But what do I want?

Dear Miss Beng,

I received your email and I am now working on a template for you. It will look kinda grungy but I'll make it colorful with lots of yellows and blues. I'll make the text dark over a light background as you suggested. The lay-out will just be the same-a posts part and a sidebar.

I'll send it to you after I'm done with it, maybe next week, for your evaluation.

That's all for now. Take care. :)

Regards,
Robbie

Hello!

Interesting quote from E.E. It's sometimes a question I ask myself: did she choose to want what I want, or is this what she really wants? Of course an answer to that is: I want what you want so it doesn't matter. Relationships really make people more interesting.

Take love vs compatibility. In the end, I would still choose to have both because one without the other would be incomplete. But then that would make the decision even heavier/harder. Pareho? Whew.

Beng, you were supposed to be doing Sleeping Beauty! :)

Thanks for taking the time to help me, Robbie.
I'll be happy with a simple layout :-) I'm not sure if grungy will work for me, that look might not fit my blog as my entries are usually reflective and sentimental (some are light-hearted din naman).
My present format, white text over dark background, is still OK with me but if your dark over a light background looks nice, maybe I could use it. If not for this blog, my other blog. Looking forward to receiving "it."

Hi Ben, I'm proofreading our next edition of Passion & Purity and I stumbled on these great quotes. More than once I had to pause and consider what EE says and think how it applies to my life.

Love vs. Compatibility? Like you, Ben, I hope I wouldn't have to choose between the two! :-) But in the meantime, God is teaching me how to "sleep." I'll write a longer entry on this next time. Thanks for the interaction, Ben.
