The blogger’s prayer
Dear Lord;
I pray for wisdom, to understand each hate blogger;
I pray for love and patience, to ignore their hell blog entries;
Because Lord, if I pray for strength…
I’ll beat the crap out of these bloggers!
Amen.

Another meaning of “uragon” is daring. Hehehe! Bold guts! Nyahaha! It’s our national word in Bicol whose meaning has changed over the years to mean greatness.
