2009 is, personally, the worst year I've ever had. If you been keeping in touch, it was mainly because of my unemployment woes. Even until now I only got a part-time job and I'm seriously dying for a full-time job. Financial problems are still there and if I were living all by myself I would be barely surviving (more like I'd be homeless by now). Luckily I'm still living in the same house as my parents and my siblings.

I find it moronic when people poke fun of single adults still living w/ their parents and their siblings. In this particular type of time there's just no way in hell that you can survive on your own without a decent paying job (or rather, without a job at all). Bad economy and unemployment pwns your pride, so drop it already. Best save yourself by living with your family. After all, unless if you came from a thoroughly dysfunctional family, they're there to support you and get your life back in order again. Don't be there just for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year. Be there for your families everyday (as they will also be there for you).

In other news, I've been currently working on the Samurai High School fanlisting and mini-info site. It's just a simple layout (since it is a fanlisting after all) but it has chock full of info in there, somewhat. I'm not expecting it to win any best drama awards for this one in Japan but it's a must-see if you want something that'd make you laugh (and cry at the same time if applicable). Once I put up some "edited clips" you'll see what I mean.

First project for the new year is to redo Bluedette. I seriously need a better-looking portfolio to present myself for future jobs. Seriously. And I need to study the new and upcoming web standards markups: HTML 5 and CSS3. Is there any recommended tutorial sites or even textbooks that would teach me both?
