Livin’ the good life!
]]>Yeeah! Finally =)
The budget have made me decide to choose the 13 inch with the best configuration. Handy & light to travel (I have to travel to school and back day after day), yet powerful enough to provide me with enough possibilities.
Look at it: it’s beautiful!
It’s an important day in my small history. I am just 18 year old, but I think I made the right choice to start an official company on my own. The client work really began to increase, so I would have to have my own company to keep doing that legal.
So, after a couple of months thinking about this idea, I took the step. Why not? I thought. I also thought about the direction I wish to go and I can tell you already, it’s going to be a huge ride!
Branding
I have contacted Alexendru from blogsessive and QBKL to design a logo for me. One general logo for all the Divito family sites and blogs.
Sites
I am not going to tell you much about what blogs I am going to start up in the future, because I simply don’t know yet.
DivitoDesign will be, of course, keep running strong. I couldn’t think of any change, things are really starting to come together. Oh yeah, a redesign is coming up in the 2 months, so stay tuned.
Another thing I want to do is starting a WordPress related blog. This “magazine” is already designed and coded and is coming along pretty nice, so expect this site to launch pretty soon.
In the main time, I am taking client work and I am working on DivitoMedia’s site.
]]>All the major software installs have been performed and I am now running a new set of CS4, including Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator. I can really start working now and that’s what I have planned to do as well! 
Specifications
- AMD Athlon 2.61 Ghz Dual Core
- 4GB intern RAM
- 400GB hard disc
- VideoCard: 512 MB HD2600PRO PCI-express VGA
It works like a breeze!
]]>What’s next? Well, currently I am looking for a cheap alternative for my laptop. I have a 7-year-old DELL pc that still runs (as I am writing on it right now) but that isn’t an option for more than 2 weeks.
I am thinking of getting a Macbook or Macbook Pro later this year, but I can’t afford it yet. So the new PC/laptop is kind of a solution until I get the money together to buy the one I want.
Does anyone out there knows a cheap alternative? Thanks.
]]>This quarter’s test-week has started today with a pretty nice mathematics test. Even though I thought it would be a pretty hard test, it was all right and I think I might manage to score an 8.
The next number of business days, I have a scedule to follow. These tests have yet to come:
- Monday: Chemistry
- Tuesday: Physics
- Wednesday: Literature
- Thursday: Biology
- Friday: English
I will keep keep you posted how things go!
]]>A hour later, it’s done. I signed up for the Physiotheraphy study on the Fontys college in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Now I have to hope I can enter the study, because I might need high grades… And that’s hard. Well, no not really (I am around a 7 at the moment), but a 8 is required to enter for sure and I don’t think I can achieve that.
Anyway, are there interesting web-people living in Eindhoven? Maybe I will see you someday!
It’s almost time to close 2008. Only 7 days from now, exactly at this time of the day (in Holland), we are celebrating the new year. It’s only tomorrow that we may celebrate Christmas.
The time is right to say what I would like. Merry Christmas to anyone. I hope everyone can experience love and piece in this wonderful time. Even the people who doesn’t have the possibilities we have here in the rich countries, I hope they find their piece too.
I also would like to wish you a happy new year. The end of 2008, which was a year I have been learning and learning, is coming. We are ready to jump right into the next challenge, the year 2009.
I hope everyone is successful in anything they wish and achieve the goals they’ve set. I also hope that everyone does a good job at their work, at their school, at their sports.
I would like to end with a quote for next year.
The possibilities are there. You just need to grab them.
]]>Football
As soon as my knee is fully rehabilitated and my doctor say I am ready, I will jump right back in the lovely game of Football. I’ve been gone for 7 years now, so this is a great challenge for me.
School
This year, I will get out of school. I need to take my degree with me as well! With the exams coming up in 4 months, everything is set to succeed.
Physiotherapy
Once I am finished with this school, I will jump on the Physiotherapy bandwagon.
Sites
I have 2 blogs under my management. DivitoDesign and this small personal blog. In 2009, a number of sites will be built by me and some other people. I will keep these quiet for a while. Next year, I will expand the number of sites under my management to 4.
Money
In 2009, I hope to make some more money via the internet. I’d love to see the 1000 usd / month mark reached at the end of ‘09.
Hardware
Currently, I am running 1 computer and 1 laptop. These systems are old. Very old. Here is a number of items I would like to have on my desk in 2009.
- Apple Mac book
- Apple iMac (or if I could affort is, the “beast” Mac Pro)
- Samsung NC10 Netbook
- Apple iPhone
Yes, I know, that’s some shitload of expensive stuff. But, I will try to get them by the end of 2009. Awesome challenge for me!
Vacations
Past year, I have been flying the first time. This year, I plan to go on three vacations.
- Parents – Will go somewhere in Spain
- Buddies from school-class – Somewhere in Spain. Blanes, Llorret.. Who knows.
- Buddies from my “hood” – Chersonissos, Crete Periphery.
Your Plans?
Do you have any plans to share with me for next year? Show me some interesting stuff people! And my lesson for today: Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself, because challenge will get you where you would like to be.
