I want to write beyond comfort. I'd like to explore the edges of the human mind—where belief cracks, morality bends, and truth becomes something dangerous. Real life isn't always kind, and neither are the stories that matter to me.
          
          I'm always drawn to challenge everything I think I know—morality, belief, and even the fragile psychology of being human. Tapos na ako sa magagaan na konsepto. The world we live in is far from soft. It's dark, unforgiving, and brutally honest.
          
          Hinahanap ko yung mga kwento na hindi lang basta nagpapakilig, kundi nang-uunat ng kaluluwa. Yung tipong may madilim na narratives na kumakalabit sa utak, dahan-dahang umuukit sa isip at nag-iiwan ng isang tanong: 
          
          Hanggang saan ba ang hangganan ng isang tao?
          
          I want stories that drag me into the abyss, where morality loosens at the seams and I start questioning not just the characters, but myself. 
          Stories that linger like a bruise long after the last page.
          Those are the stories I chase—bold, haunting, psychologically, and unmistakably human.

Just a quick survey for future reference: As a reader or writer, do you think love scenes in a novel need to be detailed? What's your preference? And what's your biggest turn-off in scenes like that?
          
          Thanks sa sasagot. ;D

Ilang taon ding nanahimik ang mundo ko rito. Umabot pa sa point na binura ko ang mga kwento dahil sa kawalan ng pag-asa. Akala ko hindi na ako makakabalik. Pero ngayon? Sh*t. Ngayon na lang ulit umingay ang utak ko sa mga nobelang kinakatha. Ang sarap nilang pakinggan. Kahit weird sa ibang sabihin, parang kinakausap ulit ako ng mga character na binibigyan ko ng buhay dito. 
          
          Through my thoughts. 
          Through my words. 
          They want to redeem themselves... at kasama nila ako. 
          
          Hindi ko alam kung paano ko nabitawan ang sarili kong apoy, pero ramdam ko na ngayon... bumabalik na ako sa daloy. Bumabalik na 'yong Vaine na nalulunod sa imaginations. Yung Vaine na may lalim, may kwento, may sariling rason. At yung Vaine na gustong... mabuhay ulit.

—I distanced myself to keep my heart intact, 
          and in the slow ache of letting go, 
          I outgrew the love I once fought for.

Sorry for plugging here, author and friends! ☺️ If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a moment to share something close to my heart.  This is the story of my good friend, and I genuinely want to support her amazing work. She’s super talented and really passionate about writing, so I hope you can also give her story some love and support! 
          
          Her story is a Girl Love (GL) piece — Professor x Student trope, written beautifully in Taglish!  It’s full of emotions, kilig, and lessons that will surely touch your heart. Whether you’re into slow-burn romances, complex characters, or stories that make you feel seen, this one’s definitely worth the read.

Silence feels safer than words tonight. 
          So I'll sail the ocean at sunset...
          Till our next eclipse. 

Gipangita nako siya, pero sa kadugayan... ako diay ang nawala.

Congratulations, Pusaaaaa! Grabe, Love and Valentine's story is honestly one of the best stories I’ve ever read sa Wattpad! As in, hindi lang siya basta basta na story, may mga scenes na mapapaisip ka talaga sa kung ano yung mangyayari next sa mga characters. Lalo na noong nag book 2, jusko po. 
          
          Ang ganda ng pacing, hindi bitin bawat chapter, saktong busog lang (worth it yung paghulat ba hahaha) Tapos  yung bawat character may mga sariling pagkatao, very consistent. Halatang kilalang kilala mo yung bawat character ng kwento. 
          
          Grabe yung effort ng pusa. Every line, every scene, every twist na tinwist pinag-isipan talaga. Sa Book 1, maayos yung pagkalatag ng foundation ng love story nila tas biglang may bomba sa dulo. HAHAHAHAHA nakukuha mo talaga yung curiosity ng mga readers. Sobrang galing! 
          Sa Book 2 naman, lumalim yung story. nakakainis lang konti si Love dito, pero understandable naman kasi sobrang sakit naman talaga ng nangyare sa kanya. Pero I like it nung time na parang handa na siyang patawarin si Valentine nung early part pa. Ginalit niyo lang siya ulit eh hahahaha. Pero grabe yung plot progession ng story, sobrang galing ng pagkasulat. Yung ending hindi siya impossible na mangyare in real life. Hindi bitin at walang malaking question na iniwan. Sobrang cute din nung special chapter, I love Brix sa part na yun. Hahhaha 
          
          Itong story ni Love at Valentine deserve ng recognition at billion reads. Sobrang saya na nadiscover ko ‘to, nagkaroon pa ako ng long distance bestie HAHAHA. (thank you sa ex ko na nagrecommend, hahahaha) 
          
          
          
          Dear Love Dear Valentine/Love & Valentine: solid infinity/10.  Thank you Pusa for writing this masterpiece!
