It’s already been eight days since our Former President, Cory Aquino passed away.

I was only a year old when EDSA 1 happened and my memories of her presidency were the numerous brown-outs that taught me to play outside even after the moon shines over my head. I wouldn’t know if her presidency was the best thing that happened to our country — history will be the judge of that. What I’ll miss about her is her (and her husband’s) capability to just draw people closer, effortlessly (in 2 different ways, of course). I remember that high school field trip in Tarlac when I caught myself just staring at Ninoy and Cory’s wedding portrait for a good minute or two.

Charisma is truly a rare gift which I also pray for, myself. Although, if it is The Almighty’s will to bestow it to someone else, I just hope that whoever has it would use it for the good of the many.

Rest in Peace, Mrs. Aquino.

We may only cross paths a few times, but you will always be remembered with a smile.

Rest in peace, Miss Tara Santelices. May you finally have rest in the arms of our Lord.

I find it really strange when writer’s block strikes whenever I can write something and the sudden flow of topics to write about congest my brain at the worst possible time.

A few months back, I was struggling to access my wordpress dashboard so I could write down all the interesting topics in my head. After that domain transfer drama I just had, I seemed to have lost all thoughts completely. I tried to piece them together but the details were lacking and I couldn’t remember how I’ve constructed them back then.

I really wish I could have a recorder/transcriber for brain impulses. Things would be much easier with them.

While tracing back my thoughts for a better entry, I took the liberty of changing the site layout again. WPUnlimited is super nice and flexible with all the customization tools (SEO included) but I just didn’t have the time to improvise a design other than the bare white and violet. With the new Illacrimo theme and flickrRSS plugin plus flickr badge, SBS looks more sleek and organize.

The new design may not drive the writer’s block away but it did bring pleasing aesthetics. As it should, whenever you’re redecorating your home… or on this case, your personal soapbox. =)
