Well, not really, but it&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve been working hard on and something I&#8217;m really proud of.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m working on with a friend, and I&#8217;ll be announcing it across all my blogs very soon. Hopefully, it&#8217;ll get a lot of support and feedback.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been using WordPress for about, say, 5 years now. I started off with Greymatter, tried b2, and eventually transferred to WordPress when b2 disappeared. I remember trying to learn how to use the WordPress theme system back then (WordPress 1.2, anyone?). It was really simple, those times.</p>
<p>The WordPress theme structure is much more complex but efficient now. The downside is, people who have no HTML experience need to jump over a lot of hurdles to understand the whole system. Good thing there <a href="http://www.wprex.com/">The Best Free WordPress Themes For Download</a> out on the web, where people can easily find a theme to suit their needs.</p>
<p>Diventare currently uses a free WordPress theme, mainly because I have no time to actually create a theme of my own. Maybe someday, I&#8217;ll end up making something for the site.</p>

It&#8217;s a pretty good deal. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m currently downloading the game files and because I have a pretty sucky internet connection, this means I won&#8217;t be able to play online until the game finishes installing. It&#8217;s currently at 35%. I&#8217;m relieved that Steam put the game on sale while my brother&#8217;s out of town, since he seems to hog the bandwidth most of time with all his torrent downloads.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m contemplating getting a <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/vpshosting.html">VPS hosting</a> account so I can host my clients in one server. However, it might make a huge dent on my budget for now, so I guess <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/multipledomainhosting.html">multiple domain hosting</a> is the best choice for now.</p>
<p>However, I really want a VPS hosting account, since most of the sites I build are e-commerce sites and use up a lot of resources.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m sort of hoping that there&#8217;s a demo I can test somewhere, so I can see if the game suits me before I buy. My friends have it, but I&#8217;m not in the mood to come over and try out the game on their computers.</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;m going to have to do a Youtube search.</p>

<p>People have been talking about this show since last year. I really had no intention of seeing it. Call me lazy. But a friend finally convinced me by burning all the episodes on DVD. Instead of looking for <a href="http://dietsthatwork.net/">diets that work</a>, I began watching it a few days ago, and finished watching all the episodes in 2 days.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s actually a pretty good show. I was afraid it would be too cheesy, but it&#8217;s just the right amount of cheese. Some episodes made me somewhat uncomfortable, specifically &#8216;Ballad&#8217;. I had to skip a couple of scenes there because Rachel got too creepy.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to the next season.</p>

<p>I was walking around the mall a couple days ago and I saw that they were selling Guitar Hero 5 for <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-ca&#038;catalog=online&#038;category=Playstation_3&#038;pagenum=1&#038;sort=1">PS3</a>. I&#8217;m really curious since I&#8217;ve only been able to play Guitar Hero 3. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have a PS3, so I&#8217;ll have to wait until my friends with PS3s actually get the game.</p>
<p>Anyway, speaking of gaming. Take a look at <a href="http://youtube.com/user/lexieph">my Left 4 Dead 2</a> gameplay videos. <img src='http://diventare.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Eventually, I found a reliable Linux web host and went through the transfer process. I couldn&#8217;t be happier. I currently have a reseller, although I really would like to try VPS hosting. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have the budget for that yet, or for <a href="http://www.fastweightloss.net/">fast weight loss</a>.</p>
<p>But who knows? Maybe in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve spent the past few hours reading about <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/">HTML5</a>. I was also able to convert my current blog design to HTML5 and CSS3. It’s interesting, and was actually rather fast – but I think I’ll stick with XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 at the moment. I was able to find a fix to make the new HTML5 elements work in IE, but when I tried using CSS3, things started to get messy in IE.</p>
<p>Reading about it was interesting, though. The new elements like <code>&lt;nav&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;time&gt;</code> can make the markup easier to understand &#8211; especially for beginners. It was a little confusing at the beginning, though. I also think the <code>&lt;header&gt;</code> element is a bit unnecessary, especially when used with <code>&lt;hgroup&gt;</code> . Aren&#8217;t all the headings &#8211; h1 to h6 &#8211; already semantic?</p>
<p>I guess the only thing stopping me from using HTML5 and CSS3 is the fact that about 40% of my blog&#8217;s viewers still use IE6 (switch to <a href="http://mozilla.org">Firefox</a> or <a href="http://opera.com/">Opera</a>, people!). I guess it&#8217;s enough that I&#8217;ve learned about it, like reading about <a href="http://www.slimmingpillsreview.com/">best diet pills</a>. Maybe we&#8217;ll be able to use HTML5 and CSS3 in 3-4 years &#8211; but we&#8217;ll probably still hate IE (cross browser compatibility, you are the bane of my &#8211; blogging and professional &#8211; existence). <img src='http://diventare.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I got my first tennis racquet yesterday, a few hours before getting ready for the <a href="http://victoryat25.com">Victory @ 25</a> celebration. Lyndon mentioned seeing a lot of cheap yellow tennis racquets in Toby&#8217;s one afternoon. I&#8217;ve been using Lyndon&#8217;s Wilson K-Factor Six-One Tour racquet (it&#8217;s a Federer signature racquet), and I figured it would be a great opportunity to get my own racquet once and for all.</p>
<p>I spent about thirty minutes choosing racquets, when I finally settled for the <a href="http://www.head.com/tennis/racquets.php?region=eu&amp;tag=nano_titanium_series&amp;id=1847">Head Nano Titanium Conquest</a> (shown above). It&#8217;s lightweight, oversize, and pretty easy to use &#8211; very good for a beginner like me. The yellow made me happy of course, since it&#8217;s my favorite color.</p>
<p>I went to SM Marikina &#8211; again &#8211; with 4th this morning to keep him company while he studies for his Civil Service Exam. I headed over to Chris Sports for a while to look at <a href="http://www.luggagebase.com/">Samsonite luggage</a>  and other racquets and saw the <a href="http://www.head.com/tennis/racquets.php?region=eu&amp;tag=nano_titanium_series&amp;id=1846">Head Nano Titanium Tour</a> racquet.</p>
<p>I had to tell myself, <em>&#8220;Lexie, yes it&#8217;s pretty. It&#8217;s so so so pretty. But you already have a perfectly good racquet at home. You do not need it.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>And because I didn&#8217;t get it, I am a winner.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so pretty, though.</p>
