Entry 01.

...Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over, she began to fly....

I have never expected things to go this way.

I mean, I'm supposed to be attending my online classes right now, getting all serious about acads.

But apparently, God has a different plan for me.

My family isn't poor, but we aren't rich either.

Somewhat in the middle.

As for my parents, they have high expectations from me.

I want to be a doctor, so I think somewhere along the way of me going to that goal has made them expect lots of things.

I was very eager of getting into my dream school.

I studied really hard, getting all hyped up with Biology and science related stuff.

I even attended review classes so that I can prepare for the entrance exam.

My parents bought me lots of books to read, lots of reviewers, and lots of things that can help me get motivated.

And then...

I failed the exam.

Oh no. I didn't fail it like a fail-fail.

I just needed a tiny 0.011 points.

JUST 0.011 POINTS!

I could've passed if it weren't for that! Grr!

But... I have no regrets.

If I passed that time, I wouldn't have started writing here in Mangatoon.

If I was in an online class right now, I wouldn't have met so many wonderful people.

If I was studying now, I wouldn't have known how my story can make people smile.

And yes, I am glad that I failed the exam.

Because I failed,

I was able to help my mother on house chores,

I was able to help my sister in her cake business,

I was able to help my nieces on their studies.

It was a blessing-in-disguise.

Did you think I gave up on my dream?

No. I did not.

I tried entering again and I became a waitlist applicant, which was by August when I made my ChatFic "Haikyuu!! Inevitable Relationship".

I was trying to distract myself on what news would come to me. LMAO.

I am not a religious person, but I prayed, every single night.

I prayed that my application would be accepted.

Was I accepted?

No. I wasn't.

Another close call! I was ranked 14th on the list, but they only accepted 10.

I mean like, WTF!

They suggested me to wait for the second semester and apply again, which is by the way the time when I made the second season of HIR.

And yeah, I did what they told me.

I waited and waited and waited.

I got kinda bored, but good thing I met you guys!

I was able to distract myself, not overthink about adult stuff.

And guess what?

The result was out last week!

'Iska' or 'Isko' is something that we call people who study at University of The Philippines, and guess what?

I will be one of them soon!

Yes, I got accepted!

This was my 'dream school', but now, I can call it 'the school I attend to'.

By March, I will be attending online classes and study like you guys! (Although mine will be a lot harder LOL)

And so yeah, I was thinking of how I can stay connected with you guys.

I want you guys to talk to me, y'know, be open?

I also want this to be like my diary whatsoever where I can tell you about stuff and you can tell me about yours!

Let's talk about everything we can talk about.

I will also post my announcements here, how and when I will update, and other relevant stuff.

What else do I need to say?

Nothing more.

Just thank you.

You may not realize it, but you guys make me smile everyday.

You may not realize it, but you're actually a big part of my life.

Every comments from you that I receive everyday were like love letters!

I get excited everytime I read them!

I lava you guys! Always keep safe and stay healthy!

^^^Love lots,^^^

Entry 02.

Talent in writing? Hmmm.

I wouldn't go as far to say that I have something like that.

If anything, I only rely on motivations.

So yeah, earlier, I was reading comments on my ChatFic 'Haikyuu!! Inevitable Relationship'.

I haven't visited it for days and it's already at

236K🔥, 16.4K👍 and 1391 💬!

I mean like, how the hell did that happen?!

Of course, I replied on the new comments, then I reread all of them.

Yes, all those thousand. It was fun! (and kinda psychotic).

Anyway, I found this one comment that made my heart doki doki.

It says something like, she's from a far place and her family is away and then she said that my story made her happy.

I forgot to take a screenshot of it (and I can't go back there now--), but yeah, that's what she said.

Anyhow, I was really touched with that. Awiee. 😩💖

I was also happy to see long comments, thanking me for making their day and stuff, I mean like, what is wrong with you guys?!

Why do you all have to make me this happy?! 😩😳

If only you know, I squeal everytime I read your comments!

My Mom thinks I'm weird and crazy, but I swear, if you're in my shoes, you'll be the same.

I'm actually kinda nervous because 'Haikyuu!! Ethereal Euphoria' will be out on Monday and my heart is still not ready LMAO.

I've been working on 'Haikyuu!! Unique', and I'm very surprised on the attention it's been getting!

You may not know it, but 'Haikyuu!! Inevitable Relationship' wasn't famous at the start.

It only got noticed when I was on Episode 30 or something.

(And every story starts with that)

I'm just surprised that it already got so many comments in just 3 days. Like, is that even real?!

So yeah, there are already requests of rare ships.

And I kinda got challenged on Yamaguchi X Kenma.

Grrr. I wonder how I will make it but I still need to do Kuroo X Tsukki and Tsukki x Kageyama and then Kenma X Hinata.

Hmmmm. Lots of work!

But I can do it! (I hope so)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Pray for me, people. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh right, I have ended 'Generation of Idiots'.

I've been neglecting that ChatFic so might as well end it than continue being passive in it, right?

And that's one less load for me. 😪

It's kinda sad though. Many people have read it too. So, I'm sorry. 😢

Anyway, I'm really busy on completing my requirements for enrollment, and I'm running a little out of time.

I wouldn't even go to the details, I'm just panicking LMAO.

How about you guys? How are you?

Yeah, sorry again. 😓

You've all been chatting me but I can't reply quickly because I'm always on my drafts.

I've been waiting for ideas to come...

They just won't.

Maybe they're taking a sh*t and the sh*t just won't come out. Grrr.

Pray for meeeee! Latóm.

^^^Love lots,^^^

Entry 03.

I was 12 when I first heard a K-Pop song.

It was Girl's Generation's 'Run Devil Run'. They were the very first K-Pop girl group that I stanned.

At first, I was weirded at the fact that they speak a different language, but then, I loved their songs.

Regardless of that, I continued listening to them until I came to the point where I already memorized the song. LMAO. 🤦🏻‍♀️

That time, I still get confused on who is who among the members because they all looked the same to me! 😵

Especially Tiffany! I always confuse her for someone else. 😂

But after few days or so, I kinda got used to it and then, I was able to recognize the faces and recite their names.

My bias in Girl's Generation (SNSD) is Taeyeon, the main vocalist and leader of the group. I kinda fell for her voice, and she made me gay as f*ck. 🤤

Kidding aside, I totally became crazy for them.

Back then, my Mom would always scold me for listening to songs that I can't understand.

But now, she would dance when I play Twice's or Blackpink's songs.

I'm not a Blink or a Once, but I do listen to their songs from time to time.

So anyway, I was really focused on Girl's Generation.

I even bought posters, but my Mom burned them when she got mad at me. LOL. 🤣😅

After that, probably when I was 15 or so, I was introduced to EXO.

The first boy group that I met and my attention was immediately caught by Xiumin! 😳

Like, WTF!

He's so dang cute and hot at the same time! How the f*ck is that possible?! 🤪

But EXO isn't the boy group that I stan.

Although I love all of their songs, I didn't simp for them that hard.

It was 2 years ago when I met ASTRO. I so-so-so-so fell for Cha Eunwoo. He's THICC. 😳 (I hope)

So yeah, I'm a full-time AROHA (ASTRO's fandom name).

If you don't know them, try listening to their songs!

Best five of my choice would be 'All Night', 'Knock', 'Always You', 'Should've Held On', and 'Aishiteru'.

But to be honest, I love all of their songs!

They aren't very famous, but they're talented. And I stan T A L E N T. [insert sparkles]

When I'm typing my updates, I usually listen to classical music.

I may love K-Pop, but I love ✨classical music✨ too!

Most of the time, I would play some piano compilations, but I really love Mozart's and Beethoven's works.

When I feel like it, I also listen to violin compositions.

I find listening to them very relaxing and calming.

So whenever I think of plots, I try my best to have clear thoughts. (Although my stories are very chaotic and full of stupidity 😂)

What about you guys?

What type of music do you enjoy listening to?

Do you like K-Pop too? What group do you like?

^^^Love lots,^^^
