"Some people write stories. I preserve the ghosts they leave behind."

I am a Filipino writer, poet, and Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English whose work lives somewhere between literature and memory. I write verse novels, lyrical prose, and contemporary poetry that explore longing, nostalgia, faith, mythology, and the quiet ache of becoming. My stories are less concerned with happy endings than with the beautiful ruins people leave inside one another.

Inspired by the cinematic melancholy of Lana Del Rey, the intimacy of confessional poetry, and the timeless elegance of classical literature, my writing embraces rich symbolism, religious imagery, and dreamlike atmospheres. Every line is crafted to feel like a forgotten diary entry, an old photograph fading beneath sunlight, or a prayer whispered before dusk.

Although I am still at the beginning of my literary journey, I approach every project with the discipline of an artist and the curiosity of a lifelong student of language. As an English education student, I continue to deepen my understanding of literature, poetry, and storytelling-not only to teach them one day, but to create works that remain with readers long after the final page.

I believe the greatest stories are not always the loudest. Sometimes they are the ones that linger quietly in your chest years after you've forgotten the plot.
