finally. yihee. well its not that 100% finished yet but i now feel very comfortable with this new lay-out. i like it. well like what ccigaux said, if you’re happy with it then let it be. im happy. so screw whoever says this new template sucks.

back to topic. i wanna try to dissect the new face of my world just for the fun of it and not because i want to convince myself that i love it.

1. the color. its a blue…bluish-green…greenish-blue…light-bluish green something…i might go on forever trying to describe the color in such exactness so il stop now. instead lets have fun. il let you guys decide on the name of my blog template.

2. the background. i assure you guys, i don’t know what kind of worldly spirit possessed me to use such background (read: sexy-girl-with-big-boobs-who-probably-works-as-a-stripper). well the other background that i had up had the same image plus a swirling array of greens and blues which eventually gave me a headache just staring at it. thank you for giving me the go signal to completely take it out.

3. the sidebar. i loovvee the sidebar. i know, i know it looks overdone with all the eeny-weeny thumbnails i used as links to my favorite stuff. but im happy with it. because i gave such effort and and it took me 4, count, 4 days to finish it. and even if it looks too much, il just cover my ears and keep it.

4. the header. that is not actually the complete image. it was cut off. i cut off the lower part because it has a rainbow attached to it. and yes, it has pink butterflies. it looks too girly but i like butterflies so deal with it.

5. font color. is a pale yellow. i aplogize for the blinding color on my other posts. that’s beacuse i posted those stuff when the background for my text is still white. but from now on, my new font color is pale yellow. i heart yellow.

okay, shoot me now.

and as promised, here’s my bloody post for the now-seems-to-be-dead-issue-that-is-the-ultra-stampede-tragedy:

while reading the newspapers and watching the news, there are only two actions being done on this issue. its either people are blaming each other or nobody is supposed to be blame.

on second thought, who is to be blamed?

do we blame the event organizers for not having a clear eye on what could have happened? they already saw people camping out and sleeping on the streets outside ultra days before the event. haven’t they perceived the large number of audience who are eager to watch willie revillame in person? they knew right from the start that the venue can only accomodate a maximum of 17,000 people whereas 30,000 more are clamoring in the streets…did they ignore this fact and just pushed through the event on the same venue that obviously could not seat such sheer number of people?

do we blame the police and local officials for not cooperating with the event organizers? when the safety and wellnes of the people living in your community is at stake, aren’t you supposed to take responsibilty for these people?

do we blame the audience? these people who are lured to millions of pesos, house and lot, jeepneys, appliance packages and promises that can hurdle them towards a more prosperous life. they see willie revillame like a god, an idol, who can take them away from their miserable life. can we blame them? when their only hope for a better life is a game show that makes it too easy to win cash prizes?

do we blame the government? the president? because opinions are flying everywhere that the ultra stampede mirrors the reality that is a majority of filipinos are driven to poverty. they’ve lost hope on our government that their only hope is wowoweee. 

there’s too many questions. too many people speaking at the same time. tv execs throwing money everywhere. too much politicking going on…when will we finally come together as a nation?

okay, il channel back to the happysarah mood. i watched Just Like Heaven last week and fell in love. watched the movie 5 times since i bought a copy. there’s something about the simplicity of the movie, the story, the plot, the actors, the acting itself and the lines that moved me. its my new all-time favorite.

also watched spongebob the movie. was able to secure a collection 1 cd that showcases 35 episodes! very very coooool! i love spongebob and patrick star. they’re just so cute and stupid im in love with them both.

was forced to watch fantastic four with geebee. did not really enjoy the movie. i guess i expected too much. but then, johnny storm is one H-O-T guy (if you pardon the pun).

we’re still on a 6-day work week for 4 weeks straight now and its driving me crazy. im so tired again. very, very tired. but the silver lining on my dark cloudy day is that ive finally redeemed myself when it comes to my stats here at work. im now rank #113 out of 600 agents…whoa, straight 100% surveys, baby!
