Sudden Burst Of Emotion

Posted on Nov 13, 2010 at 11:23 pm under Ramble

Yes, I am really furious right now. But I think it’s best I wouldn’t my emotions get the better of me. In the event of having anger so strong, we sometimes forget to think accordingly for we take action right before we even will it because of this sudden burst of emotion. Talking about this makes me remember my Ethics class. >_< I was tortured during our Finals since we had to do an oral exam, which is the only basis for our Final grade. We had to study 9 chapters and our teacher gave us 58 guide questions, which are the questions in the exam and I don't know the answers for the most part of it so I really had to study and take it to heart. LOL.

You guys know that I really enjoy designing sites and stuffs. Years ago when my designs were still pretty crappy, yet acceptable, I started accepting design requests for free. There was one who asked for me to do a design and he even provided me with pictures. After I emailed him about the design, asking him if it was okay so I could code it, I didn't get a reply anymore. >_< It was really frustrating.

There was another one who oredered from me, an aspiring actress whose name will be revealed in my Hall of Shame as soon as I get my design site up. Right after I finished coding everything and was about to send her the .zip file, I asked for the money first. And I didn’t get a reply even if I contacted her for a week or so. Like, what?!

And you guys know about my experience last summer, about having an OJT and at the same time, having a sideline job. Guess what? I still didn’t receive the last half of the payment until now. I had finished the site last semester, which was around July or August. And to think that I even asked for a cheap charge. I made a whole website running on WordPress with a gallery and upload script for just $112 approximately. I used 3 databases all in all. My classmate even told me that it was way too cheap, I should have charged $178 or so. It was a difficult task but I managed to do my part and accepted it because I want to learn new things as I ventured in this web world.

That’s why I get to think about making a design/portfolio site to make things formal. I’m planning on giving those people not doing their job as a client or so a special place in my site because I don’t want this to happen to my fellow designers. I’m wary about anyone asking me to do a website because I have bad experiences regarding the issue.

Somehow it got me thinking that maybe Web Designing isn’t for me, but it’s the only thing that I really like and that really interests me in relation to my course. FML.
