New site layout and a blog tip

The three column layout was always my favorite. At that time though I could not find a three column Relaxation theme. Abe Olandres was able to help me find one. Here is the link to my old theme template.
And for my blog tip – I really encourage bloggers to join us in our blog network meet. At the very least it will spread the link loving and share the traffics on our sites.

So far, here are the guys (and gal) who’ve talked about it, based on my dashboard trackbacks:

Blogging Dinner Aftermath

Running time was from about 5:00PM to past 10:00PM. Restaurants revolved from afternoon coffee in Starbucks Metrowalk to sisig and beer at Aysee’s to Iceberg’s for dessert. It was a great meet considering we only had a week to announce it. Anton, Ka Edong, Markku, Abe, and Vespinoy all came.

They all wrote about their individual experiences in their respective blogs. You can check out some of the pictures from Markku’s photo gallery.

Things I learned:

1. Masarap pa rin ang Aysee’s
2. Single si Abe. Apply na kayo, blogger gals!
3. A 50mm lens can do wonders
4. Tsismis outweights SEO

Thanks to Markku’s wonder dSLR (yes the wonder of 50mm lenses), he took one of my best portraits. I hope to borrow it for use in blogging profile pictures. (Hope its ok!)

In return, I took one for him:

Naks, gwaping! Most pictures can be found here.

Revisiting iBlog 2 Registration

You know its quite funny when the last few registrants of the second iBlog summit are all from the USA. The fact that they’re all spam too makes it even 2x funnier.

If you could only eat one brand of burger …?

I’m adding a new poll. The previous one was pretty lame.

If you could eat only one type of burger for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I’m definitely going for Wendy’s. The Bacon Mushroom Melt has never failed me when I needed a temporary respite from this world filled with trials and tribulations.

EDIT: Speaking of burgers, you may want to check out the most expensive hamburger in the world, which costs USD $124.50 with tax.

At about 5 1/2 inches across and 2 1/2 inches thick, the mound of meat is comprised of beef from three continents — American prime beef, Japanese Kobe and Argentine cattle.

What type of restaurant serves this?


Update on local airport security

I was watching a local news feature yesterday. Apparently local airport security are now banning several personal effects from being boarded into airplanes. Some of which include:

Golf balls
Billiard balls
Baseball Bats
Perfume

Apparently these items may potentially cause danger to passengers. The balls can be used to hurl as projectiles, the baseball bats can crack heads and the perfume bottles can hide deadly chemicals like Anthrax and Pink by Nanadabary.


These are very good efforts. However, I think it is not enough! The airport security must ban people from wearing shoes, especially the stilleto ones that can potentially pierce a person’s jugular. Security must also ban luggages and all forms of baggage, because you never know what’s inside. They should also ban laptops and mobile phones – I hear you can control a missle bay with the press of a button from a laptop. Mobile phones can be used to call in terrorists too. Security should eventually ban people from entering the airport, because people are the main cause of airway hazards like plane crashes, hijacks, and acts of terrorism.

I believe strongly in this and I hope you do too.
