NEW STORY: THE FOOLS’ FOOLPROOF PLAN
          
          - academic rivals pero lowest rank ang hinahabol
          - revenge planning 101 (not-so-palpak)
          - bad girl x shy boy
          - (slight) comedy
          - chaotic high school circle
          
          Revenge is Regina Quizon's hobby, especially for the assholes who hurt her and besmirched her name. Hindi siya mauubusan ng letra mula A hanggang Z para sa mga plano niya. With the help of her friends, they're on one of the biggest mission yet: bring down the bastards who spread Regina's private pictures. The stakes? Pangalan at dignidad niya lang din naman. 
          
          Pero ano pa bang pakialam niya do'n? She doesn't care even if she gets hurt in the process of hurting them, as long as she can give them the same misery. 
          
          Her second mission? Have her name on the last spot of the school rankings. Come their classroom's angel Haniel Cañete, who's competing with her for the same spot, and mysteriously offering his help for their plan. 
          
          Will four strong willed fools achieve their foolproof plan?
          
          All The Magic We Made meets Spread Your Wings, Dorothea in this new high school set novella as Regina plans to take down the assholes who gave her misery.

Announcement regarding my older work:
          
          I skimmed through some parts of If The Rain Won't Stop today, and found some really 'questionable' scenes and lines that don't really resonate well with me anymore as a writer. And, goodness, nakakahiya. 
          
          My stories are not perfect, but I know that that is not enough reason to be careless with what I write and publish publicly. 
          
          If The Rain Won't Stop is a remarkable novel for me. Dito ko inumpisahang sumulat ng mas mature na character at mas malalim na mga themes. It's my only novel, as of now, that won The Wattys 2018. My most read so far with 150K+.
          
           However, I wrote it when I was really young and not mature enough to fully understand the themes that I'm tackling. And looking back, I realized how I failed to give the proper execution to the message of the story, as well as the problematic lines and scenes.
          
          Because of this, I'm unpublishing the story. The fact that there are 150K+ readers who have read it is really embarassing; seeing how the story unfolds and how underwhelming it was. Nakakapamghinayang, but I'd rather have fewer reads for my latest novels for now with better writing than having hundred thousand reads for an old story that is questionable. 
          
          Kung kakayanin, pero hindi ko pinapangako, susubukan kong i-revise kung maisasalba pa.  Then I will probably publish it again. I cannot promise that, tho, as I actually want to just focus on my upcoming novels instead.
          
          By January 20, 2022, unfornately, If The Rain Won't Stop will be unpublish. Please understand why I'm doing this, and don't worry, my other novels are free to read and I hope my latest stories will give you a better entertainment. Thank you very much. 
          
          
          Always,
          Zi Ann

Hi! I started writing on Wattpad in 2016 and it's been seven years. Mostly sa mga naka-publish kong story ay nasulat noong bata pa lang ako. And there are lot of things, that I've written that don't resonate with me anymore or won't be writing now that I'm older. 
          
          This leads to the point that if ever you've read anything that is offensive or inappropriate in my works, especially the old ones, please don't hesitate to message me so I would be able to acknowledge your concern. I'll be rereading some of my past works during my free time. Though hindi gano'n karami ang free time ko since i'm balancing writing, arts and studying at the same time. As much as I want to really check everything, I can't do that quickly. 
          
          If ever you see changes in my works, please know that it's because I'm editing to make them better. Rough draft version lahat ng naka-post, tho 'yong mga most recent works na-eedit ko before posting, most of my old works are unedited and first draft versions. Yes, editing the first draft even if it's posted online is only normal, especially if it means to make the story better. 
          
          I'm still thinking if I would unpublish some stories, i.e. If The Rain Won't Stop (I admit na after years, I'm not sure if I was able to convey the right message or execute the story properly in this one naghiwalay sila dahil possessive ang guy at naging toxic ang relationship, got back together after years when he gets 'better'.  Isa 'to sa mga pinag-iisipan ko talaga kung i-uunpublish ko na dahil hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang pagkaka-execute ng theme which is very sensitive, I think. And also to add that I was very young when I wrote this one), Treacherous Romance and Could You Still Love Me?.
          
          Medyo hirap din akong mag-decide because although they're old and I think they're not good, they're still special to me. They remind me how much I've improved through the years and how I was able to be the writer that I am today because of them.
          
          That's all. Thank you!
          
          Always, 
          Zi Ann
