Why read RefineMe.org? RefineMe.org is one of the more established Filipina-Christian blogs online; the blog has been up since 2004 (although her archives’ll take you only as far as 2006). Her youthful take on her faithwalk can be very inspiring to many a young Christian, and her choice of words is very easy to understand.

Frequent Topics: Tina treats RefineMe.org like her personal journal, so you can read about how she tries to deal with adapting to the Filipino workforce (with grace). She’s also a writer and techie, so there is a significant number of posts about literature, writing, gadgets, and geekiness in all its forms.
