When I was 12 years old, I started having dreams— that are so foreign to me, it was like my imagination were making different scenario in my head that didn't actually make sense. It was also more than a year after my father's death. At that time, I remember that I cannot really grasp my emotions and thoughts very well so I resorted to writing. It has been my outlet eversince. It doesn't matter if it's just a letter, a poem, a short story or a novel, I just write my thoughts down.
Discovering wattpad was just a very simple incident at that time. It was way back hallyu wave from kdrama was invading the Philippines from Coffee Prince to Boys Over Flowers. A lot of writers were writing fan fiction about my ultimate ships before so I got exposed from Wattpad back then to read these fan fictions. With this, I actually encountered wattpad to read and not to actually write.
I guess every completed story of mine, even if they are far from perfection, the mere fact I closed a story means a lot to me. But if I would pick one, it will be the first installment of Montgomery Series which is Caught. It opened many doors for me, it unlocked my deeper thoughts and beliefs; and it was the story that taught me so many things as well. I was also told that I resemble the main female character in terms of personality even if I didn't intend it that way, so it is very close to my heart.
