Re: Inspirational Book Release

I would like to make an announcement regarding the Inspirational Book; there will be a slight delay of one - two weeks on the release of the book, due to some inevitable circumstances.

Rest assured your free copy will be mailed ASAP. If you have not sent your correct email addresses, kindly do so, through the EC dashboard or through my email.

The book is more of a journal type and is soft bound. Please don't expect glossy, colored pages due to financial constraints. What is important are the thoughts within the pages and the fact that it is a collection from all over the world.

Here are the final entries. If there are any questions, feel free to email me. Thanks.


1, "My Jeepney Ride to Church" by Zorlone
2. "Remember When" by Tasha Bud
3. “She Didn’t dance” by Roy dela Cruz
4. " Let's Vault in" - by Roy
5. "The Day We Touched the Sun" by Roy
6. "My Philosophy in a Bottle of Ketchup" -by Jan Geronimo
7. "Self-Confidence" by Holly Jahangiri
8. “Inspiration” by Nicholas Chase
9. “It’s Not Too Late” by Jean Knill
10. Nightmare turns into a dream come true - Jean Knill
11. "Television" by Francis Scudellari
12. "Blessed Martin and the Fridge by Ken Armstrong
13. "A Simple Theory of Communication" by Patricia Rockwell
14."The Weeping Girl" by Ray Gratzner

16. "Inspiration 2" by Jim Murdoch
17. "An Angel in Each One of Us" by Angel Cuala

25. "The Boy in the Window" by Brady Frost
26. "The Day My Students Taught Me a Lesson" by Gerson Garcia
27. " It's Just Me" by Richard Ryan R. Mergal

30. "How I Survived Raising My Son" by Jena Isle

This is the final list for the book. Yehey!!!





UPDATES: ( September 3, 2009)

This anthology is officially called a journal and not a book, as it has been registered as such with its ISSN . This would be in keeping with its yearly publication.

But whatever term applies whether it's a book or a journal - the contents are still the same for me and it will always be our first Inspirational Book for year 2009.

All systems are on the go, now!

    Hi Mon,

    oo nga , nabutas ang bulsa. If I were rich, it would have been glossy colored pages. But as they say, make the best of what you have.

    Thanks, I wish I would and would still have some goodies for all of you guys.

    Nevertheless, the only objective I had previously was just to see these wonderful stories in print.
