Welcome to my Technical Writing Blog!

My name is Yvette Alyzza Manalo. I have been existing in this world for eighteen years. I'm from the Philippines but currently I'm living here in Queens,New York. I am studying at LaGuardia Community College, major in Civil Engineering.  I am planning to get a bachelors degree at City College of New York. Right now I am taking my time because I am not yet sure of what I want and what I need in my life because there is a lot of things that I want to do. But there is one thing that I am sure that I want right now, and that is to help people. I know that there is a lot of ways that you can help others but I came from a country that doesn't have any good living; family that don't have any homes, children lying on the streets, crimes everywhere and so much more. That is the reason why I am taking Civil Engineering to make a better and safer place of living for everyone.  

Every morning I'm taking bus  for transportation, sitting in the bus full of people all I can hear is silence, all I can see are people with their phones, iPods and tablets. And I admit I am one of those people. Technology affected the life of everyone. I know that technology is not all about the tablets, phones, computers and iPods. Technology have also coffee maker, spectrometer, calculator and so much more. But the technology that we are interested in and has a more connection to us is the gadgets. Technology help us build the highest tower in the world. Technology help us to discover a new cancer medicine. It help us a lot. But for me, I think what we have today is enough. I hate how people never get contented with their life. That is why I hate myself because I am one of them.

For the past few years  I hate writing and reading. But I love math, the calculations, the problems and the analyzing. And it is one of the reasons why I am taking civil engineering. I hate reading because I cannot get it in my mind. It was very hard to understand what is the story. Like when I started reading twilight, I can't understand anything from it so I ended up re-reading it again and again and again until I finally gave up. But now, I enjoy reading science fiction stories. I have read five books since this year started.I don't know what happened but it just happened. But I still don't read articles it  is confusing.  In writing, my feelings about it hasn't changed. I can't put my thoughts together. It is hard for me to interpret it. I am writing in my journal but in my own language and it is not regularly.
