Honestly, pen is a great weapon of mine since childhood. It is basically a tool of diplomacy which I considered more powerful than material and physical weapons. What I could say in words in shouting to ease the pains in my heart due to injustices and the like I am noticing, can be moderately and passionately stated in writing - focusing on the target. What I could not say orally in order not to hurt the feelings of sensitive but ill-persons can be sensibly formed into a constructive message that can be presented to the concerned persons at the right time, right place, and right manner which could be psychologically acceptable. Deep in my mind, I could say that I was... I am... and I would... always be a gladiator - armed with a pen. I know, that those people before who have seen the output of my pen had experienced a subtle strike of the pen's nice word-blades and realized something that would indirectly build themselves - or quietly change to avoid embarrassment of what others would be telling if there was a public acceptance of their mistakes... With the pen in my hand, I was always happy when I observed a sort of a change among people targeted by the strike of my pen... Yes, I am not a perfect person as a holder or gladiator of this weapon, my pen, but I usually feel the satisfaction inside my armoured heart when there was and there is a direct or indirect realization for good - just like what happened to myself when I realized my own mistakes and do something for the better...
It proceeds then to the discovery of my talent in composing songs... the written words, well-thought sentences, and properly designed composition have been labelled with tunes everytime I am holding and playing my guitar. My practical joys, self-realizing heartaches, and self-motivating force of my conscience have been integrated in writing using my simple and less-expensive pen... and dramatized by the partnership of music.
Now, I am not holding a pen, but a keyboard and a mouse of the computer. It is the modernized pen I have. I thank the people who have been instrumental in the inventions of these highly technological things embodied in the so-called computer which can be utilized in transmitting messages and audio-visuals worldwide through the so-called internet webs. I also thank those people who had introduced to me the computer world - its softwares, hardwares, systems, techniques, and other computer-related things.
The power of my pen now goes to another level. The present time of highly technological inventions. My pen now have been experiencing a transformation - from a simple pen to a highly developed expressing machines.
However, I still hold my personal pen wherever I go, just for note-taking.
See you next time, my friends, as we use together the transformed pen that has the power to change the world into a better place to live in and a better world for the next generation... Let my life and its principles be shared to you as I may learn from your lives.
A pleasant day to all!
