Hello, my happy readers! Happy new year! How was y’all guys’ holidays?
          	
          	Me, I got so dang busy! I went to multiple social gatherings and got to reconnect with a lot of my friends and family. Then, I took advantage of the colder weather to drive and detox and chill on parks, mountains, and A LOT of coffee shops. Also, I paid extra attention to setting the things that I want to achieve and accomplish this 2025, putting it up on vision boards and multiple goal trackers.
          	
          	See? I was REALLY busy! HAHA I know the updates for my ongoing books thinned out the past month(s), but I will always try to give y’all a taste of one of your sweetest obsessions (AKA my written novels) whenever an idea pops out from spaced out mind! xD
          	
          	I pray and hope that for this year 2025, may the Lord bless our hearts with peace, forgiveness, good health, and the blessings that we want and deserve! Let’s normalize speaking positivity and being proud and happy for another person’s success. I love you all, my happy readers! <3
          	
          	XOXO

          	  I hope you had a blast nitong pasko at bagong taon! And I speak blessing to our whole 2025. Magpakabait tayong mabuti at wag puro selpon! haha

@yoobeepbeep27 Awww ~ You're always so sweet! And I bet what you did with your friends with that bingo thing is super enjoyable! Ugh. I miss my younger days where my friends and I also have ample time for each other to just goof off like that :( haha
          	  
          	  And I also got the flu later this December until almost half of January! I think it was just the season. But I gained weight because of it since I can't go out and do my usual run :( Anyway, I hope your health is all good now!
          	  
          	  Let's cheers to a prosperous 2025!!! :D

I got the notification for the new chapter but when I click for it, it’s not there. Did you unpublish it? Or is Wattpad just being weird again? 

yoobeepbeep27

@1happy_bear oh I get you friend! Adulting is hard work these days haha. My stories aren’t going anywhere so read them at your own pace <3

@yoobeepbeep27 Alright! I promise to drop by your account when I get the time! I just can't promise anything right now :( My adulting life is sooo adulting these days! (If you get what I mean hahaha) Keeping the Once More, Love series afloat outside of my full time work and familial responsibilities is already occupying so much of me. But I'm sure everything is worth it so I'm trying to keep up with this fast paced life! <3

Hello happy readers! Warning: This is going to be a bit personal.
          
          I started writing a couple years back because I was in the middle of battling with depression. Back then, it was my way of escaping reality and focusing on something else, letting time pass by without me worrying a single thing in the world. Two years have passed, and I have a total of 9 books published which all totals to almost a million words.
          
          But even before I joined Wattpad, I was already a serial TLDR person. If I’m someone close to you in person, you'd expect me to write long, witty captions in social media or I’ll send you a lengthy #fighting message when you’re struggling.
          
          ANYWAY. Before I revel too much of myself and shed a tear or two, this post is to just tell everyone that I’m changing my username!
          
          From “@wansu_twaysu” to “@1happy_bear”
          
          First, because I didn’t put much thought in my username when I started here. I just wanted to write. Everything else didn’t have to have a special meaning. To be honest, I never even thought I’d still be here after two years! Well, thanks to all of you my happy followers and readers who keeps on showing love to my works! I owe a part of this journey to you! <3
          
          And second, I want to try and join watty’s... someday? haha So, by the power vested in me through manifesting, I want a meaningful name when they call my username during the announcement of me winning with my book for an award. hahahaha
          
          In any case you’re wondering about the username I'm changing into… “happy” is for some reason, along the way, I happen to have picked up and began addressing you guys as “happy readers”. I’m using that adjective because it will always remind me of you all. (Awwww ~)
          
          And then the “bear” is because it has a lot of meaning in my life right now which I could share maybe next time when I’m... braver? HAHA! But fun reveal! I’m also changing my picture here to a shot of my dog named “Kuma” which literally translates to “bear” in Japanese!
          
          P.S. I love you guys!

1happy_bear

@EmDorkX Awww~ Thank you! <3 And I think the earliest watty's I will be trying to join is 2025. haha!

@yoobeepbeep27 hahahaha Don't worry, I'm also trying to get used to this new username. It's a tie for the both of us! xD
            As for Kuma's pictures, I promise to surprise you with one in the upcoming chapters! (I just need to get a good shot. He's so wiggly and energetic all the time. He just can't stay put! hahaha)

Hello happy readers!
          
          I'm going to be honest with you. I thought keeping the Michaeng vibe after the confirmation of Chaeng’s dating rumor will be so hard that I might as well just discontinue One More, Love.
          
          However... !!!
          
          Seeing the stats of both the One More, Love and Imperfectly Perfect series go up every single day may it be in minimal read counts, votes, or comments gives me inevitable motivation to just keep going and going and going.
          
          I keep on saying “My fellow ONCE readers deserve more. They deserve continuation and closure.”
          
          So... !!!
          While I could've just rushed everything ended the story right then and there...
          Once More, Love is going book 4! *mind blown emoji*
          Let me furnish the final chapter of book 3, then start cooking up the final book of the series! *wink wink*
          
          (Yeah. I dropped an announcement just like that. HAHA)
          
          Love y’all! <3

@hinahapongpuso You're welcome <3 And I totally get you! Our michaeng hearts were for sure broken! </3 But that's what the imagine stories are for! Para kunyari hindi masyadong masakit. hahaha

1happy_bear

@yoobeepbeep27 As always, my next steps are not much of a surprise to you. Are you sure we're two different people? hahaha I also have my own share of witnessing michaeng books getting discontinued by its authors. It was just plain sad. But, yeah. We're going on a different direction here! We're continuing and finishing the series! <3 Oh, and let me say I love you too! haha :*

@EmDorkX You're welcome, dear! Let's see this series to the end! ;)

1happy_bear

Posting this because I just want to think this out loud. (In this case, think while writing in a post because that's what I kind of do here in Wattpad haha)
          
          One reader named "BlackMampa8" commented on Once More, Love 2 saying "I actually hate 2yeon in this story *snob emoji*"
          
          And I was like... umm... so, why are you already in book 2 if you don't like it? Just drop the series and go away. You don’t vote for the chapters and give any support, but you thought it’s okay to complain out of the blue? Don’t say mean things to my sensitive heart who could be overly dramatic at times because that’s what a writer tends to do. (See? Haha)
          
          Can't really please everybody, huh? S/he isn't the first one to give me that kind of attitude in the comments anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I love constructive criticism. I once received a detailed comment about how I could improve my chapters and I was so thankful to that reader because it helped me learn new things.
          
          Moving on….
          
          You noticed how I never asked for people to vote or comment or follow me or whatever? It's not like I don't like receiving it, of course I love it! I am beyond happy when my iPad dings and Wattpad has a notification saying, "You have a new follower." Or someone commented on this chapter or voted for this book.
          
          But the real reason behind why I don't explicitly ask for it is because I believe in quality, not quantity. I want people who genuinely think that what I do here is worth spending their precious time with.
          
          Because that is what keeps me going.
          
          You. Your interesting comments. Your overwhelming votes. Your sincere praises. That is what has been keeping me going here in Wattpad. That is what has been motivating me to pursue the ideas in my head and share it with the people who truly appreciate it.
          
          So, to all of you who has been there with me in this journey, I want y'all to know that I love you guys. You are awesome people and I appreciate you as much as you appreciate me. God bless us all!

@yoobeepbeep27 Happy Vaentine's Day too! (Though the reply is already late so I hope you had a good day last 14th! Spill the teas! haha) 
            
            But, seriously. You're one of my go-to people here and I can't word it out more how I'm happy to have you. Thank you for all the support! :*

@EmDorkX I already checked the user's profile (like a proper stalker haha) and s/he just joined Wattpad last year with no one following, no followers, no posted stories, and not even a reading list.
            
            A bit late but I hope you had a happy heart's day! :D And thank you so much for the support here! *insert blush-y face*

Have you noticed? Yeah, I’m guilty of that. XD
          
          The updates are slowing down! (But I swear it'll still be faster than most of the other fanfic book out there *insert smirk emoji* HAHA)
          
          Honestly, I think I am one of the busiest persons on earth right now! With the big holidays approaching and the year ending, everything is hectic as hell. I have been traveling a lot to catch up with friends… to attend family gatherings… to do stuff in the office... Not to mention work is already on that phase where we hustle for the last hurrah at our yearly deliverables… I’m not gonna lie, my mind is all over the place! My schedule is packed! This is exhausting! (But I can’t be exhausted. I just can’t. Life is still good, and I must live it well. haha)
          
          This message is just to assure that I will never drop the book. Like ever! I still write whenever I have the chance and… I think there is going to be a book 3 for Once More, Love! (AHHHHH *girl screams* HAHA)
          
          Cheers happy readers! Stay safe! Love you all!

Hello People of Wattpad! I come in peace. (Really haha)
          
          Work has been taking a toll on me this week and unfortunately, I think I need to drown a little more before I get out of the woods.
          
          SO!
          
          Let me take a break for now. I promise to be back again next week with exciting development with Once More, Love 2! :*
          
          Stay healthy and stay safe everyone! <3

My thoughts for more than a week now: "I don't think one book will do justice to all of the plot of Once More, Love."

Omg, you literally read my mind! Are you spying on me??? I was going to ask if you were planning to write more than one book because it seems like there is much more to this story. 
Reply

1happy_bear

Hello!
          
          To those who might've read already the "Jeongyeon Oppa" chapter of "Once More, Love" which I published hours ago, I re-published it now and removed the latter part about Momo!
          
          It should be a flash back but after rereading it, it occurred to me that I wrote it like it was still in the present. My bad! >.<
          
          Anyway, I'll just bump it up for another 2yeon chapter in the future. I promise that the JeongMo arrangement there won't change, so no worries! ;)
          
          ( Maybe, just consider yourself some kind of seer who had a chance a look into a future chapter! XD )
          
          Stay safe, you lovely peeps! <3

@yoobeepbeep27 So far, I'm not seeing any love triangle in my current chapter drafts. But I don't want to speak with absolute certainty for now! xD

yoobeepbeep27

That makes sense. I was worried we were going to have a love triangle with NaJeongMo
