i miss journalism

really??

i have known myself quarterly as a writer. in elementary, i was the first fourth grader to publish articles in our school paper in like the last 20 years of that school organ. it started as an ordinary class paragraph. i can't remember why but it was about "dengue" (i know, weird) so there. i didn't even know they put it there. but that started my writing career. they began to send me to different writing contests. i didn't even know how to write a news story!! i was named EIC on my sixth year. (coooool) that same year i won my "national award" in a press conference. yey.

i continued writing in high school (because they forced me to. seriously) i started the freshman year with my article as the centerfold. (i know, creepy. i wasn't aware) i had my own column at sophomore year. it was called, "blah, that makes sense" and weirdly people read it. ha! it was about music, school blues, etc. i kept it alive till i graduated as again the EIC. i was supposed to win another national award in a presscon, but decided to give chances to others. (*kidding. hehe)

up to now, i receive messages from my high school friends saying, "leki, gawan mo naman ako ng poem, 5 stanzas about college ah!", or "lex, ano ang pinagkaiba ng allege sa accuse??" or "leki, gawa ka naman script para sa MC job ko, thanks!" and i'd be more than happy to help them because i do miss writing and seeing a great article in a school paper with my name on it as the writer. hmmm.
