The new look of YouTube is awful.

I’ve always been an ambitious person, with many desires and goals to achieve.You know the quote ‘success is best when shared with others’? I think it’s true.

I will still use them, especially YouTube, but from now on paolods.com will be the main destination of my efforts 🙂

There will be tremendous changes in the site look in the next months, but I will keep blogging meanwhile.

Ah…this evening I will leave for my holiday to Beijing (ugh!). I’ve in mind to make a report about how’s life there. Stay tuna!
