Change is essential

The air aftermath of a rainfall never fails to freshen me up. It feels like I've just walked out of a dark tunnel into the sunshine. Sometimes when things starts to turn stale, a change is essential and necessary. After helping Carol to change her second blog template in 2 years, I felt I needed to do something to my own even though I'd just changed it not that long ago.

I don't really enjoy changing a blog template for myself, let alone do it for others. I've only done it for 2 person before. The first was considered a deal. I was paid to do it, and the only other honourable person is Carol. Being one of the better brotherly friends I have who never fails to lend me a helping hand sincerely when I needed, how could I refuse her afterall? I'm always nice to people who deserve it most.

In the case of my template, it seems that everytime I designed a new one I'd feel a sense of great satisfication blowing through me but after sometime it seem that satisfication have evaporated into thin air. Is this human nature?

From the very first template I did I always make a point to design it into something which relates to my character. I choosed a dark shade again because a bright and lighter shade of colors simply doesn't justify my character. I'm not the kind of out-going, cheerful and happy everyday kind of person. I decided I would do without the tagboard for the first time ever as well. When I started blogging it was meant to be a personal diary. It didn't really crossed my mind how many people reads my blog each day. But 3 years later it seem that readership matters to me. I had to deny it and I hate it even more to admit it but readership matters. Having a comments column there with zlich or nearly zlich comments all the time is really pathetic. So, off with the tagboard in the hope the comments traffic will be flooded like a stall selling freshly baked chocolate pies. Sometimes it's good to have dreams.

Someone sent me this sms from the land of smiles this morning :

"............Happy Sunday, do u know how much I miss u?......ummmmm juz count the rain drops outside.....that means how much i miss u.........see? There's no rain outside lol........"

But it was raining heavily outside my window at the point of receiving!
