Layla was raised to be her father's bargaining piece - a daughter to be wed for alliances. But fire lived in her veins, and love did not bow to power. In Kalem she found a kindred spirit, a man as cursed as he was free, a wanderer who became her anchor. When betrayal within her village opened the gates to Datu Silang's wrath, everything burned: her people scattered, her father slain, she herself dragged away into darkness. Yet love is not easily crushed. Together, Layla and Kalem will rise from ruin - forging warriors out of fishermen, priestesses out of daughters, and hope out of ashes. Layla and Kalem is a story of love, loss, and rebellion in a precolonial land, where fire and water meet to defy the tide of conquest.

Tala is a 21-year-old first year medical student at the University of the Philippines Philippine General Hospital. Unbeknownst to most, she hails from generations of babaylans, Filipino shamans tasked with appeasing, harnessing, or communicating with spirits of the dead and of nature. While groomed to practice the ancient traditions of her forebears, she must also make her way into the world while protecting her family's legacy, both financially and socially. Though her sheltered youth makes her naive and inexperienced, she is eager to explore. Narciso is a 28-year-old pathology resident trying to juggle work and a family secret that has only barely evaded escape. He is the youngest in a family of aswangs, ordinary humans by day, monstrous shapeshifters by night, able to hide their true nature through stealth, as well as wealth accumulated through generations of assimilation with society through a booming family-owned sugar conglomerate. Narciso is torn between the vagaries of his origins, unwanted family obligations, and his medical vocation. Tala and Narciso eventually meet at the Philippine General Hospital. Narciso has become weary of the world and Tala's enthusiasm, compassion, and innervating conversations are like a breath of fresh air. Despite having different backgrounds and values, the two are inexplicably drawn to each other. Tala quickly discovers that Narciso is far more complex than she initially assumed. As their unlikely friendship grows deeper, Tala begins to understand how fear and ignorance can cause people to be unforgiving, judge others harshly, and make careless, life-altering decisions. Along with this newfound understanding comes a greater appreciation for her own heritage.

" Good Morning Sleeping Beauty, Buti naman at nagising ka na! Pilit kong iniintindi mga sinabi niya ngunit mas lalo lang sumakit ang ulo ko ng marealize kong hindi ko siya kilala pero in fairness gwapo ang mokong. " Nasan ako? Sino ka? Hindi ito ang aking silid! " " Woah! Wait lang, isa isa lang at mahina kalaban. Wag kang masyadong Hot babe!"Natatawa niyang bigkas habang inaalalayan akong bumangon. "Babe? Pinagsasabi mo? Saka pwede ba sabihin mo nga sakin kung sino ka at nasaan ako? Siguro kidnapper ka anu tapos pinagsamantalahan mo ako? Nyaay bading ka? Bakit iba na suot kong damit?" "Wow ha? Assuming ka din nuh? Fyi, nakita lang naman kita nakahandusay sa labas ng bahay ko. Kaya kiya pinasok dito sa kwarto at ndi ako ang nagbihis sayo, Si Manang Threxy. Feeling mo naman... Imbes na magpasalamat ka." Napabuntunghininga ako sa aking narinig. " Sige, pasensiya na. Naguguluhan lang ako. Sagutin mo na ako Nasaang lugar ba ako? " " Hmmp okay cge, Andito ka sa bahay ko, Lucena City Quezon Province. Ikaw tagasan ka? mukhang taga ibang bansa ka base sa looks mo. Pero bakit marunong ka magtagalog? " Nagimbal ako sa aking nalaman. "Ano? ibig sabihin nasa mundo ako ng mga tao? "Oo?

Before the Philippines were colonized by foreign countries, Filipinos have Babaylan who is equally ranked to the status of a chieftain (Datu). The Babaylan guided her people with her knowledge in food, animals, clothing, medicine and other ways of life. Sooner or later, the name of Babaylan was changed into ambularyo, manghihilot and other practitioners. They have expertise in healing with the use of herbs, amulets and other traditional medicines. Today we still have ambularyo and other medical practioners and they are focused to heal the sick and to treat various diseases. #herbal plants #cure #treatment #health #medicine

I always had these made-up characters in my head for the longest time. I can't remember all of them, but they are buried deep in my thoughts. At some times in a day, faces, and details of the characters I imagined would pop in my head, only for them to vanish again in the next few minutes. There were a lot of them, some I named after songs, some I named after my favorite Apex Legend, some of them are named after poems that I have read...some have blue eyes.. some have red hair.. some can pull big-ass swords out of their sweater holes.. and some can turn invisible but only when someone's not looking (trust me, I come up with such random characters with silly powers) Now, I'm writing this short novel, hoping that I could give justice to these characters. To give them life.. to give them a voice.. a passion.. a lover.. and a reason for being created. I don't want them caged in my head. I always took inspiration from Quentin Tarantino's works, and I am hoping to navigate in the same direction as him, though I am in a completely different vessel, far smaller than his. But it's always good to start with something. If you guys have read The Copper Gauntlet and The Magician, you can tell that I took inspiration from those two books as well. I always fancied teenage people having magical powers in a modern setting (like David Stutler in the Sorcerer's Apprentice film back in 2010). Now, I take you to the story of Aloy, a normal teenage boy, who finds himself snared between factions with roots in Philippine folkore.. This story is still a work in progress, and it's not perfect. And yes, the cover image needs some re-work, I bought it online, from one of those Facebook groups for writers.. I'm hoping to get a digital artist soon and to use this platform as a way to eventually publish this book. Again, what you're reading now, and what you're about to read next isn't perfect. But I hope you'll still enjoy it nevertheless.

Hindi inaakala ni Gleah na magbabago ang kaniyang buhay simula nung pumanaw ang kaniyang ina. Naging mahiwaga at puno nang paglalakbay ito na nagbago sa kaniya. Malayo ito sa kaniyang nakagisnan na kung saan ay namulat siya sa katotohan. Maraming mga bagay ang kaniyang pagdadaan upang makamtam ang bagay na kaniyang nais na maunawaan at matuklasan--mga pagsubok na hahamon sa kaniyang puso't isipan--na magpapabago sa kaniyang kapalaran.

This book contains the world building elements and some lore I took from Visayan mythology to make my Bagani Saga stories. I've also added some fragments and pieces from my published and unpublished works here. I hope you enjoy this pedants! 😊 Author's note: As with all world building elements, some of the things here are inspired by facts (or in this case, Visayan mythology and Philippine History). My version does not genuinely follow the local mythology. So, just apply large amounts of suspension of disbelief if you notice something odd. It also extends to the depiction of places or the setting in general. Again, just to be clear this version is not accurate and are purely 'fictionalized'. The author would like to invoke his right to artistic liberties :)

For the people of Maharlika, the supernatural is a familiar terror. Haunted by ghouls, witches, ogres, and sigbins, the townsfolk lived in fear and loathing of these nightmarish beings. Yet, an unexpected arrival or two may just change everything. This story will be coming to Royal Road too as soon as it gets approved!

Long ago, it is said the great Bakunawa, the serpent of the sea and skies, tried to swallow the moons and plunge the world into eternal night. Legends claim the gods struck it down. But legends are often written by the victors - and sometimes, they hide truths darker than the night itself. In a realm where eight ancient clans once stood as pillars of balance, whispers of forgotten power stir again. One by one, young heirs are summoned to fulfill destinies they barely understand - heirs bound not only by bloodlines, but by secrets buried deep in the bones of the world. At the center of it all is Libulan Mayari, a boy unlike any before him - the first male babaylan in a clan where only women were believed capable of wielding the sacred gifts of life, spirit, and healing. Marked by a color he chose himself - pink, the hue of dawn and quiet rebellion - Libulan's very existence shatters ancient traditions. Yet with his rise comes unease, for the old stories begin to crack, revealing something hidden beneath. Together with the other young masters - Thaddeus, Kaiana, and Marcus among others- Libulan embarks on a journey across cursed islands, forgotten temples, and living mountains. Along the way, they encounter creatures of myth - not as monsters, but as relics of a stolen past. The young masters soon realize that the true enemy is not chaos or ancient beasts... but the rewritten history that imprisoned both the Bakunawa and their own clans in chains of lies. As the last moon trembles in the sky, they must decide: Will they protect the world built on falsehoods - or tear it down to reveal the forgotten truth?

My thoughts on Filipino cosmology. Books I'm reading. Craft lessons I'm learning. Questions I can't answer. What it means to be a keeper of stories. Raw. Unfiltered. Real.
