Black Midnight

The new look of the site has been implemented, as you can see.

Any comments and suggestions?  I have limited css and php knowhow, but I’ll do my best.

Black is the New Black

Taking the cue from Google’s Blackle, I am in the process of changing the site’s color scheme to black.  I have asked my webmaster brother Aki to help me with the new look.

The idea is that black uses less to no energy when it is projected into the screen, thereby saving electricity.

Cool Way to Help Mother Earth

Refuse plastic bags!  — That’s what Ms. Cecile said in her latest entry at Chuvaness about the looming doom that Global Warming is bringing to us.  We are seeing the effects of it right now.  The danger of a drought is all over the news. 

For the sake of the environment and aesthetics, I hope furoshiki as bags become hot here.

According to http://www.jun-gifts.com/, the furoshiki is a piece of cloth that japanese people used to carry clothes, toiletries, and just about anything (later on).  I saw an Arirang segment on GemTV about the revival of furoshiki in Japan today.  In this segment, a woman folded and tied the furoshiki into a makeshift basket for the fruits she purchased at a grocery store.

Right now, I’m using this bag to carry stuff I buy.  I plan to buy more of this to give out.

It’s not the best looking thing in the world, but it does the job.  It costs 100Php only, so it’s super replaceable.

Everyone should do their part to help our environment.

Update:

I found this guide to furoshiki folding from neosamurai.

Maybe I’ll ask my japanese friend to bring furoshiki cloth for me when he swings by Manila.
