Help Wanted!!!!

To all my blogging friends who can help me with this problem please, please, please tell me how I could do this as I am now at my wits end on how I can edit my layout so that my blog posts would show the date of posting on top and how I could edit my post footer so it shows quick edit when I log in... I have checked the appropriate boxes but still they don't show up. It probably has something to do with the html or something but as I am just learning how to do this I don't want to experiment and ruin the layout again as it will make start all over with a new one... please, anybody... help!

Accidental New Look

I guess those who are frequent visitors here would know that I have just finished "tweaking" the template that I chose last January for my blog, so you're probably wondering why I changed the look AGAIN, so soon! Well, actually, I was just looking at new templates and contemplating a new look by middle of this year... But of course, clumsy me struck again... I accidentaly erased my old template and I didn't have a backup copy... so, what was I supposed to do?! I just had to have a new one and quit crying over the one I lost. I could probably track my widgets and stuff from where I got them but I guess that will take a while. Hopefully, you (my frequent visitors... as well as the new ones) would bare with me for a while and still continue to hop on my blog.

Blinkies

I have made and uploaded my first two blinkies yesterday! Yey! The first one is the "I love Digiscraping" blinkie found in the addicting hobbies part of this blog and the other one is the "Thank You for visiting Winged Words" blinkie which I placed in the welcome guests box... hopefully I can make more as time goes by... maybe even more complicated ones... as for now, my current project is the changing of my blog template... I know, I know, I just changed it several months ago, but it's the new year and I want something new... maybe tomorrow, I'll be done with it already... haay! being cooped up in the house can get you tinkering on a lot of things talaga! Like last night I started creating a scrapbook (not a digital one but a real scrapbook on what our house looks like now and what I would want our house (the one that we bought in cavite -- strike that -- loaned pala!) to look like. I literally cut out pictures in magazines and pasted it on the scrapbook. Also I found this old, paint palette we were given when we once went to a builders' exhibit and ripped out the paint colors that I liked and stuck it to the scrapbook! My husband commented on me being overly excited about it when we don't even know when we would be given the "thumbs up" to start the renovations... I just smiled at him and said "better be ready, than be caught without plans"... the truth is, I really am excited, I mean, finally I would be able to do the things I want as to the paint color and placement of built in cabinets and installation of display cabinets in the kitchen and stuff...

Maybe I'm just bored... But at least me creative juices are still flowing even with this blasted allergies! Whatever, anyways... people, watch out for the changes that are coming to the look of this blog!

(Ooops! I just realized I was just going to post about the blinkies and I got carried away again... anyway... I'd like to credit the Denim Page Kit by happy-scrap for the paper, elements and other stuff I put on both the blinkies.)

BLOG TAG

I got this from Mhay but didn’t realize it until today… hehehe, sorry Mhay, I thought it was just the friendships online that you tagged me with… anyways, here it goes:

1. How long have you been blogging?
I started blogging (with Blogger) November of 2004 but I was maintaining a different blog before that, I just got more comfortable using blogger.

2. What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?
Way before I started blogging, I like keeping a journal already so blogging is like an extension of that for me. I was most convinced to keep on blogging when I saw that there were many others who were maintaining one specially before I got married when I joined W@W.

3. Are you trying to make money online, or just doing it for fun?
Like my other fellow bloggers, the money making part is only recently… I’m basically keeping the blog because I like doing so and not just for the money.

4. Tell me 3 things you LOVE about being online.
(Mhay really hit the bullseye with this so I’m just repeating her answers since I have the same reasons as her)
- I gained of friends.
- I get to learn a lot of new things also.
- It lets me earn extra money.

5. Tell me 3 things you STRUGGLE within the online world.
- Not having enough time to really be online.
- Putting into words the things that I would like to do so on time (or else the moment passes me by).
- Gaining more traffic towards my blog.

My Desktop

I have been tagged by Mhay about how my desktop looks for sometime now but am only now posting this... (sorry Mhay, slightly ngarag ang lola mo, nyahahaha!)


Anyways, as you can all see, my wallpaper is a picture of me and my husband in front of our first apartment in Las Piñas. And if you scrutinize the icons on the left side, most of it are games I usually play whenever I have the time (which is non-existent these days!). And since most of the blogs I visit have already posted something like this already, I don't know who else to tag...

Paliwanag, and all that!

What's new?! I just came from a long, tiring and boring "blog-update-less" existence and I cannot begin to describe or explain the things that happened to me while I was not able to get access to my own blog...

First, I couldn't go online at home anymore because I have discarded my antique PC and have yet to purchase a new one, second our internet connection at the office has been non-existent since "Milenyo" (but obviously is now restored since I am able to write this post today, hehehe!) and then even if there was a connection here I wouldn't have been able to write one because I was on sick leave for 10 days! I got the worse luck last month, whew! Buti na lang November na, baka my luck has changed already. Anyway, here's bits and pieces of kwento on the past happenings....

Melfender meets Melfender

My favorite cousin Mel-mel visited me a weeks ago and we spent the afternoon together. She kept on making kwento in her slightly "bulol" way and I kept laughing at her mixed up stories. I took the picture above... I kept saying Wow! Magkamukha kayo ng deco-doll namin! So I named the doll "Fendi" (one of our pet names for Melfender)

Fun

One time, Charlie picked me up from work and when we saw what the other was wearing we laughed out loud... we were wearing the same color shirts! Hehehe, it was totally by accident because he wasn't wearing that shirt when he went to work but had to change because he spilled something on what he was wearing and the only shirt he had left in his locker was the same color as what I wore to work that day.... we took several pictures to commemmorate the event, hehehe! Babaw namin no?

Holloween

My sisters spent several days with me during their semestral break from school and we ended our fun "vacation" time by fooling around during holloween. (picture to follow since I have to get home already and have not yet uploaded the pics)
