So there.

A new look to my blog. I like this template. So serene...and it so connotes what I have in mind these days.

Funny, a friend asked me yesterday how I could even think of leaving the city and living in an unexciting rural town for the rest of my life. I've never really thought of my eventual transfer into a quiet rural setting as a drastic change in my life. I do not crave parties and even shy away from them. Though I prefer to work at night, I oftentimes get really sleepy at 9 in the evening. I am tired of the pollution, the noise, the chaos, the time pressure that living in the city inevitably brings.

I have spent a week living beside the sea. I must admit, thought, that that time frame could hardly prepare me for long-term rural living. But I have always been an adaptable sort of person. I can manage. I will. I have always dreamt of someday living (or working) in a beach resort. And I will get both dreams fulfilled in one lifetime. As an added bonus, of course, I have Joks beside me always.

As for the new look to my blog, I have decided to change it because, well, I am getting tired of the old one (which, I think, was called Herbert). This one, is called Harbor. I am glad that there are new templates available now. Last year, there were only six designs from which you could choose. Anyway, I had a hell of a time trying to figure out where to put my links and whatnots. Geez. Iba na talaga pag 'di marunong ng hard code eh. I had to go at it blindly. I must have republished a dozen times before finally getting it correctly. Buti na lang, I finally figured it out.
