My English Language History

Being exposed to the league of presumed writers in my high school was never my intention. I was never into pen-and-paper artillery but because of some crazy people who put decent marks for English subjects in my report card, I have been admitted to the war of the words. I was put in a not-so-accountable position for the school paper. I was the associate editor-in-chief. My tasks were just to fire ammunition to the wrong grammar enemies and reinforce them with angelic ones. Hoping I haven’t killed anyone, I was good at my job that dictated my future in the English army.

College days challenged my writing power. I enlisted for an English Literature and Linguistics degree. The first two years was good. I was having fair grades until I met this terror professor who was like the commander-in-chief of the universal English force. She had that kind of gravitation that pulls the smiles of her subordinates away when she comes to class. As my professor in three different literature classes, she also gave me three knockdown grades equivalent to something you call “three kisses of death”. It was the lowest marks of my life. My junior year was definitely the turning point of my career in the English military but I’m still lucky, all of my mates are also suffering from the same bruise.
That event in my third year put me to questions. What was wrong with me? Why am I getting these grades? Was this about my writing skills? What was wrong with my powers? Are my ammunition getting weaker? I thought of many things just to provide answers. I observe my performance; my writings were just to mainstream for the commander-in-chief. She was missing a piece of my magic, I concluded, and that’s why I’m here.

Loren Phoelicity's 5th Birthday

Pink flamingo. Cute squirrel. Little bullfrog. Zing. First love. True love. To my Little Loren, happy 5th birthday! Thank you for coming into my life though you are almost 18 years late. Hahahaha! Still, I enjoy your company. My days sitting in the house's couch aren't 'lame' anymore. How I wish that we have grown up together, but I guess, seeing you now brought up by our parents is the best experience ever: I got to see myself on you when I was little and how was I being taken care of. I love you Sister. God has planned a beautiful story for us: I came first to pave the way for you. I thank God everyday that you have come! All the best and all the love in the world for you, baby! Lovest, Ate Pres.

Something to Brag About :)


Thank You so much Lord... Thank You for being so good to me, in helping me pass the exams (Licensure Examination for Teachers Sept 2013 and 3-day Comprehensive Examination Oct 2013 in my Masters @ Notre Dame of Marbel Univ), and sustaining me through it out. Indeed, I am so blessed. Please bless also the people who have prayed and supported me in this endeavor: My family, my mentors and my friends (you know who you are). You have really placed the right people in my life. I am forever grateful. These is all for the glory of God! Love you and You too! Amen.
