Blog Make-over

I’m loving my new and lighter page background! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Thanks to GIMP, my new image manipulation tool. It’s freeware so I don’t need to worry about licensing. I lost my pirated copy of Photoshop CS2 when I asked our IT to upgrade my OS to Windows XP from Windows 2000 last week.

Anyways, have you noticed my other add-ons?

Here are the other things I added to this blog: some are DIYs while the others are blogger widgets.

Store Banners
If you’re not aware, I have a little business hosted in multiply. We sell unbranded and branded disposable diapers at a much cheaper cost. I can attest to their quality as we also use the same diapers for our little princess. All our diapers have cloth-like back sheet cover, most have re-adjustable magic tape (velcro strap). Check us out and compare with the ones you’re using now.

Apart from diapers, we also sell gadgets – mobile phones (Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Blackberry, LG and iPhone), mp3 players, PSP, and digital cameras. Check our prices and we might have something that suits your budget.
Customized Blogger Banner
The Blogger logos found in the widget section are rather too small for my taste and my sidebar so I decided to create my own blogger badge. One of the DIYs that I super love!
Blog Roll
I didn’t know that I can create a Blog Roll without having to do it manually! Thanks to Blogger for this widget. I just did a minor tweaking to have a scrollbar for this list so that it will not take a lot of space. Want the same feature? Check out this blog.

I hope you like my improved blog site.

Recovered

Almost, but not all.

This is a follow up post to this. After two days of almost endless trying, I have somehow recovered those missing emails, partially. Thanks to my teammates who spared me some of their time as they compile the emails I need and created a PST file for me.

I have backed up the updated PST files already. They should be safe now.

Apart from retrieving some emails from my teammates, I am happy to announce that I finally bid goodbye to my old school (good thing it is still supported) Windows 2000 operating system. I’m now on XP.

I just finished importing my back up files and I’m ready for another day of work using this new machine.

By the way, our IT guys also installed Yahoo! messenger 9 to my machine. I wasn’t probably into it at home that I just realized just now, after so many months, that Yahoo! no longer allow those super customizable skins. The current skins are just SO SO! Some even look really awful! I hope developers out there create skins and more skins soon!

Hep Hep Hooray!

Last night, as I was having my dose of television, I saw Ayex took her microphone. I thought she’s going to sing her heart out again, which she usually does at night-time when almost everyone at home and in our neighbor are already sleeping. She did that at a much later time.

She walked in this very funny way while saying echos – echos – hep hep horay! I understood that she is playing hep hep horay with me and Ate Jinky but I didn’t get what she’s saying before she says hep hep horay. She alternately points the mic to me and to Ate Jinky and we should say hep hep horay after her. Twice, Ate Jinky tried saying it with actions and Ayex almost poked her with the microphone! Bad girl!

So as she alternates between me and Ate Jinky, I asked Ate Jinky if she knows what Ayex is saying before the hep hep horay and even the walk she is doing. It turns out that it is how the game master acts as they play hep hep horay. And I went Ahhhhhhhh. Today, my sister, Toni, explained it to me better.
