Transient Dreams

I loved the last episode of Supernatural! Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) was so funny!!!

Dean SCREAMING!

Dean sings “Eye of the Tiger” :giggly:

So… I have a new theme. It’s not as great as the last one I had up but hey, it took me just a few minutes to make it! It started off with multiple sidebars but coding was a pain. I’m sure we all feel the same way about Internet Explorer. Oh well… This will have to do! It seems to be working fine in Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and IE but if you encounter any errors, please contact me so I can fix it.

Rose Letter — not very original, I know. And the first WordPress theme I ever made (years ago) was called “Letters” – pfft. It was so…green. LOL. I’m happy with this one because it’s widget-enabled.

Yes, I got the name from that image I used for the header. It was part of my Time (concept) portfolio for FOTOGRA. I can’t remember the title I’d written down for it.

Let me know what you think! I still need to add some stuff to the stylesheet but I’ll do that later — probably sometime next week. I have to get some sleep. I promised my mom I’d go to church with her at 6 AM! Then we’re probably going to be busy for the rest of the day. Good night!

EDIT, 12:52 PM: I’m redoing some of the images and the coding so things might be a little wonky.

EDIT, 03:31 PM: Done! I changed the background to a light color. I think it looks better now.

EDIT, 06:12 PM: Expect Version 2.0 before October. I really, really want to spruce this up. I feel like something’s missing.

EDIT, 19 SEP 2008, 01:24 AM: I couldn’t sleep so I worked on the theme again… This is Version 2.0! haha. Thank you to everyone who commented on the first version! ^_^

EDIT, 19 SEP 2008, 02:07 PM: I changed everything around again. Back to dark colors. pfft. It suits my mood anyway. I’ll probably change it again in a few days.

Hey! It’s Thursday!!! Supernatural!!!

I promised to blog last week — was it just last week? I feel like I’ve been gone for ages.

I got sick last Tuesday. I vomited everything I ate. I made it through all my classes but I felt so sick at the end of the day that I asked my sister to go up to the building to get me. The school personnel went looking for me and escorted me to the clinic. To tell you the truth, I was unimpressed by the college doctor.

The next day (Wednesday), I ended up in the hospital and missed my PROFES1 class. I was diagnosed with Acid Peptic Disease. I’ll be taking meds for two weeks.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I can’t find my four-leaf clover! (hehe..I’m referring to a holiday card from my grandmother, I used to wish on it when I was little). This is the day when we all get to be Irish! LOL. But technically, St. Patrick’s Day is over – we’re a day ahead, GMT+8. But it’s still the 17th in Ireland right?

Hehe, I just realized that I haven’t blogged for two weeks now. Sorry about that! I’ve been busy agonizing about the not-so-good as well as the great stuff that’s been going on in my life lately…AND I’ve been playing online TCGs. There’s a new link next to “The Pursuit of Happiness,” Connoisseur, my TCG Trading Post. PLUG: Hunters Inc, a Supernatural TCG. Please don’t forget to say Fatima referred you!

BTW, Monica and I are planning on creating a TCG Awards Site. I’ll let you guys know once we’ve started working on it – in case any of you own/run a TCG or plan to open one. (*Note: Monica is the owner of The Grey Havens, a Lord of the Rings TCG.

As you all probably know, I took the entrance exam yesterday! It was okay. I did very well on most of the subtests except for the two Math parts. I’ve forgotten how to solve some of the problems so I only managed to answer about half of the questions on both subtests. I just guessed the answers on the rest. haha. Now all I have to do is wait for the results. Hopefully, I did well enough to pass. And if I do pass, the next thing I’d have to worry about is how to pay my tuition. *sigh…

Remember when I said I lost five kilos? Hehe… Well, I’m back to my normal weight. I don’t know how I did it but I managed to gain three kilos in one day. My best friend’s mom is such a great cook! I must have consumed half my own weight in food after Alexis‘ (my new goddaughter!) christening.

My favorite cousin might get married..by the end of the year. I think it’s okay. She’s turning twenty-four on the 21st and I think she’s responsible enough. She has a stable job, she seems to have most of her priorities straight, etc. Anyway, my point is, when we talked yesterday…on the way home, I realized that I didn’t even ask her if she loved the guy. Somehow that made me feel like I treated our conversation like a business venture or something. I’m a romantic, always have been but I guess things like marriage..I see them in a much more practical way. Or am I so cynical now that I didn’t even consider love? It really bothers me.

My sister and I are currently watching Season 3 of Felicity. Yay! I’m trying to keep my mind off Supernatural. Gaaaah! I’m so addicted to it. If you’re a fan too, please join Hunters Inc – make my day, say I referred you. Haha. Shameless plugs. Bear with me. I rarely get obsessed about TV shows. I am and will always be a book-over-movies-and-TV kind of girl.

First of all, I want to thank Vera for tagging my board! It’s been getting lonely. Chau, hehe. My private blog’s not up yet. I’m trying to decide whether to host it on my domain or find another host so that it’d be harder to trace. What do you guys think? Cherrie Asakura, thank you. That means a lot to me. Hey, maybe you could still take some computer courses? Even if it’s just for fun – if that’s something you really enjoy. Danna, Trixie and Vera, thank you! I still haven’t gone to the doctor but I’m back to my normal weight so..hehe. I’ll probably still have a check-up sometime this year though because the chest pains haven’t gone away completely. Luccia, wow, congratulations! I haven’t heard from you in a while. I’ve missed you… Amy, yay for another long comment! The Pursuit of Happyness: I actually didn’t notice the wrong spelling until after I saw the movie – I noticed it on the movie poster. haha! I don’t know how I missed it. Chette, thank you dear! Snez, yes, the world does work in strange ways. I try to gain weight but can’t. Pfft! Shelly, I lost 11 lbs., to be exact. Gaaaah! But I’m back to 48 Kg. *whew… I’ve always wanted to donate blood but I’m deathly afraid of needles and I’m anemic. I’ve tried iron supplements and it helps..but I’m still anemic. Haha! I know another Christina who’s a bit like Christina in Grey’s Anatomy. It’s definitely freaky. I like Preston and Christina’s relationship. Christina’s not into the mushy stuff but you can see that she really cares about Preston. It’s like those people who are so considerate of each other when they think no one’s watching (something Cher said about Dionne and Murry in Clueless).

Okay, that’s it for this blog! I’m off to watch Felicity with my sister.

I like him. He says okay-dokay.

Hi everyone! ^_^ I was itching to blog yesterday but I was working on ONDAMIXXX..argh. I should’ve just blogged. All the work I did was wasted..I had to reinstall WordPress because I messed up something when I upgraded it. Anyway, I don’t have time to make a personalized theme for it yet so I uploaded a preset. If you have time, please visit and comment on how things look. Oh, and have you noticed that I tweaked my Letters Theme? What do you guys think? Does it look better now? And did you notice the link above that says The Pursuit of Happiness? hehe. It’s my Wordpress.com blog. I’ve finally decided to use it. Transient Dreams will still be my main blog though. I’m just going to use the other blog for book, movie and music reviews (they’re going to be informal though..basically I’ll just be ranting/raving about my favorites/non-faves). I’m also going to create a new private blog. If you want the password, just ask. If we don’t know each other offline, I’ll probably give it to you.

I’m going to take the extrance exam on the 17th of March! Wish me luck! ^_^ If I pass, I’ll be able to enroll into the Multimedia Arts program. I hope they’ll credit all of my minor subjects. I’ll be able to work – maybe even full-time – if I only have to take the major courses. Graduating from DLSU-M is definitely an advantage. The course syllabi are basically the same. At least, that’s what I’ve heard from people I know who’ve transferred from DLSU-M to DLS-CSB.

I’ve lost five kilos. FIVE! Gaaaah! Scary. I’m not even on a diet! I eat a LOT. (Note: I’ve never gone on a diet – okay, I have. But I was on a patient’s diet so that doesn’t count. I had to eat hospital food because I was sick.) Plus, my mom wants to get my heart checked out. I’ve been having chest pains lately. I think I’m probably just overeating. My mom’s afraid because she used to have the same chest pains when she was young – she has a congenital heart disease (she had open heart surgery back in 2000). I dunno… Maybe it’s nothing. Besides, I really don’t want to go to the hospital and have them poke needles into me. I’ve managed to avoid that for four years. Gaaah… I don’t even want to get a flu shot!

My best friend’s adopted baby sister is going to be christened tomorrow!! I’m going to have a new goddaughter! Well..it’ll be official tomorrow. My mom and my sister just went off to the church to confirm her registration. She’s adorable! She’s half-Korean, I think. Or half-Taiwanese? Gaaah! I’m not sure… I have to ask Beh again. *gulp* I wonder…do I have to wear a dress? Eeek! I haven’t worn a dress in a while. And I don’t feel like wearing one. Oh well… We’ll see.

Okay, I couldn’t resist. I have to blog about Jensen Ackles again. ^_^;; I posted some pics over at The Pursuit of Happiness. I’ll probably keep posting Dean Winchester quotes until I run out of them. He’s such a wiseguy. Gaaaaaah…. I want to watch Supernatural again..but I can’t watch it alone. I’ll probably pester my sis to watch it with me. But then..that’s probably not a good idea. She screams a lot when we watch scary movies and it’s infectious – even when you’re not really scared, she’ll make you want to scream.

Yay! Time to answer comments. Amy strengthened my resolve to do better at it. I used to answer comments in my blog after my actual posts but it got so tedious and time-consuming that I stopped. I’m going to start doing it again because I love it when people comment and I want you guys to know that I really appreciate how you take time out to read my blog. First up, Niki! Hun, you really should try and watch Supernatural sometime. It’s GRRREAT! Please? For me? Lol. Just give it a chance. Maybe you’ll end up loving it as much as I do. Chau, thank you! BTW, I’m really sorry but I still haven’t been able to catch up with your blogs Things are just too hectic for me but I’ll make it up to you somehow. *hugs* Shelly, you always make me smile! I love your comments! Yup, that’s right! Supernatural is the series with the two brothers. Haha..I get scared too! It’s just that with my whole family watching (and me always sitting in the middle), I always have someone to clutch and squeeze to death when I get really scared. What can I say? I’m evil. Just kidding! You watch Grey’s Anatomy too?! My siblings and I love it! I love Christina! Are you a Meredith x Derek fan or an Addison x Derek fan? I like Addy sometimes (emphasis on SOMETIMES) but I’m glad Meredith and Derek are getting back together (They are right? We haven’t seen the most recent episodes yet). And McSteamy… hmmn… Well, I still like Dean Winchester better! LOL. Cherrie Asakura, I’m more of a J-Rocker too ^_^ BTW, I love your theme’s header image. And last but definitely not least, Amy, thank you for your comment! I love long comments! And thank you for including me in your prayers, I really appreciate it. I’m glad you like Connoisseur’s layout. It took me a while to get it to look just right. I couldn’t decide what colors to use (the text used to be blue). Supernatural can get really scary..even when you can predict what will happen next. Gaaah..The Bloody Mary episode freaked me out too. I was afraid to look at the mirror because I might “think” her name and I kept thinking that would be enough to make her appear. Waaaah! *shakes head* I have to get that thought out of my head. I remember one of the episodes where an imaginary ghost came alive because people kept believing in him.

So..that’s it for now! Talk to you all again soon! *huggles*
