A little makeover for a good cause
Am about to embark on a project I feel I might have a calling for. A non-profit organization to expose kids to global happenings. A stepping stone to those kids who might not be able to afford a healthy meal or a good education, but have the drive to learn and break out of the norm. I don’t want to speak too early, neither do I want to link it with this personal blog. Anyone interested knows where to find me!
Why bother to announce when I don’t plan to link it here?
A public announcement does make one more accountable, doesn’t it? Once put in writing, I have given my word. To myself. This will help me take that extra mile and come back to haunt me when I am lazing around. I very well know it’s going to be a very slow process to get there. With my first priority being my 2 young kids, family and the business that brings food to the table. But there is never a perfect time to give back to society. We all do in some form or the other. Just raising our kids to be a good citizen in itself is giving back. I want to do a little more than that. Giving at least 2 hours a week, on a consistent basis for this sounds very doable at this point.
The advertisement chillar made here will apply towards this non-profit project. I know this won’t even suffice to buy me a decent meal in the bay area, let alone execute this project. Unless I see an unfathomable surge of 1000 fold more hits 
But this could very well be the first drop in the ocean. A start. It’s well worth that couple of hours it took me to tweak that old 2 column template to a 3-column one to make space for advertisements.
While I was at it, I also did a little tweaking on couple of other templates. Do tell me know if you’ll like the other templates better..
May I also add that I might have yet another announcement coming very soon! Go ahead, guess if you will.
For now, leaving you with a link to Chak de India’s title song, that best translates my overwhelming emotion and energy at this moment..

Too many thoughts running thru my mind esp after reading a statement like “I might have yet another announcement” what do you mean by “might have”!!!
Moving? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No more guessing, this is not fun! hmph!
As for your other question – I like the first one – looks very chic! But I like the cartoons on the second too – adds a “homely touch”
Good work on both!
And good luck to you on ur new project – let me knw where I can pitch in!

aaargh? Why do you leave us dangling like this? WHY? Write another post with the announcement and NOW. I like both templates. The first one is chic and I like the colors, but I like cartoon on the second. Maybe integrate both? And good luck on the project! Let me know if I can be of help!

Thankyou all for the wishes and the suggestions. Ya’ll prefer the chic theme with the family cartoon embedded. Which means I should get creative now? Thank God for ~nm’s offer, lest I would have gone into hiding in the name of creativity
As for the announcement: Sorry people I did not mean to leave you’ll dangling like this. Will do soon, I promise. For now, I’ll ease it a little bit by saying – No, am not having another baby!
[Reply]
Your company going public?

Huh?? I thought I left a comment here…Anyway.. I love both the templates..and like Dottie said.. why don’t you try to mix them both.. how? I dunno!!!
And I would love to hear about the cause!!
