  1. I definitely agree!! People won't understand and not to mention APPRECIATE the movie without reading the book. It's in the details that makes the story enchanting and special. I pity those who haven't read the book yet because they are definitely missing out on something wonderful and entertaining.
  2. Has anyone seen the movie? I read the book so I was really eager and really really excited to watch it! The first day of showing here in the Philippines was last November 16 (I think it's the same with other countries) and I watched it on the first day. The cinema was FULL, we almost didn't have a seat. As I watched the movie, I noticed a lot of the scenes and details from the book weren't included and that made me a bit disappointed because I enjoyed reading the goblet of fire to bits so I wanted to see each and every detail of the book to the big screen. But nevertheless the movie was great. I love it. For those who have seen the movie, what are your opinions about this?
  3. Looks like your teacher is really insecure. He better deal with his insecurities or try to teach you something new. Or maybe if you are not really learning and gaining anythong from that class because you already know the lesson and it is just your pride that is making you stay because you don't want to give in to his request for you to leave, then I suggest you just take other class wherein you don't know anything about the lessons at all.
  4. I don't like myspace at all.. I have received invites on email to join myspace but somehow I get annoyed at my space profiles. They look cluttered.
  5. Uggh.. I have never been hosted with geocities. I didn't like it at all!! Even back then when I knew very very little html I did not give a thouht of signing up with geocities because I have seen a lot of geocities websites and most of them look very unprofessional and the ads are sooooo annoying. Whenever I see a link on a geocities site or I encounter one I get turned off easily and close the browser or change to another url.
  6. I used to have a xanga blog. Actually, it is the very first blogging host that I signed up for. I had three accounts in it because I was very fickle back then (oops! I still am fickle) and eventually I ended up abandoning all three and switched hosts because I wanted more customizable layouts and Xanga does not provide that. Another thing that made me abandon it was The ads are annoying plus only xanga members get to comment on your blog which sucks. Another thing, I was also learning to use html so I wanted a really really customizable blog without ads. I signed up for http://members.diaryland.com/edit/ instead... Of course now I host my own blog, I use nucleus
  7. no problem!! i just stated there my observations. just follow all the other member's advice and your site will work fine!
  8. Ok I'm going to rate a site based on these factors: color, navigation, content, and overall layout. The maximum score for each criteria is 5 so 20 is the perfect score.color (3/5) - The color you chose for the site is so plain and a bit boring. Try to liven up the site by adding a couple of other different colors or another shade of blue just to give the page some personalit and style.navigation (3/5) - I'm not too keen on your navigation links. The first few seconds that I was on your site I got a bit lost and confused. There are links on top, at the bottom, and on the side. I didn't know what to click! another problem when it comes to your links that bothered me so much is when you try a link (e.g. the poems) with a content that is really long, the navigation links at the bottom don't seem to move down. They end up in the middle of the page intersecting with the page content. I supposed that you used DIV for your navigation links at the bottom that's why they don't go down when the content is long already although I'm not quite sure what codes you used as I didn't have the time to check it. You might want to make this a bit more organized but if you don't have the time to do so it's not that big of a problem. Visitors will figure out sooner or later what or where they'll will click. content (2/5) - Since the site isn't finish yet some of the links lead to an 404 error page or "nothing in there yet" page. The poetry section is nice though.overall layout (2) - The overall layout isn't that eye catching and unique. I can say there is nothing special in it. Another thing that I didn't like is the google ad that is so huge located in the midle of the page!!! I f you are to put ads on your site for profit, you should at least put it in a strategic spot that will help you earn money but will not ruin your layout. It should blend well with your layout. But the positive part is the site is simple, nice, and clean. OVERALL RATING: 10/20 additonal comments: Try to advertise your site a bit more so you'll have more visitors and forum members. Good luck!
  9. Ok I'm going to rate a site based on these factors: color, navigation, content, and overall layout. The maximum score for each criteria is 5 so 20 is the perfect score. color (5/5) - I'm giving you a perfect score when it comes to color because the color you chose is very appropriate, not too "manly" and not too "girly". Very nice. navigation (1/5) - Now we sort of have a problem here when it comes to navigating your site, one of the links that I've clicked worked. Another, I think that if you are to make a site, better yet do it in english so that more people will understand. The licks on the splash page were in Chinese (or Japanese? whatever.) and I just clicked them not knowing where they would lead me. content (0/5) - Another problem. The site has no content at all whatsoever. I understand that maybe the site isn't finish yet and you're still working on it. overall layout (5 +1/5) - Ok here's another positive part of your site! The graphics are awesome!! It really looks like you have taken efforts and time to do the graphics. The flash thing is also cool although this desk with pc and books and all that junk isn't a unique design at all. I've seen ttons of other flash sites with this kind of theme. Takes this site's "ABOUT" page for example http://ww2.fivefeetflat.com/?folio=9POR7JU99. But because yoursite has that "wow" factor initially, I'm giving you a +1. OVERALL RATING: 12/20 additonal comments: This site has a lot of potential because of the flash factor and the graphics. It just needs more content and a little more planning especially with the navigation. It looks like you just forcuse on creating the graphics. And since it is already a flash site, It would be better if ou can make your site more interactive and fun. Add MORE content and information and your site will be perfect.
  10. Ok I'm going to rate a site based on these factors: color, navigation, content, and overall layout. The maximum score for each criteria is 5 so 20 is the perfect score.color (4/5) - black and green is a nice combination. It doesn't hurt the eyes and the text are readable because font color is in white (nice contrast with black). Content readability is always an important factor because people (especially me) get annoyed when you can't read what a certain webpage says and you have to highlight the entire thing just for you to understand it. I'm not giving you a perfect score though because the color combination is not that unique and has been used in a looooot of other websites already.navigation (5/5) - nice coordinated navigation! This is also a good thing because another annoying factor when it comes to sites is when their navigation sucks and seems to get you lost in the middle of surfing the site pages and all you can do is to rely on the browser's "back" button so that you can be in that page where the navigation links are. For this I'm giving you a perfect score. content (3/5) - Ok your site has a lot of content in it which is a good thing. You've covere the basics; information about yourself (which is a lot really lol), information about your site, and how to contact you. You've also added little extra things that will make your visitors happy like tutorials, freebies (which I suppose you made yourself because you shouldn't be giving them away if they aren't really yours anyway), and a fcouple of things to read. HOWEVER, because I assume that your site is mainly a blog because apparently the index page leads to a blog, you should UPDATE YOUR BLOG REGULARLY because blogs are supposed to be updated regularly (at least once a week). I should've given you a 4 with content but since your blog (which seems to be the main purpose of the site) lacks updat, I opted to give you a 3 instead.overall layout (3/5) - layout isn't that unique at all. I've seen this type of layout before. For a reason I do not know, most of the sites I've seen with this type of layout are owned by 11 - 15 year olds. The site doesn't really have a "wow" factor that'll keep the visitors hooked or would mak them want to surf your site a little longer. My initial reaction once I saw the site was, "Oh nice but I think I've seen this somewhere." The top banner is quite nice though, simple yet mysterious.OVERALL RATING: 15/20 additonal comments: Not really bad for a 14 year old! (update your site it still says 13 year old). I can see you becoming a good and better webmaster in thhe future. Keep it up!
  11. what exacttly is your job anyway? If I were you I'd stick to it for a couple of moths and then if I really really hate it then I would quit as soon as possible before it's too late.
  12. simple, clean, and neat layout. i like the color, sort of a "minty" green. What is the site all about? i do not understand it because it is not in english.
  13. Becca you don't look that ugly in your avatar, or that's not you? Anyway, about the previous post on animals, that is just plain cruel, stupid, and immature. They should get a life and stop hurting the animals.
  14. I hope you get a broaband connection already because dial up just sux! We used to have dial up connection and I wait in vain for my downloads to finish or for a certain page to load! I wanted to pull my hair in frustration!
  15. LMAO!! This post made me laugh! Somebody frustrating himself over minesweeper is craaaazy funny!! Stop the agony! Play oter games dude!!
  16. There's already a big brother here in the philippines and it's called pinoy big brother. I admit I wantch it sometimes and I know all the "housemates" names but all in all I think the show sucks. It's bad! Just like watching Jerry Springer!
  17. No fancy dress? awww that's sad! We made a big deal out of our prom frustrating ourselves on what to wear etc. Last semester we had our culminating night (sort of a prom) and it was really nice because we were already in college and we don't get to be in an occassion just like a prom anymore. Our gowns were made by a local designer.
  18. Hello I think you guys need a girl's opinion in here huh? It is true that girls always change their minds, are confused, and are ALWAYS fickle minded so you got to be patient. Let me tell you a story, a guy used to court me and then we had our first date. He thought our date was perfect, awesome, and wonderful because he was so happy after the date. But me? I thought it sucked big time. He was a looser. He bored me to death. So THE NEXT DAY I dumped him so to stop the agony and the waiting and the expecting. As for you heaven sounds, there must be 3 possible reasons why she started getting cold.a. she doesn't really like you (or she just realized she doesn't really like you)b. you were boring and she found someone betterc. she dated you because she wanted to see if things will work between the two of you and then after you dated she realized it just won't work out.
  19. Ok, I used to be anti-abortion because it is against the will of God, against the laws of the church, and against morals. It is depriving the child of a life given to him/her by God and depriving him/her the right to live and be happy. Besides, it's not the child's fault so he/she should be brought into this world.But then I feel for the mothers. If they are not yet ready to give birth to a child and cannot afford to raise the child physically, financially, and emotionally, then this whole point of being a mother and risking your life and face (embarassment) to other people isn't worth it anyway because you are not happy with the entire pregnancy. And what if the baby comes out and the mother isn't ready to cope with the changes, she won't be able to take care of her child properly and might end up living a pitiful life.But as much as possible, if the mother can handle everything, she should continue with the baby. But if she thinks it'll just ruin her life, then go on and have an abortion. It's just a matter of choice and priority.
  20. We can't deny that cellphones are a necessity!! I can't live without my cellphone! But let's admit that there are times when you want some peace and quite time alone without nyone bothering you and then your cellphone just won't stop beeping and ringing! And then there are those ANNOYING people who got your number somewhere and you don't even know them and they won't stop texting you! In times like these or when I'm sleepin, I do not turn my phone off, instead I just switch it to silent mode without vibrate (coz the vibrate will definitely wake me up) but then again sometimes I cannot afford to do that especially when my parents are out of town because they might have some important things to tell me and then my phoe is off. I'll be doomed! LOL. you can always try your phone's voicemail although I do no use this service because you have to pay to retrieve all the messages people left on your cellphone!
  21. Oh my god, violence is never the answer! It'll just trigger the heat between the two of you! And you are girls for heaven's sake and it is not a good sight to see girls in a cat fight. It's like cheap or something. What you should do is IGNORE THEM! There's nothing more annoying than being ignored by the person you are pissing right? Stay calm, be cool, and keep your poise.
  22. I hope Xisto doesn't shut down or insist payment later on. In my previous host they were good, it was a forum posting like this one although they did not rely on credits, you just have to stay active and your site wil be ok. I was hosted there for 8 months until recently they got hacked and our sites were down for like a month! Most of the members were pisse because the owner of the site now demands payment for our sites to be up and running again because he cannot afford to keep all free sites running. What's even worse is we couldn't get our back up files and he demands a "donation" so we could get our files back. It was sooooooooo frustrating.I hope that doesn't happen here at Xisto.
  23. What I like:* the color, it is a nice shade of green and it doesn't hurt the eyes* the banner is quite simple but works for the page* the navigation links are properly placed so you won't get lostWhat needs improvemet:* although the shade of color green works well, it would be nice if you add another color or another different shade of green just to make the page look more interesting* There is an ANNOYING geocities ad so you might as well swith host (i.e. trap 17 lol)* it needs more content* most of the links do not work yet so you should work on that
  24. Today I got an email from a friend that says I will earn money if I forward it to others. Here is the exact message: What do you think? Is this for real?
  25. I use IE6 and nothing else. I used to have firefox mozilla istalled in my computer just to see how my site looks like in other browsers. But since most users use IE6 anyway, I uninstalled it so I can free my pc more space.
