One more reflection on my recent Philippine trips by boat and by plane - oh, those were quite stressful times then. Yet now I look back at them with a sense of relief and adventure.
I've passed through the test of water, fire and air!:-)
On my way to Cebu where I took my flight back to Singapore, I was on board a small, old boat that sailed from my hometown. With the stormy weather, the boat danced like crazy above the dark sea waters. To add more scare to my bones, the boat had some fire accident and power problem. I was so scared. The 10-hour boat ride wasn't fun. Yet my faithful Rescuer brought me to Cebu safe and sound.
And of course my airport mess was a big deal. But again, I managed to get in the plane, be up in the air, and reach Singapore.
Still, it wasn't an experience I would pick, if I had the choice. But in the end, out from those scary and stressful times, I saw His faithful hands that calmed my fears and took away my frustrations. Oh, what a thrill! How small my faith was.

hi,april! what kind of errors do you get?
when i did my template, i got some errors too. but it was just a matter of playing with html.it was fun, yet quite frustrating sometimes.
what's helpful for me is i try to save first the original html code of the template and make another copy of it where i do my editing (e.g. put your name, links, etc). when i run it and something goes wrong, then i can always go back and refer to the original code.
have fun! don't give up yet.:-) -

hi, aprilicious! hmmmm...yeah, i can feel your frustration over the blog thing..
when i do my editing of a template in my blogspot, i just do it on my blog settings and try to run and see if it works. sometimes i put my tags and other characters at wrong places also. so, of course, it messes up the template. then i just go back and figure out where i messed up and fix it till it shows the design i want.
but yeah, sometimes, some templates just don't work. well, try another template.:-) -

hhmmm.. believe it or not, i've done a couple. hehehe.
i know it's pathetic. i'm not saying i'm an expert but i've pretty much done a lot of layout experiments... this one just frustrates me the most. =(
btw, how's things going for you?
i'm pretty sure life in Singapore rocks. you're close to home yet you're in a very beautiful rich country.
ps - say hi to Donita Rose for me. *i'm a big fan hehehe* -

hi,april! hmmm...well, okay. if it doesn't work, just drop it! maybe next time you'll find one that works.
i am doing well and better. life here in Singapore is quite fast and can be very stressful. i have to be intentional in creating a healthy lifestyle.:-)
singapore is a very small country. yet it's amazing how big and rich their economy is. what a privilege to live here - nice place and close to our home country.:-) -
