“ARE YOU CRAVING FOR ‘SOMETHING’ THESE DAYS?”
          	
          	Atheia’s gone, but her ghost never stopped talking. Dawson knows it can’t be her—yet her name flickers on his phone’s notification bar.
          	
          	Three photos. No captions. Each one drags him deeper into the night he tried to forget. A nightmare that bleeds into reality.
          	
          	And as the shadows whisper his name, Dawson learns that some desires don’t die.
          	
          	They wait. Watching. Starving.

It’s been 4 months since my presence stumbled here lol
          
          Hello, folks! Long time no see!
          
          I know, I know… Ang tagal kong nawala at bigla rin akong nawala pagkatapos kong i-published ‘yong latest draft ko na “Malaya” (link at the comment section hihi), but I am here tonight to pop out from my void after many ages. I’ll be honest: a lot of things have happened in the past few months (especially after publishing Malaya), and I suddenly had a serious matter to deal with in the past 2 weeks.
          
          Anyway, since our school days are over (and even though we are now having our on-the-job training starting this vacation), I decided to release a few drafts that have been locked up in my vault for eons. I’m still not going to be too active here in my writing space, though, but I’ll publish them for the next couple of weeks and months (or when I get a bit of spare time again).
          
          I think that’s it for now, though sobrang na-miss kong tumambay at mag-post rito, but you already know me with my hectic schedule and personal matters. I’m not guaranteeing you’ll have my regular postings here, but I’ll try my best to at least post that I’m still alive (and probably while fangirling lol). you so much for sticking with me until now, even though I’ve been inactive here for a long time. Until next time, and may you live until you die!

Sa bawat pagbiyahe ko sa malamig na gabi, tila may bahagi pa rin sa akin ang naiiwan. O baka nama’y hindi na talaga ako nakaalis—o makaaalis.
          
          Sabi nila, malaya na ako. Ngunit sa puso kong bihag pa rin ng nakaraan, na pilit kong binabaon sa limot, isang tanong ang patuloy na bumabagabag sa akin: nakalaya na ba talaga ako?

          Good evening, folks! For my first complete small project this 2025, I wrote this story that also came from one of my school activities a few months ago (I spiced this version a bit to match the vibes of my other stories)! Heavy Filipino-written too, but hey, I enjoyed writing this one even though it made me cry for a bit (read “for a bit” as “a lot” lmao). 
          
          Title: Malaya
          Genre: Short Story,

          To be honest, I was about to cancel publishing this one because I’m dealing with some heavy stuff tonight, but I still decided to continue it to at least lessen the pain and burden from my heart right now. I hope that you’ll check and support this one and also have a peaceful night—not like mine. May you live until you die...

Hello, folks! Eli’s here—how are you?
          
          Sorry for being inactive (again) for a while—school life and personal errands have kept me too busy in the past few weeks T^T But for now, I have a few updates so you can have updates on my progress as a writer:
          
          1. Eli’s Guidebooks Unpublished for Major Revisions
          ╰┈➤ I’ve decided to unpublish all three volumes of Eli’s Guidebooks to make massive revisions. While slowly writing my current story projects offline, I’m also refining the world-building for all of my stories. Right now, I need to revise many parts of it to make my entire lore more cohesive (yep, my galaxy brain is to blame for this one lol).
          
          2. Books and Story Releases Will Take a While
          ╰┈➤ For those who are waiting for my new books and stories this year, it might take some time before I can publish anything due to my hectic schedule. Despite being often inactive here, rest assured that I’m still writing my drafts offline! Ang hirap lang talagang isingit ang hobbies while juggling schoolworks and personal errands.
          
          3. Rebranding and Self-Promotion Plans
          ╰┈➤ I’m planning to refine my presence as a writer—especially in how I post updates and promote myself online. But don’t worry folks! My love for purple and my meticulous book layouts are here to stay. It’s just my artist-ass brain telling me that I should upgrade my branding and promote myself here soon
          
          I think that’s it for now! Thank you so much for sticking with me and I’ll share more updates soon. Until next time—may you live until you die!

For today’s event:
          ✦ 4th anniversary of Vide Noir (No. 1, LH Series) + Wesley and his mother Lileigh’s birthday!
          
          ╰┈➤ First of all, thank you for your non-stop support for this story from the very start since 2021! I never thought how far this story would go but hey—look at my non-stop achievements too! One of the best so far is that WattpadFantasyPH added VN to one of their reading lists last December, and dang, I still can’t believe it though until these days.
          
          I also know that I am not too active here again because of my studies and priorities in my personal life. Rest assured that I have continuous plans to do and many drafts for the LH Series to be released soon—but for tonight, let’s celebrate its 4th anniversary on Wattpad!
          
          Ah, that’s it for tonight, folks! I just posted this here while I’m in the middle of doing my endless schoolworks (lol). Until next time, may you live until you die!

yesterday (january 19) was indeed the start of another new chapter of my life—and somehow i am both excited and anxious at the same time. i don't know what are the things i'm about to encounter on the next few months, especially as a writer here. but of course, no matter what happened, i will still give my best to create unique masterpiece and will leave a wonderful trace as an artist.
          
          ah yes, welcome to your 21-year-old now, self! i hope you'll become the best version you wanna be in your future✨

2024 has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for me as a writer. But despite changing plans for my main projects, I don’t have regrets releasing these 6 books this year! I’m also thankful to have big and small achievements with all my books on Wattpad. 
          
          For 2025, I can’t promise you all for more upcoming projects since school and personal life will be my main priority again, but rest assured that I will not stop writing stories offline—and why not, unexpected books will come. 
          
          I hope that everyone’s having a good time on this last day of 2024—the same as the start of your 2025. May you live until you die✨
