The giver tagged this token as a token of hope.  The Bisdak Bloggers had a quick meet last December 22 in Cagayan de Oro City.  It was suppose to be a big meeting but because of the tragedy that hit the cities of  Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, there were only a few of us that came and most of us were victims of the flood.  Few days before the final announcement, the founder advised that if possible all can attend, and never mind the tokens and the additional food. So, I did just that.  I had no extra to buy tokens that day.  My money was just enough for fare back and forth. But some of us have already prepared their tokens, so they gave out that night.

This lamp is a symbol of hope.  That as long as there is oil in it, the lamp will keep on burning.  Same thing with our blogging career, as long as there are stories to tell, as long as there are DA offers, as long as there is still life — one can still blog.  I have many mommy friends who consider blogging as their career.  A few of them I met personally.   It is Christmas and I wish to give them blogging trophies. But since financial situation is not very favorable, then I will better save up for next year. These hard working mommies really deserved to be awarded.

The lamp I received is green one and I placed it in front of the pc in my office.  At least daily am reminded that no matter how hard trials come to our lives, there is always hope as long as there is life.
