This is probably a n00b mistake by web developer standards, but after struggling for awhile, I finally managed to redirect the little Wordpress sub site (that I worked on for someone else) onto the main directory AND I FEEL GLORIOUS.
That pesky index.htm from the old version was the culprit to all my woes. UGH WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF CONFLICTING FILES BEFORE?! I feel like that time my classmate realized why his code wasn't working — he spelt "border" as "boarder", and html never tells you when you have stupid spelling mistakes, because the code is an asshole like that. Kidding about the last part. Sort of.
Anyway, I totally feel like this right now:

Scenario: My throat feels funny, which can only mean one thing — I'm most likely going to be sick. I asked a coworker if they knew any remedy because the state of my throat was getting worse and starting to hurt. She suggested mixing salt and Coca-Cola together.
EXPECTATION
REALITY
Melody's stomach + Coca-Cola clearly does not mix well.

With the weather in Canada finally warming/lighting up, I couldn't contain the excitement that was to go and eat some frozen desserts. It has always been a tradition for my homeslice and I (even if the weather was cold, haha) and honestly, I hadn't seen him since archery tag for my uber belated birthday celebration, so we decided to meet up about two weeks ago.

You know how for a good chunk of the time, you're idling along with life and there are just moments (or string of moments) that suddenly urge you to take action, whatever it may be? Tonight is one of them. I'm not here to write about my latest food adventure unfortunately, so when I finally get myself to update properly, that'll be on queue too. In the meantime, I'm just going for a really raw post.
and how long it must've taken the other party to finally let go and simply be able to wish the former a happy birthday without a hint of pain.
Another phenomenon happened in which someone I know got slightly upset about something on her newsfeed that concerned her past. Granted, she was the one that let go, but she hasn't enjoyed enough freedom to truly forget all her feelings. That begs the question:
What would one deem as enough time to get over someone?
I know it varies from person to person and the context too. But I feel, who would be adequate to judge without knowing? For some, 6 months after a long relationship is enough. For others it's not. It boils down to how the individual handles the situation (and ultimately their life), though in certain situations I don't think the longevity of the relationship or event matters all too much. If the impact of the event was great enough that it affected the person's psyche immensely (either for good or bad), anything under a year seems like he/she is just kidding themselves. And by a year I mean a whole 12 months, not a school year.
Either way, it's tough getting over someone, that's understandable. But people shouldn't jump the gun and reconnect so fast when they're probably not ready. It's easy for an outsider to point that out and say that, especially since oftentimes we can have the worst judgements about ourselves. And it isn't until its too late that we find ourselves in pain once again, only having ourselves to blame. Let's not have another chapter of tragedy in our lives, shall we?

Coincidentally, a couple of incidences have happened recently that got me wondering. A friend of mine mentioned that her anniversary with her ex was on her birthday and he never greeted her for all these years except for this one time. It makes me think, how odd it is that we can attribute what can be a thousand-folds worth of memories concerning one person, down to something as arbitrary as a day...Another phenomenon happened in which someone I know got slightly upset about something on her newsfeed that concerned her past.
