Library and comments - some updates

Hello everyone :)

how is life? It's Friday!! Yay! I guess if I'm looking forward to the week-end so much, I don't enjoy my job as I should right? LOL :)

Anyway, no plans for the week-end. I wanted to hang out with my friends, but nobody is available :( However, we have a friend whose birthday is on the 26th, so I guess we'll catch up at that moment.

I went to the library last Tuesday... I was a bit disappointed. The romance section hasn't grown that much. Sure, I could find some new books it didn't have before, but still not that great. Also, they stopped "hardening" the covers of the paperbacks and tradesize paperbacks. Now they just protect the books with plastic :( The good news however is that all the books I wanted it (and check on the catalogue before going) were there. So I got Once in Every Life by Kristin Hannah, a couple of Barbara Michaels, 1 Erin McCarthy vampire series...

By the way, have any of you experiencing trouble with your comments and gmail? I mean, usually, when someone comments on my blog or BT, I get an email sent to my gmail address. However, since yesterday, it doesn't seem like the feature is working. This morning, I tried adding my hotmail address and I got email to the hotmail one, but not gmail. So I'm just wondering if anyone has been experiencing the same problem?

*EDIT: They were all in my spam box!! Why were they there when every other day, they are in my inbox, I have no idea!! Stupid gmail sometimes. Speaking of spam box, anyone has received Maria V. Snyder's newsletter recently (it happened once that it went directly to my spam box @!^&%$@). It's been a while since I got one.

By the way, reading-wise, I've been doing really good... 1 book/night... except for yesterday night where I just crashed and slept... LOL, I guess I've been reading too much instead of sleeping :) Later today, I'm going to cut my hair... must do it. It's long - well at least, for me... I'm cutting it this week to see if I like it or not... if I don't like it, I'll have time to go get a second haircut before Holly's wedding :P speaking of wedding, Ames and I finally chose a hotel to stay at in Las Vegas: Luxor. I'm getting all excited. We have everything booked - plane tickets, hotels in Las Vegas and Laughlin, tickets for "O" and etc. All that's missing is car rental... So I think I'm going to start a list of what I need to bring for the trip this week-end.

Great news!!

Okay, first of all... so how does it look? I think that's it for now for the template/layout. I actually had to start over again, because I upgraded the template to layout with the new blogger... but it was okay, cos turns out the code I took last time was for the layout. Confused? Then just remember: if you still see "template" in your dashbort instead of "layout" then just upgrade it... Go to template and then, Customize template tab... and it'll ask you right away if you want to upgrade or not. It's way easier to make a new template :P So again, if anything is odd or not working properly, please let me know :)

What else is new... Next week is the Chinese New Year. This year it's on February 7th. I'm kind of looking forward to it... mostly for the good food... although we'll probably not be doing much. Anyway, at least, not me since I'm going to be working. My dad has taken Thursday and Friday off... Lucky him.

Finally... LOL, I'm sooo excited about it, I don't know how to say it... It's been official since last week... Ames and I are going to Holly's wedding in March!!!!!!! Isn't that cool?!?!? Ames and I have been discussing it for a while... I finally got the days off and bought my plane tickets two weeks ago. Ames bought hers last week, so that makes it official :) We're going to be flying in Las Vegas where we'll stay a night and visit. Then, the next day, we'll drive down to Laughlin where Holly is holding the wedding. After the wedding, we'll go to Los Angeles with Rowena and Daphne and we'll be catching our flight home from there. I'm like sooo excited. Question though for those who went to Las Vegas. Ames and I want to go see a show. Any suggestion? I'm leaning towards "O" by Cirque du Soleil, but I was wondering if you guys had any recommendation?

Anyway, you will definitively be hearing about our trip again LOL :)

Change of look...

So as you can see, I got tired of my old layout and found this one :D It's still is not perfect :( but I'm tired for now and it does look decent/presentable.

If you find anything odd or not working or it got changed when I chanted the layout, please let me know. For those who are good with codes and layout, I have a few questions...

1) I'd like for my archives to be like the ones at Ames and Book Binge blogs. With the little arrows and you can select the month and then the posts will appear when you click on the little arrow. I have the code I think, but do I have to add something to it? because when I simply copy paste, it doesn't work.

2) I'd like for my sidebar to be continuous ^_^; right now, it's cut into some sections... it's not really important though... I can probably figure it out.

3) I'd like that when you click on the title of the post, you get the post only... and same thing with the banner... I don't know if I'm explaining it well...

so if you can help me, I'd be very grateful :)
