1. Ano ang favorite genre mo sa literature? (libranages)

Ang favorite kong genre ay Epic/ High Fantasy, actually kalian lang ako nahook sa fantasy genre. Dati hindi ko siya hilig. Isa pang genre na ngayon ko lang nagugustuhan ay Non-Fiction, I'm currently reading The Diary of Anne Frank and that sparked my interest in that genre.

2. Ano ang favorite outdoor activity mo? (libranages)

I'm not much of an outdoor person mostly because I'm an introvert but someday I'd like to go hiking. That sounds like fun.

3. Ano ang favorite indoor activity mo? (libranages)

Marami. I love reading books, sketching, watching movies and TV Series (Especially Game of Thrones.) Last but not the least, isa sa favorite kong pastime is writing stories here in Wattpad.

4. Kung posible ang life after death, ano ang gusto mong reincarnation? (libranages)

I'd like to be a dog kasi everyone love dogs , they're so cheerful and good natured. Pwede rin akong maging tao sa future life ko yung tipong ibang tao na ako pero medyo naaalala ko yung past life ko. In a way parang hindi rin ako namatay. I just became a another person.

5. Naniniwala ka ba sa mga multo? (libranages)

Neutral ako when it comes to ghosts. Naniniwala ako na mayroon tayong espiritu at kaluluwa pero hindi pa ako convinced na totoo ang mga multo na nananakot in the realm of the living. A part of me wants to believe na totoo sila pero hindi ko pa naeexperienced na makakita ng multo so I can't say. Naexperienced ko nang mayakap ang namatay kong tito sa aking panaginip nung kamamatay lang niya but I can't say na multo siya dahil sa panaginip lang iyon.

6. sa sarili mong opinyon, ano ang pinakamalaking pagkakamali ni prince Oberyn? (kit_mccartney)

Sa tingin ko masyado siyang naging kampante at mayabang. Alam na naman ng lahat na si Lord Tywin talaga ang nag-utos sa The Mountain na patayin yung kapatid at mga pamangkin niya. Pinatay na niya dapat si Gregor Clegane kaysa pinaglaruan pa niya, naging mitsa pa tuloy ng buhay niya at sa huli siya pa ang napatay.

7. What is your considerable "fear"? as in borderline phobia... (kit_mccartney)

Hindi ko masabi kasi napakarami kong bagay na kinatatakutan. I think mayroon akong Social Anxiety Disorder, I'm not the most confident person you'll ever meet. Most people think that I'm weird and awkward. Isa sa pinakakinatatakutan ko ay ang magsalita sa harap ng maraming tao. Hahaha may stage fright ako.

8. Kelan ka nag-umpisang magsulat? (kit_mccartney)

When I was 8. Mostly tungkol sa mga animals ang isinusulat ko.

9. Have you ever considered referring to or mimicking "martial law" to your secondary creation? (kit_mccartney)

That's a very good question. Yes, I've considered mimicking it. Actually napakaraming real life events ang aking kinoconsider as an inspiration for Books 2 and 3 at isa doon ang Martial Law. By the end of Book 1 things will not be the same as it was before. Magkakagulo na sa Buong Lupain at magkakaroon ng malaking giyera na kahalintulad noong sa World War 2. There will be a Hitler-like figure who will persecute a certain race. There will be an event similar to the Holocaust, Bataan Death March and many more. Pero siyempre dahil Epic Fantasy ito, magkakaroon ng twists.

10. Other than writing anu pang creative endeavor ang pinagkakaabalahan mo? (ReddHumann)

Sketching, nag-aaral ako kung paano magrealistic sketching, although di pa ako gaanong kagaling.

11. What kind of story do you want to write other than the featured work? (ReddHumann)

I want to write a Historical Fiction through the eyes of a Filipino Soldier during World War 2, hindi pa nga lang ako nakakaisip kung paano ito simulan.

12. Do you write short stories? (ReddHumann)

Yes, noong bata pa ako puro short stories ang sinusulat ko. Ngayon plano kong magsulat ng short story that will take place in the World of Questing Heirs. Ang laki ng mundong aking nilikha at maraming short stories and anthology ang pwedeng maisulat.

13. What inspires you to write? (ReddHumann)

Marami akong inspirations eh. Kung iisa-isahin ko ang haba. Isa sa inspirations ko ay yung mga librong nabasa at movies na napanood ko lalo na kung kapupulutan ng aral. Gusto ko talagang magsulat story na may lesson. Inspirations ko rin sila George R.R. Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Dr. Jose Rizal and many more. Yung mga personal experience ko rin, they served as major inspiration in my writing and I'll try to incorpoerate my experiences to my story.

14. Do you have an actual writing routine? (ReddHumann)

Mas nakakapagfocus ako magsulat kapag mag-isa lalo na sa gabi, kaya lang hindi ako makatulog kapag gabi ako nagsusulat. I set a schedule kung kailan ako free at doon ako magsusulat. Hindi na ako nagsusulat kapag gabi na.

15. When did you started and why did you started writing? (ReddHumann)

Nagsimula akong magsulat when I was 8. Gumagawa ako ng mga komiks strip tungkol sa cartoon animals, Nagdodrawing rin kasi ako, Siguro dahil na rin sa panonood ko ng mga cartoons at Disney Movies kaya ako naengganyong magsulat. I write because it makes me happy. Marami akong ideas sa isip ko na gustong maibahagi sa mundo and I can do that through writing. It's my passion, it gives me a sense of importance, parang nawawala yung mga problema ko tuwing nagsusulat ako isa pa gusto ko rin maging inspiration sa maraming tao. I want to touch lives. Gusto ko yung tipong kahit matagal na akong wala, I will be remembered for generations because of my writing. I want it to be my legacy.

16. Who among the characters in Game of Thrones are you most similar to in terms of personality? In what ways? (purple-porpoise)

Samwell Tarly mostly because we're both shy and awkward, we're not active and we both love reading history books.

17. What advice would you give your younger self? (purple-porpoise)

Play more, worry less and be more mature.

18. Anu-ano ang mga gusto mo ma-achieve sa pagsusulat? (purple-porpoise)

I want to be a famous fantasy writer like Tolkien and Martin, win a Hugo Award at makaimbento rin ng sarili kong genre.

19. Which fantasy land would you like to live in and why? (purple-porpoise)

Terabithia, kasi yung mga kaaway ko magiging monsters doon at pwede ko silang patayin.

20. Kung ikaw ay isang senador/congressman, anong klaseng batas ang ipapasa mo at bakit? (purple-porpoise)

Anti-Discrimination Law, kasi gusto kong mawala any forms of discrimination. We are all human beings and we deserved to live in peace.
