          When You Let God Take the Wheel of Your Life
          
          Becoming a published author was never one of my childhood dreams—it didn’t even cross my mind. I dreamed of becoming many things, but an author was never one of them. (I thought it was out of my league.) Just like how I never aspired to graduate from a course related to Engineering Technology. I still remember how I cried out of fear—fear of failing in a path I never expected to take. I didn’t choose it; it was handed to me.
          
          But look how it turned out—I soared with flying colors in fields I never thought I’d excel in, let alone grow passionate about. Truly, God moves in mysterious ways.
          
          As I quote a stanza from my book “Tears Into Stars”:
          
          My plans often strayed from His will,
          But now that I’ve let go, I feel lighter.
          Today, I’m living a life I never dreamed—
          But one I needed; and it became the best thing ever.
          
          Thank you to my ever-supportive family—especially my loving mother, who never stopped believing in me and praying for me. To the BET-MMT faculty, thank you for not giving up on us and for your constant guidance. To MSU-IIT, thank you for the quality education. To my partner and all my friends who smiled genuinely and cared sincerely throughout this journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
          
          This is our victory.
          
          To God be all the glory.

          Happy National Author's Day! 
          
          I've always been a lover of books, captivated by stories told from the wondrous perspectives of human souls. I started with children's books, then stumbled upon eBooks (Wattpad), PDFs, and—best of all, to me—physical books. I'm not much of an outgoing person; I prefer staying at home during my free time. Through books, or even just a piece of literature, I'm able to roam diverse realms, uncover the many facets of life’s realities, and delve into the creative domain of fiction.
          
          I am deeply grateful to be blessed with the ability to read and the opportunity to discover the works of brilliant authors from around the world. Today, I’d like to give myself a small pat on the back, as I have also become an author. I’m still a novice, but Jesus paved the way for me, unlocking doors that led to sharing my words with the world.
          
          Thank you to all the individuals who have helped and joined me on this journey as a writer and author. I believe this isn’t mere coincidence; our fates are bound to coincide and I’m truly honored to learn and grow with each of you.
          
          This is just the beginning. May my heart continue to recognize and follow God’s will for me each day and in the future. To God be all the glory.

NOVEL COLLABORATION 
          
          I’m thrilled to share that Ylisle Rkive and I, Rose R. Sales @AmaranthineBriar, have released our first-ever story collaboration on Wattpad in the Fantasy-Romance genre! The entire story is written in English, inviting everyone to join us on this journey of love touched by the supernatural.
          
          We’ll be posting chapters gradually instead of releasing the whole book at once, giving us a chance to gather feedback, thoughts, and comments from future readers. Isn’t that exciting? Since we’re not just authors but close friends, this approach makes storytelling even more engaging, serving as a memento of our friendship. We hope that through this collaboration, our writing skills will grow as we bring this wonderful story to life.
          
          Have you already joined this adventure, where "the threads of fate are yours to weave"? Oops! Spoiler alert! 
          
          Follow @YlisleRkive on Wattpad, where we’ve published our story. Hopefully, it will be released as a physical book soon, God willing.
          
          Leave a comment there, and we’ll dedicate the next chapter to you! We can’t wait to have you along for the ride! ✨

I updated my Wattpad account! 
          
          This was my first Wattpad account. Since 2014, reader account ko na talaga ito, and my top favorite stories simula pa dati ay ang "He's Into Her" ni maxinejiji, "The Apostle Thirteen" (Book 1&2) ni altheadelarama, and "Wizard's Tale Trilogy" ni Aegyodaydreamer. Though I have read a lot of stories na, old and new, but these are my comfort stories, 'yong tipong more than 5 times ko na inulit basahin. Hahahahaha
          
          Isa rin ako sa mga nagsusulat ng story na hindi matapos-tapos dati. Hahahah Marami akong drafts! Now, after 10 years, published author na rin ako! Hindi ko ineexpect na magiging poetry author ako. Thanks, God.
          
          Soon, sana matapos namin 'tong novel/story na sinusulat namin ni @YlisleRkive, and it will be my first-ever finished story, hopefully. At sana matapos ko rin 'yong mga drafts ko dati, one step at time lang muna. 
          
          For now, I'm not sure if mag-pupublish ako ng works dito sa account na 'to since I am active talaga sa pages ko na "Letters to the Universe" at "The Rose behind the Stained Glass". Siguro, I'll publish some short stories here, or maybe poetry? Ewan, depende. Hehe
          
          Pero sa ngayon, I just want to be a reader here, and I want to show my support by using this account
          
          'Yon lang. Thank you! Happy reading, happy writing!
