It has been a year already and will have “look back” article before I move forward. Meanwhile, enjoy the article below on my World Youth Day trip.

Get Ready to Tumblr!: So Fresh and So Clean, Clean

     Thanks to my friend Gino. I now have a blog in tumblr.com. The objective of tumblr is to make its bloggers write brief and crisp post-it style messages. The layout themes are neat and posts functions are divided into pictures, links, quotes, videos, etc. I love the concept because it brings people back to what blogs are really about which is short but sweet teasers of your life. Blogs weren’t meant to replace live chatting but should entice people to catch up and converse.

Great Good Guy 1: Bishop Javier Echevarria

(Please read 5 Great People in 2 Weeks  post first)

      Yeah, I know the pictures suck because of the dim lighting. The point of the pictures is  that I was able to be on stage with Bishop Javier Echevarria, Prelate of Opus Dei last Thursday afternoon. I was one of the gargoyles at the side. I was even able to hug him after. If you see the last post, I didn’t even have a picture of his SMX get together because I wasn’t expecting to be that close. Someone must be really praying for me to be a good guy.

Article for my Mentors:

    Before I left for Sydney, I needed an article to meet the deadline for the next week.  My problem was that I ran out of article ideas. Thus, I wrote a love letter to my mentors.  Link below.
