I have always been into writing since I was seven because my imagination loves to create scenarios and storylines that I used to write in my little journal before when I'm alone or when I have nothing to do. Mahilig po talaga ako magsulat ng short stories noon at ang unang mambabasa ko po ay ang Ninong ko, whom I consider as my first mentor when it comes to writing. Siya ang nagsilbing proofreader ko at siya rin ang isa sa mga nag-motivate sa aking ipagpatuloy ang pagsusulat ko.

My classmate/friend way back when I was in junior high school wrote a story about me and my friend group na palagi kong inaabangang basahin sa Wattpad noon. Sa kanya ko talaga natuklasan ang mundo ng Wattpad kaya na-inspire din akong magsulat sa platform na ito.

I think I will always be proud of my first ever story in Wattpad, Dauntless Academy: Home of the Brave, kasi yung mundong nagawa ko through that story, especially the characters living in it, really holds a special place in my heart that I don't think I could find from my other stories. Lahat ng achievements and milestones na na-reach ko rito was far beyond what I expected.

Isa siguro sa pinaka-paborito kong experience or memory sa Wattpad ay noong nakilala ko ang readers ko na itinuturing ko nang pamilya ngayon. They are the most wholesome people I've ever met and I'm glad I met them through Wattpad.

Kapag binasa niyo ang stories ko at nakilala ang characters nito, para niyo na rin akong nakilala. They are like windows to my soul as a writer.

Keep on writing and don't stop dreaming. Always believe in yourself and keep your passion burning. No matter how long it takes, you will get there. Someday, you will be someone's favorite author.

I honestly can't think of a specific story to recommend kasi marami talaga akong gusto. But I highly recommend all of jonaxx's stories. I really look up to her and I am a HUGE fan of her works and writing style. She really inspired me a lot!

What I really like about the Stars program ay yung pagtutulungan naming lahat as a whole to make sure that no one will be left behind. Masaya ako dahil marami rin akong nakilalang bagong writers who share the same goal as me which is to write and continue inspiring other people. Super thankful din ako sa Wattpad Stars PH team for being kind and approachable sa aming lahat and for helping and guiding us.

I recently won a Wattys 2020 Award in the Fantasy category and officially became a Wattpad star.
