The inspiration for my first journal entry.
I began writing journal entries when I was 14 years old, but it was nothing serious. I was inspired by the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series and I thought I could do something similar.

Another Experiment
I noticed that I've been writing primarily in English in WordPress and most of my essays, stories and journal entries for the past few months. I want to change that. I believe that would be a good idea for me to get in touch with my roots as a Filipino. Living in the Philippines, people … Continue reading Another Experiment

The last quarter of every grade level has always been stressful and mine was no exception.
