My Traffic Life

I am Mae German. 32 years old. Born in Mangatarem, province of Pangasinan. I was taught and trained by Juan Dela Cruz, and I am currently being trained for more by Uncle Sam. Writing since the age of 12. Blogging since 2001. I keep a notebook and a pen in my bag, on my bedside table, and inside the bathroom. Misses a lot. Sometimes even my own voice. Loves to laugh. Sometimes even at myself. I am a work in progress. My ultimate dream is to be a SAHM. That is, if I am bound to have that chance in this lifetime... and I am.

My Traffic Rules

Don't take my words personally. At times, not even literally. This is my journal. You're my reader. My spectator. Applaud. Yawp. Yawn. Smile. Frown. Rave. Rant. Or not. Neither can I see you from where I am standing nor can I hear you.

This is not my life. Maybe just a part of it. But this is me meandering through life. My emotions fluctuate. My opinion varies. If it's too hot in here and you can't take it, leave. If it's dull and too cold, go somewhere else for warmth. I won't wipe the frown on your brow.

My stories, unless stated otherwise, are mostly fictional. Fiction could be based on reality. Still, they are fiction. Don't own it. Don't live in it. It is what it is. Leave it.

Watch out for the traffic light. Follow the rules. Cruise.

One boring day, I tried to work on my HTML and CSS codes using Notepad (as I was too lazy to set up Frontpage or Dreamweaver on the laptop that I was using for that day). I was confident I have typed every code correctly (I was just actually typing a code from my book). But when I tried to view the page both in IE and Firefox,they showed some slight difference. Alright, that's expected. But the style that I wanted did not display at all. So I checked my codes. Re-checked it for what it seemed a hundred times to find out that one missing ">" on my HTML code. *phew*

Ever since I started working on HTMLs, I wished that they have included a debugger in every HTML editor. So far, they haven't. Thanks to Notepad++, my coding became easier. But more thanks to W3Cs HTML validator, I've learned that I wasn't following HTML Specifications and/or formal HTML coding. LOL!

According to HTMLHELP, Validation is a process of checking your documents against a formal Standard, such as those published by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) for HTML. It's like a grammar- and syntax-checker, eh? Kewl!

Anyway, here's a list of some HTML validator that SAMS suggested (you can Google some more if you're not satisfied):

Stop chasing down your mistakes, let validators do their job!
