Hi, dear readers!
          
          I’ve decided to go on a writing break once Ramadhan starts. Aside from wanting to focus on this holy month, there are also a lot of things happening in real life that I need to deal with. But rest assured, I'll be back soon and maybe with good news? ♡

I am featured on AmbassadorsPH's community newsletter. What a good way to start the year!
          
          If you want to know more about me and my writing journey, including how I came up with my pen name, my struggles as a writer, and some fun facts, feel free to check it out. 
          
          And of course, I would like to thank AmbassadorsPH for giving me the opportunity to be part of this. It was such an honor ♡

Writing has always been my breathing space. This year has been full of uncertainties, ups and downs, and this path has been one of the few things that gave me a sense of control and the solace I was seeking.
          
          It was a productive year. Completing two novellas (one new story and one that underwent major revisions) is an achievement for me, especially after being inactive in writing for a while. I’m proud of what I accomplished this year as a writer, and I hope my journey continues to bloom in the years ahead.
          
          I’m grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. I hope you’ll continue with me as I share more stories you’ll love. Thank you!
          
          Cheers to the new year ahead! 
          May it be kinder to us all ❤️‍

Hello!
          
          I hope everyone’s doing well. I’m sorry for the lack of updates these days. Academia has been eating me up so badly—I’m constantly occupied with a lot of things, so I barely have the time to post. Maybe I’m also going through a bit of writer’s block. But don’t worry, I’ll be back before you know it!
          
          I hope you understand ♡

To my dear readers,
          
          With everything that’s been happening lately, I hope you and your loved ones are safe. Please take care, stay alert, and keep checking in on one another.
          
          These past days haven’t been easy, but may we continue to find strength and comfort in the people around us. Let’s keep praying for calmer, brighter days ahead ♡
          
          With care,

Hello, dear readers! 
          
          I just posted the prologue of my new story, Let Me Love You (previously titled Locked Hearts). This is actually my first novel—one that I started back in 2022. But I went through a long writer’s block that same year, let the story sit in my drafts, and eventually forgot about it for a while. 
          
          But now, I’m picking it up again to finally close its chapters. It’s long overdue, but I don’t have the heart to drop their story completely. You might notice some inconsistencies in writing style since the first half was written by a younger version of me, while the rest will be continued from where I am now. 
          
          Before diving into the story, please make sure to check the trigger warnings. I hope you give this story a chance!

Marahuyo is finally complete!
          
          Rewriting this story has been both challenging and healing—filled with late nights, countless revisions, and moments of reflection. To everyone who voted, left comments, and shared their thoughts, thank you for being part of this journey. This story may end here, but the love and comfort it holds will stay. 
          
          Until the next story! ♡

Hello, dear readers!
          
          There won’t be any updates for Marahuyo this week. I’ve been struggling to write the last few chapters. But rest assured, updates will resume next week.
          
          Thank you for your patience ♡

Happy 3rd anniversary to me as a writer!
          
          Thank you for walking with me through this journey of words. Your support lights the path, and I’ll keep writing stories that reach your hearts. I love you all! ♡

All throughout our history, words have been used to inspire, to lead, and sometimes, to mislead. As someone who writes, I know how powerful words can be, but I also know they lose their meaning if not followed by action.
          
          I don’t speak from power, only from the side of ordinary people who live with the consequences of broken promises. What’s decided above always finds its way to us below—whether in opportunities delayed, services that never reach, or lives left waiting. That’s why people raise their voices: not to fight for attention, but to remind leaders that power is not a privilege, it’s a responsibility.
          
          Real leadership isn’t proven by speeches or applause, but by integrity and accountability. It’s not about how loudly promises are made, but how faithfully they are kept.
          
          I stand with fellow Filipinos who refuse to grow numb, who continue to hope, and who will not forget. Because silence has never built a better future, only truth and accountability can do that.
