Hello, just testing this once again.

I read some of my previous stuff and it seems as if I used to write much better than I do currently. That's a bummer. Or maybe I just had a lot more time, or maybe just a lot more things to say.

Can't imagine it's been almost 2 and a half years since the last one. Well, my main blog is still vandarkala.i.ph. I want to move back here but it's such a hassle. Moving anything from one place to another, or changing in general for that matter, is never an easy thing.

Emerald Pastures is back on-line but at a slightly different address.

Hello everybody,

I'm in Cebu right now. I had the chance to meet Tessa and Ariane. It just so happened that Floi's, so we all kind of hung out a bit at this club called Vudu.

Anyway, you're all also wondering whatever happened to Emerald Pastures. Unfortunately, some changes occurred with the host so I'm trying to fix it right now so they'll migrate all of the data that I had to whatever platform they're using now. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the URL but I'll keep everyone informed.

Apparently both my blogs have been listed as semi-finalists in the Philippine Blog Awards. I've been without internet connection for so long that I didn't even know. I just learned about it this morning through a friend who actually reads my stuff. First I thought Emerald Pastures was the only one that made it through but when I checked, even Dalvi, which I don't think is a very good blog at all - was also in the list.

There are 142 semi-finalists. I'm not even going to hope to make it to the finals as I'm sure there are many out there that are better blogists.

Sigh...

Here's the new one. Any more comments?? I'm still more inclined to the proposed layout because it carries a lot more substance that the current layout. Let's say there's someone who doesn't know a thing or two about making web pages or blogging and he just so happened to come across this site, he's much more likely to understand the proposed layout over the current one.

Oh, and here's some pictures from my birthday. :)

Please tell me which is better and why. Leave a comment or email me. Take into consideration the overall look, style, colors, fonts, etc. Also, take note of the tag lines and the positioning of the login and password as well as the domain search and free trial button. Finally, also go over the content. You might want to ask yourself the following questions: Does it attract me? Does it entice me? Does it make me read through it and consider? Does it make me interested? More importantly, if I didn't know diddly squat about the internet, would I understand the product that is being offered?

Thanks thanks thanks
