The Start of Something Not Really That New


Maybe this year, I will be able to fulfill this promise. Maybe. Just maybe.

Some people say that I am a quitter, and yes, I cannot just argue because it is true. I have joined a lot of organizations way back in college, then I just leave when I want to. Various reasons arose in my mind when I quit. I was busy doing some paper works on a subject. I did not also feel that I belong to the organization. I could not keep up with the activities of the group to the point that it makes me feel terribly sick. I know it is just wrong to keep the people hanging, but what should I do? I was young, wild, and free. I did not understand the consequences of the things that I have done to my future.

Last year, I started a blog named Yanong Bisdak. Some people said that it is just a rip off to my boyfriend's blog Basta Bisaya. Maybe? As a writer, I am still finding my place in the writing scene. I even do not know what to write. In fact, I still do not know how to write well. I admit that I am not really an innate writer. I just developed my love of writing as the time went by.

Maybe, I am writing because I have nowhere to go to? To be honest, I just do not know the answer. I know that I am not a very good writer, but they say that if I keep on writing, it will really improve my craft. Also, I am teaching a writing class this year. It is just right for my students to see their teacher writing. I can be an inspiration to them as they do their writing assignments in our class. I could also learn from them and write our experiences on this blog.

This year, I will do my best to complete my unfinished task. I will make my younger self-proud by publishing content on this blog. Aside from the fact that I will not be paying P500 in the culminating activity, I believe that it will be just so satisfying to see your blog having a lot of content. I may be a neophyte blogger, but I know that I can do better this year.

I just also want to emphasize that the future contents of this blog shall not and will not reflect the views and opinions of the institutions that I belong. I am planning to write anything and everything under the sun. It may be my random rants and ideas about certain things, but you know, that is the point of a blog, isn't it? I am tired of being a lifestyle blogger (as if naman) last year. Maybe I am not just fit for being that kind of writer. I will write what I want. As cliche as it may sound, but I want to write to express, and not to impress. I have been teaching students this concept yet I am not practicing it myself, so let me correct my wrongdoings.

I just want to be as informal as possible. Please do not expect some formal writings on this blog. I will do my best to express here. Lol.

So yeah, please be a lamb and help me complete this 52-week challenge! Let's finish this challenge together! :)

It's New Year, My Students, So What Now?

(Personal rant coming your way. If you don't want to read some "drama," feel free not to read this article.) I have been a student all my life. In fact, right after I finished my degree in Mass Communication, I did not hesitate to study again to become a professional teacher. I started to take some education units in a community college located in our vicinity. As an aspiring educator, I do not want to disappoint my students. This is the reason why I really wanted to learn how to effectively and efficiently teach. Thank goodness, after a few months of teaching, some of my students say that they learned something in my classes. As we start the new year, we will also be launching a new semester. Even though our second semester officially began last November, the students were still not in the mood for studying. As a teacher, I really expanded my patience by understanding their sentiments, because as cliche as it may sound, I was also a student before and I also...

The Malnourishment of Radyo Kahimsug

(Note: The views and opinions expressed in this article are mine alone and it does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the company that I am connected with.) Despite the emergence of the new media today, we can never deny the importance of mainstream media in the molding our minds. The so-called trimedia, which consists of print, radio, and television, acts as a primary source of information for us long before Facebook had given birth to Newsfeed. On a personal note, I really wanted to become a radio personality. I always imagined myself before talking to a microphone and sharing my opinions to the public. In fact, I want to become an influencer through this medium. Despite the change of career, my love for this medium has not dwindled. I still listen to radio every morning just to get my daily dose of news bites to fuel my day-to-day activities. As a teacher, it helps me create sound judgment to issues that matter in our society. One of my most favorite ...

Why We Should Not Let Press Conferences Dictate Our Identity

When I was young, I was mesmerized by the "talking" box called television. Every 6:30 in the evening, I always sit in front of our 14" TV and tune in to the newscast of TV Patrol. It has gone a lot of changes through the years. We have seen the changes in its logo, sound bed, name, and even hosts. This show has defined not just my childhood, but also my identity. Who would have thought that a seven-year-old child will be hooked up to just watching to an hour and a half newcast of people standing and talking? I do not really know. These people have molded the person that I am now. Their news broadcasts and tone is soothing to my ears. Their postures just pleasing to my eyes. Maybe I am just crazy when I was a child? This is the reason why I was really excited when my English teacher in high school approached me and asked if I could be one of our school's sports writer for the upcoming Area Schools Press Conference (SPC) that year. I consider myself nerdy, no...
