Discovering the gift of writing

Writing is a gift for the chosen few, some discovered their talents early on in life, but in my case, it was at a later stage as I breached my golden years.
While studying in the University, there were no manifestations that I can write creatively. As an Engineering student, we were more inclined into the mastery of technical report writing. The style of which is relatively different than what I am doing in my blogs and articles.

Is it wisdom or age that paved the way to write a good blog or article? On the other hand, is it because blogging is the latest craze in town? 
It was sometime last year, when my relative who was a priest renovated his parish church, and was asking around for some donations that I made my first attempt into writing articles, and some notes in a social networking site. I tried to join a travel story contest, and a share your story contest on the family of OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) category in local websites. It is in the hope that whatever contributor’s fee I got will be donated to his parish. The inspiration from friends in Face book and some private messages on my notes were overwhelming that made me try blogging.
From then on, it made me realize that there is always a first time, and that first leads to the second and perhaps to the nth time.  We are never too old or young enough to explore our untapped potentials that are deeply rooted and needs to be unearthed from each of us. As I invade the magical world of writing, I hope to share further to my followers and readers, some words of wisdom from my domestic and international travels, and life's experiences as a whole. Let it be one of the best legacies that I can leave behind, as I traveled down the roads in this journey called "life" whether by air, land, or sea. This time, my articles will be signed with my maiden name appended to my married name, in memory of my late father.
