Hello, chikits! ☀️
          	
          	Chapter 34 of Bad Idea, You Are is up for reading! We’re just one chapter away from the Epilogue. *ugly cries*
          	
          	When I started this trilogy in 2021, I wasn’t the most consistent due to college. Despite that, this is the first time my stories have received so much attention, and I truly appreciate it. But I also know I haven’t given this trilogy my 100%, which is why I’ve treated it as a trial project, something to learn and grow from.
          	
          	Now that BIYA is nearing its conclusion, I’m excited to officially announce that I’m working on my first official book series: Northern Ilocos Trilogy. My main focus right now is on Loving North, the first book in the series. 
          	
          	Book 3 of my trial trilogy is currently on hold, but I’m working on it alongside this new project.
          	
          	Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me! I hope you’ll join me on this new journey and check out my upcoming stories. If you’d like to stay updated, you can follow my Facebook page (linked in my profile).  
          	
          	Much love, and see you in the next chapter!

Hi author, I just wanted to share a few thoughts. BIYA is one of those stories I never expected to love the way I do now. It found its way into me quietly, and before I realized it, it had already taken root. It’s the kind of story that lingers — not just in the mind, but somewhere deeper, where emotions stay long after the words are gone. It’s hard to explain exactly why it resonates so much, yet it feels so clear. There’s something profoundly human in the way you wrote it — raw, tender, and painfully real.
          
          I was especially moved by Hope’s point of view. The way you wrote her feels so intimate, so quietly powerful. Her chapters aren’t the kind you can skim through; they’re the kind you have to sit with. Her thoughts, her silences, her small ways of breaking and healing — they all carry such honesty. Through her, you made vulnerability feel sacred.
          
          And then there’s Clary’s POV, which gives the story a whole new dimension. From her perspective, you start to see Hope as the red flag — distant, unpredictable, maybe even hard to love. But once you’ve read Hope’s side, everything changes. You begin to understand that she isn’t cold or careless; she’s just someone who’s always running toward the things she loves, yet constantly pulled back by fear. Not because she lacks courage, but because she’s terrified that if she fights for what she wants, history will only repeat itself — that her father will once again take it all away, just as he did before when he stopped her from doing the things that made her feel alive.
          
          She’s a character who was never really given a choice. Her world didn’t allow her that freedom. And that’s why she lives almost like a shadow — quietly trying, striving to be seen, doing everything she can to make her parents recognize her for who she truly is. That part of her story hit me deeply because it feels so real — that silent kind of pain that comes from wanting to be understood by the people who should have known you best.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t completely satisfied with the scene where her father apologized. Maybe that’s intentional, but I felt like even then, Hope didn’t truly let out what she was feeling. It’s as if there were still words left unspoken, emotions still trapped inside her that she couldn’t bring herself to release — and somehow, that hurt even more. It made me realize how much she’s learned to hold herself back, to settle for peace instead of honesty. (this is my take lang po hehe)
            
            But perhaps that’s what makes her story so hauntingly beautiful — it’s not about grand resolutions or perfect closure, but about the quiet survival that follows. About learning to live with what remains unsaid. Hope’s strength isn’t loud; it’s in the way she endures, in how she keeps moving even when she’s still half-broken. And through that, you’ve written something that feels achingly real — a story that breathes, that reminds readers how love, fear, and healing are never simple.
            
            BIYA isn’t just a story to me — it’s an experience, one that speaks softly yet stays loudly in the heart. Thank you for writing something that doesn’t just tell, but feels.

Hi! Good evening, author! I don't usually post something like this but I want to say how wonderful BIYA is. I'm so thankful I stumbled upon such a story, it is well-written for me and really made me cry (my eyes are swelling, no kidding).
          
          I wanna acknowledge how you wrote the characters in BIYA. I love them all so much. The story is a good cry haha. 
          
          I even already accepted that it would totally be understandable if they don't end up together while reading Aechi's POV--but I was still silently hoping them to be endgame, and they did. Although, my heart aches for Luis.
          
          Nonetheless, thank you author for the well-written characters and story.
          
          Looking forward to reading more stories from you!

          It’s been almost a year since my last update (huhu, sorry for that!) but hey, BIYA’s Chapter 9 and 10 is already up for reading. Hopefully, matapos ko siya before the half of the year. I’ve been finding time to write more again nowadays.
          
          Thank you so much for being *super* patient with me.  To my 344 silent (and non) readers, thank you! Salamat ng madami. ❤️
