Sorry if I wasn’t able to update — sobrang busy talaga last week. But I’m so happy to finally share that I’m now officially pinned as a Pre-Service Teacher! 
          
          Yesterday was such a rollercoaster of emotions. Morning was my pinning ceremony, and by afternoon, my mom had to leave papuntang Cavite to take care of my sister who’s pregnant. But despite her hectic schedule, she still made sure to be there and personally pin me before she leaves— something I’ll treasure forever. Seeing her proud of me is a feeling I’ll never forget.
          
          Honestly, I never planned to take this path. From my grandparents to my cousins — almost everyone in the family are teachers, including my mom — so I really wanted to choose something different. I once dreamed of becoming an architect, even enrolled myself as a nursing student, but I shifted in second sem 'cause life had other plans for me.
          
          And now, standing here as a proud student teacher, I finally understand why my family chose this profession. Teaching isn’t just a career — it’s a calling, a purpose, and a legacy I’m proud to continue. ✨

To everyone affected by the recent earthquake in the Philippines — especially in Baguio, Cebu, and Davao — my thoughts and prayers are with you. I may not be famous, and this may just be a small platform, but I still want to reach out and let you know that I’m praying for your safety and strength.
          
          I know it’s been hard and scary for many of you, but please hold on and keep believing that things will get better soon. May God continue to protect you, your families, and everyone helping on the ground.
          
          Stay strong, Baguio. Stay strong, Cebu. Stay strong, Davao. We’re all with you.

Good evening, everyone!
          Sorry if I wasn’t able to update these past few days. It’s examination week, and since we’re already in our 4th year, wala na kaming exams. We’re just waiting for deployment, but right now naka-duty kami as proctors.
          
          Nakakapagod din, to be honest. Some students can be makulit, pero most of them are very welcoming. Nakakatuwa rin kasi it’s our first time proctoring. It made me realize how far we’ve come—na dati, kami yung nag-eexam, and now, kami na yung nagbabantay. Malayo na yung narating, pero marami pang haharapin.
          
          As for updates, this week has been exhausting, so expect uploads next week. May drafts na ako ready, but for now, I’ll focus on duty first. Thanks for understanding, and see you on the next update!
          

✨ Midnight Announcement ✨
          
          I have something big to share with you all… Kisses That We Never Tell will not end just yet.  Instead, I’ve decided to add 5 more chapters (not including the epilogue), which means the story will wrap up at 45 chapters in total. (Instead of ending it in 40 chapters, why not make it 45?)
          
          Why the extension? Because this is where all the secrets, all the truths, and all the surprises finally come to light. And honestly, I couldn’t just let it end flat or hanging—I needed to give this story the ending it truly deserves.
          
          Expect twists. Expect revelations. And most of all, expect the unexpected. 
          
          So buckle up, because the real game begins now. Love you all for staying with me on this journey. 
          

 Chapter 36 is out now! 
          “On the shores of Malamawi, old scars resurface—but so does the love worth bleeding for. Will second chances finally heal what was once broken?”

Hi guys! 
          Grabe, super busy ako lately kasi we’re preparing for our upcoming pinning ceremony. After that, madedeploy na kami for our field study, kaya todo mental and physical prep muna ako, dahil ayaw ko namang humarap sa mga students na not prepared and kinakabahan. Kaya ayun, medyo na-late ako sa updates hehe.
          
          But don’t worry! Tomorrow I’ll drop 2 chapters  Hopefully, matapos ko na rin ma-publish tong book before deployment. Promise I’ll do my best to finish the series soon para makalipat na rin ako sa mga susunod kong kwento—ang dami ko pa kasing ideas and stories to share with you guys. ✨
          
          Actually, I didn’t want to end Gio and Jared’s story pa kasi feeling ko, among the three stories, this one really has the strongest build-up of plot twists. From the very beginning, I already planned that in the third book all the conflicts from Books 1 and 2 —lahat ng nangyari ay magkakaroon ng sagot. And yes, the mastermind behind it all is Astrid. That’s why sobrang pinag-iisipan ko bawat chapter. I make sure everything is well-written, carefully built up, and that each plot point smoothly connects to the twists I’m planning.
          
          So please look forward to it, and thank you so much for staying with me throughout this journey!  (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

Happy Bisexuality day! (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)

Hi guys, good evening.
          Pasensya na kung ngayon lang ako nakapag-post, I’ve been really sick earlier. Pero sabi nga, better late than never.
          
          I just want to express my thoughts about the recent rally. Honestly, ang sakit isipin na as much as I wanted to be there physically, I couldn’t—dahil I’m all the way down the bottom part of the Philippine map. Kaya all I can do is use my platform. I may not be famous, but at least I can speak, I can share, and I can use my voice to stand with everyone.
          
          I’ll admit, I made wrong choices before. I wasn’t educated about politics, I didn’t know better, and I regret it deeply. But regret without change is useless, kaya ngayon I’m trying to learn more, to study more, to open my eyes, and to share what I’ve learned. This time, I refuse to stay silent.
          
          The rally gave us something powerful—it gave us the courage to say enough is enough. To let the corrupt know that we see them, we’re angry, and we will not just sit and watch. Hindi biro ang pinaghihirapan ng magulang natin araw-araw. They break their backs just to give us a better life, and yet these greedy politicians steal from us like parasites, living in luxury with money they did not earn. Nakakagalit. Nakakasuka.
          
          And the worst part? When people stand up, may mga kababayan tayong nasasaktan, binabaril, pinapatahimik. This is not just politics anymore—this is life and death, this is the future of our country, this is about justice. Kaya please, let’s pray for those who were there, for those who risked their safety to fight for what’s right.
          
          We need to remind ourselves—hindi normal ang magnakaw, hindi normal ang pagsisinungaling, at hindi normal ang pang-aapi. Let’s normalize shaming corruption, not tolerating it.
          
          Let them pay.
          Panagutan at makulong silang lahat!
          Ang tunay na lakas ay nasa atin—sa iisang boses, sa iisang sigaw para sa bayan.

Chapter 34: "The Weight of Remembering"
          Sometimes, the answers we run from are the very truths that set us free. Between unspoken confessions, family wounds, and the pain of a love almost lost, Gio begins to realize that forgetting was never the real escape—it was only postponing the inevitable pull of the past.
          
          ✨ Only 7 chapters left before Kisses That We Never Tell reaches its end. Every chapter from here on is a step closer to the final goodbye. ✨
