I’m a writer. Writing is my life.


You know that you’re a writer when you said that you’ll have a writing break but you write anyway.

-Fay Sebastian

I will continue writing and writing and writing. Reading is my passion, but writing? It’s my life. I find myself obsessed with pens and notebooks and good handwriting. Every time I read something interesting, I’d write something about that. I’d write about any topic that I feel to be lacking my opinion. I like to speak out and let the world know what I think. Who knows? Even a simple idea of a new approach to something might make a difference. I believe in that.

Blogging falls under writing. My blog is where I post my thoughts and connect with people who have similar, or even other point of views. I love it when followers say what they think about a post and we start a little discussion. Combined ideas are better than just a single one.

I’m the kind of writer who doesn’t like to be told of what to write, when to write, and most of all, how to write. When I write, I feel that I’m free. I don’t like to follow certain formats or even the formal English writing rules. I don’t like rules, actually. I will spell love as loooovve if I want to. No one can stop me.

What about haters, bashers, you say? You can exist in this world without a single person who hates your existence. As my dad says, “I don’t care what they think of me, as long as I’m not doing anything wrong and I’m happy.”

I’m happy with writing and being the real me. No ifs and no buts. I’m just living my life the fullest and writing…and writing…and writing.

 

Weekly Writing Challenge: Mind the Gap

Our blogs are platforms from which we share our experiences, opinions, and views with the online world. For Mind the Gap challenges, we want to hear what you think about a divisive issue. Each challenge will include a poll where you can cast your vote along with your fellow Daily Post participants. After you vote, tell us more about how you feel by expanding on the topic in a blog post.

This one is a nice topic.

The Fault of the Internet


The weekly writing challenge talks about smartphones and how they affect society.

People tend to blame technology for the sudden change that happened to the world: children obsessed over video games, teen problems caused by social networking sites, and family misunderstandings because of tablets and smartphones.

Smartphones are very common due to the fact that it’s an all-in-one platform. I myself use Twitter & Tumblr on my phone because I can carry it everywhere. And why do we love smartphones? One word: internet. When there’s free Wi-Fi in a place, people are sure to go there.

The internet, among all aspects of technology, gets the greatest blame. But here’s the thing: it’s not the fault of the internet, it’s our fault.

The internet did not force us to create an account for every social networking site that ever existed. We chose to do that.

The internet did not force us to download and pay for the super fun applications and games that filled up the memory of our tablets and smartphones. We chose to do that.

The internet did not force us to stay up late tweeting or updating our blogs. We chose to do that.

The internet did not create itself, we created the internet. We created our own problems and it’s time to fix the glitches.

How about starting with yourself? Self-discipline would be a great idea. After all, we are who we choose to be.

Animated Movies and Change


Animated movies are only for children.

I don’t think so. If we learn to appreciate them, animated movies can teach us the lessons that we tend to take for granted. Because nowadays, it’s hard to find people who actually care about what matters. Whenever someone tries to make a change, people laugh at the mere idea. Why? Because that someone is not someone?

I believe that big or small, there’s a difference that only you can make. I first heard that in a Barbie movie, the 12 Dancing Princesses, to be specific. And I am not ashamed of telling the world that even at the age of 15, I still love Barbie movies. The songs are very beautiful and the lessons are life-changing.

Swan Lake: You’re braver than you think.

Mariposa: The best thing you can be is yourself.

Island Princess: There may be miracles awaiting, they may be closer as we know, when we have love to guide us as we go.

And here are some animated movies that I love:

  • The Lorax
  • Rio
  • Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
  • Happy Feet
  • Shrek

You see, sometimes we underestimate the small things, not knowing that they are the ones who matter the most. Watch an animated movie today, and try to look at things differently: a single movie might change everything.
