Yun na yun?

Amazing.

I didn't really realize it until I checked the date. And even after I did, I just had to make sure.

Akalain mo yun... 30 days na pala akong nagbo-blog? It's been a month now since my very first blog in response to the challenge of the one and only blueberry010!

To be honest, I had my doubts about being able to do a full thirty days. In fact, I actually started late and even missed my very second day! Still, thanks to the graciousness encouragement and non-legalism of my blog-mate-friend-challenger I found the strength and fortitude to plod on.

Truth be told, there would be days when I would wrack my brain as to what to blog on. Nakaka-ngarag din pala kapag alam mong may maayos na kausap na kahit tahimik lang e inaantay ang bahagi mo sa usapan ninyo. Of course, there was never any pressure. But, fragnabbit! , when I check my Inbox...she'll have her blog for the day in and that just drove me nuts! I'd be like Homer Simpson and go, "D-oh!"

But then again, there'd be days when I would be "in the zone", y'know? I'd do like 2 or even three blogs in a day. Of course, some of those blogs wouldn't really count as blogs, like the summary I did for a longer blog. But still, during those days I'd fell like, "Ha-HA! Am I bloggin' or what?"

There were actually days when I thought Yang had missed a few days. She actually did miss one day. but then I didn't see any blogs in my Inbox for two days or so. So, I thought I'd pay back her graciousness by not asking her about it!

One day, however, my curiosity got the better of me and I finally asked her. "Been missing a few blogs, huh?"

"Nope," she said. "They're all there. I just didn't have them show up in the Inbox..."

"She can do that?", I thought.

"There's a box you can click...," she said, reading my thoughts.

Kamote. And just when I thought I was getting ahead...

So, anyways, I soon found myself getting more and more into the groove of blogging. And the amazing thing is, it soon became second nature.

Looking over the blogs I'd written I realize I have covered a wide gamut of topics- from thoughts on church growth and what it means to be a pastor to Mrs. Gary V's time with ABSCBN and my wife's surprising love for our dog.

From my Homiletics class to the new church I'm now pastoring to the rats and cockroaches that share my office...and the words of wisdom that I have gleaned along the way.

>Whew!<

And, lo and behold... I'm done. Finished.

Pass your peppers! Ma'am... mey I go awt?
