bury me in this dress

Maybe someone who’s more knowledgeable with Wordpress themes can help me. I just couldn’t figure out how to make a separate links page. I have links.php in my theme’s folder but when I try to call it by typing the address on the browser’s addy bar, it won’t load cos “it doesn’t exist”. I am confused. Heniway, I’m trying to organize my blog links. I keep on forgetting to add the blogs I read because I automatically just subscribe to the feeds and forget to blog link. Feh.

I just found out that I was included for week 2 (”bloggers”) and that I’ll receive a gift. I wonder what the gift is. Anyway, thanks to pinoytwitter for picking me. I do tend to twit a lot when I’m awake and online.

P.S.

If you want to add me to twitter, my addy is twitter.com/dementia

I got myself a paid flickr account last October so I decided to fully utilize it by linking photos I’ve uploaded there to this blog. I’ve been procrastinating (it took me almost 2 months just to search for a plugin) and just tried several plugins tonight, most of which are kinda crappy. Then I tried this fucktastic plugin by tantan and went a bit apeshit. It’s awesome. Now I have a gallery inside my theme and there’s an option for a widget (check the side panel). I’m still using WP 2.1.3 and have no plans of upgrading anytime soon cos of possible plugin conflicts. I don’t know if the plugin will work with the latest release but I still recommend it.

I sent an email to Yehey to include me in the Trinoma blogger food tour. I didn’t receive any replies so I assumed that the quota has been filled. Then I read lordart’s twit that the food tour has been moved. I asked why and he said that some restos want to join in and there’s some reorganization going on. Of course, not those exact words. Anyway, I told him that I don’t think I was accepted but he informed me that I made the list. So yay! Free food is always good. The drawback of being included is that my real name is now revealed for the whole world to know. You win some, you lose some.

FYI, I’ve never been to Trinoma so the tour will be my first time there.

I just got an email from hmv.co.jp that my orders have already been dispatched.

Welcome to your new home Hiro Mizushima

Alright. I’m perfectly capable of making my own theme but I don’t want to be bothered right now so I’m willing to pay for one. I don’t know the going rate for themes but I’m going for the look of Artistique Ilustra’s blog but more appropriate for my domain name. I guess this involves some illustration work. If you know a capable artist or is one, please send me links to portfolios.

I found out today that (erm yesterday technically) Bishie finished his OJT with us so that means I won’t be seeing him anymore. Sad sad sad. No more eye candy in the office. I will see him again during our office xmas party on the 18th but that’s it…unless he gets to work for us but we don’t have any openings according to mom. I’ll just post our last photo together (ugh…with mom too) in remembrance. That didn’t sound right. It’s like somebody died.

Goddamn blog. It blocked me and said I’m a spammer. And no good webhost either since they never responded to my inquiry. I think I need to migrate to a better webhost. Any recommendations?

I saw this in Shabby’s blog and wanted to do the same.

step one: make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered…whatever you’re comfortable with) to your LJ/blog. the post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes.

the wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (”i’d love a ______ icon that’s just for me”) to medium (”i wish for _____ on DVD”) to really big (”all i want for christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.”). the important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

if you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just your email address where santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ/blog or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

step two: surf around your friends list (or friends’ friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list.

here’s the important part — if you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true. sometimes someone’s trash is another’s treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you won’t use — do it.

you need not spend money on these wishes unless you want to. the point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to be someone else’s holiday elf — to spread the joy. gifts can be made anonymously or not — it’s your call.

there are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. give, and you might receive. and you’ll have the joy of knowing you made someone’s holiday special.

My wishes:

1.  A new dark/goth theme for this blog
2. Hiro Mizushima’s first photobook
3. San-X Nyan Nyan Nyanko or Wanroom stuff
4. Digital photography lessons
5. Amazon or Fully Booked gift certificate
6. Any manga by Junji Ito
7. Extra battery or memory card for my Nikon D80
8. Camera tripod
9. Clothes or accessories for my Yasu (my BJD)
10. Electric sewing machine
