I am very proud to promote this Awards recognizing Filipino Professional Bloggers to be acknowledged and identified as the finest blogs in the country.
This is truly an exciting to anticipate.....those interested bloggers to volunteer and sponsor,please click this site Kutitots for more details and definite infos.

BLOGGERS PRAYER

Just right after I posted my gratitude for winning the Filipino Blog Awards,I had found this Bloggers Prayer from a blog of a Priest..
As I browse down and read the whole content,I felt something force internally ...it's like a transformation within.Without any second thought, I asked authorization to repost the Prayer using my blog account...but he wasn't permitted me yet,praying that he won't kill me..so blog hoppers read and please try to internalize this heartwarming supplications for us bloggers.


So compassionate, so faithful, so loving You are Our Father.

We ask You to increase our faith and our love for You that we may use blogging as an instrument to fulfill Your purposes. May we become bloggers of truth and promoters of peace.

Help us to be steadfast in our Christian commitment that visitors may find in our blogs a source of encouragement and inspiration. Give us strength to proclaim Your word, that we may play our part in breaking down the walls of hostility in the world and use our blogs to strengthen the bonds of friendship, solidarity and love.

Make our hearts meek and humble
that we may treat our readers as friends, not as unique hits,
that we may strive to change ourselves for the better more often than we pimp our site templates,
that we may find more time to ease the pain of someone in our own home than to reply to comments left by strangers,
that we may interact with our next door neighbors as often as we chat with our blogrolled friends,
that we may be more concerned about helping the less privileged than about the number of subscribers to our RSS feeds.

Deliver us, Father, from spams and viruses, from pride and selfishness, and from the temptation to replicate images without permission and copy ideas without crediting the original authors.

May we always be united as a network of bloggers and friends working together in Your name. May our blogs lead us closer to You.

We ask all these through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

I WON THE FILIPINO BLOG OF THE WEEK

This very especial design was made by Kuya Rolly...a person behind my winning.


As a humble blogger...I never expect nor thinking of receiving any Blog Awards since I don't have the gift in writing and all my ideas here were merely poor comparing to those who are what we so called Professional Bloggers.
I would like to extend my most profound gratitude to Talksmart for the nomination he made .For several weeks the competition was very tough and the competitors we're also great bloggers.
My humble attention was ecstatically surprised,when Talksmart informed me that I was nominated...At first, I was landed to 4th place and the following week 2nd place and at last A Winner and A Hall of Fame.
Glory to God in the Highest is the only thing I can say for now....of course, I would like to acknowledge the Bisdakplanet for their kind supports thru out the voting and to those people who visited my blog and cast their votes...most specially to Kuya Rolly for the 24 hours votes and with his convincing power,persuading the Bisdak community to give their support for the remaining week.

...MY AWARDS...

MY FIRST EVER BLOG

Posted at www.freewebs.com/ericsblog last Friday, Sep 8, 2006

Honestly, I dont have any idea whats blog is all about.Before blogging has come to existence..I already had my own website which I created for three years...gee...imagine three years.
There was no internet before in my younger years..there might have, but it was only intended for aristocratic homo sapiensUntil , I read several sites and messages about blog so I decided to post one. Got an idea now,Web logs" now called "blogs" are personal or group journals published on the Web. Blogs are a great way to communicate your opinions, comment on things going on in your life, keep your visitors up to date on what you are up to, or talk about other issues of interest to your users.
In addition, blogs allow your users to comment and discuss what you write, all on your current site! Plus, as a blog user, you can comment on other blogs as well! Don't forget to add your profile.In other words, its a substitute for the traditional one which is Diary.Honestly, I dont have any idea whats blog is all about.
Eventually, I already made one just a couple of months now but I thought of creating a new one and transferred them here. Next time, I will post a new one.I am quite exhausted due to my insomia.
