When I was young, I dreamt of being a scientist, an archaeologist to be specific. Eventhough I do not know how to spell it that time, I still want to be one because I am fascinated with dinosaurs and I want to dig up their fossils. When I entered gradeschool, I thought of being a newscaster, a flight attendant and an astronaut. But no matter how difficult it may be to decide for my career, I know there will be only one destined for me. And so I quote, "Sa hinaba-haba man ng desisyon, sa Engineering din ang tuloy." :)

Hi there. Just want to share with you my essay that I mentioned on my first post. :]]]

The Perfect Haven

In a life full of worries and stress, the perfect hideaway is a place where nature is very visible, a place far away from the busy city lights. I have always dreamt of a haven where I can relax and do whatever I want. Eventually, I have found the perfect place I've been looking for.

On an island where nobody is there, I can see the trees dancing and the butterflies are flying around me. The only thing I hear is the air and the smooth flow of the ocean near me. I can feel the warmth of the air embraced me as I sat down the grass, under that big old tree. I got my mom's Bible inside my bag. I opened it and found a verse that made me reflect and think things over. God reminded me not to worry, for He is always beside me. And I felt so relieved because I can feel God's embrace. Then I lay down and saw the clouds and the blue sky above me. The grass is tickling my whole body, tempting me to sleep. Suddenly, I felt light and so relaxed, a wonderful feeling that I'm longing these past few days.

Later, I opened my eyes and saw my bedroom's ceiling. I am back in the real world. I have dreamt of the perfect haven and how I wish I could go back there.

Wow, my first ever 'serious' blog entry. Congratulate me. :))

I never imagined myself getting hooked into blogging. I was never a good writer, simply because I am not confident with my english skills and I lack artistry for writing. Oh, and by the way, I was a news writer in High School. News, not literary nor creative writing.

Okay, so much for the excuses. Actually I have a Multiply site, and I have a few blog posts, about five I think. Most of them are just for the sake of posting something on my blank page. To cut the long story short, I really have no interest for this! :c

But that was before. Now, I am convincing myself that I have a hidden talent. I realized that I have to enhance and practice my writing skills when my present English Professor gave me a 'star' (a perfect score) on my first descriptive essay. Cool, someone appreciated my work! :) She is also the inspiration behind my blog title. I got the idea when she told me, "It's your time to shine." So I would like to thank my prof. for that shining star she gave me. I hope she can read this and I hope she would give me a good final grade. hahaha ;p

So that's it for my first post. I hope you would find time to read my future entries. And please don't expect too much from a first-time blogger. I myself do not expect a lot from this hidden talent. :)

Thanks for reading! Goodnight and God bless.
