Last week was a busy one. Life is getting busier and busy. I have to fight for every spare minute. But I am trying to do the best in getting school work done, having fun as well as working online. Aside from the normal boring routine, this past week I went to Lake Wauberg. We cooked on the grill, throw some football around. Climbed the rock and played Frisbee golf.

Other than that, I read some good posts on the forums. Helped a few people setting up their site and I enjoyed seeing my subscriber count increasing crazily. Can’t wait till it gets to 2k. Maybe it is time to add a newsletter. What do you guys think?

Well while you are thinking of that check out some cool posts that I liked.
