Blogger Template 6 – Vector Coffee

Vector Coffee Template

Vector Coffee Template

I know… I could’ve given this a better name. I didn’t really know what I was thinking when I was coming up with a name for it. But then again, the colors of this template should more than make up for the lackluster title (hopefully!) ;)

If you want to see how the real thing looks like, you can check it out here. And as usual, just select the text inside the box and copy and paste it into your own blogger template. And if you use it, just let me know and I’ll link to your page and send you some love, too :)

Btw, I have been thinking of creating some wordpress templates also. And might be able to make templates for sale or custom make one for you. So we’ll see what happens with that. but if you’re interested, just send me a line a atesienna at gmail dot com and we can talk about it :)

Blogger Template 5 – “Love Mask”

Blame my self-imposed amnesia!

I’ve almost totally forgotten that I have a couple more blogger templates I have not shared yet with you all! So here’s another one of them.

This one I called “Love Mask”. The mask just strikes me so much when I first saw it. And if you look closely into the eyes, it seems like the person behind the mask is trying to convey an emotion. Like hiding his real self from the world… or from a lover.

If want to see a demo of the template, click on this link. And if you do decide to use my template, just let me know, give me a holler and I’d be more than glad to visit you and add your link to my site!

Just cut and paste the code I have in here and replace the template code you have on your blogger account.

Farewell, Francis

I just have to write about this. 

Francis Magalona

Farewell, Francis M.

“Magalona succumbed to multiple organ failure “secondary to severe sepsis and secondary to pneumonia…”   This, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

This is really sad news for me as Francis M was an icon of my youth.  He was my contemporary.  His demise at a young age of 44, just makes me more aware that we’re not as young as we used to be.   And that I’m getting into the phase where I’m hearing more of people around my own age, or who I grew up knowing, passing away.   

The first time I heard that he had leukemia a few months back, it already saddened me so much.  But I was still hopeful that he would get well, knowing that a lot of people with the big “C” usually survive the disease and live longer lives.  At the back of my mind, I was praying he would be one of them.   But sadly, the Lord probably has other plans for him and his family.  It was time for the master rapper.

For Francis, he will be a big loss to Philippine Showbusiness.  He was considered the proponent of Filipino Rap.  He rapped about ideals, nationalism, Philippine Pride.  He was considered a rapper with so much class.    Much as I’m praying for the repose of Francis’ soul, I am also praying for his wife, Pia, and their brood of 8 children.  I pray that the Almighty One would bless them with all the graces to deal with Francis’ passing.

Rest in peace, Francis M.

This I Know
I have finally found out what my passion is. I love baking cakes, cupcakes and cookies and decorating them. Working with my hands and creating wonderful goodies that people will love, seeing the smile on their faces, the amazement in their eyes - this is what makes me happy. So I claim to the universe, I will have my own successful baking business very soon. Successful enough to leave the rat race they call the corporate world and surround myself with the food that I love to create. - Gigi "Ate Sienna" Manaloto-Refugia
