My New Home

Well, here is my new Baul ni Noel blog theme. It's not 100% finish yet. I just want to see how it looks like and if ever there are problems that I might encounter.

What's new?

1. First, I made it wider but not so wide as to not make it wider than other low-end computer resolution of 1024 x 768.
2. If you notice, I used my old theme's layout. I actually love the layout of my previous one so I tried to use the same with a twist of larger header image.
3. I also made use of the Slide Flash Slideshow and made it float in front of my banner image, I love the transparency effect of the flash on my banner image - cool eh?
   
4. I put a small portion or space floating on the left for my Adgitize. Not to brag, it is making me money so why not share it.
5. Header images for every widget. As you can see, not all widgets have their headers, I still have a few more things to do.
6. I don't know if it is with me only, but I think my blog is taking quite some time to load. I've checked and I know it isn't the header or banner. I am thinking it could be the flash slideshow.
7. The main background isn't finish yet.
8. The top and footer image isn't finish yet.
9. I've got a lot of things to do improve here, I know so please bear with me guys.

And so that's it for now. Hope you like my new home. BTW, the slideshow has a music, click the speaker button on the slideshow to listen to it. When I first heard the song I felt in love with it.

Free Wallpaper

I've been disconnected to the whole world for a few days since my internet connection is giving me headaches. My internet provider seems to have problems fixing and finding solution to my current problem. They have sent technicians 4 times and none of them solved the problem. I've tried what they told me and replace my old cables and wires with new ones but still it won't connect. It started when I decided to upgrade my ADSL from 256k to 512k so my last resolution is to downgrade once again to 256k, atleast with that speed I have not faced problems except the fact that it is slow.

Well, the great thing is when you are disconnected to the whole world, you are connected to who ever or what ever is near you and that is my family. So what have I been doing this past few days? I have enjoyed the fruits of my labor - my new Samsung Omnia 2. I used the built-in camera to focus on a new hobby and now I am aiming to buy a Canon EOS 500D. I took pictures of whatever I find that looks interesting, of course I don't gamble on displaying to the whole world my new toy especially those thieves who want to get a hold of it.

Okay since I am out for a while I have decided to give a free gift to all my readers. Here is a free wallpaper to everyone. This is from me and my son and we are hoping for you all to enjoy this gift. There are 2 versions,  widescreen version and the other is for tall screens.

Here are the previews and links.

Tall Version (1280 x 1024)

Wide Version (1280 x 768)

This is a reminder for us always to be a good person in order for others to see how GOD works in each of us.

You're Not A Monster!

From the movie Cars, Lightning McQueen, the main star of the movie is my son Ize’s favorite toy/character, etc. The story is about a rookie race car McQueen who loves to be the champion and be the first rookie to ever win the Piston Cup. Because of McQueen’s desire to win Dinoco as his sponsor against Chic Hicks and the current champion The King, he ended up in a place called Radiator Springs when he mistakenly took Route 66 instead of going to his next matches place. He was placed under public service and repair the roads he ruined.

Ever since Ize watched the movie (that was when he was still 2 years old), he loved the movie so much up to now. Lightning McQueen is Ize’s hero, his buddy, his champion, his most favorite companion when sleeping, his favorite drawn character, etc... It sometimes made me jealous to see him watching the movie repeatedly than being with me or with us (my wife). Sometimes we join him so we’ll get to be with him and interact with him. He’ll cry so much if he didn’t get to see his favorite pal, McQueen for a day.

Last night before sleeping, he was playing with his toy car McQueen while in bed so I tried to annoy him by pretending to be a monster and bite his cheeks and ears. He was laughing while I’m playing with him. I told him I am like a monster. But he said something that made me stop and this is what he said, “No you are not a monster!”. So I asked him – “What am I like? What is Daddy like?”.  And then he told me “You’re not a monster, You’re like Lightning McQueen!”. I hugged him and kissed him after that. We prayed together and we slept. I am so blessed, I could cry.
