Love Story on Video from the Scratch


I remember when I started writing those love stories on video, somebody asked me what course did I take in college. When I answered them that I took Bachelor in Advertising and Public Relations their reactions would be "Oh? Really? I thought you are a mass communication student."

Actually, I'm not really a HARDCORE in terms of writing English compositions especially in oral way. I got nervous whenever I was asked by my professors for recitation, then I will say "Oh my God! Nosebleed!"

What should I say? What should I do?

My classmate named Diane told me that in order to communicate well in English you must allow yourself (self esteem) to conquer your body. Don't let your anxiety invades your body.

You must believe in yourself too.

I'm not a professional writer like Dan Brown, Stephenie Meyer, Paulo Coelho but I believe in myself. Writing knows no boundaries. As long as people can understand you, you are a writer. You don't have to use UNKNOWN English terms (lol) such as paramagnetic, imagism, assuage, backarapper and the like.

But on the other hand, it's comfortable to use your native language - Your First Language - in expressing what's on your mind.

Yung iba lang naman na Pinoy na palaging gumagamit ng English ay yung mga taong gustong masabihan ng Wow! Sosyal!
In english, Some Filipinos converse in English for the sake of becoming one of those "Class AB wanna be's."
In relations to what I am now or should I say, what am I doing now, I'm using Tagalog language in writing my love stories. Using our own language gives a sweeter impact on the story itself and also to its readers than to translate it to English.

As we all know, Filipinos were tagged for being sweet lovers and romantic people. Most of them relate themselves to some of my love stories suck as "Upuan" (story of 2 ex lovers), "Chubby" (story of not-that-fat teenage girl who fell inlove with two boys who are brothers) and a lot more.

It's been six months when I started writing those stress-reliever broken-heart-mender love stories that caught the interest of not just the modern techy teenagers but also the hopeless romantic young adults nationwide and also around the globe.
