CLARO aka CLARK - a 31 years old Seaman gradweyt at scholar ng Heavy Equipment ng F.F. Cruz. Sinong mag aakala na magiging Kusinero sa Barko ng minsang may nkilala ang nanay nya sa ospital na Kapitan ng Barko. Accidentally met and became friends ang nanay nya at ang kapitan na ngrefer sa kanya sa kumpanya na pingttrabahuhan nya. Nagsimula sa pagiging messman noong taong 2005 hanggang 2007 at napromote bilang Chief Cook noong 2008 hanggang nagyon ito ang kanyang propesyon. Masaya na malungkot ang buhay ng seaman ayon sa kanya, masaya dhil libre mo na lilibot ang mundo - sa katunayan siya ngayon ay nasa New Orleans. Malungkot dahil ang kalaban mo dito ay pangungulila sa pamilya at mga mahal mo sa buhay. Sabi nga nila "No place like home". Sa katunayan nga kausap nya lamang ang kanyang "fiancee" sa skype biyernes hindi nito mapigilang hindi lumuha dahil sa pangungulila. Lakas ng loob at tibay ng sikmura para sa lungkot ng buhay at dambuhalang alon ang kailangan para sa mga gustong magseaman ika nga nya.
Hindi panghabang buhay ang pagseaseaman ika nga ni Claro. Siya ay nakatakdang ikasal sa babaeng nagsusulat nito ngayon at nangako na 4 na taon nlng na pagsasakay at dito na sya sa lupa.
- Ang litrato ay kuha sa paborito nyang pasyalan ang COPACABANA kasama niya ay ang katrabaho nya sa barko.
The stories you experience, hear and observe each day are parts of your work, thoughts, desires, failures, successes, heartaches and personal life. That might be why a close friend or relative has once said to you, “You should write a book.” Did you have an excuse not to do so? Did you think that you don’t have the talent, the time or the resources to do it? Think again. You do have enough skills, resources and time. These are secondary. The primary thing is the content. If you have a good story, one that is based on actual events, facts, experiences, these will certainly be of interest to a certain group of people. As they say, it is what you write, not how well you write it. You may have poor grammar or spelling skills, but these can be easily edited by a proof reader. But the content is based on beautiful marriage of imagination and real life events drama.
Thus, when you start to write and involve yourself in the writing process devoted to sharing your life experiences, you begin to live an examined life. Living an examined life provides insight, healing and catharsis. In addition, as reflected in Eastern philosophy, when you heal and help yourself, you likewise heal and help others.
Do not employ writing as a stage to publicly embarrass those who have hurt or wronged you. Being able to take revenge and get back through written words may feel good in the short term, but it may backfire in the long run. While the practice of recording personal events may be a way of understanding enemies or people who have hurt us, it shows a level of immaturity ad comes at the price of distrust from other people who are going to work with us now and in the future, because they may fear getting the same treatment from you. It may be a better course to publicize these stories as a work of fiction. If someone asks what inspired the plot, the proper response could then just simply be a polite smile.
It is also important to remember that if an average person who reads your story, or sees it on a movie screen, television, etc., can identify with the people you are writing about, then you need this person’s written permission. But if the people in your story are not recognizable as specific individuals, because location, age, ethnicity, etc. are different, then obviously you have no need to secure anyone's permission to write and sell your story.
