Sundry matters

I want to design my own blog. The available templates are already appealing but I want it my way, not just a rearrangement of the elements. Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance for your emails.

I am recently doing a freelance stint as writer of a business-fashion magazine. I have contributed three articles and I hope all will get published. The pay per article is minimal but I grabbed the opportunity to improve my networking. I am excited to see its copy due for release on the second week of June.

I am very happy for Karen Remo’s growth as a professional. She works as editor of energy magazines in Dubai and she has been to different countries as her paper’s official representative. I asked her to edit one of my works and I learned a lot from her. Her writing style has tremendously improved. She is brevity and substance personified.

I watched X-men last Saturday with Brian and Rose Lyn at Gateway. I am not so happy about the story because I expected a purist film version of the comic book series. Inability to control Jean Grey is too early. Death of Prof. X is too early. Continuity of the story can be a problem for future sequels. I hope there will be more planning or vision like the Harry Potter series or Star Wars so that X-men producers can maximize the twists and turns of the original story.

Next target: Superman!

I highly recommend that you try Mr. Bellini’s, an authentic Italian restaurant in Cubao near the Marikina Shoe Expo or COD area. The ambience does not have the commercial and esthetic touch of other restos but its cuisine is to die for at reasonable prices. The taste from the antipasti, to the pasta, to the desserts, can overwhelm any other Italian resto. Thanks Brian for the treat!
