I pick the diary and pen again when I was in the university, this time things are all about the guy next to me, how the teacher always match and coordinate everything based on colors (including her nail polish). It was fun until I can't do it anymore, I don't have much time specially my last year.
Then here I am again, I guess once a writer always a writer. This time I'm sure I have the time to maintain it, no more getting bored and no more school to get on my way of blogging. :)
Well I did not start writing with keyboard like the others but I am here now and I will be for a long time :)
I started writing late in my high school when I joined the school paper and that was until college. I returned back to writing a year ago for my own blog.
ReplyDeletewow so nice... I did not qualify to write on the school paper during high school :( huhu! but I still did write some contribution not a regular though. I guess just 3 times in 4 years hehe ..
DeleteI guess I'm one of those who started developing creative writing and journalism skills using keyboard. But only because journalism in highschool is the only best way to get high rate curricular activities for our final grades and ranking. Hihi But then again, i will always be thankful! :)
ReplyDeleteyou are lucky.. when i was in highscool computer is just but a word...
DeleteI started also with just a paper-based diary during my elementary days. It was where I wrote my pains and laughter. When blogs came in, I didn't immediately accepted the idea because I thought I can bring my diary wherever I go and it can be kept secret. However with much features and reach, blogs are great to keep as well.
ReplyDeleteyes you are right, kasi yung diary pag nawala wala na talaga while blog cant be access everywhere :)
DeleteI also started with pen and paper back in grade school until my high school, as a writer and editor for the school paper. It didn't stop until mid-College, but since I was already becoming too busy with thesis, I had to stop. Glad that we've both found an avenue to writing through blogging :) Cheers to more years of writing, now with the keyboard!
ReplyDeleteyou are lucky to be given a chance to work with the school paper, my poor spelling ability did not get me near that thing back in high school :(
DeleteI started writing when I was in Elementary when I was tasked with my classmate to write an article. Since then, I felt like I have done something really good. The thing is, whenever there are exams, my favorite part is the essay as I can rake high points and it's the only time I can show my skills in writing by using the right words in the right situation.
ReplyDeleteAnd many thanks to blogging and for the blogs I read. My writing skills improved gradually and my goal is still to write for my readers to be informed with facts and interesting stories.
i like easy too its not because i am good in writing but because i dont have to memorize hehe :)
DeleteI started writing back in Hayskul Bukol Days - sa School Gazette :) taz nung college comm. arts course ko na mostly writing works ang assignment kaya ayun :0 the rest is history--- kaya kahit may work na ako ngayon na malayo sa writing - hindi pa rin maalis sakin na magsulat ng magsulat kahit tipong diary lang :)
ReplyDeletepag naging hobby na siguro mahirap talagang alisin.. maganda din siyang outlet :)
DeleteI also had a diary before. Like you, all it contained were routines and observations on my everyday life. I'd been a staff writer way back in highschool then created a friendster blog in college. It's fun to write, right? :)
ReplyDeletei tried that too the friendster thing kaso medyo nahiya ako kasi hindi ako talaga ganun kagaling sa pagususlat nahiya ako na baka mabasa ng mga kaibigan ko hehe eh puro mga critiko pamandin sila hhe :)
DeleteI also keep a diary which started when I was in high school, there were several but I kept only one which I sometimes read to reminisce those happy days I wrote in it. Good thing there is a mobile gadget now that it is so easy to write anytime and anywhere you want.
ReplyDeleteagree though i am still learning mobile blogging I think it will be another step I'll be taking in the near future :)
DeleteGood to hear that your 'writer instinct' leads you back to where your passion is. I too, started writing at age 10, mostly poems ang forte ko.
ReplyDeleteyeah I notice nga that you are really good in rhyming poetry, the first blog post I read from you was a poem and its really so nice :)
Deletewow good for you! i never love writing hehe i hate it actually i've never had a diary like everyone else. I used to love reading books more before
ReplyDeletehehe :) and yet here we are keeping a blog :)
DeleteThank God you started writing again because your writing skills are so good, keep it up. By the way i am also new to this blogging system and i am loving it :)
ReplyDeleteaww that is sweet of you :) thanks for dropping by and welcome to blogging world :)
DeleteI also started with paper ;) I love diaries because I was a sort-of loner at school even when I have a number of friends. The diary was my outlet, my best friend. Computers were around when I was in high school pero WORD STAR pa yung gamit namin! haha This generation is so lucky now :D
ReplyDeleteYou should blog and stay ;) I'm one of those who blog and drop but am enjoying blogging now - been blogging straight for 3 months now :D
thanks for the encouragement :)
DeleteHaha, funny I started writing myself when i was also in Grade 6, hmm actually that was the last day of Grade 5 when we had to meet our Grade 6 teacher and then she gave as an assignment, to make a diary and write a daily input about how summer was spent.
ReplyDeleteaww... homework during summer :) a good idea but to those who look forward for summer because its time to get away from school thing it's a bad news hehe
DeleteI don't write. I tried to write when I was a little but,I guess writing is not for me. I started to blog 2008, when I was preggy with my son. I am still blogging and happy for it.
ReplyDeleteand happy to meet you in this blogging world :)
DeleteI love to write not because I am a good writer, but because I want to show off my nice penmanship way back in my Elementary years hahaha
ReplyDeletehahaha too bad that I dont have good penmanship even to this days..I use to be left handed but I change to right hand maybe thats the reason why I dont have a good a hand writing
DeleteI remember writing my blog posts on paper before typing them.. haha! it's so crazy!! but writing is definitely a passion and whether it is in type or handwritten, the love for writing will never end! :)
ReplyDeleteyeah somehow that will help para edit edit na lang while typing hehe
