Australia day for a non-Aussie

I am still amused about my experience last Friday when I preached about the celebration of Australia day. It was a strange feeling since I was the only one who is not an Australian citizen.

Anyway, I read an interesting blog entry from a Filipina who celebrated Australia day for the first time. I just found out that this fellow kababayan who writes so well is a daughter of Jimmy Paredes.

She writes
"I've been here less than a year, and I'm not even a citizen yet, and time will tell how much of my life I'll actually be spending here. I still feel very much like an outsider, and I'm not even Australian yet... or am I?"
