I've always been fascinated by daydreaming. I remember way back 2008, I used to play Taylor Swift's songs over and over again and I just found myself creating scenes inside my head. I just thought I should put my thoughts into words, so I started writing stories in my notebook when I'm in school and transferred it to Microsoft Word every time I got home.

I was writing stories in MS word for five years, until I discovered Wattpad from my friends. They told me that I should try using it, so I did. It was exactly January 1, 2013 when I created my Wattpad account and started writing stories in this platform. I am really grateful to be part of Wattpad Community for it has given me a lot of opportunities, friends, and experiences.

To me, my story "Smile For Me, Ressler" is one of the best stories I've written. In this story, I've seen how I improved as a writer. This story was a product of my real life experiences with a touch of fiction. To be honest, when I was on the process of writing this story, I've shed so many tears. It was the very first time I actually cried while writing, and it has made me so proud because finally, I proved myself that I poured all the emotions I badly wanted to pour ever since I started writing. I've never felt so confident about my works, but "Smile For Me, Ressler" hits different. For the very first time, I've felt so proud as a writer. For the very first time, I had the courage to imagine my story having a movie adaptation. I've never felt so proud with my stories for the past few years, but when I finished writing Smile For Me, Ressler, it has actually made me see why exactly I love writing. 

I could never forget the feeling I've got when my stories started to reach millions of reads. It was actually something I've never seen coming, especially on my first year on Wattpad. Who could've thought that a person like me who started writing on Wattpad in 2013, got millions of reads in the same year? No one expected that to happen, including me. I thought I just got lucky, but when I started posting more stories, it has also reached millions of reads, and I've finally realized that I am destined to be on Wattpad forever. Starting that day, I kept on writing. 

In January 2014, I got an offer from a Publishing company to be their exclusive writer for 2 years and publish my stories as a book. I could never forget how happy I've felt when I've read their message to me here in Wattpad. It was just my first anniversary in Wattpad so I thought things were happening so fast. Of course, it made me very happy and I gladly accepted the offer. 

In 2020, I received another offer from a Publishing Company, but this time, it was PSICOM. I'll never forget how happy I was when I received an offer from them. I was actually doing my plate that time at our university, and suddenly, my phone vibrated. It was a message in Wattpad so I opened the app, and there I saw a message from three people working in PSICOM, offering me to be their exclusive writer and publish my works as a book. It took me a lot of courage before I accepted the offer because I had to think carefully. But of course, I gladly accepted their offer.

July 2020, I became a Wattpad Ambassador. It was also my favorite experience on Wattpad, being part of the Ambassadors. Helping and serving the Wattpad Community makes me really happy. I also met some friends here, and they're all nice. Meeting them was a blessing. 

In February 2021, I got an email from Ms. Nayin, a Wattpad Staff, saying that she wants my story "Smile For Me, Ressler" to be part of the Paid Program. I will never forget how happy I've felt when she emailed me. It was a very great opportunity for me as a Writer and it really made my heart so happy. She also offered me to become a part of the Stars, which was the most exciting part for me. Being part of the Stars was like an achievement unlocked for my 8 years in Wattpad. Because of Wattpad, I've met some friends. Because of Wattpad, my books got published. Because of Wattpad, great things keep happening to me. And everything about Wattpad makes me so happy. I couldn't even see myself living without it. 

I usually write stories about love, life, friendship, family, and career. All my stories are a product of my real life experiences combined with fiction. 

It's not the number of readers we have that makes us a great writer. It's the number of hearts we touch, the number of minds we open, the number of lives we change, and the number of times we choose to keep writing.

What I like most about being a part of the Stars program? Meeting a lot of good people and great writers. I know I'm still lacking as a writer, but I am always open for new learnings and improvement which I know I will find in this program.

Stars Program, Paid Program, and Ambassadors Program (my favorite part is reading/judging stories in write-a-thon contests and inviting authors for AmWA *Ask My Wattpad Author*)
