Gabrielle Beltran

Just turned the big 3-O recently. Although some people thought I'm a high school student.
          
          I have been so busy with things that I haven't been updating my work, and I'm always tired by the time I get home. I don't feel pressured anyway to update my books since I only do it for fun, but I do want to be more available for it.
          
          Right now, I'm entering a few new eras of my life.
          
          
          - Baking
          
          Due to these hard times, I discovered my love for baking. Mom has been starting an Indonesian food business since we used to live in Indonesia. She'll be in charge of the dishes while I'm at desserts, pastries, etc.
          
          - Flipping burgers 
          
          Same reason as before, My family is also starting a burger joint kinda business. My brother usually does this, but he's busy with other stuff, so I had to step up for the time being. 
          
          - Sewing
          
          This isn't new, but I had to take hold of it because... well... my sewing machine broke, huhuhu. Right now, I'm saving to buy a new one, which is why I'm very involved with the family business. Moreover, I'm brainstorming new styles of my work.
          
          
          - Pink hair 
          
          Still TBD. I didn't get to do this last year because I didn't have the time. Unfortunately, the bleach in my hair is gone. My mom kept bugging me about it after telling her that I could not my scalp for it.
          
          - Learning to speak French
          
          I know. Cliché. I know how to speak Tagalog and Bahasa Indonesia. A few years ago, I studied speaking and writing Japanese, thinking that I would go there to study. Anyway, there's no use in speaking French in my daily life, yet I still want to learn. For fun, that's all.
          
          The thing is, I learned how to speak a few useful phrases in French before going to Europe via Tiktok (I know, lame), and I get to speak those phrases in France and they were like okay with it (I don't but whatever, right?). Regardless, it felt awesome, and it made me want to learn more. Just not in formal classes, though. Just self learn. Again. For fun, that's all.

Today was so upsetting. My dog has been coughing and wheezing. So, my brother and I decided to bring him to the vet. 
          
          Here's the thing. I live in a province, and there aren't a lot of vets in the area, despite many people here having pets.
          
          First, we went to the ones where we usually go since it's more affordable and 'claim' to be 24/7. Unfortunately, no doctors were available to help me because the only doctor there was in the middle of an operation, and it would take a long time to wait.
          
          Next, we went to the other vet, but it was a bit pricier than the first one, yet that's okay because I would do anything for my dog. However, it was a cut-off time. Which also means there are no doctors available. 
          
          the last one. Well.. It's the same as the previous one.
          
          In the end, my brother and I decided we'll try again tomorrow, but hearing my dog cough breaks my heart. He seems normal and happy as usual, but dogs tend to hide pain very well, so yeah *insert crying emoji* and all I can do now is hope that it won't get worse or that it's not that serious.
          
          But still... the first vet should've been reliable if they claim to be 24/7. Regardless, if it's in the province. There should have been at least one more doctor available, not just to me but to other sick pets in need.

I'm not sure what Wattpads' problem is, but the chapters in some of my works have been rearranged. Does anyone else have that issue? 
          
          Anyway, if readers decide to read my book, please make sure you're reading the right chapter.
          
          

It was the last day of the bazaar, and I sold tons of the product I made (makeup pouches) with my own two hands. It really touched my heart that the people who bought them loved it, and a few of them have offered me something big because of it. 
          
          Well, it was fun, but I missed writing. After two long weeks of selling and sewing, I can finally relax for a bit by updating my work.

I noticed my pug has been gaining weight. I'm not strict with his diet or anything, but it made me wonder since I only feed him twice a day (morning and evening).
          
          That was when I caught my mom, my sister, my niece, and my niece's nanny giving him food as well even when it's not feeding time. 

Gonna be really busy with my business this month. I will be attending bazaars and fulfilling some orders for my clients. My boxy pouches are selling like hotcakes.
          
          I wouldn't be able to update my work. Not that I have been consistent. Anyhow, I will still be able to make time for my reading partners.

Hi guys! I have been updating chapters in Mango Graham Charm. I'm just putting it out there. As much as I wanted to invite readers for a read for read, I couldn't yet because I'm packed with reading partners.
          
          Anyway, you are more than welcome to check it out to get a feel of the story.
          
           どうもありがとうございます！

Heyyy it's been a while sorry about that but you read chapter 17 and then started all the way from chapter 1 was that a mistake?
