Two years old...


I couldn't let this very special day pass without posting an entry. Now, what makes this day special? The Ocean of My Being is exactly two years old today. :)

Sometimes, I still cannot believe it's been that long. It feels like it was only yesterday when I started blogging and learning about all these stuff. I thank God for that day, two years ago, when I found Blogger because that day introduced me to the wonderful blog-world where one can easily get lost in. I got lost and officially became a part of the said world and, right now, I don't feel like getting out... well, at least, not yet. :)

Mabuhay ang mga bloggers! (Long live bloggers!)

The FACES of this blog:

The first template I used was, of course, one of the ready-made templates that Blogger had to offer during that time. I remember there were only around 6 or 8 templates to choose from. I got obsessed with improving how my blog looked and making it look more "me" so I tried to find out how I could actually change the colors and add features. I spent a few nights without sleep trying to figure things out and how they worked, mostly through trial and error. There were triumphant moments and frustrating ones. Finally, I was able to "create" something I liked. It was really nothing (I just changed the colors), but I was so proud of it.




After some time, I found out that Blogger actually had added more ready-made templates for bloggers to choose from. I looked at the new templates and instantly fell in love with one of them. The moment I viewed the sample, I thought "this is for me!" I was so happy to find such template so that I changed my template right then and there.




I was happy with my template and I felt it was something especially made for me. And then, one day, I found a blog using the same template. I was a little disappointed, but what could I do? It was, after all, a ready-made template from Blogger. What did I expect, right? So, I decided to just forget about it. Now, at about the same time, Ala mentioned that she was so into making templates that she was willing to design templates for friends or people she actually knew. I asked if she could design something for me. To make the long story short, Ala created my present template. The moment I saw it, I couldn't believe how nice it was. I thought it was the best template I'd ever seen (well, I still do). And, there couldn't possibly be any template more ME. (Again and again, Ala, thank you sooo much!)




That, my friends, is the story of how this blog came to look like this. Hehehe:)
