Hello!!! Did anyone miss me? I missed all my blogger friends and of course, you, who are reading my blog even though I don’t know you or we are not that close yet. I’ve been so busy since the pandemic started. With all the quarantine and stuff, I’ve been stuck inside my home with my family. As for my schooling, we finished the remaining days for the semester through online classes. Now, we still do online classes for the new semester which I didn’t enroll to because of various reasons. I hate stress for now. I will be really really busy starting next month since I and my childhood best friend ..read more

I prepared a few questions for Ms. Rosalyn, and you can read her amazing answers below. 1. Where did you get the idea for The Crown of Bones? I’ve always loved the Grimm’s Fairy Tales and wanted to use them as obstacles in an adventure somehow. The idea rattled around my brain until my husband’s Oma was telling me a story ..read more

Hello everyone! How are you all doing today? I hope you and your family are safe.

So, it means that as a student, I’m still not allowed to go outside and we will spend the remaining days for this semester through online classes. And because of that, I’m expecting more add ..read more

Hello! How are you? I hope you are doing well despite the crisis that most countries are experiencing right now because of the COVID-19. If your place is not affected by this new virus, then that’s great news! I live in the Philippines, as some of you must have already known. And currently, most cities here, even mine, are on a quarantine (or lockdown) until April 30. Also, even though I have the time now to do some personal stuff like reading books, I still can’t put myself to do it because our school decided to do online classes. But, it was suspended after hearing the complaints of most st ..read more
