Writing though takes some skills to get into what we want to communicate could be done in three simple ways. These things we learned from our late Grade 6 English-and-grammar teacher. She's our class adviser.



Since we're required to write a composition in various themes, we struggled to overcome our limited writing knowledge on writing. Every month we kept on rewriting and rewriting what we'd written. In doing so, we'd learned from her to write simply is to observe the 3-paragraph method. And we appreciated it as we're developing our skill in writing.

Writing HIDE 'n SHOW Principles

I have been writing since 2011 in the Internet particularly in my several blog sites. It seems It is a good experience for me for hurdling the 7 years of online writing. Not only in my particular websites but also with the other sites which I am earning a penny. It doesn't matter if I receive less. What is important I have practiced and used my writing skill effectively.

With such long of writing experiences, I have made my own writing principle for reference or whatever purpose it may serve especially to the would-be or budding writers.

People don’t feel compel others to write for they don’t want to or there are factors that prevent them from doing so. People couldn’t start writing without an inspiration on what topic to write about. People are afraid to write for they would rather express themselves talking. People have to struggle much to express what they have in mind for they don’t the ability to do it.

I Write for It’s Right

I write for I know I have the right to do it. I know I have the inclination to do it. It is my right to use that particular skill I have had, which is writing.

I have been writing for 25 years in a formal means or medium of writing like the media and the social media as well in this modern time. I have a lot of ups and downs. It would be frustrating to write in the fourth estate of society which is the media. I started as a news stringer in our locality to a vigilant community newspaper. Until I was given a regular column to write upon.

My interest in writing started when I was a kid. During our time, the medium of instruction in our school was a local dialect or Ilonggo. My mother used to buy a Hiligaynon, an Ilonggo magazine which attracted me to scrutinize it, until I learned to read it. The short stories were interesting. The comic pages were also interesting. Since they were written in a series, I never missed following them up until to their conclusion or the ending of the stories.

Running Out of Ideas on What to Write? Here's How to Remedy It

(This is a repost of article I have written to myLot under the title, "How Not to Run Out of Topic for myLot?")

Writing is not for everyone. It's a skill which could be acquired by learning, by practicing it, by modeling but not all is going to be a writer.

Writing is an art. It takes varoius style or methods which the writer is comfortable with it. Here in myLot most of users aren't used to writing. They consider this site as another form of social media like Facebook in which in any manner it's not. They post trivial things which have less or no value at all and usually their posts are queries on personal in nature.

How My Sister Molds Me of What I Am Now

In my time, there was no preschool or kindergarten. A grade school children had to go through the rudiments of learning by a strict, disciplinarian teachers who looked like a tiger or a fierce animal when discipline is concerned. Children learned out of fear.

Inday Sita

My first teacher is my eldest sister. She was 23 years old when she handled my private lesson or tutorial in writing, arithmetic, and reading when I was in grade one.

Inday Elesita, our eldest sister followed up my writing lesson at home when my mother was busy or out to market.

And Inday Sita was of no difference from those teacher I mentioned although she had no teaching experience for she just my tutor. She was too strict, too cruel. She used to hit me when I couldn't catch up what she was teaching me.

She was also a strict disciplinarian. In learning to write my name, she had to put me on top of the table which was too difficult for me to get down when I wanted too for I couldn't reach the floor. I had no choice but to do her bid. I had to write my complete several times in several pages of the pad paper with no mistake.

Writing, a Legacy from my Grade Six Teacher

My grade six class adviser had taught me the secret of writing that works and I considered it as the important skill I never ever forget. And this led me to what I am now: a successful teacher, a school principal, . No wonder why, writing becomes my passion when I was a grader.

Lilia Garin

Where is this teacher of mine now? It was almost for 49 years ago that this teacher took care of us in her class as our adviser and teacher in grade six section one.

Since we live in the same place, I used to see her early in the morning going to Church when I took a morning walk at the back of the city hall.

Alas! I came across from one of my news feeds in the Facebook recently that she has already passed away and she had been buried a year already from one of the posts I read.

I was a bit guilty then for I hadn't even made a vigil for her wake nor attended her burial for she's living within the city where I am residing. It was I know a miscommunication. No one from one of my classmates informed me.

I am referring to Miss Lilia G. Garin, my grade six class adviser sometime in 1966 in La Carlota Elementary School. She's strict when it comes to class attendance and misbehavior. But too considerate to a weakling like me who is sickly.

Out of Bounty, Then What?

Out of the bounty, a person speaks and expresses his or her heart's content for gratefulness. And this is what I thought when late tonight, I came across with a blog written by a humble lady. She titled her blog as "Bountiful Basics".

Bountiful Basics - What's in a Name?

I wonder why it is called "bountiful basics" when in fact basics are only limited. Basic is defined or referred to as rudiment, fundamental, or the basis of anything in existence so to speak.

Anyway, as I read her blog. I noticed that she regarded the basic information as it is worth sharing for it is "valuable". I do agree with her for that.

Basic Information

However, based on what I've learned for 33 years, I was confident and I know it that the basic information a person should know and to consider himself as fully educated, are three things, such as:

1. Where did he come from?
2. Why is he here on earth?
3. Where does he go after his life?

As I went over her blog and read her "My Cheese Keeps Moving", she cited a scripture that says, "the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare" (D&C 104:17, LDS scripture) This has made me believed her that out of the bounty which the earth provides, everyone could subsist and live abundantly and sufficiently. And eventually he or she could keep some of it for rainy days.

The Author

Writing Prowess

Anyway this lady as I've known her in Facebook is Edellen Nonescan Reyes. She started her first blog sometime in January 2012.

 She had the talent to write. She could wield her pen to hone her writing prowess. Before she formally wrote a blog, she had been writing online as a ghostwriter at oDesk. A spark of inspiration "keeps her cheese moving" when her grandfather gave her a stock certificate which later she sold and earned a hefty sum of money. Then she wanted to share that successful money making she learned by experience. She's confident then that  there is money in stock market exchange. She's an authority on investment management.

Her blog banner simply states "Bountiful Basics - simple solutions for a changing world." Do you agree with it? Find it out by visiting Bountiful Basics.

Writing in 5 Practical Ways

My passion of writing was developed in 1964. That was 48 years ago when I was a grade 4 pupil. My first writing piece was in the form of poetry for I was inspired by a lady who was our neighbor. I used to this form of writing exposition for I loved reading poem vocally and as I was reading it I loved hearing myself  as if it was a music to my ear.

My Handy Friend

My second writing piece was about fiction. What I've read or heard from the radio I composed a short story for it and mailed to Hiligaynon, a local dialect comic magazine, which was common among the household in our place. This was the magazine that had developed my reading skill till I used to reading English books and our school textbooks too.

When I mailed my write-ups to this magazine and, they're published. I was surprised when I received a mail with money order inside as payment of my published article for I thought it was free. I didn't bother publishing more of my articles for some reasons.

However, I may consider my formal writing in 1991 in the local newspaper here in our place as stringer and later as a regular columnist.
