My Skills
Last year, I finally “Googled” myself (Don’t act like you haven’t done it!) and came across with this:
Fil-Am Ako Blog
Someone, whom I’ve never met in my life, was a fan of my writing.
That blogger gave me the push that I needed to continue writing.
I don’t want to categorize my writing because I love to write all sorts of stories.
The best way to get to know me is by reading my posts and stories.
I may have my lazy days, but when I have the urge to tell you a story, I know you will always have the best of me.
Feel free to contact me here. I’d love to hear from you.
