February - International Friendship Month

Many of us thought that February is solely the month for couples in love, but somewhere back in time, the "International Friendship Month" was founded. Though this was more about diplomacy among countries, but I want to view this in another perspective. Internet users from around the globe became friends through blogging. Isn't it awesome? It is through blogging that I earned tons of friends. In fact, I realized lately that I have more online friends now than the "reality" friends I had when I was still in the Philippines. My gratefulness for the art of blogging is beyond measure. Personally, I started blogging three months after I moved here in USA. What I thought was only a personal journal has turned into worldwide open book of my life. I earned a lot of good friends and sisters in Christ from different countries that I could probably have not met in other way. Some of my followers are really following my post and are looking forward to it regularly. It is through my blog that some of my friends and family members follows my whereabouts here in the foreign world. I could say, blogging kept me from being bored when we were still in Michigan and didn't have job yet. It is fun to see visitors on my blog with different language other than English and Filipino. But whatever they are saying, I believe, it is the common language of friendship. I feel like I traveled around the world. Cheers to the Cyber-Friendship!
