If God asked me what I wanted for Christmas I would have said the gift of writing. I would have loved for just the right words to come easily and to flow from my mind to paper or blog for that matter. I wish I could share my thoughts in an organized and cohesive manner when writing. Oh and I also wish I could use big words as easily as others do :p One of the writers I admire most is my kuya, the eldest cousin in my mom's side. He's the most intelligent, talented, and gifted person I know and he doesn't come across as condescending or stuck-up unlike some of the smart people I've met. He has this long list of accomplishments plus being the eldest elevates him in a younger cousin's eyes.

I used to be with the school paper back in grade school and high school, at the insistence of my mom. I think she thought that I could write really well given that I loved reading. And being a mom of course, blinded her into believing that her daughter can do just about anything and be good at it :p What I discovered during my stints as a writer was that I can churn out good articles as the deadline approaches but I hated, absoultely HATED deadlines. I swore then that I would never ever get a job that involved timelines and look where I am now. I'm a Project Manager and this is synonymous with the words timeline and launch.

Anyways I've digressed. What am I driving at with my wish. I would really really really want to get into a good business school in the States. I'm going to start with my applications soon and from what I've researched on the Net and from the small gatherings that I've attended sponsored by some schools, essays are a big part not only of their reviews and evaluations but also of the GMAT. So expect more entries in this blog as I "practice" and hone my writing skills. Hahaha!
