Sorry For Being M.I.A.

I've been off the internet due to connection difficulties and I am sorry about that. But I assure you that I will be back with a lot, a lot of stories to post and discuss. Not only the connection but my duties as a college student, I'm in my third year now so my schedule is pretty tied up to interviews, editing of videos, presentations, exams, and quizzes. The works, you know how we roll.

I'll be updating also my blog's "look" so watch out for that. Thank you!

Novel Update

Happy Independence Day yesterday!

Well, it was a memorable day for me to begin with, not just the holiday itself but also because it became the day that broke the chain of being in a toxic relationship with fellow people who for so long I don't want to hang around with anymore.

But for now, this would not be the topic (as you can see in my "title")

But yesterday, I started writing the first page of my debut. It is just a short, quick draft but it'll be a start. I have to read a lot of books to further more research about my topic so I'm still on the drawing board, I kept vlogging all of it too so I keep track of myself and my work.

I started researching last May 13, 2017, that day I came with the inspiration about the main topic of my book and as I further research, my whole perspective about making the novel was even more "pushed." And it has been officially a month of brainstorming with the internet and a whole pack of books stacked up high and more internet searches.

May God bless me with this novel and please let this be the one whole stick with me till the end. I am a writer who has a lot of "Chapter Ones" in the back of her notebooks, old laptop, this laptop and old pads that never seen the light of the afterlife (being published.)

For a quick tease, it'll be a Science Fiction with six heroines and a time traveling experience will be the fun twist. All hail to and shout out to Samantha Sotto author of Love and Gravity and Before ever After you are. You inspire me to write this!

A Poem that'll say it all

Lang Leav is also an inspiration to all of my original poems.

Writing a Novel

For about a week now, I've been planning on writing a novel. This might not be the first time I've said it to myself (for the record, I keep telling that I would write something since I was only eleven) but for now, I've been researching a lot; from the possibility of a certain plot to the techniques of writing a good ass novel.

I've been reading and writing my own stuff back when I was only in fifth grade, where my only fan is my cousin Kat. She would literally just sit there and ask and ask for the next part of the story that I keep on writing in my head. I remembered once when we're only about ten and eleven, we were in a car coming back home from Cavite to Manila after celebrating the new year. The ride is obviously a long way from home so we decided to entertain ourselves to some Michael Jackson music and a few shared stories (from me) that are basically as the young ones call now "imagines."

The trip from the province to the city was quite enjoyable, I literally have to speed up my whole story just to get to the bottom of it, (Cavite from Manila you say) I did finish telling it to my cousin though. And that night I will always remember how the feeling of some door opening in front of me while I write down another set of stories on a sheet of paper from an old notebook, that this gon' be my purpose. This is it.  I am a freaking genius.


And so I thought...

After quite some time or after five years of failed attempts at writing, it's ghosts was and still is everywhere. From an old laptop's notepad application, from ripped pages from fifth, sixth grade back notebooks, and also from the never ending piles of actual notepads my ability and dream of writing became stagnant. Yes sure, I composed a lot of essays, short stories...but that;s about it.

Not until college...

Writing is crucial to my course, I picked Communications Arts by the way.

Yes, the girl who cannot read once and the girl who could not stand reading picked that course.

Life is full of surprises you know, and you can never tell what it might pull off this time. So keep it flowing.

Now, I began writing poems, started reading other poets' works like Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur & Michael Faudet. I keep on searching for others everywhere; you name it, just so I can fuel up my love for writing, my inspiration to keep going.
Now, I have decided to create the debut (yeah baby, I'm dropping a bomb)

I keep you posted on this topic to my obsession with art, music, and literature.

All I could post now about this debut novel is, it will be a historical, sci-fiction. That's about it. (my two favorite genres by the way)

Well, let's talk about this 481 pages of "relaxation"

Never in my life, have I cried twice (twice!!) in a single work of literature, art and frustration. The book was so good that I have to stop myself from reading it once or twice; I have to regain my strength and the reality that I have school work to do after. I started reading "Love and Gravity by Samantha Sotto last Saturday evening (March 4, 2017) and I'm at the end part by Monday which was March 6, 2017.
The first time I saw the book was on my facebook account, the National Bookstore facebook page posted the content that the author, Samantha Sotto will be having a book signing event that month (February 11, 2017.) I will tell you that my heart always  skips a beat about this types of events. So after that, I went to my goodreads account (always check the book you're going to read/buy so that you'll know that your money won't go to waste as well as your time.) Anyway, the book got four point three and to that very moment, one clicked on a button and violà the book is now on my TBR (to be read) an additional to my one hundred plus and counting books to be read and I am not ashamed of it.

To give you a brief narrative,  the book was about the genius Isaac Newton and Andrea (which was my second name, that's why I keep on fangirling about it)that had met over a magical, crack on Andrea's room when she was only seven, and every now and then as Andrea plays their song on her cello which apple scented notes floats over the air whenever she do that, they meet, greet and swap letters defying the laws of time like 3 and half centuries was nothing. Talk about your relationship being complicated. Well know it is up to you, who is willing to read and appreciate this peculiar type of story (that really intrigued me to read it) but at the same time, smart and sooooo relaxinggggggg. ;)

Well maybe my newest favorite author? Let say I love her already!
