A Passion for Writing

When I was in gradeschool at St. Scholastica's College, Manila. I wanted to express myself into writing. However, I have a problem in my English grammar. My grades then in ELA or English Language Arts are in the Most Satisfactory way, most of the time and my status in school is on the break of not to have a diploma there. Fortunately, my parents forced me to have an English tutor. In my first lesson review on the topic of the suffix - ed. I learned in the pronunciation between the difference of this suffix. This was the only problem at that time, so, I said to my tutor, thank you and goodbye. I wanted to study on my own without any tutoring.

When I was in Grade 6, changed my life completely because I had an inspiration that opened doors for me. I meet so many friends and acquaintances. Friends support me morally on my other talents like playing the piano and singing especially I am with the Glee Club. Music is my first love. Then, I began to composed songs in a poetic theme. I composed songs in Filipino language. In that age, its all theoretically speaking until I reached Grade 7, thus, I graduated successfully in gradeschool at my alma mater.

Highschool was a different story. There are a lot of events that took place. Enhancing more on the Filipino language grammar and still struggling for my English grammar. Because of our Filipino teacher at the same school, she prioritized discipline with her colleague in the Student Affairs Office. In this batch, we are the notorious ones. They really instilled on us the kind of discipline that is best for us.

I continue composing songs in Filipino and try to write in English. It is not yet time. I believe that timing is everything and that more experience is need. I need to have more heart into my passion. So, I continue my highschool life and my music, be in the Glee Club and joined our Blue Flame, our school newspaper.

On my 3rd year going to 4th year, I met my first boyfriend. As in my previous blog, he passed away 10 years ago. But, I tried to be friends with him. It was my first time to in a relationship and I do not know what to do. Besides, its highschool. Anyway, I tried writing then, but, nothing.
Fortunately, I graduated in highschool and with my barkadas. Missing my friends so much.

College was a rough time. I almost do not wish to graduate. Broke up with my first (late) boyfriend during my 18th birthday. Had a boyfriend on my 19th one and lasted for 10 years, then, broke up because he has to marry this girl, whom he got her pregnant (again -- 3rd girl). Sorry, I am just human. I know stupidity of the heart. Anyway, I have my first degree in college, Commerce . Worked hard that I thought I could just have a job and obtaining a position as a Regional Sales and Marketing in Luzon. Had so many relationships afterwards.

Went back to my first love in music and studied music education, where else but in St. Scholastica's College, Manila. And blogging came into my life. Yes, practice makes perfect. I tried to write everyday. I said tried. The technology of internet at that time is still in the infancy rate. Suddenly, I traumatic experience happened to me. Please, I am not yet ready to expose myself freely in this topic. Bare with me. But, I took it positively and focus to finished my second degree. In my thesis, I wrote an original musical play and staged it as far of it. This play saved my life and I discovered that I can be a writer, composer and director. Aside from being a voice performer. I am happy to graduate in my music education while, I am teaching and passing the board exams for teacher at that time.

I never realized that by doing this, my health is trying to balance my body. From the time that I could remember, maybe while I'm working back then. I tried not to notice my health. Engrossed of what I am doing and being a workaholic. Anyway, at the moment, health will be the priority and besides I am not getting any younger.

Blogging again is a start. I believe that there is a purpose in life. Beginning each day with a smile and making things positive towards life into writing my movie review blog and stop for awhile in writing poetries. I still have so many strings of work to be done like being a highschool mapeh teacher, practicing my piano and singing. Yes, I cook Filipino and Italian cuisines. Before I forget, build a relationship with my boyfriend Raffy. To my friends, miss you all. Hope to see you soon. Lets just keep in touch.

I do hope that you enjoy reading what I have shared almost everyday of my life and learned something from it. Dreams should make it into reality not nightmares. My mentor mentioned this to me, "that the universe listens to your thoughts either it is positive or negative and the more in what you are speaking, therefore, try to have positive and happy thoughts." Thank you so much to the people whom they touched my life.

Enjoy reading and life.
