1. Maaari mo bang ibahagi sa amin ang kuwento sa likod ng iyong Wattpad username?
'Yung story po behind my username is actually a really funny story for me since nagsimula talaga 'yun when I had a crush with someone whose name starts with 'Cy', siyempre being a Science geek ever since, I just jokingly connected 'Cytosine' with my real name which made me come up with 'guaninejwl', and ever since then hindi ko na siya pinalitan since naging parte ko na talaga siya on a personal level kasi it also mirrors my love for Science.
2. Kung bibigyan ka ng pagkakataon na makapagsulat ng kahit anong kuwento na walang limitasyon, ano ang magiging tema nito?
Kung bibigyan ako ng pagkakataon na makapagsulat ng kahit anong kwento, para sa akin ang magiging tema nito would still mostly really tackle about social issues and anything that the society still stigmatizes as of today—'yung tipong walang brakes or walang takot in making somebody else uncomfortable with the truth since no'ng una palang talaga na nagsisimula akong magsulat, parang naging advocacy ko na talaga to use this platform parang maging boses ng maraming tao and at the same time, magamit din itong platform na'to to spread awareness.
3. Ano ang pinakamahirap na aspeto ng pagiging manunulat?
Ang pinakamihirap na aspeto ng pagiging manunulat for me is managing my time and retaining that same passion I had when I start writing a novel. Since now that I'm a Medical Technology Intern, and ever since I took MedTech, writing for me became harder since I have to manage my time when it comes to writing, and still prioritize my academics to the point na dumating din po ako sa punto na ilang months akong tumigil—like for example I started Gunita way back 2018 and was only able to finish it in 2020 because I entered university in 2019 and at that point I wasn't focused anymore with my writings and all that stuff because I was staying in a dorm and it was really hard for me to find another outlet for my passion, kasi by then sobrang naging busy talaga ako sa pag-aaral and part din ako ng organization kaya before the pandemic, nawalan talaga ako ng oras pagdating sa writing. Although may gano'n pa rin namang instances up until now, pero mas na-o-overcome ko na siya.
4. Saan mo nakikita ang sarili mo pagkalipas ng limang taon?
Pagkalipas ng limang taon, I could probably foresee myself as a Medicine student in her last year (hopefully)—but probably a little more confident when it comes to managing my time when it comes to my writings and my passion kasi para sa'kin, 'yung writing talaga is still my escape kapag sobrang stressed na'ko sa acads or maging sa reality talaga. Siguro even though I would be a Medical student by then, nakikita ko pa rin 'yung sarili ko na pinu-pursue 'yung passion ko, kasi kahit Science 'yung first love ko, writing really brought me to different destinations that I have never imagined before.
