I'm a writer....why not?

"Keep on writing what's in your heart." -ate Kimmy



I really admit that most of the time (always) that I'm lazy and stubborn. Even though I really like to write, thoughts are running and circling in my mind crazily, I still don't have the guts and the energy to sit down have a pen and paper in hand and begin to contemplate and write.

I've had my passion for writing ever since.....I don't know how it started, but it may sound crazy, I always thought what had inspired me to write was the poem/short story writing activities in English and Filipino subjects way back High School, I really don't know. *Hahaha*

I took up Journalism, because I was blinded by the thought my aunt had told me, "You're really good in writing. That's what you do best." and of course I believed that too, being the "EIC" of our school newspaper way back grade school years, which I didn't even experience (I mean it), just the title.I just took part on Press Conferences. *Hahaha.* Although, I've been already taking up Journalism and living what I had thought I'd like, it had always cross my mind that there must be something else that I really want to take up. I didn't join any organizations nor contests because I wasn't confident enough of my superb writing skills. I've always thought that I'm not like my classmates/blockmates that were really gifted with such great skills. I wasn't able to take advantage of it, unless it was mandatory/required to make write-ups, etc.
I'm known to be a techie, I've always had this crazy obsession with gadgets, technology and other stuff related to it, even one of my uncles had expected that I'd took up Computer Engineering. Much to his dismay, I've already graduated with a "Bachelor in Journalism" degree just last May.

Now, I already have my first job, which to tell you frankly isn't related to what I had taken up in College. I got my first salary and my first night out not as a student but as someone representing a company. *what?* *Hahaha* Enough of that nonsense and back to the topic, one of our co-trainee (She has higher position than what me and my other 15 co-trainees) gave us pieces of colored paper (pink and purple) during the last minute of our CSTraining. There, written on mine "Keep on writing what's in your heart.", I knew she wrote that because of what I had shared during a Q and A icebreaker session. She even suggested that I make blogs during my free time.

It all came to my senses now, as I was doing my younger sister's project. Maybe I was really born to be a writer after all. My sister, being  impressed with what I do is enough for me to be awaken from hibernating for a very long time. I may not be as good as my College classmates nor the veteran bloggers here in cyberspace but I know just in my own way, I can write, I can express what I've wanted ever since the world had began. Thanks ate Kimmy. I owe her this, as my very first blog post, I hope she'll be able to read this. (I had blogs before but as I said, I'm very lazy.)

Cheers!!
