actually, i am. or it's more like smiling. or grinning like mad. who can guess why?

obvious naman siguro. i present to everyone, buhay oble v1 (more like v1.4 with all the template issues and adjustments i've gone through). this is the product of nearly a week's work of html guesswork, a morning of chatting with a techie (mukhang malilibre nga kita ah... after mo manlibre sa birthday mo), and probably almost a month's worth of ideas, planning, and playing with these ideas in photoshop.

now, of course it isn't an artistic masterpiece of any sort, but at least it works, and it looks even half-decent. the side bar's a bit empty for now, but i'm on for giving my eyes and fingers a little rest before i get to that. a celebratory siesta of sorts.

this blog is ideally viewed in ie (which isn't such a stickler for proper tags and web grammar), but for mozilla users and ie bashers, it should also display properly in firefox, just without the internal scrolling.

credits to me for the idea, photo edits, and initial template work, kent for being a great sport and friend for staying up *past midnight* to dissect my apparently dysfunctional attempts and for polishing the template i made on his advice, photobucket for hosting my images (a quick registration since tinypic.com wasn't working), tabulas for still remaining my blog host (i can't imagine moving away from this at all), and to everyone who still visits or will visit this blog for making me want to upgrade this site at all.

enjoy!
