Oh my God, I can't believe it, I definitely passed the entrance Examination. I'm not really focused on it, because I want to stay in our place for very private matters, that's why I just take the exam lightly. But ,maybe this is my destiny, the day were on a Boy Scout matters, one of my friends approach me and handed me a paper. To my surprise its the MAAP results, or as they often call it, the 2013 Class Of applicants, oh yes I truly passed the preliminary Test.

And until now I'm still on a cloud Nine, haha. We are four From our School who take the Exam but unfortunately only three of us make it. That's me, Bientot, Mr. Bryan Tunguia, and Mr. Gwenathan Antheo Lorca. Yes we are of those bruty types, if you have come to see us three walking in the lane you would probably said that we, three can block the sun from shining(OA), yes but that's true, we are all three possesses the height requirements and even ,yeah, were tall indeed.

But the unhappy part of the shimmering news is that we three need to go to Cebu to have our last Examination there, that will cost much, OMG. And the other sad part is our Christmas party(tentative) is set on December 19, and only I of the the three is scheduled on December 21, and the other two is on 22, which means I'll miss my party just to go there because the over-all trip takes days, and money.

But all in all that is indeed a very good news, even though it never crossed my mind to become a seafarer that is still okay, maybe that the career set for me.

Life is indeed surprising, who could think that I will be ending up in this kind of endeavor, but who knows you may also be astound of the road you will later take on your life. But as the old saying goes "Nasa Diyos and awa, nas tao ang gawa".

Have a nice day everyone.

The Scribbler's scrib

When I was a child I never dream of becoming a writer, it never crossed my mind. I am a kid who would rather spend a day playing in sand that to read a single kiddie poem.But things do change, as just they say nothing is permanent.

My enthusiasm of becoming a writer starts when I am a grade one student. If you can still recall in grade school days there are lots of stuff written on the wall of every classroom. Those times I can't even read straightly, but I try to understand what written their on the wall. As the days passed by, and gradually years, I learned that those stuffs written on the wall of every classroom were saying or if not a quotes from a respected personality. For me ,that was the firm building block of my love for writing. Reading had been my hobby since then, but we don't much reading materials in our home so I settle myself on anything I read on my classroom, and even anywhere.

Reading has lot of things to offer, and that is really sure. That were the times that I learn to love the subject I hate, English. As as time goes by my eagerness for reading is suffice . I also want to be read, I also want to be heard, I also want to write. But unfortunately writing is not as easy and comfortable a s reading. Writing is completely different thing. Even if its really have relationship with reading, it didn't suit me well. So just like every innocent child, I quit my passion for writing, for I guess it not my passion. Things become lighter when I was in grade five that a teacher approach me and ask me to join a journalism contest, which I suppose they just don't have any choice so they pick me up. But that's not the thing there, the writing contest I join is a press conference. I am just lucky that I won there and join the regional level , but of course failed even to be just a finalist in the national level.

Well to cut this long story telling short, at present I am now the editor-in-chief of our schoolpaper in english, but sometimes the thought of failure is still running in my mind. I am always scolded by my schoolpaper adviser for doing lots of fault, and being irresponsible on things assigned to me. I want to tell my adviser that I am not simply a journalist,I am a writer. Know what's the difference? For me being a writer is a passion and being a journalist is by profession, but I'm sure I'll be receiving lot of horrific scolds for that very OA stuff.haha

But for all the potentials starting writers out there, don't ever lost your passion. For every literate can write but few have been given the talent to inspire, motivate and influence, that only a true writer can do.
