AN ODE TO MY FATHER

Hey, guys! It's been a while. Well, I've been very busy at school especially now that finals are fast approaching. It's frustrating, really! But if I want to find a decent job and be the next president of Awesomeness, then I badly need to strive hard. Kidding aside, we may find studying a burden in this time of our lives, but someday, eventually... we'll know the genuine worth of education.

So much for that, today I will be sharing to you one of my most favorite poems that I ever made. This is actually my homework for our English subject and me (being me) forgot about it and I had to compose this in rush (Bad example, I know). But, it turned out better (best, rather) than I expected. This poem is dedicated to my Father whom I love the most, aside from my mom :) I hope you like it and don't forget to leave comments and feed backs!

AN ODE TO MY FATHER

IN A FATHER'S EYES, YOU ARE THE MOST PERFECT GIRL AND HIS FOREVER PRINCESS...

 I

You kissed my forehead when I first opened my eyes

You carried me in your arms and made me feel alright

You gently swayed to make me fall in slumber

And I knew right then, you were going to be the best father

  II   

You taught me lots of things; you taught me how to fight

You kept me in sight as I learn how to ride a bike

Whenever I fall, you’re always there to pick me up

And when I cry, you’d give me a strawberry-flavored lollipop

III

There are hundreds of things I need to do; thousands of words to say to you

I’m not vocal about my feelings but I deeply love you

Someday I’ll leave the palace and live on my own

But papa, I will forever treasure the love you’ve shown

 IV

A father is your first love; your first kiss

The man who you will truly miss

I may be old now and I will someday leave the nest

But I know, in your eyes, I will always be your princess

ONE STEP AT A TIME: HOW I STARTED WRITING

Writing  has always been my hobby and as time passed by, it became my passion. I used to hate writing. I hate dealing with words, sentences and most especially, grammar. I've never been a fan of it until I came across this application where you can express yourself through writing as well as reading. Wattpad is a place to discover and share stories: a social platform that connects people through words. It is a community that spans borders, interests, and languages. I started reading on Wattpad back in 2011 when one of my classmates shared a story that got my interest. Ever since then, I've been addicted to reading!

I became a heavy reader but still, I was not convinced to write. I was scared and terrified. Scared to be judged and terrified to be criticized. My grammar wasn't that good and my English needed to be improved. English was never my favorite subject at school. I excelled more in Arts. Everything changed when I got into the world of Korean Pop or simply Kpop. I was addicted and obsessed with Korean Idols that pushed me to write a Fanfic about ss501--- a South Korean boyband under DSP Media. They became my inspiration to write a fan fiction entitled, 'My Oppa' (Oppa is a name for a not-too-much older male, or for her beloved Korean man). I still remember the day I wrote that story, the rain was pouring so hard outside and I was under my sheets, with a pen and a notebook while listening to Kpop songs.

And ever since then, I was enamored of writing. I started with Fan fictions which led to another and I started to write Romance. I posted my first every story in Wattpad entitled, 'A Promise of Two Lovers'--- a story of a young girl who made a promise to a boy to marry him when they're at the right age but the girl had to move away and unfortunately, the plane they were on crashed which caused the girl to have amnesia and all that's left of her memory is a gold bracelet embedded with flowers. I never really got a chance to finish this story since I didn't have a definite plot and I had limited access to the computer.

But that didn't stop me. Together with my two best friends, we were fond of daydreaming which is normal for 'Fangirls' like us. We were bewitched with imagining and dreaming about EXO--- a Chinese-South Korean boy band based in Seoul which consists of twelve members separated into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M. This led us to make a collaboration and write a fan fiction in Wattpad! Our story, entitled 'Graduation Gift', was all about 3 bestfriends who went on a 30-day trip to South Korea as their graduation gift where they meet 12 handsome and extraordinary boys who happens to be Kpop idols, EXO. I was captivated of writing this story so much that I sometimes neglect to study, it was a bad decision for me. This story gained up to almost 25k readers and I was overwhelmed.

I stopped writing and updating this story since I was once hooked again to writing another story which is entitled, 'Married to my Professor'. A story about a girl who is arranged to marry her long-time crush -slash- professor. There wasn't much age gap and the girl was totally in love with him while the professor, well the feeling wasn't mutual. ONCE AGAIN, I stopped writing this story since I had a writer's block and I couldn't make up a definite plot.

I only finished writing one book in my life. It wasn't really a book, it was more of a short story with only 3 chapters. It was for my English Project and we had to make a short story. Since Romance was too mainstream for me, I decided to wrote a General Fiction. It was entitled, 'Vengeance is my Middle Name', it was all about a girl who was a victim of bullying. She was despised and hated by everyone. She died in a car crash with no one caring about her. She was given another chance to live but in a different body, she took revenge to the people who hurt her but in the end she still died. For me. this was a very challenging to write, I wasn't used to writing tragic and action stories so it was a bit hard for me. But as they say, 'All hard works are paid off', I got a perfect score! Hooray for me! 

And now, I am currently working on a Werewolf story entitled, 'My Brother's Bestfriend is my Mate?!'. And I'm pretty sure this will be the very first book I'm going to finish. 5 more chapters to go and I'm done! This book is very dear to me since I never thought a lot of people appreciated my way of writing and my story. My readers were so patient and supportive and they were the ones who helped me all the way. They were my inspiration and they motivated me to write up until now.

I became interested in blogging because of my inspiring adviser as well as my English teacher. Writing became my forte and now I want to try different things which is Blogging.

I know I started writing in a very unusual way. But I was happy that because of KPOP, it pushed me to write stories and fictions and now blogging. My hobby of reading books helped me improve my grammar and my knowledge about English. And I would also acknowledge my ever-supportive mother who's always there for me. To my two favorite English teachers, T. Elett and T. Cristine. And to GOD who gave me a wonderful talent in writing.

XOXO, WinDragon :*
