Yo! I'm poppin' out again to share an update about why I'm still in hiatus.
          	
          	My job contract was not renewed and I've become unemployed since July. I'm currently applying at various places but so far, I'm a still a NEET as of date. Aside from that, I've become the driver of our family. I run errands and other stuff like that. We're also renovating my grandfather's house.
          	
          	As for natural disasters, we felt several earthquakes these past few months. We've also been hit by a super typhoon last 4th of November 2025. Most of our area still does not have electricity. Mobile network signal was restored just yesterday and the only way to connect online is to use mobile data.
          	
          	Are we okay? Yes. There's no casualty in our hometown. There are a lot of broken trees, though. Ya know, the usual. Strong typhoon, various kinds of damages. Nothing new, nothing we couldn't handle.
          	
          	Currently, we are still continuing the renovation of my grandfather's house. That's what's keeping me busy these few months. It's still not done, but we hope to finish it before Christmas.
          	
          	As for my ongoing stories, I still want to continue writing them but in all honesty, I don't know when I can release new chapters. Despite that, I'll try my best to release one new chapter for STRAY FOX on the first half of December, and another one on the second half of December for DOPAMINE. Hopefully, I can achieve this goal somehow.
          	
          	Before I end my long status update, I want to say thank you to all of you guys for still being here and supporting me. Your reads, votes and comments make me happy. I am really grateful to you guys and I wish you all the best. Stay safe.

Yo! Is anyone here? I'm back from the abyss! (it took so long T_T )
          
          I'm sorry because I went on hiatus without any announcements AGAIN. I usually don't share much of the details, but as I'm thinking about what I should type for the post message, I just found myself saying, "Why not?"
          
          So, I wrote it on "Random Things!!!!!!!!!!" under the chapter "07 - My Literally Long Montage" because I exceeded my word limit here.
          
          I hope you guys will continue to be patient with me. Thank you so much for all your support. I really appreciate all of your reads, votes and comments on my stories and I'm very grateful for your messages.
          
          Stay healthy and safe! See you guys! ^_^

O///O Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. I'm still on my "write-delete" phase for the new chapter of Stray Fox, but I'm slowly getting my thoughts and words gathered to progress the fanfic. Hope you'll enjoy it when I finally finish and release it. ^_^

Yo!
          
          I'm sorry to inform you guys that the release of chapter 17 of Stray Fox, which was supposed to be today, will be moved some day within this week (1st week of September). Various stuff happened that made me unable to finish my draft for the chapter.
          
          Hopefully, when I'm finally able to release it, you guys will enjoy reading it. ^_^

Hey! How have you been . 
          
          I recently read your books and I am in love with your writing. Especially the book stray fox . I hope you post another chapter soon . 
          
          Take care and stay safe !! ^⁠_⁠^

black_oruga

@Ranpoandkarl Yo! Thank you very much for loving my writing. I really appreciate it.
            
            I'm actually planning on releasing a new chapter of Stray Fox by the end of the month! Just gonna do a bit more tweaking and all that. Hopefully, you'll enjoy and love it, too, once it's released.
            
            Take care to you, too, and stay safe! ^_^

Yo!
          
          Happy birthday, Kita Shinsuke!
          
          I wanted to publish Chapter 16 of Stray Fox on this special day, but it's already 10:45PM when I posted this message and I am still not done typing/reading/erasing/editing the last part of the chapter. As I'm punching in the letters, my eyelids would drop down. It's raining and it's cold and I just wanna cuddle with my pillow to sleep. My pillow's so warm and fluffy, although my family would disagree about that since it's actually heavy.
          
          I will try and release the new chapter as soon as I possibly can.
          
          Thank you and have a good night!
          ^_^

Yo!
          
          How have you guys been? I know I've been gone and I haven't updated much. Again. I'm so sorry.
          
          Two weeks ago, I was about to release Chapter 15 of Stray Fox but then I kept changing my mind on how I should route my sequencing of events for the story. Because of it, I kept deleting, adding, deleting again and so on that I still haven't published it just yet. I want to be able to release it before the month ends but knowing myself, I think it'd take a bit longer than that.
          
          Recently, I stumbled upon the news of Kuroo (yes, Kuroo Tetsurou from Haikyuu!!) has been appointed a real life position in the JVA (Japan Volleyball Association). In celebration of this, I made a very short Post-timeskip Kuroo x Reader thread about it. You guys can check it out if want to. ^_^

Yo!
          
          Thank you guys for still being here even though I've been away from Wattpad for a long, long time and I haven't update both Stray Fox and Dopamine (my current ongoing fanfictions), yet here I am, releasing a oneshot instead. (*sighs* Why are you like this, huh, Author-chan?!) I truly appreciate you guys since you still read my works, leave comments, vote and some even re-read them. I'm also grateful that you guys are still here. You guys even check up on me and I'm really glad for it.
          
          These past few months have been a ride for me, mostly work related. To put it simply, I left my old job and now have a new one. It's still eating away most of my time, so I gues you could say that my schedule's still hectic. haha.. That being said, I'm fine. I'm happy with my current work and the experiences along with it.
          
          As for the status of both Stray Fox and Dopamine, the drafts for thwir respective new chapters are still not done. I keep finding myself writing some lines and then deleting some lines. I just couldn't put what I have in mind into words to properly convey what I wanted to convey. Still, I will keep writing them and I will definitely publish them as soon as I am satisfied with what I have written.
          
          Once again, thank you very much! ^_^

Just checking to see if you're alive. No pressure in updating any of your stories. ❤

black_oruga

@virginia_claret Yo, I'm still alive!! haha.. Thanks for checking up on me. I'm thankful for it, actually. P.S.: The drafts for my ongoing stories are (not really sure if it is but I'd say that it is) progressing. Had written a bunch and then erasing a bunch. Just wanting to make sure that I could convey what I wanted to convey.
