The Story

I've been thinking about revamping my site before I applied version 2 to Crystal Phoenix Designs. It took me a while to thought it over because my overall satisfaction for the start of the site was not really high. The reason is, my brother has a really high graphic resolution monitor for his computer, which caused most of my designs and even the main layout to look really dark and not elegant at all. I was really bothered by this matter because I don't enjoy seeing the graphics that I've made look like this. Plus, I can probably assume that most monitors have default graphic resolution. My brother, he just applied too much of it to his graphic card. Despite the fact that my designs were out of colors, they weren't exactly the ones that I put my effort into because, I was so into completeing CPD that I just make graphics as fast as I can to fill up the content page. I guess this is the result I get for being so ambitious and careless =.=. I learned my lesson through my experience :]. Lol. Anyways, I notice myself not giving much effort as I plan to for my graphic designs. I mean, I know I can do way better, but for some reasons, my mind is not into it yet. I guess it's all better in time right?

Therefore, I have decided to renew CPD once again because I am not satisfied with the result I get. I will defnitely try over and over again until I receive an honorbale yes from the depth of my heart. Trust me, when I put my whole mind into something, I can achieve it simply and easily. You just wait and see ^o^ So yeah, we'll be going on a hiatus now. Probably from now on, or before January 1st, 2009! Yes, it will take while because I will be busy again once when I start school. Please bear with me for a while. I really don't want to go on a revamp for that long. Til then, please take care everyone~! I hope to see you guys once again next year :D

A New View

To tell you the truth, I love the name Crystal Phoenix Designs from the bottom of my heart. It realy took me a long time to name the site because I have other great names that I planned to use for CPD before the site even started. Out of all the names I came up with, crystal Phoenix speaks for the most of all because my favorite fantasy creature is a Phoenix, and crystal symbolizes how pretty it is in my point of view. However, there is a 50/50 chance that I might change the site's name. I know, I don't want to let go of this title, but I can't help it if I am revamping the site ]:

Say Goodbye

This one gave me a tough time deciding because I am planning on dropping all affiliates, siblings, and link exchanges. I am really sorry. I know that this is hard for you to believe (it is already difficult for me to type this paragraph), but whenever I restart something, I can't help but to restore/delete everything to make it clean and clear for me to concentrate on renewing the site. It's just something that I have to do no matter what. If I don't, I won't be able to have a good night sleep. Even though the times that I've spent with you guys is really short, I'm pretty sure that it's all filled with good/loving memories. Memories on which I will never forget until the end of time. Thank you so much for making my designing journye a blast so far. I will notify all affiliates, siblings, and link exchanges about this, and whether or not I will keep you guys. Gomenesai, I am positive about my decision. Though it's pretty hard, it is just what my mind and heart are telling me to do. I can't disobey the both.

I'll See You Again Next Time

*sighs* I have been having a heavy cold for the past few days because of weather changes. Right now, I have both the cold and a small fever. My head feels really heavy, and my fingers are trying their best to type this message for me. After this, I'm going to go take a long nap until dinnertime xP Anyways, this will be the farewell. I won't be able to graphic design a lot due to jobs, allowances, and piano pratice evrday. They will stack on top of each other like a mountain for me every single day. Which is why, I plan on having a hiatus/revamp for CPD. Speaking of allowances, I will try my best and earn some money to buy a new domain for the site. I plan on having my very own network for all of my sites xD. So yeah, I will be working hard for that to happen. Ok now, enough of my time talking, it's already been decided:

THE NEW VERION OF CPD WILL BE COMING SOON THIS JANUARY 1ST, 2009. NEW YEAR'S DAY!!
Until that time comes, please take care everybody! I will miss you guys lots!


Lots of love,
