Merrier Christmas
We commemorate the risen Christ this Easter.
That's a tad late for a Christmas greeting, ain't it? But hey, shouldn't we be merrier because we are celebrating the Risen Christ today? So I guess that's, as what my friend usually tells me: apropo!Easter Reflections
Here's a picture I've taken some days ago using my never-dependable cellphone. It's a photo of sprouting leaves from a grown tree.
When I took the photo, I thought that it so depicts my religious life -- I, a person with so feeble a faith, relying mainly and very dependent on 'my tree'. I'm not even a part of the proverbial branch yet (but I so wish I could be soon). I know 'my tree' would really want me to grow and be a branch myself, and from my branch will grow some other branches. I guess I'd have to be patient. I am a work in progress -- still a sprout and prayerfully will one day be a branch, and be a branch for others. Amen.
Too, something is born today: The Kablogs Online.
Here's an online mag from, for and to OFWs/Pinoy expats worldwide!
I'm proud to announce the launching of the maiden issue of The Kablogs Journal created by and dedicated to OFW bloggers around the world.
The journal is a collaborative efforts of various bloggers who contributed their time and brains to the project. (My hat's off to Janelle Vales of The Pink Tarha! She's tireless, who barraged us with sound ideas, and whose -- in her own term -- not-so-OC-ness kept me on my toes! Thank you, Janelle!).
The e-zine is an ongoing exercise. For now, it will publish new materials on a monthly basis (but, with enough materials and sources, we dream of publishing it twice a month). And so we invite you to take part in the future issues of the journal by contributing materials related to the monthly theme.
In the meantime, please feel free to visit our/your Journal and share us your thoughts (and ideas) on how we can further improve it.
Happy Easter, Nebz!
happy easter!
ganda naman ng project nyo.. good luck!
Cool Easter reflections, Nebz... tapos biglang segue sa online magazine - ayos! Hahaha!
Happy Easter to you Nebz and your family. The more you rely on your tree the more you become a branch thus making you strong as well. Continue clinging onto the Lord.
Wow! Breaking Ground talaga ang KaBlogs.
Everyone's a work in progress. Happy Easter!
happy easter pards!

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you Nebz! You're such an inspiration to us all!
Happy Easter, Nebz! And Godspeed for your new magazine! Looks nice!
Happy Easter po!
Hey there!
Para sa akin, mas masaya ang Easter na ito kaysa nung Christmas. Mas naramdaman ko yung saya ng mga tao sa paligid ko, mas okay talaga.
I love that phrase, "I am a work in progress." - it just means a lot, right? It's like even tough you're 78 years, you're still a work in progress. The 'transformation' might be called complete when one dies with tasks in this world is finished.
That is a nice project. My Dad is an OFW, matagal na syang andun, mga more than 15 years na.
even though*
nice post. maligayang pasko ng muling pagkabuhay (;
@isladenebz: haha. dapat pala sya ang ate. LOL

BTW, Amen ako sa sinabi mo about being a branch (whatever! hehehe) sana nga lang mamunga ka hehehe...pero wag naman bungang araw nagkaroon na ko nyan hahaha
