I was at BlogWorld Dagupan City yesterday, July 26, 2010. We at the Luzon Bloggers Society were inducted and fortunately had a wonderful time learning from the experiences of various bloggers in that event. It was held at the Music Warehouse and the place was really packed with a lot of people, most of which were students from various educational institutions and government offices.
I had the chance to hear testimonies of people who became successful in their blogging careers. Most of these guys are very young cyber-entrepreneurs and it's really amazing how they got to be as rich as they are now because of blogging! God must have planned them to be blessed this way... I believe that.
We had Julius Sison, Philip Tiangson, Dilson Decena, Julius Cesar Mamaril, and Richer Finez (how appropriately named) giving testimonials on their blog experiences and expertise. It was really awesome to find out how they started and how they turned a hobby into a money-making opportunity!
But that wasn't the icing on the cake. The best experience there was having Janette C Toral of www.digitalfilipino.com, my e-commerce idol, as the guest of honor, speaker, and lecturer of the conference! It was really a privilege to be there with her and learn all of the fundamentals of earning from home, SEO, social networking and how to make them profitable.
I myself was challenged to turn this past-time into a monetizing experience. I will follow everything I have learned and dare myself to be rich. I mean, what's wrong with trying. I won't back down. I know I have the skills, and I know I have the motivation and determination. All I have to do now is apply the new knowledge I have received through Janette and the team for my own version of success. I'm gonna own it and make it. In other words, I will live it and profit from it.
So, here's to the beginning of a new career! God, be with me!

WHY DO IT IF YOU CAN'T HACK IT?
So here's the thing... A friend of mine got pregnant and she got to be left behind on her own by the guy when he found out about it.
Sad? Yes.
Tragic? Maybe.
Defeated? No!
I really feel for her and I wanted to console her one time. But, to my surprise, she said that she was already feeling better after she prayed. Whoa! That was fast.. To think that this sudden recuperation happened just a few days after the guy left her! But you know, that's what God is.
You see, God is always there whenever you need Him. He's omnipresent, remember? But the best position I believe that He occupies is at the end of our rope. There has been a lot of situations that some people have faced which may be considered as unrecoverable. But they always manage to bounce back. With a little faith, of course.
A little faith goes a long way as long as it's genuine. Faith as small as a grain of mustard could go a long way. Luke 17:6 says that if you do have faith as little as that, you can tell the mulberry tree to be planted in the sea and it may obey you. That's so cool!
Well, never mind the tree. Imagine a mountain. Matthew 17:20 says that having that much faith is enough to command a mountain to move from here to there and the result is that mountain moving at your will! Amazing! Mountains usually represent problems. This scripture really says it all. Having faith as small as a mustard seed can take away problems. That's a relief!
Do not forget though that it has to be genuine faith. If you go praying for rain, don't go out of your house without an umbrella. Otherwise, what's the prayer for in the first place?
When my friend told me that she felt a good sense of relief despite her ordeal when she prayed, it just meant one thing... The distance of a solution to any problem is equally proportional to the distance of your knees to the floor. Think about it!
