WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.

[Chavez Series #1] I'm not your typical protagonist. I'm no damsel in distress. They can say what they want to say because I really don't care. Ako bilang ako. Hindi ko kailangan mag-adjust para lang magustuhan nila ako. Kung hindi nila ako tanggap. Well, that is not my problem. Nakakatuwa lang isipin na pati 'yata ang buhay ay hindi naging mabait sa akin. Totoo naman kasi ang sabi nila, kung ano ang ginawa mo sa iba ganun din ang gagawin nila sa iyo. So, karma ba ang tawag nila dito? A taste of my own medicine. In the real world, people despise the bad ones but they forget to look at themselves. It's so ironic, isn't it?
