FREE EBOOK: Second Wave Summer

CLAIM A FREE COPY OF SECOND WAVE SUMMER HERE

Hi, everyone. I hope you are all keeping safe and healthy amidst all the uncertainty going on around us. Over here in the Philippines, the whole of Luzon is under enhanced community quarantine, and I believe even the Visayas and Mindanao regions are implementing their own regulations to keep more people from contracting COVID-19. I hope we can all do our part — even in our own little way — to help everyone cope and survive these trying times.

I thank everyone who has been dedicating their time and efforts in making sure our people are tested, treated, fed, and protected. Please please please stay safe.

In the meantime, we #romanceclass authors and fellow Filipino creators are sharing some of our work for free (on Twitter, mostly), for those who need to be entertained and fight off cabin fever. We hope you enjoy.

Music x Book Match: Ben&Ben

January 7, 2020 No Comments

In mid-December, I started a Twitter thread that matched Ben&Ben songs with #romanceclass titles, and it garnered a bit of attention from my mutuals as well as people I don't know. Because that thread was made rather haphazardly, I thought of creating a new one with better visuals and stuff, but things got busy right before the holidays, and I wasn't able to continue/complete the thread at all. And because I vowed that I would try my best to finish things I started, here's a blog post instead! <3

(NOTE: I'm going to try doing this Music x Book Match a regular thing just like Pinoy Movie x Book Match, so wish me luck!)

A #romanceclass experiment

January 8, 2019 No Comments

First things first: Happy New Year, everybody! <3 Gosh–time flies so fast, doesn’t it? I hope everyone returned from their holiday vacations refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready for the year ahead.

So…fun fact: I had slacked off on writing early November.

(Except that’s not actually a ~fun fact, because it makes me uncomfortable that I was rather unproductive toward the year’s end, but that’s okay, I’ve already forgiven myself since I was able to churn out a couple thousand words AND finished That Thing I Was Supposed To Have Finished in October. HEYYYYYYY! <3)

Fun fact #2: I DID end up creating something else early December. With some really cool people you might already know.
