Snaps [testing...]

Nothing. I was just testing my photoblogging template. Nice, huh?

Simple photoblogging

Hey did you know that you can make a photo album of sorts using Blogger and Hello (software from Picasa) which automates everything from uploading to a picture to publishing it to your photoblog-album?

I don't know if this is a novel idea but I started playing around with it until I made a template to make things really simple. It uses div tags to create floating boxes with a nifty mouseover effect. Anyway, here's a tutorial and the code.

First Project

Here's what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if it looks really nice but I'm satisfied, after all, it is my first try.

Project Greycore

This is the actual layout of my latest project. I think I'll have to change some things though but mostly it will stay white and grey.

Don't ask why its called "Project Greycore", because I also don't know. Actually its one of those things that pop into your head when you're trying to sleep. I also think it sounds cool. Well, the first design proposal of Project Greycore is a mecha-inspired design theme, and that was supposedly the layout, but I changed my mind. I'll try to post it because I also think its cool. It;s the first time I've done anything like that since I'm more of the minimalist type. Posted by Hello

Nearly finished

Only less than a week to go and school's over and I'm finished. Yes, it's both good and bad.

There's more to look forward in the weeks to come though. I'll be starting something called Project Greycore where I'll post alot of what I know about design and maybe a little code (I'm more an artist than a coder) I was also thinking if I can make it my portfolio too. Also, I'll finally get to work on my little project, that is, a technology blog named pinoytechie. The idea remains the same, its an IT blog that would cater to the Philippine setting. I've had a hard time finding time for this, but maybe things will work out this break. Frankly, I think I really need help on this because I can this thing sucking up all my time. Then again, the hardest part is usually the first part.

An a lighter note, I think I'm getting fat. Seriously (especially for thos who know me personally) I've been thinking that maybe I'm the opposite of those binge eaters who grow alot when push comes to shove. Well, that's all. I promise I'll try to keep this really up to date this "vacation"

Summer enlistment

The CRS has opened ahead of time for summer enlistment. I have already planned to take Math 54 during summer (that is, I pray that I pass 53) together with PE (since I don't have one this semester) Right now, I'm leaning towards softball, but I must say that I would like to try something new [and adventurous] - Camping.

We'll see what I come up with by week's end. By the way, enlistment for Summer 2004-2005 ends on April 1, 2005 (no kidding)

Farewell

When I hear of crimes happening in UP, I usually shrug my shoulder and mutter, "What's new?" Today, things [and circumstances] are different. To the informed, you may well know what I mean.

When the victim is not anyone you know, see or have talked to; there is not much care that you can give. When the victim is not a classmate, not once a groupmate; there is not much to relate to. But when he is, suddenly you know. Suddenly you you realize the life lost. You become aware.

May you find peace and may we offer our prayers. For in that sleep, what dreams may come. Goodbye Mr. Mendoza.

Hell on Earth

Get ready...

Tomorrow starts what is to be what we would want to fondly call "hell week". So, please give me your indulgence, patience and understanding if in the next few days, I would seem detached from reality. This means, refrain from being a jerk (do not bother me unnecesarily, hehehe , JOKE)

New look

Welcome to the fifth revision of my blog.
