And…here we go. New year, new layout, new philosophy. Yeah. HAPPY 2008, EVERYONE!
The past layout has been six months old and although I love it, I thought it’s time for a change, especially for the new year. So from pink and black, I’ve got blue and white and gray…something similar to the first layout of the domain when I got it four years ago (which reminds me…this domain turned four the other day!). The layout is structured similarly with the past one, so it wasn’t that hard to make, but I did have difficulty with the colors on this one. This is the first layout I made on a Aslan, and the first time I experienced the PC-Mac color thing. I don’t know if it’s just my brother’s PC and the angle of his monitor, or the colors are just really screwed. Now the original look is not how it looks like now. Ah well. It looks fine now, but I will change it tomorrow when I am on Guilo (my office PC). I still have two things to accomplish today, so the layout tweaks wait tomorrow. But if you see any bugs, please let me know. :D
Chasing Daylight is from Erwin Raphael McManus’ book of the same title. I bought it during the last book fair, which I only got to start reading a few days ago. So far, it’s an exciting read, which got me thinking about what I plan to do for the new year. Here’s the blurb:
“There are a few things more powerful than a life lived with passionate clarity,” writes McManus.”Every moent is waiting to be seized by those who are chasing daylight.“
We all have dreams, hopes and aspirations. Why, then, do some of us realize our dreams and advance forward while others watch timidly from a distance and hope for a break? Author Erwin Raphael McManus reveals the direct relationship between passion and initiative.
When we are passionate about God, we can trust our passions.
Chasing Daylight is a call to live a life of blazing urgency. We have but one life. We are given one opportunity to pursue our dreams and fulfill our divine purpose. Every moment counts, and we must engage them with fierceness and zeal. Put an end to passive observation, paralyzed by the need for perfect opportunity, and start seizing the raw, untapped potential of your life with God.
Are you willing to risk failure? Are you ready to get in the game? You may stumble, but you will find yourself falling forward, propelled toward the God-inspired adventure He intends you to live.
So yes, 2008 is the year of chasing daylight. :) Bring it on!
ah I want to have a new layout too. I like it Tina. Here’s to a happy new layout, new look and a new year.
Luv it! :)
Noemi and Joni: Thanks! Happy New Year to the two of you. :)
Hi there! Just dropping by to greet you a happy new year! Wish you all the best and God bless! :D
Btw, love the theme/layout especially the header graphic. It’s so serene and soothing to the eyes. :)
Jaypee: Hey Jaypee! Happy New Year to you too! :) And thanks…so I guess this looks good in non-Mac computers? Hehe. I love the header graphic too. :)
