i have been trying for sooooooooo veeeeeeeeeeeeery loooooooooooong now to update my blog with a new template but unfortunately i always get this annoying bx error code:

We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request. When reporting this error to Blogger Support or on the Blogger Help Group, please:

Describe what you were doing when you got this error. Provide the following error code and additional information.

bX-d8g02x

Additional information

blogID: ********
host: www.blogger.com
uri: /html

This information will help us to track down your specific problem and fix it! We apologize for the inconvenience.


apparently, it is not easy to report to blogger even though millions of subscribers encounter the same problem. the only thing you can do is post your problem on their help group. yun lang! and you will wait if someone or a subscriber like yourself can help you. you cannot directly contact anybody from blogger. doesnt that suck?!? and if you visit their help group, particularly in the "something is broken" group, you will find a whole bunch of people having different kinds of bx error code problems. and blogger doesnt even say anything if theyre doin something about it or not. Whatever happened to: "This information will help us to track down your specific problem and fix it! We apologize for the inconvenience" huh???

this is also the reason why i lost all the things i customized in my blog. i was able to save my old template, ya... but! all the things inside the widgets are gone! that means i lost my blog links, web links, videos, pix.... everything! so now i have to just stick with my old template until blogger does something about it because the only things that you can retain when this kinda problem happens are your blog entries. thankfully... but that isnt good enough. i know that this is a free blogging site, but i hope blogger, or google for that matter, will take extra effort in helping their subscribers since if not also for us, they will not have been as popular as they are today.

Prayers and Blood Donation for Francis Magalona

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) received information earlier today, August 13, that rapper-songwriter Francis Magalona has been diagnosed with leukemia and is currently in need of blood donors.

Pupil band manager and Francis's good friend Day Cabuhat told PEP in a phone interview that any blood type and platelets will be accepted.

"Donations may be made at the lower ground level of The Medical City in the name of Francis Magalona," relayed Day. The Medical City is located along Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City.

Friends and relatives organized a blood donation drive to help the popular singer's cause. They're also asking friends from the media to spread the word regarding Francis's condition to encourage people to turn up and donate blood.

MASTER RAPPER. The son of local matinee idol Pancho Magalona and actress Tita Duran, Francis created his own mark in the entertainment industry as a rapper-performer when he released his debut album, Yo! back in 1990. The said record spawned the massive nationalistic rap hit song "Mga Kababayan," which in effect introduced Pinoy style rap music in the mainstream.

The ‘90s band explosion failed to deter Francis's popularity and significance in the music scene as proven by the number of hit albums and good singles he churned out since Yo! He even collaborated with other artists and most of the time experimented with various sounds and genres so as not to remain stale before the listening public.

Some of his memorable songs include "Mga Praning," "Meron Akong Ano," "Man From Manila," "Cold Summer Nights," "Bahay Yugyugan," "Ito ang Gusto Ko," "Girl Be Mine," and "Kaleidoscope World."

Aside from singing and writing songs, Francis also plunged into hosting. He served first as a VJ for both MTV Philippines and Channel V before joining the country's longest running noontime show Eat Bulaga! as one of the regulars.

Francis was also tapped as one of the judges, along with music maestro Ryan Cayabyab and Pilita Corrales, of Philippine Idol's maiden season in 2006 aired on ABC-5.

He also ventured into photography and music video directing, megging videos for artists such as Sponge Cola, Join the Club, Gloc 9, Shamrock, Join The Club, Pikaso, Death Threat, and Pupil.

Francis is married to Pia Arroyo and their union is blessed with eight children: Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Isabella, Elmo, Arkin, Clara and young actress Maxene Magalona.
