In the midst of one thesis deadline, and two research presentations (all due this week), plus several other responsibilities in church and at esbi, I change my layout again.

Busy kamo?ü

Hindi Mapakali.
Thing is, our PC has finally recovered again from a major overhauling and despite my best efforts to resist, the neurons within the recesses of my cells and tissues (how’s that again, doc?) seem to rise above my heartfelt self-imposed resolutions, igniting my brain to direct my nerves and muscles to click on the computer, and allow my creative juices to freely flow into making a.. ta-da, new layout. So here now is the product of my excited neurons (I can just imagine them, microscopic as they are, jumping up and down all over my bloody cells), never mind the incorrectness of my attempt at a scientific rationale. (What the heck am I saying?)

Other than these irresistible biological urges (I hope I'm not starting to become a disgrace to science, hehe), what inspired this layout is firstly, my renewed love for pastel colors (pink, most especially.ü), and secondly, a classic song I recently heard from Kuya Igor of Meantime Band.

You see, two fridays ago, Ate Jam, Jen, and I went to watch the great HiBeam at Fullcup. Let me just say, despite its irrelevance to what I'm supposed to be blogging about, that I am such a rockstar fan. (They really should start paying me, us, hehe). HiBeam, as usual, was great. Nothing/Nobody has really made me appreciate loud music better than these guys.

Anyway, that night at Fullcup, right after HiBeam's set, came Meantime Band. There he was, Kuya Igor, the lead vocalist, effortlessly transitioning from hard music to soft jazz-slash-acoustic one, amazing us all with his knee-jelling voice. Inevitably, the moment he announced the end of their set, everyone just started shouting, “more, more!” And so, graciously doing us a favor, they rendered one last song, as if to put more icing to their already thickly fudged cake -- Rainbow Connection (<--click here, this is cutiee), in all its simplicity.

Why are there so many.. songs about rainbows? And what's on the other side?"

All three of us sat there in mushy momentous silence, sighing one after the other the whole time. I found myself closing my eyes, absorbed by the smooth flow of the music that seemed to take me away to a place where dreams come... nah!! Just got carried away. Hehe, di naman ganun kadrama. (I didn't close my eyes naman noh!). Pero `steeg talaga! I've heard the song thousands of times already but something in the way he sang it inspired the.. uhm.. neurons out of me. Something like that, hehe.

Since then, I have been conceptualizing in my mind the next layout I want for this site. As usual, hindi na naman mapakali! Arrg.

So there. Now here goes, again, the product of my inspired neurons. I guess I'll be sticking with this layout for the meantime (pun intended, heheü), and hope that you guys would like it too.

Man, if only thesis-making is as fun as webdesign, then I'd be one helluva suma cum laude. Sadly though, it's not.. so I guess I'll just settle for magna. Ha, ha! I wish!

Ariiight, gotta go, gotta go. c",)
