Murdered by an Idol | Epistolary ✓

[Kadaldalan]

Can't believe I'm writing this part already.

Hi! We've come so far! Thank you for finally closing the story with me. Ang layo na ng narating natin. It has been an adventure, one heck of a ride. There will only be an entry left after this and we're done.

Maraming salamat sa pagbabasa ng MBAI! Lalo na sa pagtutok. A year ago, when the concept of the story occurred to me, napapa-what if lang ako but here we are. I'm glad I get to showcase my passion in graphic designing and writing skills simultaneously.

Yes, ako ang nag-eedit lahat ng pictures. And I would like to clarify this: the cases that supported Rhys' trial do really exist in real life. However, I have only used those in fictitious manner. Isa pa, syempre ako rin nagsulat ng mga kanta ni Rhys. Tinula niyo ba? Lol

At saka one more thing (oo ang dami kong baong chika), sana hindi ko nadala 'yung mga kagawian ng A'tin na pang-atin-atin lang lol. Ayaw ko siyang gawing big deal na uy I'm a fan but certainly the interactions helps me breakthrough this story. Naka-relate ba kayo kay Anne in some way kahit hindi sa pag-f-fangirl?

Gusto ko sanang iraos 'to without narrations pero hindi ko keri! Na-bother ba kayo 'don kasi epistolary 'to? But I feel like the narrations are vital part of the story. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko i-incorporate 'yung feelings sa part na 'yon if it wasn't written that way. But anyways, we always have room for growth naman.

[Update: Speaking of narration, I have a new mystery-thriller story. It's a short one! If you're interested, you can check it out in my profile entitled "Who Killed Mr. James?"]

Grabe, hindi ko talaga in-expect na mapapanindigan kong story na 'to. Akala ko nga aabot pa 'to ng ilang taon kasi na-challange talaga ako lmao. Not just with the way that it's written, pati na rin 'yung legal stuff. I hope I haven't got anything wrong. Kahit pahapyaw lang, I really want to make it right kaya pasensya na at natagalan ang UD nitong pagtatapos. I have to go back and forth kung realistic pa ba 'yung nangyayari. I've ended up adding more entries at may mga nagbago sa outline ko, but I think it's all for the betterment of the plot. Wala talaga sa isip ko rati na aabot pa ako ng 100+ entries. Grabe!

And no, I will not change the ending. It will remain as it is. I hope we won't get to a point that I'll have to explain myself why I have done it the way it is :>

Ang dami ko nang nasabi. Pigil na pigil pa ako sa mga author's note na siniksik ko sa chaps. How about you? What are your thoughts? Have you had your answers? Are you satisfied with the turn of events?

Oh well, if you have thoughts, kahit ano pa man 'yan, you can leave comments and I'd be happy to read them.

I guess this is where we'll part ways? There will be no longer entries na may kasama pang pa-take care of yourself pero please always do!

May you always seek for truth and nothing but the truth. You can always go back to the entries if you have questions. Remember, Anne will always be here to seek justice and to tell you more about life.

May we always strive to be better, for ourselves and the nation.

Para sa'yo 'to, Pilipinas.

Woah! Having to type '24 feels weird. I just want to say thank you for reading MBAI! Nakakaaliw kapag binabasa ko 'yung mga comments niyo.  Gusto ko minsan sabayan 'yung inis niyo lol. I also have this urge to spoil you kaya nananahimik na lang ako. Still, I'm grateful that we've been part of each other's years and we're continuously growing. Cheers to that!🍻
