"Got something on your mind? Ask me anything."

1. Who or what is your biggest influence as a writer? - purple_porpoise

>>> My biggest influence is my Mom.  She is not a writer but I remember her telling me fairy tales when I was a child.  We have this old thick book filled with fairy tales she used to read to me.

2. Would you rather have a book published or travel around the world? - purple_porpoise

>>> I would rather have a book published.  Then maybe I will use the money from the sales to travel the world.  ^_^

3. Bakit "chemistry" ang tawag sa malakas na attraction sa pagitan ng dalawang tao? Hindi ba dapat "gravity"? - purple_porpoise

>>> Sa tingin ko, ito ay dahil may iba't ibang phases ang attraction sa pagitan ng dalawang tao at every phase ay may ibang chemical compounds na involved.  Sa gravity kasi, walang ganung phasing.  Feeling ko lang.  Basta basta na lang kasi nahuhulog kapag gravity (wehehehe!  corny).

4. Kung papipiliin ka sa pagitan ng iyong kasalukuyang trabaho at pagsusulat, ano ang mas gusto mong gawin? - ChantalCruz30

>>> Ang kasalukuyan kong trabaho ay chemistry teacher.  Mas gusto kong maging teacher kaysa magsulat kasi nakakatuwa yung interaction with students.

5. Aling lugar sa earth ang gusto mong mapuntahan at bakit? - ChantalCruz30

>>> Greece at Egypt!  Patay na patay ako sa Greek ang Egyptian mythology at gusto kong makita yung lugar kung saan sila nagmula.

6. Kung magiging isa kang enchanted/mythical creature sa loob ng isang araw, anong creature ang gusto mong maging, at bakit? - ChantalCruz30

>>> Honestly?  Sirena.  Hahahaha!  Gusto ko kasing lumangoy at kumanta.  Hindi kasi ako marunong lumangoy at kumanta eh sirena lang yung alam kong kayang gawin yung dalawang yun.

7. Kung gagawin mong fantasy characters ang mga presidential candidates ng 2016 elections magiging anu-ano sila? Give at least 3 of them. - ReddHumann

>>> Ang hirap nito!  Si Beanay ay lich.  Si Duderdee ay ogre.  Si Fow ay unicorn.  Si Rowkhaz ay gnome.  Si Merriam ay harpy.

8. Anu-anu ang special abilities nila? - ReddHumann

>>> Siryoso?  Yung lich ay necromancy.  Bubuhay siya ng minions niya na zombiefied.  Yung ogre ay blood bath skill.  Kapag rage mode siya, patay lahat ng dadaanan niya.  Yung unicorn ay rainbow dazzle na lalabas sa horn niya.  Hypnotic yung wave na yun na may pink sparkles.  Yung gnome ay earth shatter.  Kaya niyang magpataob ng buong palasyo.  Yung harpy ay ultrasonic voice.  Lahat ng makikinig sa boses niya, mahihilo.

9. Sino ang pakakasalan mo, papatayin at hindi papansinin sa kanila? - ReddHumann

>>> Pahirap nang pahirap yun tanong.  Wala namang sinabing dapat iboto di ba?  Hahahaha!  Pakakasalan ko yung unicorn.  Papatayin ko yung lich.  Hindi ko papansinin yung gnome.

10. If the technology was available, would you choose to live forever? Why or why not? - purple_porpoise

>>> No.  I believe the essence of being alive is only attained when you die... and world peace!  ^_^

11. Where did you learn of the folklores your placed in your work "Thera?" -kit_mccartney

>>> For the Philippine folklores, I heard them from my grandmother.  She used to tell me stories about these things.  For the foreign folklores, I just search the internet.

12. What is your most terrifying monster?  The one that haunted you as a child? e.g. sandman, kapre, aswang -kit_mccartney

>>> The most terrifying monster for me (if we can call it a monster) is the white lady.

13. If you would go to Japan and stay in a Japanese house for a few days, what do you think will happen? -kit_mccartney

>>> I think I will experience pure bliss.  ^_^
