It’s one of those nights that my mind is just about somewhere and I need some focus. In order to do this, I spent the night doing something that I like to do best when I am feeling this way—- Porting Wordpress themes into the Blogsome module.
Tonight, I have decided to port Quick Press Wordpress Theme. I have been eyeing it for sometime now and had almost decided to use it for my own site, if not only for the reason that I felt that it’s main style direction is similar to one of those that I have already use before. But I like it a lot. It has all the simplicity that I always crave for and the neatness on its façade, making reading all the more beneficial to the blog reader.
I liked the way its fonts protrude from the ultra-white background; so serene and so clear to the eyes, like leafing thru a favorite magazine I must say. The boxed image on the right upper portion catches the eye like a fresh sunshine on a happy morning. And you bet it could be also useful for a beneficial Google Adsense spot, as the blogger wish or not wish to. Bottles in crisp colors—- the particular picture is just wondrous, like an orange burst. Of course, you could opt to change that if you desire to.
The header is sprayed with a generous hue of blue, just the kind of depth and tint that I looked for in the color blue. Perhaps, it’s not a coincidence that I have a great interest in Quick Press for blue is my most favorite color. Perhaps, now you’d understand why most of the designs I used on my site has a heavy sprinkling of blue in it, blue headers, blue pictures or blue fonts.
Blue as a color they say, is the masculine color. To be male and chap, one must wear something blue and love the color. Guys shouldn’t say “pink” or “puschia” when asked what color does he prefer the most or else he’d be seen with a doubting eye. He should say “blue”.
That’s how it all began, why “blue” had become the color of choice for me. It started from a question, you know, those fancy autographs that were so in trend so many years ago. When I was a very young adolescent in elementary school, a very beautiful schoolmate one day approached me and requested me to have an entry in her autograph book. I was a relatively shy lad at that time that I never knew what to say as I blushed so clearly upon being approached by a very beautiful schoolmate. She was from the other section in the sixth grade but I had always pondered how beautiful she was every time I caught her passing. I often thought then that her looks was so neat and lively that she didn’t belong in a public school like where I was then.
There was a favorite fruit question in that fancy-looking autograph book and I answered thereat “Banana”. I was so conscious and uncomfortable at that moment for she might think of me as an ape. Then there was the favorite “actors/actresses” question and to be cool and swell about it, I answered “Robe Lowe and Phoboe Cates”, and that’s to be hollywoodish on that level. My favorite gemstone was “Ruby” even though I haven’t had any. That I remember too well. I think I remember those very particular moment so well now for the main reason that I was so feeling very conscious and extremely blushing to be near a very beautiful schoolmate and that kind of circumstance didn’t happen so often in the past. And what about love? Huhmmmn, I try to remember now…I think I answered that “Love is blind”, or what else can I say at that time.
And so there came the part where I had to answer the “favorite color” query and frankly speaking, I never had any at that time. So I thought for some seconds afterwhich I decided just to write “blue”; just to get on with it. And from that day on, I promised myself to love the color “blue”, to have blue shirts and blue sandals, and blue shoes, and blue shorts, blue hats, blue ribbons, blue notebooks and now that I am fully grown up, blue website designs. Or else, I’d be a liar.
