Payb Takes

Message From The Ilusyonada

1 MILLION!!!

Wooot!!! I can hardly believe it.  In all seriousness and sincerity, I cried so hard when I saw it. My Twitter pemily could attest to this. I was a total nut job for atleast an hour, crying and laughing and everything in between.

Even my 3-year old daughter witnessed my emotional state.

Bibi: Mama, bakit ka cwying? *wiped my tears with her crayon-smelling hands*

Me: *bawled out,touched with her little gesture* I'm just so happy, sweetheart. *sniff*

Bibi: *jumped up and down* Yehey! *ran around the room celebrating not knowing what for*

Me: *watched her and laughed so hard, I started crying again* <<<< THAT is how crazy I was earlier, ladies and gentlemen.  LOL

But, really, above all the overwhelming emotions. I am GRATEFUL. Grateful to all of you, Payb Takes readers, for making this possible. What started as a simple drabble to ward off the bad vibes from the bashing of RJ back in February, is now a story on Wattpad with one million reads. I am amazed. I still could not believe it. I never planned and expected for this to happen. It just did. I wrote what my heart told me to write, chapter after chapter, until here we are.

THANK YOU for all your support and love for Payb Takes RJ and Meng. Every view, every vote, every comment, touched my heart. Nakakataba po talaga ng puso. MARAMING SALAMAT PO. I can not say this enough. =)

I have a confession to make. I planned to close this book when we reach 1M reads. I told the pemily and they all recommended against it. Well, I did ask the most emotional, sentimental and multipolar bunch of people I have met in my life, but with what they said I decided to keep Payb Takes open. Sabi ko nga dati, hanggang may MAICHARD may Payb Takes which means you will have to bear with me forever.

So, instead of closing PT, I will be preparing Payb surprises to celebrate our 1M mark.

1. A revelation: As announced earlier in Twitter. I revealed that I am Admin M of @United4MAICHARD for those who have been trying to figure out who the wacky admins in that account are, that's one down for you. =)

2. A new book cover. (I didn't actually prepare it personally. LOL. A friend volunteered to make one so we'll watch out for that tomorrow.)

3. A fulfilled promise. (Yes, you know what it is. I am still gathering the courage to make it happen but I definitely will. Funny-nindigan ko to. hahahaha)

4. A special chapter. =) I am taking a prompt from my Writing Goddess @LittleEmpireGirl I hope I don't disappoint her. *hides behind my desk*

5. A new MAICHARD fanfic book. I am still deciding exactly what kind. hahaha.. but I will have one soon. =)

Now, please allow me to mention a few special people to thank. =)

My pemily (Oh my Gosh!) who are always there to support me in every way then can. I love you with all my heart.

My sis idol @mjcathy24 who introduced me to Wattpad and mentored me from my baby steps in writing until now. Love you, sis.

My harot family @TeamSMH , I have learned so much from all of you and I continue to improve to be atleast be half as good as a writer as you. 

Again, Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. =)

xoxo
