Punzi's Corner Blog: Just Came from iBlog 3

This day in history from:

Just Came from iBlog 3

It was an ok affair. As the topics for the first day said, this day was for newbies. And my chief complaint is no WiFi so we could not live-blog the event. JJ Disini was blaming it on some computer crash in the University of the Philippines computer registration system that affected internet access. So no one could live-blog the event, except for Noemi Dado microblogging on Twitter.

So Dean Jorge Bocobo and I spent most of the morning talking to each other. And it was so nice to talk to, what I feel like, an old friend. Then I had to go because unlike the pro-bloggers, I have a day job.

Again, congratulations to you, DJB, for winning the Best Socio-Political Blog in the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards, no matter how light you think of it. And see you tomorrow.

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
