A Cozy New Look

newdesign.jpgHow is the wide wide world of the blogosphere today? Good to hear that we all agree to disagree . While everyone was busy with a new soap opera in the blogosphere, I chose to putter around and fix my blog’s theme. Introducing my blog’s spanking new layout designed by Juan Karlo Licudine of pinoyblogero.com (of course I hired his services). My angel must have guided Karlo’s hands because the header design is awesome. My instructions for the drawing were “we’re a family . I am using my macbook and Luijoe is hovering nearby”. The header depicted the way I wanted it to be and even more. I love this Karlo! He made me virtually sexy. He even captured my husband’s white hair Haha.

I’m really happy with my blog’s cozy new look.

So yes, I’ve just been through a morass of feelings. I bet you did too. The good news is good feelings are here again. Actually good feelings can become a habitual part of our lives. I don’t have to allow others to make myself miserable and I dont have to make myself miserable. A good day does not have to be calm before the storm


Enjoying my good day doesn’t mean I am being disloyal to a loved one who is facing a setback. A good day or a good feeling doesn’t mean we’re in denial. I don’t have to make myself feel guilty because other people are having a bad day. I don’t have to make myself miserable to be like them. They can have their day and their feelings and I can have mine too.

A good feeling is to be enjoyed. I won’t allow others to spoil it with negativity because it can take me out of harmony. Negative energy sabotages and destroys. It brings out a life of its own. Positive energy has its own powerful life. Positive energy heals , conducts love and transforms.

We should all choose positive energy.

    I really LOVE the header. I saw it while you were still puttering around and I was like “awwwwwwwwwww”. How much does Karlo charge? I want one of my own “family” too :)

    Hi Noemi. I love your beautiful personalized header. Even the ‘Subscribe to Feeds’ has a wonderful image of Luijoe. May your sweet angel help sprinkle positive thoughts all around us.

    I like the look of your blog, Noems! Now, please e-mail me privately because my friends here in the US want your recommendations for their website development, ok?

    Love,

    Lorna

    yup, lovely lovely design. love everything about your new look. galing!

    Wow, refreshing new layout indeed. That image of Louijoe holding the RSS button is just cute.

    Kudos to Juan Karlo!

    @dexie- He charges the standard rates for wordpress header/images. It’s a bit over the normal rates because he actually draws it by hand.

    @Rach- as of this time 7:23 am August 17, the feed image, the background image and the header need to be fixed. I was just so excited that I wanted it all up.

    @Lorna- the theme is open source and was customized. It’s the header that is an original artwork.

    @Lady Cess- It’s so cute nga. I showed the sample to the family for them to approve their caricature

    @Jhay- So all ye guys, please subscribe

    beautiful, in its real sense. kudos to Karlo. i as thinking, if i were to follow suit and include all my children, DIL, w granddaughters _ 1 grandson coming, it will fill up the whole header (LOL)

  • http://aboutmyrecovery.com Noemi

    @KongKong622- You are so right. New beginnings of peace, love and harmony.

    @Em Dy- Yes it was about time to change.

    @Sexy Mom- that would be also awesome if you had all your kids and grandkids.

    Hello!

    Been seeing your name on 2 of my fave bloggers sites (Anna & SexyMom) and thought I’d hop over. Napadalaw na ako dito a few times I’m sure.
    Anyway, I was reading and browsing and checked your blogroll, and imagine my surprise to see my name included in it. Wow, thank you, it’s quite an honor.

  • http://www.annalyn.net ajay

    Congrats. Surely..you look young and sexy;)

  • http://www.nancydrewandme.blogspot.com Cathy

    Wow! What a lovely header :) so clean, neat, refreshing and wholesome! Ayan, maging wholesome and lovely and positive palagi. That’s the best way to go you know. Have no room for negativity ‘day. You attract what you generate. Wink. Wink*

    @Cathy- thats why I chose to steer away from negativity. I can’t be sucked into a hole .

    Hi, Noems!

    Again, just darting in and out of blogs and emails. But I just had to leave a comment to say that as with everyone else here, I LOVE your new theme. It’s truly family! And the colors are cool, peaceful, refreshing and happy, happy, happy!

    Catch you again soon!

  • http://misteryosa.com/ Shari

    Very lovely header. Karlo is one heck of a talented illustrator. :)

    I agree – feeling good doesn’t mean you’re betraying (being disloyal) a loved one who doesn’t share the feeling. Enjoy the feeling. :)

  • http://apples-pie.com/mother-of-two/ ApplesH

    Noemi – I love your header. Is it just me or do the illustrations really look like lauren and marielle? :)

  • http://aboutmyrecovery.com Noemi

    @Jane- you are one busy woman. Thanks for dropping bye.

    @Shari- yes he is so talented. Last I heard he has so many orders. wahaha

    @ApplesH- Karlo asked for our family photos so the image is somewhat a representative of the family. It’s just that I am virtually sexy .
