Old Blogs Gone for Good

It's official. My two blogs (ladolcevita and docmnel) are gone for good. I checked my old host's website and i was redirected to eblogus.com. I tried accessing my FTP server and my old blog's addresses but they're still inaccessible. *sheesh*

In my three years as a blogger, losing my blogs has never happened before and to think I host them elsewhere for free instead of just using blogspot. This is the first time I'll be saying goodbye forever to my blogs. I treat each entry like my own kid and kissing them goodbye really breaks my heart. I feel like I suddenly have retrograde amnesia, losing two months' worth of memories. *sigh*

On the lighter side of things, I've decided to finally get a more reliable but paid hosting somewhere and get my own domain soon. Actually, I've been thinking about it way way back, even before I switched to multiply but being the real cheapskate that I am, I've decided to just rely on free hosting since they're everywhere anyway. But with the recent loss of my blogs, I've since been quite skeptical about everything that's for free. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for". You pay for nothing, hence, you get nothing in return. Well at least it's true for my case. =)

So, I'll stop crying over spilled milk. I can no longer retrieve my old entries even if I wanted to. Instead, I'll just look forward to a brighter blogging life up ahead. I may be paying this time, but if it's the least I can do to protect my memories, then so be it. ^_^

Downtime

My host (www.3host.biz) has been unavailable since Sunday and because both my blogs (ladolcevita.co.cc and docmnel.co.cc) were hosted under one account, I've been blogless since Sunday. I'm actually worried that my host has disappeared without a trace. My blogs are hosted for free so I don't really have any hold against the provider. I'm worried that my blog entries are gone for good. =( I know there weren't really a lot of entries there to begin with, but still, the emotions and the time I spent making each of them were no joke. *sigh* I wish I could have at least backed up my entries before this happened. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm giving it a week. If and when a week has passed and there are no signs that my host is coming back, then, I have no choice but to accept the sob reality that my entries were probably gone for good. I hope not.
