The First Time I Wrote an Article

I’ve been writing since I was in high school. But they were mostly journal entries, either in my diary or by way of blog entries. To give me credit, a large amount of my blog content in college was dedicated to creative writing.

Writing about other types of non-fiction just did not occur to me. Truthfully, I used to hate them in high school. Obviously, I’ve outgrown that hatred. In college, I feel like I immersed myself little by little to different types of literary pieces that I’ve come to appreciate most of them. Although to date, I still haven’t read a memoir, apart from The Diary of Anne Frank.

Recently, I have been writing again. And I love it. Sometimes I don’t really like the end result that much. I try to get better. I reread my previous works after a day or two and I make mental notes of how I can improve next time.

Regardless, I always feel joy that I was able to write something.

In fact, as my writing momentum was increasing, I decided to give something new a try. My boyfriend introduced me to Medium, so I decided to write an advice article.

Unexpectedly, the article went better than I expected the day after I publish it. To top it off, the next day, I received requests from two different editors to submit my article to their publication. I read them the moment I woke up, what a start to my day!

Now, my article can be read from The Startup on Medium.

New Blog

Hi there!

I have decided to go on another writing journey. Not to worry, I will not be abandoning this blog any more than I already have. This is and always will be my personal blog.

With that being said, may I present to you The Ube Cake. There, my whimsies on baking and other sweets will live.

I am hoping this will help me in various ways. Or else, be another blog that gets ignored.

Please visit it when you get a chance and feel free to drop a comment or two!

Currently Reading

I recently watched this comedian who said a blog is a conversation nobody really wants to have. Can’t remember her name anymore, and I agree with her. A lot of times that is really just what a blog is. As you can see, though, I don’t care.

Anyway, I’m currently reading Little Women, when I can. The ‘stay at home’ order is saving me a lot of time that would otherwise be dedicated to prepping lunch, commute, and other pre- and post-work related routines, so I end up reading. Which I really like.

Huh, I guess the comedian was right, this is a conversation no one needed to be a part of.
