I Hate Having A Cold

2/365 days of blogging.

I hate having a cold.  This is one affliction I always suffered from ever since I was a kid.  And since I’m a regular “client” of it, I actually know if my cold is just going to be ordinary that would be gone by the end of the day or it’s the kind that would make me stay in bed because I’m like a walking dripping faucet – full of germs and everything I touch turns into SICK.

The last one is what I have right now.  My nose is so clogged up, my head hurts and I’m feeling the chills.  I’m actually wearing my warmest jacket right now under 2 sheets of comforters.  My eyes are really droopy.  And I’m just typing this because I want to write about it while I have it.

So if this annoying cold continues tomorrow, I’m not going to go to work tomorrow.  It’s just gross blowing your nose in a crowded pod of cubicles.  I know I hate it when someone does it so I’m not going to do it.  No way.

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.

Highlight and copy the XML Code inside the text area box and replace your current code.

Blogger Templates, Part 1

I had been missing from the website design scene for a long time now and it was quite a struggle to come back and do Blogger templates. I scratched about a couple of designs since they all didn’t feel right. Since I’ve moved to WordPress, I haven’t really been aware of the many changes Blogger has done with they way they do templates and so I had to relearn those tricks. But like riding a bicycle, you don’t really forget everything alltogether.

I’m going back to what this website was originally supposed to offer – website designs.

This is the first one:

13 Months of Sunshine is also a fluid 2-column, white background template. It’s also Firefox and IE-friendly.

  • You can view the live demo here
  • Highlight the XML code in the box, copy and replace your current XML template code.

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
