みなさん、ブラックフライデーおめでとうございます/¡Feliz Viernes Negro a todos! /Joyeux Black Friday à tous/Happy Black Friday, everyone ★彡
          
          I have some exciting news! If things were to go well, here are the release dates for BIOMETRICS II:
          
          
          • January 1st, 2026 (06:00 GMT+8/09:00 GMT+11) > Chapter 5.2 
          
          • March 1st, 2026 (06:00 GMT+8/09:00 GMT+11) > Chapter 6
          
          • April 5th, 2026 (06:00 GMT+8/08:00 GMT+10) > Chapter 6
          * End of Australian DST 
          
          
          Even though it’s aimed at a much older audience who grew up reading the first book, I had to add disclaimers at the start of every chapter in case things get a little too dark for my young readers. 
          
          Here’s hoping Wattpad doesn’t come after me, too. The platform has basically become like a nanny state (similar to YouTube) at this point where books that happen to swear a bit and have some disturbing scenes like violence or abuse risk getting banned. 
          
          All I could see is Wattpad is training us to write better stories in a much sensible manner. This means no plotless yaoi or age-gap inc*st garbage. No romanticizing serious issues like mental health, abuse and bigotry. Don’t just write fictional characters, but also people.

ヤッホー！感謝祭おめでとうとごございます (Howdy and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone)! ♪(*^^)o∀*∀o(^^*)♪
          
          Also, here’s a fun fact: The Philippines used to celebrate Thanksgiving until it was removed in 1986 after the EDSA revolution. This actually harks back American influences (as the country was once a US colony).
          
          
          
          I hope to come back during the weekends as holy crap! This has got to be one of the most stressful week I ever had. Looking forward to the weekends as I get to work on “AMANDI” and “BIOMETRICS II” ✨✨
          
          Also, has anyone watched Zootopia 2? I hope it’s worth the watch as it seemed promising. It really feels rather nostalgic given how it’s been almost ten years since the first movie came out. 

お久しぶり、みんな! So sorry for not being a lot active as I’ve been pretty bummed since last week. Imagine being pretty chill a few weeks ago until you’re suddenly hit by loads of work (but still love my job!) and drama（T ^ T）
          
          I’m hoping to survive this week because you have no idea how much I value my free time so I can work on my books as well. 
          
          If things were to go smoothly, I should be able to finish making illustrations for Chapter XII of “AMANDI: The Secret Messenger” before December 21st. 

Hey everyone! It's been a little while since I've been a lot busy lately. I know this may not be that important but I decided to rework on the final motivational page of TCOTRB and add another special chapter as the book has continually grown on me.
          
          I also hope people aren't pretty much confused by the themes of the book. In case anyone views it as an insult towards any group or some political propaganda, you'd have to be brain-dead to actually come to that conclusion. 
          
          It is important to know that this is both a reimagining and an inspiration from my own personal experiences as someone who has lived her entire life in the Philippines. Just because you didn't agree with the author and think they're being offensive, it doesn't necessarily mean they're trying to attack you. 
          
          Maybe learn to set aside your personal biases for a sec and consider where they might be coming from. Not everyone is gonna have the same experiences and views as you.

Howdy, folks! Black Friday is just around the corner so starting on November 28th, I will be announcing the official release date for Chapter 6 of BIOMETRICS II ✨
          
          Also, wishing a whole eternity of burning meteor showers on your way, ‘ya stupid bots! >:P

As we’ve just witnessed the worst typhoon yet, now there are explosions in India and Pakistan?! A lot of sources say it’s a terror attack as tension rise between both countries. What is going on in the world right now? (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
          
          I know it’s kind of late at night here and not the best time to be talking about news like these before bed, but toxic positivity just won’t help anyone. This is also to show solidarity to our fellow Indian and Pakistani neighbors. 
          
          To those wondering if I’m actually working on my books, I have been doing just that and right now I’m exhausted from doing all of my laundry. Here’s hoping 2026 would be a great year (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) ✨ 

If your impression on me is “Geez! What an angry woman,” then you’re no better than a pack of monkeys on Twitter who would constantly drag someone through the mud for disagreeing with them.
          
          Yeah, I have anger issues but I am not dangerous! I don’t constantly like to pick fights and just kill someone for no reason (save that diagnosis for the psychopaths). If I’m pissed, it’s either I’m having a bad day or you better stop testing my good patience.
          
          An angry person can be just as chill and kind. Sometimes, they may be too expressive and talk loudly but they’re actually being friendly once you try getting to know them a bit. There is a difference between being blunt versus argumentative. 
          
          “Are you mad?” I’m sorry but I don’t know what made you think I am. 
          
          “Is there a problem here? You seem to be making a fuss so I highly suggest you leave (insert snarky tone)” Yes! It’s your habit of implying I’m the problem without hearing my side is what I take issue with. 
          
          “I wish to agree with you if you express yourself calmly” says the person who’s tone policing me.

As my country recovers from the typhoon, here’s some positive news for a change! Today on November 10th is Sesame Street Day ★彡
          
          
          I am also happy to announce that as I am writing this, “AMANDI” already has a total of 52K+ words and the thirteenth chapter is now in the works. 
          
          It may be a slow progress and there are times I just want to lie down in bed crying all day because life sucks, but sometimes you’ve gotta find the strength to keep on going and not let your disabilities or mental struggles hold you back from doing the things you love.
          
          One thing that motivates me is I may not be an instant hit and get to be the best writer out there but at least I get to learn and grow while also getting to connect with the right audience who could appreciate my works.

Now, pardon the corny-a** title but I’m afraid that “TCOTRB: The Case of The Red Bubble” might have predicted the super typhoon raging over the Philippines right now  \(˚☐˚”)/ 
          
          
          The only difference is in the book, it was called Super Typhoon Angela and totally responsible for the events leading to TCOTRB. I wrote this back in 2022. 
          
          Set in the distant future, the whole country was almost wiped out from the face of the earth and ten years later in 2050, under President Marbles, they were able to rebuild the country into this network of dome islands — which are engineered to shield everyone from tsunamis and typhoons.
          
          All previous records have been lost since the Philippines is far left behind other countries who have shifted to making everything available digitally. This is why a lot of places in the map are different. A lot of people have no recollection of their past lives, including where they lived. 
          
          The reason I’m bringing it up is how scary it is that something which I think is just mere fiction can somehow turn into reality. I don’t want my whole country to disappear. 
          
          Imagine having nowhere else to return to as a monster typhoon the size of the entire archipelago wrecks havoc. Back in my hometown, they’ve just raised Signal no. 3 and there was no power. In other places, there were floods already reaching the rooftops.
          
          TCOTRB is basically the ideal version of the Philippines. Unless there’s positive changes in our government and people finally start taking good care of the environment, our country would not be able to survive in the future.
