First Entry with Picture

I wonder how this looks like.

I just wanted to see how an entry would look like with a picture in it. Pictures are such interesting things, no?



In case you're wondering, this is a picture of my study clutter.

ETA: It doesn't look bad, after all. I've been avoiding placing pictures in my entries because I thought it would destroy my magazine-type lay-out, but whatdyaknow? It enhances it just fine. I guess this means more pictures in the future, eh?

E once more TA: Now that I've finished being astounded by the effect of pictures on an entry, I am now going to close the Internet Explorer and make my way to McDo, where I am going to continue studying for my actuarial exam. Ha! Haven't written that in ages!

Revamp

It seems auspicious, somehow.

Frequent readers of this blog, viewers of my Multiply, and stalkers in Friendster will surely recognize that I have revamped almost everything about these sites. The reason for these changes is simple: it's a new year, and I want to greet it with a new interface. It just seems auspicious, somehow.

The more observant ones will notice that there is a running theme in all three web sites: the earth colors. I have adopted a color scheme that I find to be pleasant to the eyes. Before the sudden emergence of my need to expand on my clothing options (in other words, before vanity), my shirts were almost always earthy in color. They were plain and safe more often than not.

That time of safety in fashion is long gone now, but the pleasantness of the earth hues remains. Other than that, this was the only template in Blogger that I found to be reasonably attractive, so when I adopted it, I decided to use the colors present in the template to my other sites. And so we now have a running theme.

And so we now have a major revamp. Enjoy!

Of Tags and Labels

Can anyone help me find a way around this?

After playing around my labels for a bit, I realized that they weren't working the way I expected them to. By clicking on one of the tags listed on the right side of my blog, I anticipated that the page would show all entries posted under that particular tag. Unfortunately, this is not the case. What the page shows are entries that were posted under that tag only for a single month. That kind of defeats the purpose entirely. Can anyone help me find a way around this? I would NOT like to use Blogger beta at all.

P.S. And while we're at it, I just discovered that my site looks really crappy when seen in other computers that do not have the fonts that I use. I'm going to try and find out what these fonts are later (as it's 4 in the morning and I still have to study and I just feel so goddam tired), and I'll post links so you can download them. So that you'll see what the site really looks like with cool fonts and everything! :)

Transference

...this blog stays despite eveything...

If you look at the right side of this site, you'll notice that this is the third blog that I have created. The first two "died" because of two different reasons-- the first due to betrayal, the second due to boredom. Given recent life-changing events, it would seem like a good time to change blog sites anew. Except that I will not. Not this time.

Recovery is not easy. It never was. Up until now I cannot honestly say that I have recovered. But I can try to reach that moment when I can be happy with myself once again. I can attempt to reach that point when I don't suddenly stare into space thinking of what-ifs and suddenly fall into uncomfortable silence thinking of if-only's.

Yet in my quest of finding new meaning in the future, I have to face what I have done in the past. I have to remember, so that I may learn. Hence, this blog stays despite everything that has happened. Life is a continuous series of events, both happy and sad, both good and bad, and this blog will attempt to emulate that.

Despite the pain. Despite the sorrow.

In hopes of sunshine after the rain. In hopes for an enlightened tomorrow.

Kingdom Expansion

Travel on... to the land of Multiply.

The king has decided to expand his kingdom beyond the borders of Blogspot Land. Although the new land contains exactly the same letters and laws as that present in Blogspot, citizens will be surprised to see that the place is actually more visual in nature. Those clamoring for a portrait with the King can find themselves happier there. Travel on, citizens, to the land of Multiply.

Back for Good?

... the dark-skinned king has finally returned to that which he truly loves: numbers.

After days of trying to fix the brand new wreck, weeks of going against the butterfly effect, and months of self-discovery, the dark-skinned king has finally returned to that which he truly loves: numbers! Not that he will be very explicit about this love-- the title does say it all. Numbers are not all that he knows, and he is back to prove it!

And on the heels of that glaring contradiction, let me be the first to welcome you back into my kingdom. Step in, folks, and welcome to my blog.
