I'm looking for first principles of philosophy or logic in general, Given the fact that I still suck in logical reasoning.

Pick up a discrete math textbook. It will certainly have several chapters on propositional and predicate logic. Work through those, do the problems, and you'll have a good foundation for logical reasoning.
