One of my classmates who is an absolute pro in MySQL and backend development saw my website and laughed at how old and outdated it was. It’s sort of weird because I feel like the whole world disagrees with me when I say that older websites looked more lively and exciting than now. At least with movies a majority of people I meet say that movies nowadays are no longer as good as they used to be and film looks better than digital. Most people prefer older music. Using vinyls, cassettes, Ipods and old gaming consoles has finally become a trend long after I started doing it not because it was a trend but because that’s how I was like. I see many indie game developers going back towards the glorious PS1 style aesthetics. Heck, the most popular game of all time is literally a low poly block game with pixelated GUI’s and textures(Minecraft).
But it seems like for web design, everybody still prefers boring, lifeless and flat websites. It’s almost as if they’re avoiding it like the plague. Even though I’m one of the only people who make websites like these, it’s strange that 20 years ago, everybody was into cool, fun and exciting looks of websites. But it seems like after 2014, the whole human race instantaneously agreed that the world should look more boring and dull in order to be more appealing.
I find the weirdest thing about my strange obsession with old things to be the sudden excitement I get from clicking glossy 3D buttons, staring at skeuomorphic interfaces, playing pixelated and low poly video games. It’s almost like eye candy for me(in terms of design). For some reason, I feel like the older internet felt more like a computer than now. The only person I knew who actually agreed was my friend back in 6th grade who has now left. So really I’m one of the only ones obsessed with retro softwares around my area.
I thought this was only a digital problem but it’s happening in the real world too. Restaurants, malls and technology are all turning dull, ordinary, lifeless and most of the time downgraded to just a simple grey cube. I’m really sick of it. Which is why my website is my escape from all of this simplified mess. An escape from creating content for clout and views, addictive algorithms and AIs being shoved into everything possible.
If only there was a way to explain why I’m like this. Maybe I can make a series of articles that give insights towards what experiences shaped me to be fixated on numerous content and styles from the past.

4 Chicken pieces, 2 hours of dizziness, 6 floors up and down the hospital, One Kinder Joy, 20 pages and 1 doctor’s appointment later… I’m done. I’m not kidding. I've finished everything and submitted my video. I am genuinely excited that I’m finally done. Until 2 weeks ago, I thought choosing a new topic was impossible. 2 weeks ago I thought coming up with a melody would be impossible. One week ago, I doubted that I would finish my animation within a week. 3 days ago, I doubted that I could fix the major glitches in my project. But nevertheless, I finally finished this thing, all while having a chronic cough and a fever.
Honestly, I don't even care if I win anymore. At this point, animating this was such a hassle that I’m happy enough about being able to submit something. 2 weeks ago I was actually thinking of quitting, thank goodness I didn’t do that. All I really hope for is that I make it to the finals. If I win that’s even better but I’m glad that I am able to relax and work on things that I actually want to do, such as my new game.
This animation has become a huge milestone for my animation career as it was the first time that I used Madlip, gave my characters fingers and put proper lighting into my backgrounds. I will be releasing the animation on scratch anytime soon. This post marks the end of my series of blogs about working on the project and I will be starting a new series of blog posts that will focus more on other things I do. Overall, I am quite proud of myself and the future of my animation/music/programming skills seem vastly bright.
April 14 2026
I’m practically done with the animation at this point, I’ve done almost everything such as fix background lag, some more lip syncing issues and added subtitles. I was able to work on the subtitles when I finished my wellness assessment but one of my classmates saw me. Luckily, he doesn’t have much knowledge on the topic. So far, the only people who've heard the song are my parents and my friend who likes to write music sometimes. The very first person to see my finished product was my mom and she loved it. Tomorrow is my last day but technically it’s Thursday. The thing is, the animation is due at 4:00PM on Thursday and I do not want to risk working on it on the due date because If I am late by even one second, everything that I’ve dedicated the full maximum of my ability into would be lost. Which is why Wednesday is my final push. I really hope I can finally finish this, I’ll make some final blog posts tomorrow.
April 14 2026
I was going to write a blog post yesterday but I just simply did not have the time to. Yesterday was entirely dedicated to fixing glitches and I found them incredibly frustrating. Actually using Madlip in general has been frustrating for the past few days. I really hope that my future animations don't have as many problems with Madlip as now. But luckily, I was able to work out the timing and lip syncing issues.
April 12 2026
Yesterday, I reached a new milestone in my animation career. For years and years me and Aboomination have been using a custom block I made that would determine the position and the amount of time the mouth would be open. It worked ages but it was a time consuming and daunting process as we would have to use trial and error to get the timing right. Around half of what took me so long to animate was due to lip syncing. When I found out I only had 9 days left, I had to use Madlip for the first time which was a software I made 3 years ago where the lip syncing would be based on the rhythmic timing of clicking a button with your fingers rather than time intervals down to the decimal point. Though the software was never put to use until now where I was able to go lightning fast towards finishing the lip syncing. I wish I could do more but I had to go see the mario movie.
April 11 2026
Outside of working on my animation I took quite a break today to watch the new mario movie with my friends. I don’t really want to go too deep into my thoughts on the movie but what was interesting was my noticing of the billions of references to other games that no one else understood. I was immensely excited, almost as much as the first time I saw the 3rd sonic movie. I remember freaking out over finding the nintendo 64 logo in the background and telling my friend beside me about it and he said “You’re so old school”. I also found it quite astonishing when they had a slushie in the Philippines for the first time in a while and the popcorn was good as usual.
April 11 2026
I was planning on working on the animation for a little bit yesterday but instead I just had some noodles and played lego island 2. Which I finished for the second time, mostly because Friday was more of a day off for me. I know having a day-off is a horrible idea when you only have 5 days to complete an animation but you really cannot do much when you're going swimming at your friends house for Fridays. Today, I wouldn’t say that this would be part 3 of the grind because I don’t really have much to do left, I already drew almost everything leaving me with the lip syncing and coding everything together.
April 9 2026
Two Peperos, One cronut, 12 chips, and one upset stomach later… I have probably done the most work I’ve ever done on an animation EVER! It turns out doing a character is a lot more time consuming than backgrounds and I was able to make 183 total frames for the main character. This means that almost every frame has been drawn leaving the less fun part which is coding and lip syncing. But luckily I have a nice trick for lip syncing that I’ll talk about on Saturday. Anyways I think It’s a perfect time for me to rest now, I’ve done plenty of work today.
THE GRIND!!!! part 2 - April 9 2026
Today marks the start of part two of THE GRIND!!! I think I am going to be even more productive than last time mostly because I have almost the entire day since I don't have school. My current goal is to draw all frames for the character singing and if I have time left I might do some lip syncing. Let the second grind begin!
April 8 2026
One piece of chewing gum, two sodas, 5 Peperos and one deep and meaningful conversation with my dad about his life story later… I am proud to say that I was able to divide the audio into pieces, draw all backgrounds for the video and added some finishing touches(shadows and lighting). I was gonna work on the first two verses but I found it better to work by layers(background, animations and lip syncing) rather than working on completed scenes each day. Anyways I found this day exceedingly productive and I hope to do even more with my full day-off.
THE GRIND!!!! - April 8 2026
Yep, that’s right I even titled my blog post for the first time in months to show how serious I am about this. As you can see THE GRIND is going to be my 1 and a half day working session of nonstop animating. Now really my goal is to finish the first two verses today but really I’m trying to do as much as possible(which means until I have to sleep). I’ll post again once I’m done. Let the grind begin!
April 8 2026
Good news! I’m finally done with the vocals and I am very excited because writing the song and recording the vocals were the hardest part. So now I’m just gonna have to work on the animation which I’m used to but the only real challenge is the amount of time I have left. I will continue to keep updating you on my progress.
April 7 2026
I'M COOKED!!!!!!! Now most of the time I don’t really use a lot of slang in my blog posts but I wanna clearly express my reaction to the fact that my due date for the Bearcat Idol animation has been reduced from 3 weeks to 9 days! I haven’t even finished recording my vocals but thankfully I’ve already written the song, the lyrics and produced the background. Because of that, I will be constantly writing daily blog posts recording my progress. And if I focus enough and not procrastinate(hint hint) on my work I might be able to pass through one of the most daunting tasks of my entire school journey so my trip to Sydney in summer will finally be worth it!
April 4 2026
You may have noticed that I haven’t been online for more than a week and it’s because I’ve been focusing on my new submission for bearcat idol. The first 5 days went rough mostly because I was having trouble coming up with the song, it then destroyed my motivation and was panicking at my struggle to write a good song. It was only on thursday when I finally came up with a good song and I realised that one of the best tips within writing a song is patience. All that music theory stuff was not working well for me(same with other legendary writers) my mom was even planning on getting me a composition coach. But a day later when I finally calmed down I came up with an amazing song and now I’m almost done producing it.

Yesterday I just won one of my first Jujitsu matches. Wednesday is actually one of my least favorite days. Normally I get to be in the library for 1 and a half hours to do homework. Although, this excludes Wednesday because I have Jiujitsu and Friday because of Fridays™. Now the only reason why I’m doing Jujitsu is because I need to do a sport. I don’t want to be that guy who doesn't do any sport and just creates websites. Especially since my brother is a red belt in taekwondo and does basketball training. The thing is, I don’t have much against jujitsu but I do prefer doing homework in the library rather than at home or the car.

Last Friday at my friend’s house before moving, I took a photo of every room in the house that I could use for inspiration for Friday Wars in case I forget what it looks like. Then I took a ride in the trunk and saw how huge the backyard of the new house is. Another friend there told me he wanted to be a director and said that this unfinished garden would make a great setting for an action film. I was eager to make a film with someone actually dedicated to directing, especially since I’ve had a bad history with making films on Fridays. But first, I needed to know what actual movies he watched and he told me “Inglorious Basterds”. I was fully convinced and now I have a week or 2 to write the screenplay.
Mar 20 2026
My English teacher suggested that I watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. He told me that it is one of the best science fiction films of all time. Over the past few days I've been very fond of Stanley Kubrick's way of making films. This was especially after I watched Full Metal Jacket, which was an incredible film. After seeing how epic a Kubrick film was I was fully convinced to watch what people say is his best film of his entire existence as a director. I was finally ready to watch the magnum opus of Sci-fi, the best of the best, THE science fiction film.
When I finished it, I was… umm confused. Ok, well the movie is very dragging and I don’t have a short attention span. I’ve seen some dragging films but man that film was reeeeaaaallllyyyyy dragging. It was almost like they wanted to complete the 2 hour slot and realised they didn’t have enough budget to fill up the last hour so they just stretched the scenes to a great extent.
I get it, you're probably gonna hate me for this Odyssey fans but it could be because I’m too young? But even my dad was confused and he swore to never watch it again. Maybe I’m just not looking at it the right way. The effects were mind blowing and I can see how it won the oscar for best VFX. Although I don't understand why it's praised by many viewers and critics. There has to be some deep meaning behind it because I am very confused. If I was more of a cinephile it would probably be my favorite film. But for now, all I took from the movie was:
Amazing classical music that put my dad to sleep,
Monkey, Monkey, more Monkeys.
Monolith,
“Oh wow cool” special effects
Slow and long continuous scenes
babies.
I sure do hope I can understand it more and maybe someday I will admire it.

I was having second thoughts on whether I should join my Friend’s Minecraft server. At first, I was sort of against Minecraft because everything we used to do in the ROSC is being replaced by Minecraft. I missed doing all of the cool adventures in real life rather than a video game. Now that I think of it, the ROSC was never in real life either, it was a website, a digital website. The Minecraft server is also having a website too! So really the Minecraft server isn’t rather a digital replacement, but instead a revival of the hobbies we had making cool websites but now it’s based off what happens in Minecraft rather than the arguments we had in discord.
I was almost convinced to join but there was one more reason why I didn’t ant to be included into the whole thing. I was having a huge problem with Friday’s. It seems like all the cool games we would play was replaced with Minecraft. I only wanted to join the server if people would get off their devices without me having to tell them to during Fridays.
Yesterday I expected Fridays to start of as usual. Everybody just no-lifing on their laptops playing Minecraft. But then I realized something that I’ve never noticed before. After a few minutes, they would just stop playing eventually and do something more active.
The whole time, I’ve thought that if I never told them to play something, they would play video games the entire time. But I never tried not doing anything because I never thought they would stop. So yesterday, I laid down on the floor and did nothing to see if anything happens. Surprisingly, they did.
Because of that, I am now fully convinced to join the server.

I’m very glad to know that my cassette tapes are fine. Recently, there was a water leak from the roof of my house. I went upstairs and noticed that my brother left the tap on for over half an hour. There was water dripping from multiple parts of the roof. My brother was dramatising the whole thing and went “We’re all gonna die!!!! AHHHH!!!”. Not very helpful for the guy who accidentally started to flood my house. Everything is fine now and all of the water has dried up.

Last night I just had one of the scariest nightmares I’ve ever had in my life. I think it started with me going on my laptop as usual. For some reason it was booting up, which was not common especially since I don’t shut down my laptop often. My computer’s start screen was nothing abnormal. When my wallpaper shows, I habitually move my cursor to the dock to open chrome.
Suddenly, my eye catches something. Fear and horror immediately spreads everywhere within me. Something unimaginable appears in front of me. A horrifying image that I’ve feared for months. I saw the finder logo surrounded by a white border. Then I looked at the trash can, it looked ugly af(as fudge). My eyes shifted to the top of the screen, the menu bar was transparent. It was only until I stared at the window with an incredibly high border radius that I was convinced that my Mac was updated to MacOS 16 Tahoe. I was in an impulsive panic.

My favorite part of the week that makes all of the work I do in school worth it is when I visit my friends house every friday. Now my cousin does visit my house every saturday but it can be a bit boring because my cousin usually just plays with my brother because they’re similar in age and the adults who visit just hangout with my parents. I do have @MVP3GOAT who is around my age but he doesn’t do anything but play Rivals on his laptop but he's fun to hangout with sometimes. So really, the only people I have fun talking to are my parents.
Which is why hanging out in my friend's house(commonly referred to as “Fridays”) is truly the best time of the week. If the school week was a movie, then Fridays would be like the happy ending where everybody has some random party with “September” or whatever playing in the background. 60% of the joy I get on Friday is on Fridays while the other 40% is the excitement of me knowing that I’m going to Fridays during class.
The moment that school ends, it feels like the gates of heaven have opened leaving me only several footsteps away from the weekend. I usually get picked up by my friends to avoid traffic issues. The drive to the house mostly consists of me playing Sonic Robo Blast 2, watching unstable SMP and the most unhinged Charlie Kirk videos on instagram of this insensitive generation. The memes are quite offensive but they’re too ridiculous for me not to laugh at them.
Once we arrive at the house, the first 30 minutes of us there start off with my friends playing minecraft for a bit. Gaming used to be a huge problem on Fridays and caused me to almost permanently quit Fridays. But it's fine now because the gaming sessions only start off in the beginning when not many people arrive and at the near end where almost everybody leaves. Fridays peaks during the middle after everybody has come. There are tons of things we do during Fridays. There really needs to be a balance when it comes to activities. Before, the games were full of rules, a strict way of doing things and timers. One example of this is Friday wars which was originally an IRL MMORPG game where you would do quests and stuff. It sort of ruined Fridays because people felt bored and restricted. In contrast, if we couldn’t think of anything to do, people would just get bored and return to their devices. Now, we think of activities to do on Fridays several days in advance with no specific structure.
Sometimes we would play typical Nerf battles or we would build forts. My favorite thing to do on Fridays is role playing because it's a huge opportunity for us to use our humour to our advantage. Sometimes we would make cities, offices, malls, motels etc. On some rare occasions, we would make films just like The Friday Movie. When we get too tired to do anything active, we would just play Jeopardy. We’re planning to play who wants to be a millionaire but since most of us are quite privileged, we’re calling it “Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire”. Where the winner would lose money.

What should I work on for Bearcat Idol? I know, it's still 3 months away but animation takes time. Now I am 100% sure that my submission is going to be an animation. But I'm still thinking about what the animation should be. I have a few options. I can make a sequel to Middle School Musical although most of the time, sequels don't really do as well as the original if it is mostly similar and recycled. Doing the same thing is more safe but I can also do something completely different. I can also make an entirely new topic for a new song or even an experimental short film. If it works then there will be a much higher chance that it will be successful but it's incredibly risky. People may find it odd for me to transition from a up-beat generic song about middle school to something like
So really, I don't want to do anything that may be too experimental. Maybe I should take some inspiration from what I did in my previous talent shows. My first talent show was in a Mcdonalds Kiddie Crew program. On the last day, there was be a talent show. My talent was running around the room without touching the grout lines.
That probably won't help. When I returned to the Kiddie Crew a year later, I decided to do something more talented. So I just played Chimes on the piano. Since then, I haven’t had another talent show until my first Bearcat Idol submission. Because the previous year’s winner was an animation, I submitted my How 2 Animate Quick and Fast video. My video lost to another animation made by the same girl who won last year. Which leads us back to Middle School Musical.
Based on my successes and other winners, it seems that animation is a go-to option. Most of them are music videos and historically, music related animations have done well. It seems that I'm going to have to write another song.
But Middle School Musical was just an Idea that luckily came to my mind when I was 10. Coming up with a melody that good and striking gold is probably not going to work since I only have 3 months left! I don’t even know what the song should be about! Should it be about middle school again? 8th grade? Manila? Math Class? Bringing awareness about the flaws of a capitalistic society? Vegemite!?!?!? I don’t think I am going to be able to come up with a song again within 3 mon-
...
Wait.
I got it! I know exactly what I should do. I know what the talent is going to be. I finally got a genius idea that will definitely make me win the competition!
I’m going to run around the room without touching the grout lines!!!

I am going to be away in camp for 4 days so I won't be updating the website or writing any posts until Friday.
Feb 2 2026
On this day of February 2, 2026, The Republic of Sus Cringers was shut down after 3 years. The ROSC was a huge part of my middle school life especially since it was started in 5th grade and ended today in 8th grade. The ROSC’s website was a major leap in my coding skills and the political system was fun. Outside of the website, it was a creative way for me and my friends to do amazing projects and events together. Although, managing the website was a pain in the apps. The ROSC’s website was impressively unique and well designed but neocities are mostly limited due to its inability to support back end, and how manual everything was. Finding a good meme for the meme of the week was incredibly hard and even worse was the calendar. Publishing a news article is arguably more difficult than actually writing it at the time. Managing the website got even harder after opening my own website. The thing is that, more than half of my free time in middle school revolved around the ROSC. The political system was fun at first but got too serious and led to too many unnecessary arguments and friendship issues. On the other hand, I will never forget the times I had making websites on google slides with my friends, no-lifting on maps, cards and other cool side projects, making fun little games for the group and roasting Chol-hee on the presidential election survey. I was going to write an article about it but Edge already wrote one on the ROSC website. Instead, I’m going to be writing a complete history of the ROSC and my significant involvement in it.

I was thinking of trying some animation softwares other than scratch so I decided to try Tupitube. Now after waiting 6 hours for it to install on my computer, I had to wait until the next day. I was too exited to use it so as soon as I got back from school, I played around with the program. I've had Tupitube on my laptop for a while but I never bothered to try it. The number one reason why I wanted to use Tupitube is because it looks so much more professional and nicer. Scratch has these big buttons with flat colors and it looks like a boring kids today while Tupitube has small cluttered buttons with gray gradients which makes it look cooler. The design alone was a good enough reason to use Tupitube. I was so hyped, I was even thinking of leaving scratch and switching entirely to Tupitube.
I was incredibly disappointed when I first tried out the animation software. Now it has an amazing design and the frame editing and layout is amazing. It works just like any other software. The graphics editor on the other hand is an incredible weak point for the app. It does have basic features such as shapes, drawings, line tools and text. The main problem I have is the shaping tool. It’s mostly confusing and you can’t use the shaping tool on shapes like squares or circles unlike scratch. Another thing is that as soon as you finish shaping an object, you cannot edit it again.
I did try OpenToonz for a while but I don’t think I’m ready for it yet. I think I am going to stick with Scratch or Turbowarp for now especially since I am most of the time used to animating on scratch.
Jan 18 2026
I think the weekend is too short. Maybe it's because I've gone too used to winter break or I've just been more busy during the weekend. I don't mean animation and coding busy but family things busy. I just don't think 2 days is enough for me to do a lot of stuff. This also makes a huge limitation because I'm not allowed to produce music or use my computer during schooldays meaning that I only have 2 days a work to work on basically anything.
Now I’m that a majority of students just don’t like school and rather have a 7 day weekend but I’m I don’t really dislike school. I think sometime in my teen years I just realized that no matter how much I complain, I’m going to have to do school anyways. Most of the time I enjoy school because many my teachers are really cool and most of the activities are pretty fun(especially science).
My brother was telling me how he is scared of middle school because of how much homework he has to do so I told him that in science class, the teacher dressed up in a wizard suit and we got to see chemicals being mixed and we even got to see him hold a wand out in the air and make it light up(he just burned magnesium). I also told him that this week we are going to make ice cream in under 5 minutes. That made my brother cry and then he told me how he hates being in elementary school and he wanted to be in middle school because it sounded more fun.
Now to be more realistic, I am struggling with some subjects and there is a lot more homework but I’m fine with it because know that my hard work is for the Game Boy Advance® I got. But overall the only things about school I don’t really like as much is how early it is, Chinese and PE.

Around Christmas, I received a new computer for Christmas. The computer in question is a raspberry pi. Now my friends say that a Raspberry Pi isn't fully a PC but thats probably because their PC's are like the size of like a shelf. I'm very glad I have a Raspberry Pi because I can finally use a linux and customize it to look like a Windows XP which is the closest thing to having one. Its only 4GB of Ram but thats fine because its good enough to run Minecraft and Penguinmod projects.
It may not be as powerful as my Macbook nor can it run Assasins Creed Shadows without blowing up my PC but its good enough to run software that I will normally use for productivity.
Another reason why I'm going to use my Raspberry pi more often is because I can finally have a seperate computer for personal use rather than storing my animations and games on my school laptop. I could just get an actual PC but a Raspberry Pi doesn't take up much space, it can run TwisterOS which has a very accurate Windows XP theme which can motivate me to code more and the softwares I use don't take up too much power unlike video editing softwares.

New year new domain! I'm so exited about the new domain. I can finally use my php skills and share my projects that coudn't be released on neocities.
Jan 6 2026
Wow! Who would've known that my first blog post I make straight after 2025 and just after finishing my website would be me leaving the website straight away. After receiving the ownership of messydesk.online, I finally figured out how to move my files to the domain. This means that the neocities website will become inactive but not deleted for archival purposes. I will see you in my new website! Learn More

"I can't beleive that 2025 is already ending, it wen't by so fast!!!!!!
That's pretty much what everybody is thinking right now before new years. I think it's because either they were having such a blast in 2025 that they didn't care what time of the year it was or they probably forgot about what happened in between New Years and today besides important events. This is just like how I felt like I finished 7th grade in a brisk and that was probably because 7th grade was much more interesting than the other grades, that I didn't care about how many days until summer break.
If I were to look back, I think it would be the first reason. I just felt much more productive this year especially compared to 2024 where most of what I did after the animator battles was just watch youtube and did nothing else. I've finally finished a few abandoned projects, created a musical and most importantly finished this website just before Christmas. I'm hoping for the next year to be just as good and I probably might start working on a few things with MVP3GOAT. For the blog, I hope to make my posts more exciting and interesting. Rather than just giving a summary on a few changes I made to this website, I want to go more into my thoughts and opinions. I hope to make it feel more like I'm narrating a movie or maybe those popular novels that are shown in the form of a Journal. Enough Yap, I'll be back next year!

I woke up today after a very long Christmas Eve and for the first time, there was no presents under the Christmas tree for me. At first I was shocked but I didn't realy mind. My Christmas gift yesterday was having the ownership of Messydesk.online. This means that I might stop using neocities and start moving my website to under my own domain.
Dec 24 2025
Today is Christmas Eve which is why I decided that until Christmas ends, I can only watch and play something related to Christmas. So what better way to spend the rest of my free time before my family dinner than playing Elf Bowling on the GBA.

This is it. I’m done, I am finally done. You know, after 2 years of designing countless websites for people groups that each mark memorable parts of my life, I’ve never made a single completed website for myself. Most of them were just managed by me, maybe had a different name or shared with other people. But this ends now. I’ve made three failed attempts on making a website. The fourth attempt hasn’t failed but instead has been constantly ignored with continuous delays and an abundance of procrastination. Most of the time I would do slight improvements for an entire day adding new features. Now, all of this work has finally become worth it as I have finally finished my very first full and complete
Messydesk-studios website
More features may come soon but I’ve finished everything I’ve needed now. From now on, this website will be constantly updated with new articles, blogs and projects and will be kept as an e-portfolio for others to view. As of December 23, 2025, the website has been officially opened!!!!! Enjoy!

During the afternoon, I was adding a few more parts to my about page. Something that has been bugging me was the grammatical and spelling errors. To make the site look more professional, I used autocorrect to correct spelling and grammar mistakes from my blog, news articles and articles. I will grammar correct the about page once I finish it.

Around this morning, the scratch team removed some content from my profile. They removed links to my website since I'm not allowed to share personal info which makes sense. Although they removed my face test project only because the thumbnail showed a picture of my face covered with cartoon eyes. This kind of makes sense but I didn;t show my full face. The removal that makes the most sense is the deletion of my Swiftie shooter game. Which makes 100% sense since the game incites violence.

School's started now. I know that I haven't made a post since the stone age but I'm working on a few things.
June 11 2025
School is finally finished! I hope this summer break gives me enough time to work on the website. Although there has been a recent problem with the ROSC website. Every time I try to update something, it takes more than a day to update.
May 29 2025
I officially have less than a week until school ends. I'm very excited. Once summer break starts, I will be working on the website more often. I will be giving some updates to complete the website such as finishing the history, finishing the directory, updating the blog, updating the videos and games, add a new article and even add a shop :o
May 23 2025
Tomorrow is my birthday party, I'm really excited. also I won bearcat idol :D
April 11 2025
It's been a while since I blogged something. I finished my song for bearcat idol, I just need to make a few edits then work on the animation. I only have to weeks left, so I'm going to have to make a proper plan so I don't stress over it.
March 8 2025
I'm currently working on a new version of my social network, Platsville. Although I'm currently trying to find which server to use. Originally I was going to use ruby on rails, although you're gonna need a terminal to install it(I don't trust the terminal). Then I was going to use buddypress, but apparently you need to pay in order to use it. Abyss server is good, but I don't know if it's built for making a social network. My only option left is Elgg: It's free, You don't need a terminal and it's built for social networks. There's only one small problem: HOW THE HECK DO I USE THIS!?!?!??!! Everything is so confusing and I can't find a tutorial.
March 4 2025
Trying to learn python by making a game called "ISM simulator" an interactive text-based choose your own adventure. Although I'm a noob and I'm struggling with a lot of glitches. So I asked for help from a classmate who's an expert at Python. He can't fix the glitch either. So I gave the idea to my classmate and let him make it into his own game instead(I just hope he credits me).
Feb 26 2025
Today is my last day before heading off to my family trip, which is why I'm trying to be as productive as possible. Unfortunately I can't work on the Middle school Musical right now because my friend isn't online, so I'm gonna wait until next week. In the meantime, I'm adding more updates to my Taylor Swift video game. I added code to make the game more difficult every 5 seconds to make it more challenging for the player.
My first blog post! - February 26 2025
This is my first blog post ever. The blog will be where I will be keeping updates on how my projects are going or sharing my thoughts. Kind of like a little journal
One of my classmates who is an absolute pro in MySQL and backend development saw my website and laughed at how old and outdated it was. It’s sort of weird because I feel like the whole world disagrees with me when I say that older websites looked more lively and exciting than now. At least with movies a majority of people I meet say that movies nowadays are no longer as good as they used to be and film looks better than digital. Most people prefer older music. Using vinyls, cassettes, Ipods and old gaming consoles has finally become a trend long after I started doing it not because it was a trend but because that’s how I was like. I see many indie game developers going back towards the glorious PS1 style aesthetics. Heck, the most popular game of all time is literally a low poly block game with pixelated GUI’s and textures(Minecraft).
But it seems like for web design, everybody still prefers boring, lifeless and flat websites. It’s almost as if they’re avoiding it like the plague. Even though I’m one of the only people who make websites like these, it’s strange that 20 years ago, everybody was into cool, fun and exciting looks of websites. But it seems like after 2014, the whole human race instantaneously agreed that the world should look more boring and dull in order to be more appealing.
I find the weirdest thing about my strange obsession with old things to be the sudden excitement I get from clicking glossy 3D buttons, staring at skeuomorphic interfaces, playing pixelated and low poly video games. It’s almost like eye candy for me(in terms of design). For some reason, I feel like the older internet felt more like a computer than now. The only person I knew who actually agreed was my friend back in 6th grade who has now left. So really I’m one of the only ones obsessed with retro softwares around my area.
I thought this was only a digital problem but it’s happening in the real world too. Restaurants, malls and technology are all turning dull, ordinary, lifeless and most of the time downgraded to just a simple grey cube. I’m really sick of it. Which is why my website is my escape from all of this simplified mess. An escape from creating content for clout and views, addictive algorithms and AIs being shoved into everything possible.
If only there was a way to explain why I’m like this. Maybe I can make a series of articles that give insights towards what experiences shaped me to be fixated on numerous content and styles from the past.
April 15 2026
4 Chicken pieces, 2 hours of dizziness, 6 floors up and down the hospital, One Kinder Joy, 20 pages and 1 doctor’s appointment later… I’m done. I’m not kidding. I've finished everything and submitted my video. I am genuinely excited that I’m finally done. Until 2 weeks ago, I thought choosing a new topic was impossible. 2 weeks ago I thought coming up with a melody would be impossible. One week ago, I doubted that I would finish my animation within a week. 3 days ago, I doubted that I could fix the major glitches in my project. But nevertheless, I finally finished this thing, all while having a chronic cough and a fever.
Honestly, I don't even care if I win anymore. At this point, animating this was such a hassle that I’m happy enough about being able to submit something. 2 weeks ago I was actually thinking of quitting, thank goodness I didn’t do that. All I really hope for is that I make it to the finals. If I win that’s even better but I’m glad that I am able to relax and work on things that I actually want to do, such as my new game.
This animation has become a huge milestone for my animation career as it was the first time that I used Madlip, gave my characters fingers and put proper lighting into my backgrounds. I will be releasing the animation on scratch anytime soon. This post marks the end of my series of blogs about working on the project and I will be starting a new series of blog posts that will focus more on other things I do. Overall, I am quite proud of myself and the future of my animation/music/programming skills seem vastly bright.
April 14 2026
I’m practically done with the animation at this point, I’ve done almost everything such as fix background lag, some more lip syncing issues and added subtitles. I was able to work on the subtitles when I finished my wellness assessment but one of my classmates saw me. Luckily, he doesn’t have much knowledge on the topic. So far, the only people who've heard the song are my parents and my friend who likes to write music sometimes. The very first person to see my finished product was my mom and she loved it. Tomorrow is my last day but technically it’s Thursday. The thing is, the animation is due at 4:00PM on Thursday and I do not want to risk working on it on the due date because If I am late by even one second, everything that I’ve dedicated the full maximum of my ability into would be lost. Which is why Wednesday is my final push. I really hope I can finally finish this, I’ll make some final blog posts tomorrow.
April 14 2026
I was going to write a blog post yesterday but I just simply did not have the time to. Yesterday was entirely dedicated to fixing glitches and I found them incredibly frustrating. Actually using Madlip in general has been frustrating for the past few days. I really hope that my future animations don't have as many problems with Madlip as now. But luckily, I was able to work out the timing and lip syncing issues.
April 12 2026
Yesterday, I reached a new milestone in my animation career. For years and years me and Aboomination have been using a custom block I made that would determine the position and the amount of time the mouth would be open. It worked ages but it was a time consuming and daunting process as we would have to use trial and error to get the timing right. Around half of what took me so long to animate was due to lip syncing. When I found out I only had 9 days left, I had to use Madlip for the first time which was a software I made 3 years ago where the lip syncing would be based on the rhythmic timing of clicking a button with your fingers rather than time intervals down to the decimal point. Though the software was never put to use until now where I was able to go lightning fast towards finishing the lip syncing. I wish I could do more but I had to go see the mario movie.
April 11 2026
Outside of working on my animation I took quite a break today to watch the new mario movie with my friends. I don’t really want to go too deep into my thoughts on the movie but what was interesting was my noticing of the billions of references to other games that no one else understood. I was immensely excited, almost as much as the first time I saw the 3rd sonic movie. I remember freaking out over finding the nintendo 64 logo in the background and telling my friend beside me about it and he said “You’re so old school”. I also found it quite astonishing when they had a slushie in the Philippines for the first time in a while and the popcorn was good as usual.
April 11 2026
I was planning on working on the animation for a little bit yesterday but instead I just had some noodles and played lego island 2. Which I finished for the second time, mostly because Friday was more of a day off for me. I know having a day-off is a horrible idea when you only have 5 days to complete an animation but you really cannot do much when you're going swimming at your friends house for Fridays. Today, I wouldn’t say that this would be part 3 of the grind because I don’t really have much to do left, I already drew almost everything leaving me with the lip syncing and coding everything together.
April 9 2026
Two Peperos, One cronut, 12 chips, and one upset stomach later… I have probably done the most work I’ve ever done on an animation EVER! It turns out doing a character is a lot more time consuming than backgrounds and I was able to make 183 total frames for the main character. This means that almost every frame has been drawn leaving the less fun part which is coding and lip syncing. But luckily I have a nice trick for lip syncing that I’ll talk about on Saturday. Anyways I think It’s a perfect time for me to rest now, I’ve done plenty of work today.
THE GRIND!!!! part 2 - April 9 2026
Today marks the start of part two of THE GRIND!!! I think I am going to be even more productive than last time mostly because I have almost the entire day since I don't have school. My current goal is to draw all frames for the character singing and if I have time left I might do some lip syncing. Let the second grind begin!
April 8 2026
One piece of chewing gum, two sodas, 5 Peperos and one deep and meaningful conversation with my dad about his life story later… I am proud to say that I was able to divide the audio into pieces, draw all backgrounds for the video and added some finishing touches(shadows and lighting). I was gonna work on the first two verses but I found it better to work by layers(background, animations and lip syncing) rather than working on completed scenes each day. Anyways I found this day exceedingly productive and I hope to do even more with my full day-off.
THE GRIND!!!! - April 8 2026
Yep, that’s right I even titled my blog post for the first time in months to show how serious I am about this. As you can see THE GRIND is going to be my 1 and a half day working session of nonstop animating. Now really my goal is to finish the first two verses today but really I’m trying to do as much as possible(which means until I have to sleep). I’ll post again once I’m done. Let the grind begin!
April 8 2026
Good news! I’m finally done with the vocals and I am very excited because writing the song and recording the vocals were the hardest part. So now I’m just gonna have to work on the animation which I’m used to but the only real challenge is the amount of time I have left. I will continue to keep updating you on my progress.
April 7 2026
I'M COOKED!!!!!!! Now most of the time I don’t really use a lot of slang in my blog posts but I wanna clearly express my reaction to the fact that my due date for the Bearcat Idol animation has been reduced from 3 weeks to 9 days! I haven’t even finished recording my vocals but thankfully I’ve already written the song, the lyrics and produced the background. Because of that, I will be constantly writing daily blog posts recording my progress. And if I focus enough and not procrastinate(hint hint) on my work I might be able to pass through one of the most daunting tasks of my entire school journey so my trip to Sydney in summer will finally be worth it!
April 4 2026
You may have noticed that I haven’t been online for more than a week and it’s because I’ve been focusing on my new submission for bearcat idol. The first 5 days went rough mostly because I was having trouble coming up with the song, it then destroyed my motivation and was panicking at my struggle to write a good song. It was only on thursday when I finally came up with a good song and I realised that one of the best tips within writing a song is patience. All that music theory stuff was not working well for me(same with other legendary writers) my mom was even planning on getting me a composition coach. But a day later when I finally calmed down I came up with an amazing song and now I’m almost done producing it.
Mar 26 2026
Yesterday I just won one of my first Jujitsu matches. Wednesday is actually one of my least favorite days. Normally I get to be in the library for 1 and a half hours to do homework. Although, this excludes Wednesday because I have Jiujitsu and Friday because of Fridays™. Now the only reason why I’m doing Jujitsu is because I need to do a sport. I don’t want to be that guy who doesn't do any sport and just creates websites. Especially since my brother is a red belt in taekwondo and does basketball training. The thing is, I don’t have much against jujitsu but I do prefer doing homework in the library rather than at home or the car.

Last Friday at my friend’s house before moving, I took a photo of every room in the house that I could use for inspiration for Friday Wars in case I forget what it looks like. Then I took a ride in the trunk and saw how huge the backyard of the new house is. Another friend there told me he wanted to be a director and said that this unfinished garden would make a great setting for an action film. I was eager to make a film with someone actually dedicated to directing, especially since I’ve had a bad history with making films on Fridays. But first, I needed to know what actual movies he watched and he told me “Inglorious Basterds”. I was fully convinced and now I have a week or 2 to write the screenplay.
Mar 20 2026
My English teacher suggested that I watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. He told me that it is one of the best science fiction films of all time. Over the past few days I've been very fond of Stanley Kubrick's way of making films. This was especially after I watched Full Metal Jacket, which was an incredible film. After seeing how epic a Kubrick film was I was fully convinced to watch what people say is his best film of his entire existence as a director. I was finally ready to watch the magnum opus of Sci-fi, the best of the best, THE science fiction film.
When I finished it, I was… umm confused. Ok, well the movie is very dragging and I don’t have a short attention span. I’ve seen some dragging films but man that film was reeeeaaaallllyyyyy dragging. It was almost like they wanted to complete the 2 hour slot and realised they didn’t have enough budget to fill up the last hour so they just stretched the scenes to a great extent.
I get it, you're probably gonna hate me for this Odyssey fans but it could be because I’m too young? But even my dad was confused and he swore to never watch it again. Maybe I’m just not looking at it the right way. The effects were mind blowing and I can see how it won the oscar for best VFX. Although I don't understand why it's praised by many viewers and critics. There has to be some deep meaning behind it because I am very confused. If I was more of a cinephile it would probably be my favorite film. But for now, all I took from the movie was:
Amazing classical music that put my dad to sleep,
Monkey, Monkey, more Monkeys.
Monolith,
“Oh wow cool” special effects
Slow and long continuous scenes
babies.
I sure do hope I can understand it more and maybe someday I will admire it.

I was having second thoughts on whether I should join my Friend’s Minecraft server. At first, I was sort of against Minecraft because everything we used to do in the ROSC is being replaced by Minecraft. I missed doing all of the cool adventures in real life rather than a video game. Now that I think of it, the ROSC was never in real life either, it was a website, a digital website. The Minecraft server is also having a website too! So really the Minecraft server isn’t rather a digital replacement, but instead a revival of the hobbies we had making cool websites but now it’s based off what happens in Minecraft rather than the arguments we had in discord.
I was almost convinced to join but there was one more reason why I didn’t ant to be included into the whole thing. I was having a huge problem with Friday’s. It seems like all the cool games we would play was replaced with Minecraft. I only wanted to join the server if people would get off their devices without me having to tell them to during Fridays.
Yesterday I expected Fridays to start of as usual. Everybody just no-lifing on their laptops playing Minecraft. But then I realized something that I’ve never noticed before. After a few minutes, they would just stop playing eventually and do something more active.
The whole time, I’ve thought that if I never told them to play something, they would play video games the entire time. But I never tried not doing anything because I never thought they would stop. So yesterday, I laid down on the floor and did nothing to see if anything happens. Surprisingly, they did.
Because of that, I am now fully convinced to join the server.

I’m very glad to know that my cassette tapes are fine. Recently, there was a water leak from the roof of my house. I went upstairs and noticed that my brother left the tap on for over half an hour. There was water dripping from multiple parts of the roof. My brother was dramatising the whole thing and went “We’re all gonna die!!!! AHHHH!!!”. Not very helpful for the guy who accidentally started to flood my house. Everything is fine now and all of the water has dried up.

Last night I just had one of the scariest nightmares I’ve ever had in my life. I think it started with me going on my laptop as usual. For some reason it was booting up, which was not common especially since I don’t shut down my laptop often. My computer’s start screen was nothing abnormal. When my wallpaper shows, I habitually move my cursor to the dock to open chrome.
Suddenly, my eye catches something. Fear and horror immediately spreads everywhere within me. Something unimaginable appears in front of me. A horrifying image that I’ve feared for months. I saw the finder logo surrounded by a white border. Then I looked at the trash can, it looked ugly af(as fudge). My eyes shifted to the top of the screen, the menu bar was transparent. It was only until I stared at the window with an incredibly high border radius that I was convinced that my Mac was updated to MacOS 16 Tahoe. I was in an impulsive panic.
Feb 23 2026
My favorite part of the week that makes all of the work I do in school worth it is when I visit my friends house every friday. Now my cousin does visit my house every saturday but it can be a bit boring because my cousin usually just plays with my brother because they’re similar in age and the adults who visit just hangout with my parents. I do have @MVP3GOAT who is around my age but he doesn’t do anything but play Rivals on his laptop but he's fun to hangout with sometimes. So really, the only people I have fun talking to are my parents.
Which is why hanging out in my friend's house(commonly referred to as “Fridays”) is truly the best time of the week. If the school week was a movie, then Fridays would be like the happy ending where everybody has some random party with “September” or whatever playing in the background. 60% of the joy I get on Friday is on Fridays while the other 40% is the excitement of me knowing that I’m going to Fridays during class.
The moment that school ends, it feels like the gates of heaven have opened leaving me only several footsteps away from the weekend. I usually get picked up by my friends to avoid traffic issues. The drive to the house mostly consists of me playing Sonic Robo Blast 2, watching unstable SMP and the most unhinged Charlie Kirk videos on instagram of this insensitive generation. The memes are quite offensive but they’re too ridiculous for me not to laugh at them.
Once we arrive at the house, the first 30 minutes of us there start off with my friends playing minecraft for a bit. Gaming used to be a huge problem on Fridays and caused me to almost permanently quit Fridays. But it's fine now because the gaming sessions only start off in the beginning when not many people arrive and at the near end where almost everybody leaves. Fridays peaks during the middle after everybody has come. There are tons of things we do during Fridays. There really needs to be a balance when it comes to activities. Before, the games were full of rules, a strict way of doing things and timers. One example of this is Friday wars which was originally an IRL MMORPG game where you would do quests and stuff. It sort of ruined Fridays because people felt bored and restricted. In contrast, if we couldn’t think of anything to do, people would just get bored and return to their devices. Now, we think of activities to do on Fridays several days in advance with no specific structure.
Sometimes we would play typical Nerf battles or we would build forts. My favorite thing to do on Fridays is role playing because it's a huge opportunity for us to use our humour to our advantage. Sometimes we would make cities, offices, malls, motels etc. On some rare occasions, we would make films just like The Friday Movie. When we get too tired to do anything active, we would just play Jeopardy. We’re planning to play who wants to be a millionaire but since most of us are quite privileged, we’re calling it “Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire”. Where the winner would lose money.

What should I work on for Bearcat Idol? I know, it's still 3 months away but animation takes time. Now I am 100% sure that my submission is going to be an animation. But I'm still thinking about what the animation should be. I have a few options. I can make a sequel to Middle School Musical although most of the time, sequels don't really do as well as the original if it is mostly similar and recycled. Doing the same thing is more safe but I can also do something completely different. I can also make an entirely new topic for a new song or even an experimental short film. If it works then there will be a much higher chance that it will be successful but it's incredibly risky. People may find it odd for me to transition from a up-beat generic song about middle school to something like
"A Dystopian short film bringing awareness about the flaws of a capitalists society"
So really, I don't want to do anything that may be too experimental. Maybe I should take some inspiration from what I did in my previous talent shows. My first talent show was in a Mcdonalds Kiddie Crew program. On the last day, there was be a talent show. My talent was running around the room without touching the grout lines.
That probably won't help. When I returned to the Kiddie Crew a year later, I decided to do something more talented. So I just played Chimes on the piano. Since then, I haven’t had another talent show until my first Bearcat Idol submission. Because the previous year’s winner was an animation, I submitted my How 2 Animate Quick and Fast video. My video lost to another animation made by the same girl who won last year. Which leads us back to Middle School Musical.
Based on my successes and other winners, it seems that animation is a go-to option. Most of them are music videos and historically, music related animations have done well. It seems that I'm going to have to write another song.
But Middle School Musical was just an Idea that luckily came to my mind when I was 10. Coming up with a melody that good and striking gold is probably not going to work since I only have 3 months left! I don’t even know what the song should be about! Should it be about middle school again? 8th grade? Manila? Math Class? Bringing awareness about the flaws of a capitalistic society? Vegemite!?!?!? I don’t think I am going to be able to come up with a song again within 3 mon-
...
Wait.
I got it! I know exactly what I should do. I know what the talent is going to be. I finally got a genius idea that will definitely make me win the competition!
I’m going to run around the room without touching the grout lines!!!

I am going to be away in camp for 4 days so I won't be updating the website or writing any posts until Friday.
Feb 2 2026
On this day of February 2, 2026, The Republic of Sus Cringers was shut down after 3 years. The ROSC was a huge part of my middle school life especially since it was started in 5th grade and ended today in 8th grade. The ROSC’s website was a major leap in my coding skills and the political system was fun. Outside of the website, it was a creative way for me and my friends to do amazing projects and events together. Although, managing the website was a pain in the apps. The ROSC’s website was impressively unique and well designed but neocities are mostly limited due to its inability to support back end, and how manual everything was. Finding a good meme for the meme of the week was incredibly hard and even worse was the calendar. Publishing a news article is arguably more difficult than actually writing it at the time. Managing the website got even harder after opening my own website. The thing is that, more than half of my free time in middle school revolved around the ROSC. The political system was fun at first but got too serious and led to too many unnecessary arguments and friendship issues. On the other hand, I will never forget the times I had making websites on google slides with my friends, no-lifting on maps, cards and other cool side projects, making fun little games for the group and roasting Chol-hee on the presidential election survey. I was going to write an article about it but Edge already wrote one on the ROSC website. Instead, I’m going to be writing a complete history of the ROSC and my significant involvement in it.

I was thinking of trying some animation softwares other than scratch so I decided to try Tupitube. Now after waiting 6 hours for it to install on my computer, I had to wait until the next day. I was too exited to use it so as soon as I got back from school, I played around with the program. I've had Tupitube on my laptop for a while but I never bothered to try it. The number one reason why I wanted to use Tupitube is because it looks so much more professional and nicer. Scratch has these big buttons with flat colors and it looks like a boring kids today while Tupitube has small cluttered buttons with gray gradients which makes it look cooler. The design alone was a good enough reason to use Tupitube. I was so hyped, I was even thinking of leaving scratch and switching entirely to Tupitube.
I was incredibly disappointed when I first tried out the animation software. Now it has an amazing design and the frame editing and layout is amazing. It works just like any other software. The graphics editor on the other hand is an incredible weak point for the app. It does have basic features such as shapes, drawings, line tools and text. The main problem I have is the shaping tool. It’s mostly confusing and you can’t use the shaping tool on shapes like squares or circles unlike scratch. Another thing is that as soon as you finish shaping an object, you cannot edit it again.
I did try OpenToonz for a while but I don’t think I’m ready for it yet. I think I am going to stick with Scratch or Turbowarp for now especially since I am most of the time used to animating on scratch.
Jan 18 2026
I think the weekend is too short. Maybe it's because I've gone too used to winter break or I've just been more busy during the weekend. I don't mean animation and coding busy but family things busy. I just don't think 2 days is enough for me to do a lot of stuff. This also makes a huge limitation because I'm not allowed to produce music or use my computer during schooldays meaning that I only have 2 days a work to work on basically anything.
Now I’m that a majority of students just don’t like school and rather have a 7 day weekend but I’m I don’t really dislike school. I think sometime in my teen years I just realized that no matter how much I complain, I’m going to have to do school anyways. Most of the time I enjoy school because many my teachers are really cool and most of the activities are pretty fun(especially science).
My brother was telling me how he is scared of middle school because of how much homework he has to do so I told him that in science class, the teacher dressed up in a wizard suit and we got to see chemicals being mixed and we even got to see him hold a wand out in the air and make it light up(he just burned magnesium). I also told him that this week we are going to make ice cream in under 5 minutes. That made my brother cry and then he told me how he hates being in elementary school and he wanted to be in middle school because it sounded more fun.
Now to be more realistic, I am struggling with some subjects and there is a lot more homework but I’m fine with it because know that my hard work is for the Game Boy Advance® I got. But overall the only things about school I don’t really like as much is how early it is, Chinese and PE.

Around Christmas, I received a new computer for Christmas. The computer in question is a raspberry pi. Now my friends say that a Raspberry Pi isn't fully a PC but thats probably because their PC's are like the size of like a shelf. I'm very glad I have a Raspberry Pi because I can finally use a linux and customize it to look like a Windows XP which is the closest thing to having one. Its only 4GB of Ram but thats fine because its good enough to run Minecraft and Penguinmod projects.
It may not be as powerful as my Macbook nor can it run Assasins Creed Shadows without blowing up my PC but its good enough to run software that I will normally use for productivity.
Another reason why I'm going to use my Raspberry pi more often is because I can finally have a seperate computer for personal use rather than storing my animations and games on my school laptop. I could just get an actual PC but a Raspberry Pi doesn't take up much space, it can run TwisterOS which has a very accurate Windows XP theme which can motivate me to code more and the softwares I use don't take up too much power unlike video editing softwares.

New year new domain! I'm so exited about the new domain. I can finally use my php skills and share my projects that coudn't be released on neocities.
Jan 6 2026
Wow! Who would've known that my first blog post I make straight after 2025 and just after finishing my website would be me leaving the website straight away. After receiving the ownership of messydesk.online, I finally figured out how to move my files to the domain. This means that the neocities website will become inactive but not deleted for archival purposes. I will see you in my new website! Learn More

"I can't beleive that 2025 is already ending, it wen't by so fast!!!!!!
That's pretty much what everybody is thinking right now before new years. I think it's because either they were having such a blast in 2025 that they didn't care what time of the year it was or they probably forgot about what happened in between New Years and today besides important events. This is just like how I felt like I finished 7th grade in a brisk and that was probably because 7th grade was much more interesting than the other grades, that I didn't care about how many days until summer break.If I were to look back, I think it would be the first reason. I just felt much more productive this year especially compared to 2024 where most of what I did after the animator battles was just watch youtube and did nothing else. I've finally finished a few abandoned projects, created a musical and most importantly finished this website just before Christmas. I'm hoping for the next year to be just as good and I probably might start working on a few things with MVP3GOAT. For the blog, I hope to make my posts more exciting and interesting. Rather than just giving a summary on a few changes I made to this website, I want to go more into my thoughts and opinions. I hope to make it feel more like I'm narrating a movie or maybe those popular novels that are shown in the form of a Journal. Enough Yap, I'll be back next year!

I woke up today after a very long Christmas Eve and for the first time, there was no presents under the Christmas tree for me. At first I was shocked but I didn't realy mind. My Christmas gift yesterday was having the ownership of Messydesk.online. This means that I might stop using neocities and start moving my website to under my own domain.

Today is Christmas Eve which is why I decided that until Christmas ends, I can only watch and play something related to Christmas. So what better way to spend the rest of my free time before my family dinner than playing Elf Bowling on the GBA.

This is it. I’m done, I am finally done. You know, after 2 years of designing countless websites for people groups that each mark memorable parts of my life, I’ve never made a single completed website for myself. Most of them were just managed by me, maybe had a different name or shared with other people. But this ends now. I’ve made three failed attempts on making a website. The fourth attempt hasn’t failed but instead has been constantly ignored with continuous delays and an abundance of procrastination. Most of the time I would do slight improvements for an entire day adding new features. Now, all of this work has finally become worth it as I have finally finished my very first full and complete
Messydesk-studios website
More features may come soon but I’ve finished everything I’ve needed now. From now on, this website will be constantly updated with new articles, blogs and projects and will be kept as an e-portfolio for others to view. As of December 23, 2025, the website has been officially opened!!!!! Enjoy!

During the afternoon, I was adding a few more parts to my about page. Something that has been bugging me was the grammatical and spelling errors. To make the site look more professional, I used autocorrect to correct spelling and grammar mistakes from my blog, news articles and articles. I will grammar correct the about page once I finish it.

Around this morning, the scratch team removed some content from my profile. They removed links to my website since I'm not allowed to share personal info which makes sense. Although they removed my face test project only because the thumbnail showed a picture of my face covered with cartoon eyes. This kind of makes sense but I didn;t show my full face. The removal that makes the most sense is the deletion of my Swiftie shooter game. Which makes 100% sense since the game incites violence.

School's started now. I know that I haven't made a post since the stone age but I'm working on a few things.

School is finally finished! I hope this summer break gives me enough time to work on the website. Although there has been a recent problem with the ROSC website. Every time I try to update something, it takes more than a day to update.

I officially have less than a week until school ends. I'm very excited. Once summer break starts, I will be working on the website more often. I will be giving some updates to complete the website such as finishing the history, finishing the directory, updating the blog, updating the videos and games, add a new article and even add a shop :o

I'm currently working on a new version of my social network, Platsville. Although I'm currently trying to find which server to use. Originally I was going to use ruby on rails, although you're gonna need a terminal to install it(I don't trust the terminal). Then I was going to use buddypress, but apparently you need to pay in order to use it. Abyss server is good, but I don't know if it's built for making a social network. My only option left is Elgg: It's free, You don't need a terminal and it's built for social networks. There's only one small problem: HOW THE HECK DO I USE THIS!?!?!??!! Everything is so confusing and I can't find a tutorial.

Trying to learn python by making a game called "ISM simulator" an interactive text-based choose your own adventure. Although I'm a noob and I'm struggling with a lot of glitches. So I asked for help from a classmate who's an expert at Python. He can't fix the glitch either. So I gave the idea to my classmate and let him make it into his own game instead(I just hope he credits me).

Today is my last day before heading off to my family trip, which is why I'm trying to be as productive as possible. Unfortunately I can't work on the Middle school Musical right now because my friend isn't online, so I'm gonna wait until next week. In the meantime, I'm adding more updates to my Taylor Swift video game. I added code to make the game more difficult every 5 seconds to make it more challenging for the player.
My first blog post! - February 26 2025
This is my first blog post ever. The blog will be where I will be keeping updates on how my projects are going or sharing my thoughts. Kind of like a little journal
