Wish I can write something everyday….

I’m not really a big fan of ‘WRITING’, though, I think writing has been an on and off part of me (parang gf and bf relationship, walang commitment, pag medyo nagsawa na cool-off na!)

I never imagine myself to become a writer, but a big break came when I went to Palau, I guess I just dont have a choice at that time.  But DANG! Let me tell you, I was writing 10-15 articles per week (OH Thank GOD! that island was so lay back, that newspaper comes out bi-weekly then), how I manage to do that I dont know! LOL!  Honestly, I surprised myself as well, I’m not bragging but I  remember telling my publisher that what we are publishing is not a newspaper, it should be a newletter, because base on what I’ve studied newspaper is supposed to be current events, if you publish it a day or more ago then it becomes history. 

But it doesn’t matter on that island because its so hard to get some bits, nothing major is really happening aside from family and clan events or their major holiday, crime is very rare either.  That’s the only place in the world (I think? I’m not so positive!), that a presidential candidate can stand in the middle of the intersection WITHOUT bodyguards to wave and campaign and will still be safe and healthy at the end of the day.  

Anyway, going back to writing, from a bi-weekly newspaper “Tia Belau” became weekly, then after 6months If I remember it right, because of my excellent writing and reporting skills (lifting my own chair…hep! dont even say a word..LOL!), we were publishing ‘twice a week’, take note from bi-weekly, I made the paper come out twice a week (Wednesday & Saturday).  I cannot believed myself how I did that…but I did. 

That’s when I realized I can write, it was hard but it was fun, I like the prestige that comes with it too! Well, my writing career only lasted for 11months, I didnt get any increase in pay, so I decided to change my job. 

I think writing is fun and easy if you put your heart to it, but to some people its just a piece of cake because they are born to write.  There are also some who are gifted, they are meant to be writers.  If I’m going to classify myself, I’m neither of the two, I’m not gifter nor born to be a writer. 

For me writing is pleasure, writing is something that I enjoy to do and not I’m obligated to do.  I’m so glad that they invented blogging, because I think that’s what I like to do, I’m a ’sort’ of a writer when I blog.  I just wish I have something to blog about everyday.  Maybe, I can use some help, why dont you give me some idea of topics to blog about?

Oh by the way, thanks for reading! I really appreciate it!
