Hi everyone!
          	
          	I haven't been here in a while. I know the last time I had an update was back in 2018. Life happened.
          	
          	I started college in 2018. I met new friends, prioritized my studies and eventually forgot about writing. I took up BA Communication: Major in Broadcasting, Minor in Speech Communication. Honestly, it burnt me out. I felt like all my creative juices were squeezed out of me. I did not even pursue the line of work related to my course.
          	
          	Fortunately, I landed a job right after graduation. The day I graduated and was at the bus stop to go home, I got a call that I had a job offer waiting for me. It's been 3+ years since it happened. I'm still working for that same company but has switched roles twice now.
          	
          	I love the mundane and repetitive nature of an operations role but it burns me out as it is load heavy and the operations role I held meant no holidays. I hated it. We didn't experience the flexibility the company has promised because of the management of the team.
          	
          	I'm now in HR, a talent acquisition coordinator AU,NZ, JP. So far I am loving it but I am having a hard time catching up with colleagues. In our small team, I am the youngest. I am doing above and beyond and I feel more recognized in this role. The flexibility is given, holidays are being spent well, and the work-balance culture is back!
          	
          	Now, I am back here in Wattpad as I want to have a platform to express myself again. I am slowly regaining my creative juices. But I cannot promise that I will be consistent and will be posting a lot. I may post here and there and may disappear again. 
          	
          	This platform has been my safe space and continues to be. I am anonymous but also known here. I do not have friends and family on here which retains my anonymity, but I am also able to show my true face and name for my works. 
          	
          	I'm happy to be back, I am hoping that all of you are all doing well and still doing the things you love!

Hi! I’ll be making a come-back with a new story! I’ll be publishing it soon but updates will be slow since I’m doing my best to improve the quality of stories you’ll be reading from me. 
          
          I hope you like the new contents I’ve been creating.

Hello readers!
          
          I know its been a long time since nung huli kong update and post ng bagong story. I’m so sorry! Ilang beses na akong nagpromise na babawi ako pero di ko magawang panindigan yung sinabi ko. Its because of school and all that. I hope you understand. Syempre, di ako running for honors pero onti na lang keri na, kaso ayoko, stress lang kapag may honor, tapos student leader pa ako. Then may immersion/OJT na kami since grade 12 na ako. I really do hope na maiintindihan niyo na mahirap nang humabol kasi kahit gusto mong magsulat, di mo magawa sa dami ng ginagawa sa school.
          
          I assure you naman na may tatlo akong on going pa ang writing at editing kaya I’m sure pag natapos ko yung tatlong yun, may maipambabawi na ako sa inyo. Yay!
          
          Thank you everyone who have been reading, voting and leaving comments on my stories. I really appreciate them!
