll make sure I'm not as ignorant this weekend. Come again to read my blog. Remember: I shall return!
