Don’t Sleep On These Pinoy Flicks: Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2017

Events Videos August 4, 2017August 4, 2017 by tarafrejas

NIGHTMARE CABIN is an interactive suspense thrille NIGHTMARE CABIN is an interactive suspense thriller with two different narrative arcs. I wrote this as a weekly contest entry for @dorian.live, and it was both a fun and tiring experience lol 🤣 It was my first time creating and finishing a one-shot interactive story in less than a week, and I'm pretty proud of the end result. If you're on the #Dorian app, I hope you give Nightmare Cabin a try! (And do leave comments as you go along, please! ❤ Thank you!)

Three weeks ago, I was in a #RomanceClass Podcast Three weeks ago, I was in a #RomanceClass Podcast episode with fellow authors Dawn Lanuza, Jay E. Tria, and Six de los Reyes where we talked about rockstars—why we like them, why we write them in our books, how we like our rockstars, and more. In this clip I talk about meeting forner Sugarfree frontman Ebe Dancel for the first time after one of his gigs a few years back.

“Erin, I’m not going to get that part, okay? I “Erin, I’m not going to get that part, okay? I’m almost 100% sure they’re not going to give it to me no matter how—”

“How do you know?” Erin was getting upset. He knew by the way the tip of her nose slowly turned a bright shade of pink. If he failed to get his shit together, he knew her cheeks would soon turn crimson. 

“Listen. I’m just not the type.”

“Who said that?”

“Every director I auditioned for?”

“Well, they’re wrong,” she said, the conviction in her voice so strong he was almost convinced she spoke the truth. “Ramon, I know that a lot of us have to deal with a hundred ‘nos’ before we’re given a chance on that stage, but that doesn’t mean we should give up fighting for the ‘yeses.’ What you’re doing now—that’s giving up, and I’m not going to let you do that to yourself.”

WAITING IN THE WINGS (2017) // Available on Amazon, Apple Books, B&N, Kobo, Overdrive, and Scribd. Paperback copies for PH residents may be purchased via tarafrejas.com or romanceclassbooks.com.

I haven't played a lot of #AnimalCrossing since ar I haven't played a lot of #AnimalCrossing since around September of last year, but I picked the game up again on my birthday and did a huge revamp of my island. I missed my Lakambini villagers (said goodbye to Audie, said hello to Julian), and I also missed being able to create something in this manner. My island is far from finished, but at least I don't hate it anymore when I look at it! 🤣 Here are some snapshots I took recently. 🥰
