 About Me

The main reason why I decided to make a blog is simply to express my feelings. I am the type of person who has troubles speaking out my mind. I am 14 years old. In my point of view, there are only two groups of people. Me and everyone else. I have built a barrier to protect myself. I have friends but, until now, no one has crossed my line.


You may think that I am so emotional or as they say "Emo" but I am not. I have a lot of friends and I trust them dearly and I love them. I can not tell my feelings directly to them though. Why? Because I am afraid of being turned down or rejected. I express my feelings through writing and drawing.


Since I was a child, I have been a drawing enthusiast. I admit, I suck at drawing when I was little. I almost thought that drawing wasn't for me but in such an early age, I told myself... If I do not try, I'll never know if it is really for me or not. My brother is a very good artist. He specializes in drawing anime or manga characters at that time. I was very interested in manga at that time too. Every time I watch anime series like Shaman King, Dragon Ball, Flame of Recca and other amazing animes, I feel very ecstatic for some weird reason. Since then, I tried my best to learn how to draw.


When it comes to writing, it's a very different story. You see, even though we are Filipinos (Asians) our family has been blessed with intellect. All of my uncles and my aunties and my mom had graduate from the best school in the Philippines, University of The Philippines. We have been blessed with the natural ability to do things beyond an average person's expectations and imagination. Since I was a little kid, I feel the blood of a writer rushing through my veins. I can still remember locking myself in the comfort room trying to write poems and short stories. Of course, my writing skills we improved when I went to a private school called Falcon Learning Center. In school year 2009 - 2010, I joined the Journalism club and became the Senior Staff Writer. Writing Emotional and Satiric Poems eventually became my field of expertise.

The Journal

~22nd of April, 2010 (Thursday)~

I woke up and  I thought It was already noon. I went to the kitchen to look at the clock, It was 5:30 in the morning. I went inside the room in the middle of our 2nd living room. Mom was there, using the laptop, checking her email. I sat on the sofa, waiting for mom to finish. She finished about 6:30 am. I used the laptop, checked my Facebook, DrawingNow and my Youtube account to see if I have any updates. After that, I played some of my Favorite Facebook games which includes WildOnes, Tiki Resort and Social City. When it was about 7:00 am, I took a bath and changed. I looked at the clock and it was already 7:30. I was in such a hurry to go to school, I almost left my wallet. My brother was the one who drove me to school, I was in the back seat and her girlfriend and my soon to be sister-in-law was in from beside him. I was very quiet because I had an argument with my brother last month. Since then, we didn't talk to each other. Anyway, I reached school and headed for math class. After math class I went to the English class and I had fun! Our lesson was about grammar. So, I already told you the climax of my day! Now tell me, What was the climax of your day?

~23rd of April, 2010 (Friday)~

Today was quite a fun day. I went to school and fir the first time, I kinda enjoyed math class. Well, not really. Anyway, the English class was till great! We checked the seat work we worked on for 2 days. I got a score of 21/22. Chelsea, a new classmate, got 18/20 and Rolen got 14/20 (I forgot Joseph's score). After that we had a seat work again. I scored 13/15 Joseph got 14/15 Chelsea got 13/15 and Rolen got 14/15. I wasn't observant enough I guess . Mom and I ate out and eventually came home. The person I hate the most in the world, my eldest "sister", opened the door. I hate her so I don't talk to her. Anyway, I went to check my Facebook account to see if "someone" replied to my apology letter. Too bad she didn't I'm still hoping for her to reply though, I'm so sad without her company. So, I told you the climax of my day, now tell me the climax of yours!
