Thinking of You

I remember when you were alive with such hope & promise! The giant awoke... but I can't help thinking it may as well have been in Lilliput, captured and forced to do the bidding of a few self-serving elitists who, though small in number, possessed the means to completely ruin the dream for everyone else ...running the whole country into the ground (or the sea: "Pré-Sal," as it is known). My heart aches for you.

  1. Hi! I am Nerissa, a Filipino living in Italy.
    I just started a website dedicated to the lives of all those living in a country other than the one where they were born. Thru PeopleAbroad.org I intend to increase connections, awareness, and understanding among people.
    Sorry for taking some of your precious time. If you are not interested please stop reading it now and forgive me for my intrusion.
    I would like to ask you to contribute to the website by writing one post with photos and/or videos about any region of the world. Your post will be linked to your personal websites, blogs, Facebook pages, Twitter account, and/or anything else you like, in order to promote your own activity.
    I could also publish some of your posts as a summary and link them to your website where your articles could be read in full length. If possible, I would also like you to write your story (bio - where you live and how you decided to live your life abroad) – example: https://www.peopleabroad.org/nerissa-filipino-living-in-italy/.
    To contribute, it is not necessary to live in a different country from where you were born, but simply to know a bit of the world by having lived, studied, or traveled.
    This website is still under construction, I do not have yet made it available to search engines for indexation. I am just starting and that is why your help is essential.
    All the best,
    Nerissa

Questions and comments are welcomed! While anonymous comments are allowed for those without a blogger account, please leave a link and (or at least) A NAME, so that we know who you are.

Anonymous authors are only good for ransom notes & random quotes (one's difficult to sight, the other is tough to cite).

So, for the productivity of discussions on this site, please leave us your alias, given name [aka secret identity], handle, ID, nickname, nom de plume, or otherwise e-version of your John Hancock. Feel free to make one up, just for us. We'd be honored.

Thanks for playing! :)
