Introduction


Hi Everyone,
This is my first blog entry. Honestly, I never considered myself as a blogger or even a writer ever since.  I love to doodle and write some random words on paper just to keep my mind preoccupied.  In school, I am obliged to write tons of research, reaction papers and other reports to finish the semesters. But, I never truly made any literature that is valuable in my four years of college. I envy people who can write whatever they want easily. Their brains work so fast that they can express ideas and put it into writing in just a couple of minutes. It’s like the words are flowing through their minds – a stream of consciousness. Those people are gifted. And I guess inspired.
For me, writers are born and not made. Yes, anyone can be a trained writer. But not everyone has the ability to become the influential one. According to a 17-year old Arthur Rimbaud, “The first study for the man who wants to be a poet is knowledge of himself, complete: he searches for his soul, he inspects it, he puts it to the test, he learns it. As soon as he has learned it, he must cultivate it! I say that one must be a seer, make oneself a seer.” Influential writers have visions. Visions that allow the readers to open their eyes and feel emotions. Great writers become legends not because of their popularity. They become immortal with their masterpiece that brings hope to humanity and society. 
Some people might say that I am merely a storyteller and not a writer. I take it as a compliment because storytellers are creative. I define myself as more of a creative thinker than a technical person. I desire new challenges. I am motivated by competitions. I am fearless in taking risks and committing mistakes. I question almost everything. I seek freedom. I aim to serve. I am passionate. Everything you need to know about me is in this blog. This is my legacy. And I dedicate this legacy to you. 
Expressing opinions. Exploring possibilities. Extending impact beyond lifetime.
