Among the few things I do when I visit my deviantART account are the following: (1) view (and delete) my messages (if any) and updates/uploads from the people I follow and (2) click on the Statistics button and see how many I have lured to my page.
When I finally get the consolation that at least my page has been viewed at least once a day (I’m a little petty, I know), I scroll down and look at the “Newest Deviations” pane and go back to feeling a little dismayed because nobody chose to comment or view my works. And then I scroll down a little further and find it odd that my “Favourites” are composed of drawings and sketches, graphic designs, arts and crafts, posters, and photographs.

When I was in grade school, my dream was to have my own novel published. I read a few local comics, watched a few Tagalog-dubbed anime and cartoons, and I decided, “Hey, why don’t I write a story of my own?”
I used up quite a lot of notebooks and pens in a span of 10 years.

Second, my apologies for being so lazy – this year has been good to me in so many ways but a little mean in others and I just couldn’t get out of the rut that I seem to be stuck in. Here’s to hoping that 2012 will be a better year for everyone.

This is what’s taken me so long to publish anything on here.
When I was in high school, I was so fond of writing love stories, hoping to make money off of them. I guess it’s a rather fanciful idea, considering that not many people are convinced that words on a page could be thought of as entertainment.
But that’s just me being bitter, so don’t mind me. And I think I should get back to that 30-Day Blog Challenge just so I could actually accomplish something in my blog.
I do hope you enjoy reading, nonetheless. It’s just the first chapter – I’ll post the second (and final one) soon.
Let me know what you think. Cheers!
