D’Arvit!

Yeah, I’m selling some of my used textbooks on Amazon.com.

I just bought my stuff for the coming semester, and then I realized that I have to get rid of those books that I don’t need anymore. XD

I’m posting my listings just in case somebody else is in need of a cheaper alternative to the money-draining listings found in your school bookstores. And yes, I take good care of my books, so all of these are in top condition!

Take a look. There could be some stuff that you might need:

College Physics by Serway, Raymond A.; Faughn, Jerry S.; Moses, Clement J. 6th Edition with CD (SOLD!)
[My first sale. I am in hysterics, or "IH" as the FG-ers say. XD ]
Abraham Lincoln, Slavery, and the Civil War [Paperback] by Michael P. Johnson (SOLD!)
[Oh yeah! Second one! I see a pattern! Perhaps I should start listing more books? :D]

Benjamin and William Franklin: Father and Son, Patriot and Loyalist (The Bedford Series in History and Culture) (SOLD!)

College Algebra (2nd Edition) (Beecher/Penna/Bittinger Series) (Hardcover)

Trigonometry (with BCA Tutorial and InfoTrac )

I’ll be listing only four five for now. I still have a College Trigonometry book, an American History book, and a Media book. I’m not selling my Chemistry, Calculus, Physics, and Biology books, since I still have a great need for those. I’ll be updating this list on my later posts.

Yesterday, I decided to be selfish for a change, so I went on to design my new blog theme. I still have that grunge-paper-texture fixation, so that’s what I was aiming for yesterday. Suddenly, my mom was like, “What is that? Fungus? Mould?”

My whole world came tumbling down.

I think I lost “my touch”. I have a bad habit of over-perfectionism when it comes to designing stuff–hence I work so slow.

Maybe not today.

Anyway, did I mention something about my mom’s aunt [a. k. a. my great aunt?] who was planning to sell butterflies online?

She originally asked my brother to make her an e-commerce site–but then again, Arjay forgot HTML and web design altogether, so he handed over the project to me.

I was really excited with this whole e-commerce thing, and I had a test version set up locally [powered by Wordpress, of course, using this nifty Wordpress shopping cart plugin].

Unfortunately, she got fed up of waiting and cancelled the whole thing altogether.

Her loss.

I mean, first of all, she doesn’t even have a business plan.

Heck, she didn’t even give me the real butterfly photos. What am I supposed to do? Go to Google Images and search for butterly pupae?

She was planning to sell wildlife for Pete’s sake!

She has to register her “business” and get approval from the DENR.

She has to get a PayPal account, SSL hosting [I won't host her!], and even a good domain name–and she expects me to do everything for her in a snap.

I’ve seen freelancers charge US$300 for a simple blog layout.

I’m offering my stuff for free.

Sure, I work a bit slow, but hey, I also have a life beyond my computer, don’t I?

Annoying.

PS:

Julie: Tuloy pa ba yung pinapagawa mong site? Sorry ang tagal ko gumawa ah, pero just leave me a message or something kasi I have a basic skeleton with me. If you’re still interested, I would be needing a logo, and rough ideas for site content.
Steph: Lapit na ng blog layout mo, konting hintay na lang.

PPS: This theme’s CSS is giving me headaches. I just found out recently that this theme
doesn’t look good in IE6. [Thanks to MichaelM for the Multiple IEs link!] I’ve fixed that now, along with other “bugs”. As you can see, I still have not fixed the ugly blue links on my bulleted lists–the theme designer isn’t too fond of them in the first place, hence his/her disregard for the link list styling. Hopefully, I’ll get my theme done after my Spanish finals. After my finals, I’ll have two weeks free to do anything I want before the Fall semester begins. I don’t think that the Vegas trip’s going to push through, but either way, it doesn’t matter, really.

/EDIT: Okay, I changed my theme once again. This time, this is compatible with IE6 and the lower versions of Firefox. I can’t wait to finish my own theme!
