Hallo!
          	
          	It's been years since I last posted, I think? And I didn't mean to leave everyone hanging and wondering where I'd been or when I'll be posting again. A lot of you had already left this platform, but some are still here. New ones have arrived, it seems. I still read your messages and comments to this day, and I'm grateful. Wholeheartedly and genuinely grateful.
          	
          	I started my journey as "mochiminie" when I was 17. My first fanfiction was Huening Kai's "Our Last Summer," and since then, it has held a special spot deep in my heart. I figured, in the middle of my hiatus 2 years ago, that I'd use that plot to build a more complex, thought-out lore for my creative writing course in college. 
          	
          	I have. The lore of Hyuka the spirit sits in my notes until now. I have written dozens of revisions to the original plot, and I had intended to finish the rewritten version sooner (unfortunately, college is demanding). Still, I decided to republish the original one instead. For the nostalgia. And to remind myself where and how I started. I will still show everyone the way I reimagined it. It's quite different from the way I used to write. 
          	
          	I've grown. So did everyone here. I'll be graduating this year. My degree? Literature. I decided to follow my heart and do what I love the most. I've written more academic essays and literary reviews than fiction within the past 4 years. But all the time I spent away from Wattpad, away from my fan fictions, I gained confidence to improve my skills. And I can't wait to show everyone how far THIS writing journey has taken me.
          	
          	When I first published my fan fiction, I was anxious. Scared that my work might not be enough to be "liked." But I've long learned that one must write to express and let those who yearn for the same imaginary escape find their way to you. 
          	
          	I missed this. I missed everyone. I will try to respond to your messages. I will keep on updating my drafts, and hopefully return as soon as possible.

i don’t think ate ria remember me‚ siguro hindi. kasi hindi ko naman ’to main account. ang main account ko kasi ’yung jjk ang pfp. but i’m a reader since around 2021 yata? basta ang una kong nabasang story niya is “our last summer” ewan ko kung tama ba natatandaan ko pero parang iba yata title no’n that time? or baka inaapi na naman ako ng short term memory ko. 
          
          anw‚ nag-continue ’yun hanggang sa nabasa ko na almost lahat ng stories niya. may mga times kasi na nahihinto pagbabasa ko kasi either tinatamad pa or super busy sa acads. ang pinaka–favorite kong story niya is ayun‚ our last summer. tapos ang pinaka–gusto kong bumalik sa mga stories niya is ’yung mag–ex sila yj and y/n kasi gusto ko mag–reread. tapos ’yung kay beomgyu na partners in crime— that was epic. 
          
          then‚ gusto ko rin mabasa ulit ’yung enchanted ni hueka.  
          
          nonetheless‚ no matter how many times i stop reading wattpad‚ i always go here. ate ria’s stories feels like home and i want to keep reading and rereading every masterpiece ni ate.

Hi Ri! 
          
          I don't know if you remember me, but I'm one of your readers back then. Guess what? I'm first year college now! I discovered your books when I was in junior high school. Time flew so fast. I missed your stories so muchhhh. I wish I could read your stories for the first time again . You're one of my fav and unforgettable authors here in watty and made my jhs era bearable through your stories. This is just a random message since I logged out in this account for how many years, but I still think about your stories.
          
          Wish you luck, Ri!

Hi Ria!
          It's been AGES since I've logged on. More than a year, I think. So many things have changed in my life, and I can imagine you feel the same (especially in a tough university setting). I just finished rereading my favorite books of yours (All Too Well, Keep Me Awake...) and couldn't help but feel a sentimental weight while doing so. I've said this a bunch of times back then, but you've always been the number one source of inspiration for me. I fell in love with writing thanks to you, and through my high school years, have improved so much. I'm graduating soon, and it honestly is a change that I don't think I'll ever feel ready for. But re-reading your books and basking in all the nostalgia from them reminded me of the value in words, and how a wonderful writer (like you) can use them to fabricate beauty--that thought alone reassures me that I also have something to work with in the future. 
          
          Changes are so constant in our lives. The stories you've written will always hold a special space in my heart (even if I'm not a MOA anymore), and all the positive feedbacks from teachers or any literature related fields that I get are all thanks to you. I hope that your writer's journey is and forever will be as magical as the stories you put out! 
          
          (this was a little long sorry;;) <33

@bibestiefriend i remember you, hi! first of all, congratulations on your academic milestone. i get the feeling of change and the overwhelming aspect of it, but that's where literature takes over and helps us cope with things. i relate to the nostalgia and the sentimental value that the stories make us feel. like you, i'm not much of a MOA anymore, but the feeling of happiness and pride, knowing that we were able to establish this fun and interactive community years ago is still there.
            
            i'm proud of you for your growth as a writer. i'm honored to be your inspiration and way to fall in love with literature, but really, i was just there to introduce you to the beauty of it. your achievements and development are all because of YOU and the effort that you've put in to become the writer that you are today. as someone who struggles to write these days, your insight eased the weight in my heart and the anxiety of "not being a good writer." 
            
            i hope you're doing well right now. treat yourself something nice since you'll be graduating soon, and don't let stress take the beauty out of life, luv. <3

I just finish Our Summer and OMG that book is soo good like what! You should become a professional author or someone, or that book should be a movie. The ending was so bittersweet, I'm glad he confessed but I'm so sad he became a butterfly like can't she beg the spirit God to turn him back or something. And I swear it seems like the grandpa knows alot more about the spirits then he says.

@Traitor201129 thank you! i'm trying to get it published physically. hopefully when i have time to finish the revamped version, i could upload it here too <3

Happy to see that the author–whose books were my hyperfixation during the pandemic lol–is back . It's been a long time since I've read in wattpad too and seeing you back just made my younger self so happy. I was just 13, now I'm 17 .

mochiminie_

@formula_CodeMiami i'm glad the books were able to entertain you the same way they made me hyperfixated (in writing) before xDD time sure does fly fast, wow!
