The requested theme does not exist

I have been longing to change my wordpress theme for a while now but could not find an inspiring theme to modify. For the longest time I could not decide what I really wanted for a theme… light? dark? two-column? three-column?

Then I chanced upon the dark theme of Vikiworks Studio and I knew I wanted to change from my bright, white theme to a darker one. So I downloaded his Resurrection theme and started to customize it for my blog. But, it was too challenging to customize Resurrection and I really did not want to just use the default images and style the theme had. I also was a bit more impatient now to get a new theme up and loaded.

Compared to other forms of investment like the stock market and foreign exchange, this is actually very cheap. Inputs are as immeasurable as the outputs. Read More…..

“Private Conversations”

Boy Abunda, in one recent episode of “Private Conversations,” interviewed Father Fernando Suarez, the healing priest. It was your typical television interview which was, in a way, entertaining.
