taintedsong v3.1
After weeks of studying the complexities of Wordpress, I have finally arrived at finishing my own theme from scratch. It’s not much to look at but I guess it will do for a pure-CSS, table-free layout I did for the first time. I can’t say that it was an easy task though. It actually involved a lot of staying-up-late, googling, analyzing, editing, tinkering, fiddling, and a bunch of “trial and errors”. I wanna say that I want to do this often, but I won’t, as by doing so takes so much of my time — and brain cells. LOL. And oh, I would still very much rather design layouts using Tables, despite the growing CSS trend today. :yuck:

Yes, I’m sure there are still errors around here somewhere. If you happen to encounter one, please please let me know. I wouldn’t know what to do first hand, but maybe I can google it or consult some experts. LOL. Or if you are a Wordpress aficionado, I would wholeheartedly accept comments, suggestions, and tutorials from you. :)

My Brother
Good news! To those of who you have read my rant a while back about this brother of mine who’s been unemployed for months, I’m happy to let you know that he’s finally found a job! We’ve been praying so hard for him and last Friday he finally nailed his interview. I can’t be more happy for him! And I’m glad to see him thrilled of his accomplishment too. All we gotta to do now is wish that he passes his 6-week training and eventually be a certified Technical Support Representative. Yeah baby! :blush:

For love of Murakami
Last Friday, Bheng asked me if I could join her buy a book at National Bookstore. Like she really had to ask! Bookstores are my haven. When we got there, I was fortunate to get my hands on the last copies of the two Murakami books that I didn’t have yet. — Please don’t judge me. In my defense, the last day of the 20% sale was nearing, the books I bought were the last copies, and I just received my half-month’s salary, so I think I’m entitled to this kind of splurge. lol. And it’s not like I’m shopping for other stuff too. Just books, I swear. I haven’t even bought a shirt, pants or shoes in months! :D As of today, I have in my possession 8 books by Haruki Murakami, 4 of which I haven’t read yet. I’ll be over my Murakami marathon soon.. It’s time to move on to other authors. Recommendations please. :cute:

Homeward Bound
I’m also pleased to say that I’m going home next month for a 10-day vacay. It’s time to put those rotting Vacation Leaves to good use. I already bought my tickets last Wednesday and at such a discount too. The usual two-way domestic flight tickets cost almost 6,000 Php, but I bought mine at 2,700 Php only. Pretty good bargain huh? I love the way these airline carriers are competing head-on against each other these days. The stunts they’re pulling are greatly beneficial to someone like me who hails from way down South. :D I can’t wait to see my mom and dad. I haven’t seen them in almost a year, can you believe that? I miss them so much. <3 I’m also gonna schedule meet-ups with old friends, churchmates, and high school classmates which I failed to do last year. This is gonna be fun. :)

Thank you, God, for all your blessings. You’re the best!
