✎ About You:

I was born and raised in Cebu City. I work as a book editor. I have a dog, Cooper, named after the all-knowing Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang theory. Sadly, he was dognapped and is still missing. I grew up reading historical romance novels, Sweet Valley High, and Sidney Sheldon books. I have a long list of favorite TV series that I enjoy and religiously watch. 

I wrote the first chapter of After School with Mr. Obnoxious about 5-6 years ago around three in the morning, after I had counted all of the imaginary sheep and still I couldn’t sleep. If I’m not writing or doing what I’m supposed to be doing, then I’m most probably procrastinating playing bubble shooter. 

Question and Answer:

1. When and how did you start writing STORY?

- I started writing stories when I was about 15-16 years old. There was no Wattpad then, so I literally had to write the stories on my crappy notebooks. My readers were my classmates.

2. What was your first and favorite published story?

- The very first story I published on Wattpad was Enthralled. But, i took it down and replaced it with After School with Mr. Obnoxious. However, my no. 1 favorite would have to be My Dysfunctional Boyfriend.

3. Who were your mentors and who were your favorite authors?

- My mentors would have to be my sister and my imaginary friend ( kidding ). My favorite authors would have to be Stephen king, Sidney Sheldon, and Francine Pascal.

4. Why do you keep writing and what for?

- I keep writing because it is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I write for myself and my readers.

5. Your most funniest/embarassing moment in Writing a Story?

- Reading the comments of my readers is always funny. They can be very brutal and very hilarious at the same time.

6. Your Advice/Comments/Suggestions to all writers  out there.

- Keep on writing. Aim to be better. Do not settle for less. Make sure to always put your feet in your readers' shoes.

7. Your motto as a Writer.

"If you don't see the book you want on the shelf, write it."-  Beverly Cleary
