not only my personal notebook, my blog threw tantrums too. there's something wrong with template page in blogspot site. the HTML wasn't properly loaded, resulting in gibberish strings printed when trying to open my blog. couldn't fix it either as the IE always hang at the template page.

thank God for firefox, I managed to change the template. but I couldn't restore the most recent green template.. this greyish one is the most recent I could locate in my backup files. but it's ok, at least it's working for now.
