Master Aries

(Kahit anong gawin kong pagpapaikli, wala talaga, nakakainis na bakit 2,000 words lang hahah)
          
          Ang pangit na I kept wishing for opportunities or made writing part of my New Year’s reso in 2025. Like, I even set a goal: to finish a story, kahit isa lang before end of December. I did publish Wake Up, Dream, but I never finished it— overwhelmed and burned out again, thanks to all the back-to-back story quests in my games.
          
          Nakakainis. Nakakairita. Pero lamang ‘yung lungkot at hinayang sa sarili talaga.
          
          Now it’s 2026. The usual temptation would be to just update the year in my bio and not write again. Fudge hahah. Pero hindi. This isn’t a promise coz clearly those are meant to be broken. I won’t change it at hayaan na isang taon na naman ang masayang.
          
          I really love writing. I mean, the fact that I can write my ideas, my fantasy, my imagination means something to me. I want to share them. I want this to be my safe place again.
          
          Yeah… Strs, silent readers or not, thank you for reading my stories. Sobrang na-appreciate ko ‘yung mga nagvovote pa rin sa mga stories ko kahit hindi sila tapos, ‘yung mga nagpopost sa conversation board asking for updates. It shows na I matter. It’s been five years yet someone’s still waiting for me.
          
          Wait, this is getting dramatic. I just want a reminder, something I can shout at myself: that I love this talent, this passion or whatever this is. That the stories, the characters I gave beautiful names to because I hated my own real name, matter. They are important. They deserve to be written and shared. As well as the readers, my Strs are important.
          
          So, I’m not gonna unpublished Wake Up, Dream gaya ng nangyari sa Seven Dimensions dahil lang inabot ng isang buwan na walang update haha. Tatapusin ko siya coz I love Dreamort. I’ll also need to come back to Talla and Vegeia, and to give life to my other characters— Curse, Velcival, and Arquette.
          
          Feel free to remove this in your convo board. Sorry if nag drama pa ako rito hehe :P

Happy New Year, y’all!! I hope that whoever is reading this gets to live a blissful life this 2026. Always remember that you are a star even in the darkness night.
          
          Anyway, I’m writing this for something good. A reminder that I need to change myself. Ngayon kasi na wala akong ginagawa, I’m being hit by that overwhelming regret about writing again. And that’s when it hit me— it’s been five years.
          
          July 24, 2022, was my last update for GG Season 2. I ended up putting it on hold, and the OOTTOS chapters I thought would only take a month to revise have now been unpublished for a whole year.
          
          Cringe pakinggan, but I felt like I lost myself. I lost Aries.
          
          Alam ko namang normal lang ‘yung writer’s block, but it became my biggest problem. Sinamahan pa siya ng laziness, acad pressure, and the environment around me wasn’t good. Lahat ‘yun nagkaroon ng negative impact. To start, I became obsessed with perfection, deleting and rewriting scenes whenever something felt “not enough” or repetitive. Dahil maingay, physically and mentally, tingin ko lahat ng mga nagagawa ko ay hindi magaganda, kasi nga dapat lahat perpekto. So, I’d take breaks, but nothing moved forward. Eventually, I leaned even more into gaming. Story-driven games like Genshin, HSR, WUWA, and others kept pulling my imagination into new drafts. It’s toxic, tbh. Writing a new story while starting another one, lol.
          
          It was only in mid-2025 that I tried coming back and rebranding myself, from RainboWonderland to AriesCrainbow. Pero wala pa ring nangyari.
          
          That’s when the disappointment really started. Envy crept in too, as Filo BL stories gained recognition. I don’t know why. Pero kasi ‘yung thought na I wasn’t doing anything to make my dream of having my own story turned into a book, or even getting recognized really bothered me. Tapos 5 years. I feel like.. no, I wasted five years. 
          
          I keep wondering why I let myself go for that long… Wasn’t that break already enough? Bakit ko pinabayaan ‘yung sarili ko haha.

update pls TT

Sorry for plugging my story here, but I just want to recommend it to everyone. If you're interested in BL fantasy stories related to online games, this might be the one you're looking for. Thank you so much, and I hope you'll check out my story!

Under revision pa rin po ba ang one of the stars

Bakit nawala po yung one of a thousand stars, i'm gonna read it again po sana

Happy 4th year anniversary as a bl author, Rai!!
          
          I'm so thankful dahil kahit hindi na ako madalas magsulat, o si Rai haha, natutulungan pa rin ako ng platform na ito na maitakas ako sa mga bagay na pansamantalang gusto kong takasan. Anyway, appreciation post lang ito, so no need for drama, lol.
          
          Thank you rin sayo, oo ikaw na nagbabasa ngayon. Wala ka rito, hindi mo ito binabasa ngayon kung wala kang nabasa sa mga istorya ko (Assuming haha). Kaya, salamat sayo sa pagsuporta, whether you're a silent reader or not, I hope you know that it means a lot to me, that I really appreciate it, especially those who are waiting for book 2 of Talla's story hahah. Sobrang dami kong draft story kaya minsan naiinis na rin ako sa sarili ko dahil wala pa akong naipapublish na bago at kumpleto, hays.
          
          For all that, Wonders or Strs, I hope that at the opening of my four years, or Rai's as a bl author here on Wattpad, you will (still) support my upcoming stories. Have a good night everyone!

4!!
          
          Wake Up, Dream is almost two months late, yes nakakairita haha. Pasensya na, writer's block again, but with the upcoming fourth year as Rai being author here in Wonderland, I will not let myself do nothing. So, for the past four years, the word 'Under Major Revision' is still in the title of One of the Thousands of Stars, funny isn't it? Four years lol. Anyway, I'm going to gradually unpublish the chapters at buong ipa-publish kapag maayos na.
          
          There will also be new book covers for stories that have already been published. In Stay Alive in the Maze, when I was doing the cover book of it last week, until now it's a puzzle and I'm still asking myself if it's worth giving or making a part/book 2. Ang dami ko kasing draft stories from 2020 to 2022 huhu, pero pag-iisipan ko talaga ng mabuti lalo pa't cliffhanger 'yung ending 'di ba? But.. I know I'm talksht haha, I'm not following the deadline I gave to other stories, the ones that should be published like WUD, Seven Dimensions na nagkaroon ng less than 650 reads last last month but I hope someone still supports Rai. And if there is, thank you! Highly appreciate guys. Okay enough, too dramatic hahah.
          
          On March 24, happy 4th year Rai!!

Happy 100K reads on One of the Thousands of Stars, my second published bl story here in Wattpad. Thank you to those who supported and read it, sobrang na-appreciate ko na before Jan 1 ay na reach niya 'yung 100K, nakakakilig! Don't worry, I'll revise it na huhu. The book 2 is also on going now, totoo na talaga 'to promise haha. But Wake Up, Dream will be published first this coming January 2024. Happy new year by the way guys!! Take care always.
          
          Love, Rai.

Na saan napo ang book 2 nag one of the thousands of stars
