I was busy reading news and culumns in inquirer.net. Obliged myself because I need to be updated with current events for my compre exam. I intended to take it this Aug. But I don't think I'm ready so I'm postponing it to January.

While reading the columns, I chanced upon a blog of a highschool student of PhiScie. I thought she is a seasoned blogger until I saw her profile. She wrote quite impressively. To make my story short, she inpired me to post in my blog as well.

Blogging is like writing a journal to hone one's writing skills. Specially for my case. Our reviewer emphasized that being able to write well helps a lot in passing the Comprehensive exam. So before January I should have posted at least 20 insightful articles and stories in my blog to increase my writing confidence.

Before I made this post, I read what I wrote previously about Netherlands plan.

Just to update you on that, I've been back since end of March. The 3 months plan was shortened. And I'm thankful! I had difficulty adjusting to the food there so I don't think I would be able to survive for that long.

Netherlands is highly advanced in terms of infrastructure and technology. But as I recounted to my mother in-law, it's lonely there. Philippines is still the happiest and the most beautiful place for me! If we've only managed our resources and environment properly, we can be one of the richest countries on earth.

Besides, Netherlands is an entirely flat country. It's not like the Philippines where wonders of nature abound. Not much adventure... less breath-taking sceneries. But I cannot deny the fact that "biking" is a lot fun there.

My three weeks stay there have been fruitful. I went back to the Philippines bringing with me the things to finish. Unfortunately, because of a number of set-backs along the way, I'm still not half-way. But I' not worried. I understand that a "change" project is not easy. And it cannot be accomplished overtime.

Okay, I'm startng to emote...hehehe... Going back to my original purpose of posting this, I hope this boosts my writing confidence, one way or another.
