  1. Born and raised. Filipino through and through.
  2. Lately I've been going crazy with my syrup experiments. I hate maple syrup with a vengeance. Sooo I went on a quest to find a different syrup I can stomach. Orange syrup so far tops the list. I eat this with a small scoop of butter and fruit slices on the side. Really plain, except that orange syrup gives it that amazing kick.
  3. It's green. I love green-tinted phoenixes. Reminds me of wildfire. 9/10
  4. For a moment there, I thought yeah, flamingo, that's right. No... no... Also.. Custard!
  5. I love knowing that a lot of you play instruments. I don't, but I like being a patroness of the arts, because I enjoy arts and music immensely. Is being a pianist what you've always wanted to be? What else would you like to be and be known for?
  6. Abduction “Babe? I know what this is. I’m not afraid.” She heard a laugh. She was covered in anticipation, goosebumps, rope, sweat and darkness. Hearing that laugh made her shiver in fear. She can hear her heartbeat drum against her ear, fast, like a precursor to battle. “You really should be.”
  7. I'm a little OC, so in nice little neat rows of lilies and other flowers except roses. I dislike those. And color coded. The garden has one section for herbs and veggies for cooking, because that's how I like my omelettes and ahem, Salads...dragged through the garden, a hefty serving.
  8. It can get quite dangerous, especially in a syrup storm.
  9. Yes it is. It's been my username in the forums for a long long time, even way back in the late 90's. Plus it's my personality. Hahaha
  10. I thought that since it's my birthday today (in quarantine), that I'll just start this instead of a party. Ask me anything. Nothing is taboo. I won't promise that the answers will be satisfying, but I will answer.
  11. He spent plenty of time waffling with this voice inside his head.
  12. It's my 43rd birthday today of the best year of my life. Yes, I said my age. 

    This may not be the place to say this, but being here makes me forget how old I actually am - not that I look it. I'm Asian, and won the lottery on aging gracefully.

    I just want to thank the people here who makes content daily that makes me snort in laughter. The amount of Wit in this place makes me believe that Hoid truly does exist somewhere and exerts his willful mirth on all of us in the shard. 

    It's the best time to be back here. I lost time to grow out of my own arrogance and stupidity, but I'm here now. Hopefully for a very long time. Happy birthday to me.

  13. It's so darned hard to write happy stories. Surgery Lily felt more than heard the words around her, over the beating of her heart. The cool hands on her skin were careful as they removed the bandages around her eyes. Suddenly, a blurry light and outlines of people slowly coming into focus. Color. Faces. 15 years to finally see.
  14. Is it just me or the last 50-word fiction posts are heartbreaking? So much feels....!
  15. Much editing is involved sometimes. I usually just write a story then go back to it to see how I can shorten the sentences. Start with a bad idea, if you can't think of a good idea. This forum is a treasure trove of bad ideas that got improved over time. Hope that helps! Happy 50-word crafting! ---- Natalie Portman in V She held her hands up to the sky, feeling her problems wash away as if by magic. The urge to go out into the rain was irresistible, and the touch of bare soles on wet stones made her be aware of just how much she has forgotten life's simple joys.
  16. Denial "I do not need him, you know. men are like, what, they use you...they tell you they love you and then leave you...cheat on you." "I'm better off by myself, beautiful, self-respecting...I am not depressed! Don't worry..." she put down the phone and grabbed another chocolate bar.
  17. The return of the breadmunks. It had an unusually horrid smell, like damp, old laundry stuck in a box for three warm days.
  18. I have to stop procrastinating and finish Quitty's reentry into Alleyverse. The week has been so busy that it sank to the bottom of my task list. It almost feels like I'm avoiding getting to know her again, for fear of being sucked into her troubles.

  19. Will an audiobook work? --- You know you're a Sanderfan when... ...it's difficult to name my intricate crochet doily patterns a name other than Pattern.
