Hi! I'm Julienne and welcome to my blog. I'm a freelance web developer and currently maintain websites for the Archdiocese of Davao and the Catholic blog Christ in Me Today. I also make and sell graphic elements.
I started this blog in 2004 when I was still a college student and somehow just never left. Through the years I took up several hobbies like photography, crochet (even made some patterns), and drawing. I also wrote about films, books or anything that captivated me.

NEPHITHYRION
Nephithyrion is a place, a musty wooden chest that opens to starry skies...Actually, it's a random word I thought of after watching a film involving angels. Nephithyrion, other than that it sounds like it came straight from a fantasy book, is a portmanteau of sorts that doesn't really mean anything. Rather, I treat it as my little corner on the web. But out of curiosity, I looked for meaning in similar words:
- First would be one that concerns angels. The Nephilim, believed to be "fallen angels" or "giants", were the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men". This term is mentioned twice in the Hebrew Bible.
- Nepho- is a combining form meaning "cloud," used in the formation of compound words, for example: nephogram, a photo of a cloud.
- The Greek thyris means "window" and thyra means "door." (From what I've read, these words were used in the Greek New Testament.)
So let's just say nephithyrion means "a window or door to the clouds." ... or how about a glimpse of Heaven.
...except that he did not seek glory in danger without a purpose. ~ Tolkien on Faramir
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. ~ Romans 12:2
