Day 04 — A song that makes you sad The lyrics are beautiful, but I can’t help feeling a tingle of sadness every time I listen to this song. Yup, it’s another one of Olivia’s songs — OLIVIA inspi’ REIRA (TRAPNEST) “Shadow of Love”. There’s no official PV for this song, so just enjoy this clip made by someone.

patience

You know how God tests your patience when you least expect it? God tests my patience via my phone. When I’m up and about, nobody calls/text messages.

new theme, new look

After a few hours of tweaking the code, I’m finally satisfied with how my blog looks…or so I think. I decided to switch to a free theme because I realized I was missing out on all the functions of WordPress with that self-made theme which lasted for a long time already.
