			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://badodong.com" target="_blank">Badodong.Com</a>, the boyfriend&#8217;s blog is being renovated. I finally purchased a subscription to <a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=5392" target="_blank">Elegant Themes</a> and because the boyfriend wants to turn the blog into a photoblog or online folio, the first theme to be put to the test would be ePhoto. I&#8217;ve set it up at his blog, so go on ahead an check it out in its default settings.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve yet to tweak the SEO settings, along with the ads, and I haven&#8217;t changed the blog header/logo because I&#8217;ll need his input for that. Better yet, why don&#8217;t I just ask him to design his own logo, no? <img src='http://verabear.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  There will be more tweaks yet before the blog is fully relaunched.</p>
<p>We could have completed this earlier, but I was having connectivity issues on the laptop, and the boyfriend was busy with SC2 on the PC. Maybe he should have an SC2 background on there. Hmm..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been suspended at Twitter. Ugh. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t spam, I hardly even update there.  I did post a link yesterday but that was only for the post below, and there certainly is nothing malicious about the link is there?  Ohh, maybe it&#8217;s because an ad appears when you click on the ad first, before you get my actual page? Like <a href="http://adf.ly/5iY" target="_blank">this</a>, check it out. <br />
<code><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-5712782284074107";
/* within post text links */
google_ad_slot = "7163329484";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 15;
// --></script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script></code><br />
Anyway&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been cooped up at home since visiting the office on Friday morning. It is just too hot to go outside.  I need to go to the mall though and pick up some stuff:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sunblock &#8211; I need this before we leave for Baler</li>
<li>Lock and Lock for my camera storage.</li>
<li>Maybe get that Crumpler bag I&#8217;ve been eyeing too&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p>I probably should have gone to church with my parents, but I&#8217;m way too lazy for even that. How embarrassing to admit. </p>
<p>I was trying to overhaul my photoblog, but decided to try a real gallery. I didn&#8217;t like how it turned out though so I&#8217;m going back to the original idea of using WP as my platform.  I think I&#8217;ve found a way to make it work the way I want it. Fingers crossed! <img src='http://verabear.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also joined MyLot, even though I don&#8217;t really know what it&#8217;s supposed to be.  I&#8217;m still not done setting up my <code><a href="http://www.mylot.com/verabear/11947">myLot User Profile</a></code> so I haven&#8217;t really explored the rest of the service yet. Anyhoo&#8230; back to photo blog tweaking/gallery hunting&#8230;</p>
<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p>I am no longer suspended. That was quick. I wonder what prompted it though?</p>
<p>Anyhoo&#8230; Bakerella shared this video of an awesome wedding photographer tandem. I want one for my weddding announcement/prenup!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This feels weird. I finally have a new permanent home for my blog and yet&#8230; </p>
<p>I find no mojo. I know there are a lot I want to write about but they&#8217;re just not flowing out of me. I was thinking about reposting all my Project 365 photos but I haven&#8217;t even started editing them yet. I wanted to write about our 9th anniversary yesterday (yes, Alfred and I have been together for 9 years!) but I want that post to be special and it isn&#8217;t something you&#8217;d want to write while you have a nagging headache.</p>
<p>Yes, I&#8217;m having another spell. I already popped a pill and that has helped, but I still feel quite heavy. I have errands to run today and we should have actually left this morning but I postponed it to this afternoon until I feel better. But go we must. This was supposed to have been done yesterday but neither Alfred nor I were up to it. Remember the San Benissa unit improvement? Well we have to claim our keys first before they can start that. To get the keys, we need to pay the move-in fee. That fee can only be paid at their head office. Normally, my brother takes care of things like this but his work schedule is a bit crazy this week so he can&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Before we leave, I&#8217;ll probably just import the posts I made on Blogger during the time that my site was down, or tinker with a new theme that&#8217;ll give my blog a more home-y feel <img src='http://verabear.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ll also be adding a Dreamhost button that certifies verabear.net as GREEN! Yes, learn more about that when you see the button go up on my sidebar.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking too much about my work lately and that has also scared away my muse a bit. There have been times when it&#8217;s still work that floods my mind even when I&#8217;m already home &#8211; and even on my rest days. That&#8217;s not good. I moved to this job because I don&#8217;t want to be that way anymore. I guess I&#8217;m still just feeling very stressed about work. I want to stop thinking about handle time, QOS, and even <a href="http://www.packnboxnow.com/">shipping boxes</a> (except if we&#8217;re talking about my online purchases). </p>
<p>So anyway, I&#8217;ll go make myself busy with other things while I also wait for my muse to come back to me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if this will actually take off or how much time and effort I&#8217;m going to be able to pour into this, but I&#8217;m venturing into doing blog makeovers. My repertoire is limited for now, but I&#8217;ll work on it <img src='http://verabear.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://verabear.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-make-over-biz.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. <img src='http://verabear.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>On an entirely unrelated topic&#8230;</p>
<p>Back in the day (sounds like I&#8217;m refering to a long time ago don&#8217;t it?) I used to stay up in the wee hours of Sunday/Monday morning and watch episodes of the three CSIs (<a href="http://www.i4vegas.com/Tips/">las vegas</a>, miami, and new york). Sometimes I&#8217;d get to watch Chuck too. Since the move to the new team, and thereafter the change to weekdays off, I&#8217;ve been sleeping off most of my rest days. I&#8217;ve also been out shopping a lot instead. Hehe.</p>
<p>I was able to see an episode of CSI Miami the other day though. It must have been old because Speed was still around. Anyway, I used to just pass over DVD sets of CSI  previous seasons when I see those at video stores thinking that CSI episodes are for one-time viewing only. I mean, once you see it, there&#8217;s not much point in watching the episodes again. I&#8217;ve since changed my mind, I think. I wouldn&#8217;t mind getting the boxed sets.</p>
