The passion to write

i had surfed my first blog which is undisclosed publicly(thanks to blogger for this option) , i had started this blog back in February of 2009. i could feel the smiles forming on my lips while reading through my post last 2009. Some of it were deeply moving- experiences back in Quiapo, malibay and sampaloc metro manila, some were profoundly funny, some were bluntly ruthless on my iniquities (lolz).

Good thing about it, i've recorded those thoughts, those life-moments which i could vividly remember as i was reading each post per month. 

I gotta confess that i learned a lot from those experiences. it's not only nice to get entertained by those records but it's giving me a wider angle now (@present) on how to further my dealings, my actions, my perceptions and my attitude in dealing LIFE.

I believe i could not enumerate all those lessons here on this post.

but there's one thing i want to share or deliver here.

that is,

- The Passion of Writing

i admit, i wasn't born with a golden spoon in my mouth. i came from the rural area in the Northern Philippines and going to college is quite a real sacrifice for my folks although my university is public(which is actually affordable), i could still sense how hard my parents is struggling to get me to the university. no one trained me to speak english or write english. My native language is ilocano. I can hardly speak tagalog/filipino in college (lolz) but i'm proud that i can speak english and write fluently since high school. 

I'm finding the root cause how i came to acquire that skill, it has all started from books. my aunt is a teacher and a librarian, we have books in the house, and those were my friends (most of the time). i learnt how to appreciate- how authors such as Maupassant, Irving, Allan poe, Shakespeare, Keats, Plato, etc...deliver or convey their emotions and thoughts thru their literary pieces. my writing has improved further when i began

composing poems back in high School of 3rd year and 4th year, too bad i lost my notebook where i kept everything.

Come college, i totally abandoned my gusto and flair in writing and  my english speaking skills has slowly subsided Because i enrolled in engineering, i had to deal with practical app, designs and equations ... somehow, the spark of writing is still within me.

What's in it for me then? about writing and recording these stuff via blog?

The primary reason why im doing it right now is the satisfaction it gives to my heart and mind. That after releasing my thoughts through writing, it's like offloading some of the burdens i have in a day-to-day basis. It may not be applicable to you but i believe it soothes the ever-craving mind of non-stop chaser of knowledge and wisdom. 

Everyone of us is capable to learn. It may be hard at first but be inspired by this fact: as the saying goes "in order for you to walk, you must crawl first".
