I never thought blogging can give me so much pleasure. From gaining loyal virtual friends (of whom I met a few already) to receiving comments and opinions on my posts that they generously share, to a few perks of being invited to events, receiving gift certificates and freebies, to earning a few amount from exchange links and whatnot.
Yesterday, I got a go signal from my inbox to claim from any Western Union branch the payment for the little online transaction I engaged into, after someone bought exchange links from my blog. After which, I went to the mall and grocery to shop for my baon (and a couple of shirts for office!) to work for the new week. 😀
This beautiful Sunday morning, my housemate-friend knocked on my door to give me this…
Someone from Burbank, California spent USD 10.31 on postage just to send me a copy of his materpiece of which I have a very little contribution…
Call it trivial but for me this one’s amazing. I have never been so humbled with such appreciation…
A US-based Filipino author emailed me few months ago and asked permission if he can use one of my blog photos in his then soon-to-be-published book…who am I to say no?
This was my photo of Quiapo Church I posted on this entry –>My 15-minutes in Quiapo
With my watermarks and proper credits, my photo of Quiapo Church taken by an old-school digicam landed in Mr. Percival Cruz’s book; I am truly honored!
More credits for the contributors…
May Bagwis Ang Pag-Ibig At Iba Pang Kuwento by Percival Campoamor Cruz and Alberto Segismundo Cruz is available also via Amazon.com; here’s the the link.
To Mr. Cruz, thank you so much, Sir! Good luck on the book and More Power!

thanks, dom! 😀
OK din naman si Mr. Cruz, he asked permission to use your photo, gave you due credit and sent you a copy of the book. Class act ‘yan. Baka pag binabasa mo na yung libro at may makita ka pang naka-ipit na perang pambili mo ng DSLR. Just kidding.
you never fail to amuse me with your comments, bert!
natawa talaga ako, wish ko lang mayroon ngang dollars na nakaipit pambili ko ng dslr, haha!
That was really sweet of the author. Now you have to do a book review and share some thoughts. 🙂
wish i could find time, i would really like to read his book of course.
thanks,mich!
Doc Gelo, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more coming! Ang galing!
wow, thanks, sheng.
opportunity just presented itself and i am grateful.
Now you don’t only have it online but printed on a book as well! It’s so thoughtful of the author to actually send you a copy of his work.
thanks, dennis.
