What's the best way to blog?

I'm currently working on several blog sites right now. Blogspot, Wordpress, and now Tumblr.. having no background in digital design and web churvah, I'd have to rely on existing templates and themes.
I'm more familiar with Blogspot since I've been using it for a long time and have created and maintained blogs for other people using blogspot.
Wordpress seems to be more popular with other bloggers and I've heard of it's flexibility but I have no idea how that's done. I only keep one because it gets throught the office firewall. Hehehe..
Now I'm experimenting with Tumblr.. I only started today and I can see it's goinf to be fun playing with it. My internet connection at home sucks. 2mbps feels like working on a pentium I compared to the office's whopping 6mbps.
So, how can I make tumblr look a bit like my blogspot account. vdcaluya.blogspot.com with a sidebar for links and widgets? Any tips for an amateur newbie?

I miss going to work... (plastic!) hehe..

I haven't been absent from work for a very long time. I kinda got used to it, actually. So getting sick missing work for 3 days made me feel kinda bad. Was it my fault I got skipped meals? Was it my fault that I drink water directly from the tap? Was it my fault I take cold baths in the middle of the night? Was it my fault that I ate beef stew from questionable origin? Was it? Was it?! I know you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but the last three days was probably not the best way to start off the year. I was vomiting, having LBM, and abdominal pain which hurt so much and made me wish that I could just rip my insides.
I'm fine now. Thanks to the people who visited and donated relief goods like diatabs and such. hehe..
Staying idle at home for 3 days made me realize how busy I've been. It felt great. It wasn't just a physical healing, I was also an emotional, spiritual, holistic recovery. But I still missed work a bit... Just a bit.. Afterall there's a great feeling that comes after you fix a customer's Bluescreen of Death issue and the customer's hearty thanks that comes after you saved all the family photos they've taken last christmas. Aww...
So did I miss going to work? Hmmm... For that reason, maybe just a bit.. Ehehe.

Unlimited Blade Works (Movie) -update!

So I just finished Fate/Stay Night game yesterday. I wouldn't have finished it if hadn't I gone sick and got stuck at home for 2 days. FSN would probably be the first and last clickathon game I would play in my lifetime. I felt great finishing the game and knowing the entire story but I swear, never again!

Anyway, my favorite scenario in the game which is Unlimited Blade Works would be showing this month in Japan cinemas. I'd have to wait for a few more months for a DVD rip and people willing to sub it before I get to watch it though, but it thrills me all the same.

Here's the newest trailer:

HANDBOOK 2010

My first post for 2010! Ah, blogging... It's a tougher job than I thought. I admire those people who can blog everyday inspite of their busy lifestyle. Kudos to you bloggers out there who update their blogs daily!

Anyway, one of my newyear's resolution is to have a more positive outlook in life than I did 2009. So I want to share the following which my boss sent to my email yesterday. Very nice.

HANDBOOK 2010

Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2009.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:
11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don't overdo. Keep your limits.
14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake.
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch..

Life:
32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
39. Your Inner most is always happy.
