to everyone using my themes: my photobucket bandwidth will be reset on monday, july 14. all the links should work again by then. please reload your css codes.
Bandwidth is used when digital content is viewed from a link you have posted on another website or in an email (e.g. Multiply, eBay, message boards, etc.). Bandwidth is a measure of the number of bytes passed over time via direct linking. It is calculated by adding up the size of each of your images or videos as they are sent from Photobucket. The 'Monthly Bandwidth' number is the amount of bandwidth you have used within the last month.
Last month, my bandwidth reached 50 gigabytes, because my links were viewed 465, 290 times. Hence the "exceeded bandwidth" signs plastered all over my themes. =(
I am not willing to pay for a Pro account, unless people start paying me for the themes. So, in the meantime, if you want to avoid this, please host the images yourselves and copy and paste the links to the codes I've written.
exceeded my photobucket bandwidth again, so i hosted the images in another site. here are the corrected codes: (please refer to my original posting for the screenshot and other information.) body { background: url( http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/8958/bgtuftedzu8.jpg);

  this is not for the faint of heart. =) bold splashes of color! glittery accents! i'm giving chelo first dibs on this. if she still prefers her current theme, then i'll post the codes for anyone who wants to grab this one. =)
 inspired by the picture on the header. (click on the image for a larger view) this theme has soft colors and muted tones. i'm still thinking whether to add a more elaborate background. anyway, if you like this but would prefer a patterned background, just tell me and i'll give you another set of codes. base theme is AVLACK ------------------------------------------ body { background: #e2d493;

so they revised the rules for posting themes in the group site. authors must now upload all images used for the theme. since i had to pay for most of the images i use on my themes, i am hesitant to share them with the whole world. i might also be breaking terms of use if i do so anyway. so i'll be posting any new themes i make on this site, and you're all free to grab them if you see anything you like. but not in the group site anymore. *sigh* clare boothe luce was right. no good deed goes unpunished. =)
 this is out of my usual style, it's a bit too colorful for my taste, but since it's summer, i thought i should make one that evokes the colors (and the heat) of the season. i already posted this in the group site but i wanted to keep another copy here. besides, i always delete my posted themes from the group site after a week. that way i can prevent exceeding the bandwidth in my image hosting site. base theme is avlack.
here are the codes:

another poet i love is sandra cisneros. her poems are lyrical, saucy, audacious, funny, and introspective (they remind me so much of myself!). i don't know where my mom got her copy and i can't seem to find it in singapore, so i'm posting some of my favorites here so that i can read them whenever i want to. read on and you'll see why -- then tell me which one is your favorite. =)
Extreme Unction
I would've liked to live with one before I turned complete. That one I could have desired like a prohibited sweet.
Wonder now how I would've bellyed his child. Romanced enough
I was to believe I could brave that Ypres, that Verdun.
Husband. Balm for the occasional itch. But I'm witch now. Wife makes me wince. My seamed tongue, my eye blistered, raise stink. And love needs a smudged wink, I think.
Dulzura
Make love to me in Spanish. Not with that other tongue. I want you juntito a mi tender like the language crooned to babies. I want to be that lullabied, mi bien querido, that loved.
I want you inside the mouth of my heart, inside the harp of my wrists, the sweet meat of the mango, in the gold that dangles from my ears and neck.
Say my name. Say it. The way it's supposed to be said. I want to know that I knew you even before I knew you.
Waiting for a Lover
And what if you don't arrive? And what if you do? I'm so afraid I cross my fingers, make a ish spit.
You're new. You can't hurt me yet. I light the candles. Say my prayers. Scent myself with mangoes.
I like the possibility of anything, the little fear I feel when you enter a room. I haven't a clue of the who of you.
And what if you do like me? And what if you do? I can't think. Dress myself in slinky black, my 14-carat hoops and my velvet spikes. Smoke two cigars. I'm doing loopity loops.
Listen --- cars roar by. All night. I'm waiting for the one that stops. All my life. Listen --- Hear that? Yikes.
Night Madness Poem
There's a poem in my head like too many cups of coffee. A pea under twenty eiderdowns. A sadness in my heart like stone. A telephone. And always my night madness that outs like bats across this Texas sky.
I'm the crazy lady they warned you about. The she of rumor talked about --- and worse, who talks.
It's no secret. I'm here. Under a circle of light. The light always on, resisting a glass, an easy cigar. The kind
who reels the twilight sky. Swoop circling. I'm witch woman high on tobacco and holy water.
I'm a woman delighted with her disasters. They give me something to do. A profession of sorts. Keeps me industrious and of serviceable use.
In dreams the origami of the brain opens like a fist a pomegranate, an expensive geometry.
Not true. I haven't a clue why I'm rumpled tonight.
Choose your weapon. Mine -- the telephone, my tongue, Both black as a gun.
I have the magic of words, the power to charm and kill at will. To kill myself or to aim haphazardly. And kill you.
I Don't Like Being in Love
Not like this. Not tonight, a white stone. When you're 36 and seething like sixteen next to the telephone, and you don't know where. And worse --- with whom?
I don't care for this fruit. This Mexican love hidden in the boot. This knotted braid. Birthcord buried beneath the knuckle of the heart.
Cat at the window scratching at the windswept moon scurrying along, scurrying along. Trees rattling. Screen doors banging raspy.
Brain a whorl of wirling fish. Oh, not like this. Not this.
Vino Tinto
Dark wine reminds me of you. The burgundies and cabernets. The tang and thrum and hiss that spiral like Egyptian silk, blood bit from a lip, black smoke from a cigarette.
Nights that swell like cork. This night. A thousand. Under a single lamplight. In public or alone. Very late or very early. When I write my poems.
Something of you still taut still tugs still pulls, a rope that trembled hummed between us. Hummed, love, didn't it. Love, how it hummed.
Loose Woman
They say I'm a beast. And feast on it. When all along I thought that's what a woman was.
They say I'ma bitch. Or witch. I've claimed the same and never winced.
They say I'm a macha, hell on wheels, viva-la-vulva, fire and brimstone, man-hating, devastating, boogey-woman lesbian. Not necessarily but I like the compliment.
the mob arrives with stones and sticks to maim and lame and do me in. All the same, when I open my mouth, they wobble like gin.
Diamonds and pearls tumble from my tongue. Or toads and serpents. Depending on the mood I'm in.
I like the itch I provoke. The rustle of rumor like crinoline.
I am the woman of myth and bullshit. (True. I authored some of it.) I built my little house of ill repute. Brick by bick. Labored, loved and masoned it.
I live like so. Heart as sail, ballast, rudder, bow. Rowdy. Indulgent to excess. My sin and success --- I think of me to gluttony.
By all accounts I am a danger to society. I'm Pancha Villa.
 finally! after two days of trying, i'm able to post this at last. here's my little fairy having some fun in autumn, my favorite season of the year. i'm still waiting for chelo to get inspired to write a story for her. =)
 this is my first time to make a fantasy drawing using the graphire pen. i never realized how much fun it can be! i did this in one hour (the devil was in the details) and i'm so happy with the way it came out. i haven't done any drawings like this since i was in high school. maybe i'm regressing? hahahaha.
