About the Author



Essay writing has been my favorite topic during my elementary and high school years. Writing was my main  outlet of emotions both good and bad, I'd rather write than talk about what I feel. Words are like wild grass, they are everywhere floating in my mind ready to be used.
I write about anything I can write about: lyrics of the music I hear, forwarded quotes from friends, cheer chants during intramurals, random comments I hear during the day, list of crushes , my favorite anime of the moment, etc. I usually keep a diary (for confidential facts such as details of my crushes and emotional outbursts) and a notebook (for the random thoughts, quotes and lyrics I share with my friends).
When I took an Engineering course in college, writing took a back seat. LITERALLY. As writing involves endless words to describe thoughts or ideas like art with no boundaries and limitations, Engineering was for me the exact opposite of it. In the world dominated by Math related subjects (tons of formulas to memorize, computations and the never-ending search for the value of x), the calculator became my best friend. Answers should be precise and direct to the point, else its automatically wrong. Numbers and formulas dominated the spaces in my mind. My used to be favorite topic became a nuisance and for me a waste of time. I hardly attend my English classes and its already feat for me if I manage to attend at least two sessions in a semester for SRA class back in college.
Today, I am in the IT industry where writing codes, monitoring servers and memorizing ip addresses, among others, occupy the majority of my day (the other one is sleeping). Writing is, again, not in list of my TO-DOs. Well I thought it was. With the never ending flow of daily emails that requires replies using English only for fomalities sake and of course bawal magtagalog, kumusta naman kung foreigner ang rereplayan mo? Pano naman un? Words became dominant (again) in my mind. Though it usually involves technical words/terms and more in the professional level, it has given me the one thing I neglected and eventually forgot that I am capable of. Writing. Yep, writing day-to-day email reunited me and my long lost passion.
So now I am starting a blog so I will not forget again.  This blog will be my notebook and will mainly consist of the places I go, food trips or cravings, people in my life and will meet, and other stuff that will catch my interest. My diary is still for private viewing only =). One thing that never changed though, I'd rather write than talk about what I feel. Means this blog will reflect me, as I am, if you still don't know me.
I just have one request, please be kind with your reactions and comments with whatever you will read in this blog. I am not an English major so my English is limited  and my knowledge of sentence construction is as low as the lowest level. Sometimes I'll use Tag-Lish because I usually get drown easily with the all the English stuff and lose the words. So please bear with me. =)

Happy Reading!
PS: Just moved to a new blog site!
