Arao, D. A. (2007, July 25-31). Bakit ba ako nagsusulat ngayon? Pinoy Weekly, 6 (28), p. 5. This may be retrieved from http://www.pinoyweekly.org/pw6-28/op_ed/ed-6_28_3.htm.
You can say that this is the one of the most personal essays I have written so far.
There is no such thing as a born writer, and my experience with writing is evidence of it.
My elementary and high school classmates know how I initially hated writing. In the past, I would study Math and Science subjects with so much enthusiasm, very much unlike my attitude towards English and Filipino, especially when it comes to theme writing. But as I grew older and wiser, I saw the need to write not only to communicate but also to inform and enlighten.
I hope you will find time to read my personal journey. Thank you for your attention.

hmmm… i miss math.
Long reply:
Yes, I remember Chiang Kai Shek. I faced three of its best students at the Philippine Math Olympiad (PMO) in the mid-1980s. Magaling talaga ang preparasyon sa mga estudyante ng Chiang Kai Shek tuwing PMO kaya natalo ako noon. Ha ha.
Good to know that you also shifted your attention to journalism. Sa tingin ko, may silbi tayo rito!
I miss Math, too. I think that’s the reason I prefer to write socioeconomic articles forBulatlat. Cheers!
