A
Friend Gave Life to My Blogging
By Apolinario Villalobos
A friend who is also a blogger in her own
right, based in the United States, but a Filipina, gave life to my blogging
when she gave me her smart phone, after finding out that I have no camera which
should be an important tool of a blogger. I told her that most of my blogs need
no photo to support them.
It took me a very long time before finally
deciding to use the cellphone, but only its camera because it has not yet been
“opened” for local use, being registered with a Telcos in America. Most especially,
I have no heart in spending a big amount just for that purpose because I am
very much comfortable with my old basic phone.
Of late, I found out that the cellphone is
indeed a big help in supporting my blogs, especially, events such the recent
Feast of the Black Nazarene of Quiapo. Also, for people with amazing and
inspiring virtues, so that viewers will know how they look like – such as
having a seasoned face due to hard work, stooped body due to almost 24/7 toil
for the much needed cash, and also for strange sounding names of food. But the
said contraption is still a no-no for my random acts of charity.
When the same friend read the blog about my
laptop lacking a key cover for letter “M”, she immediately sent me a message of
her plan to send over a laptop which I respectfully declined because I have no
habit of getting rid of things that are still useful to me.
My friend is Perla Buhay….by the way, for
foreign viewers, “buhay” means “life”. Coincidence?...God works in many
splendid ways. Perla also gives life to her financially “dying” relatives and
friends, also intellectual nutrients to children “starving” for knowledge with
her book donations. So now, viewers know why I keep on praising the All-Knowing
God although, I criticize to high heavens His people on earth who “badly manage”
churches and manipulate the faith of innocent people.
