@ Sabina
God!!! truly magnificent design! isn’t it excruciating designing those lively color variations? templates handmade? the vector graphics? did u use “knockout” plugins?
September 10th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Hi Sabrina. I saw you and your sister at the event, but I didn’t get to approach both of you since… Um, let’s say I don’t have the skills in dealing with new people. Anyway, I’ll try to be sociable next time.
Hoping to see you again on the next events. Maybe on PBA ‘08?
