Hello everyone, and depending on when you’re reading this, Happy New Year! Since this will be my last post for 2018, I thought that listing down my 2019 New Year’s resolution would be the perfect way to end the year for this blog of mine. Keep in mind that unlike my usual posts, I won’t…
It felt like it hasn’t been that long since I released a new book. And quite understandably so, too, since I just released Unspoken Words back in January. Yet here I am, writing a blog post about how my third book came into existence. It feels almost surreal, because just one year ago, I would’ve never…
The Cardigans – After All Aoi Teshima – Lullaby of Birdland Anggun – Fly My Eagle I wrote the majority of Maybe Everything when I was heartbroken. So quite naturally, the songs featured in this writing playlist are the songs I used to listen to during the moments when I couldn’t stop thinking about my…
There’s just something about marriage that excites people. The other day, when Felicia—my friend of 8 years and counting—announced her marriage, I couldn’t be happier. I genuinely wanted to congratulate her from the bottom of my heart, because I was truly happy for her. But at the same time, there is this lingering, quaint loneliness…
Recently, it feels so hard convincing myself to write something new. You know, be it a novel, a short story, or even a short poetry. There’s always this inexplicable part of my heart that just wouldn’t listen, no matter how hard I try to tell myself to write. Something is clearly holding me back, and…

Don’t you find it funny that people drift apart for no reason? The other day, I accidentally met one of my childhood friends in a shopping mall. The very first thought that came to my mind once our eyes met was, “Crap, now I have to make small talks.” And I don’t know if my friend realized…
Femme – Kajiura Yuki (梶浦 由記) Shizuka na Hibi (静かな日々) – S.E.N.S. Project Lost Memory – S.E.N.S. Project Itsuka Dokoka de (いつかどこかで) – Hama Takeshi (濱剛) Deja View – S.E.N.S. Project Since I completed the first draft of this project during Lebaran Holiday of 2017, I didn’t really need the music so much. But still, there were…
Depending on when you are reading this post, it might be 2018 already. I had considered to post this right when the year changes, but decided against it since I would most likely be celebrating the coming year with family and close friends. And I never liked scheduled posts since it doesn’t feel personal. So…
When I ran a poll on Instagram the other day, a surprising amount of respondents requested for me to post more information about my upcoming book, Unspoken Words. Some requested for information regarding the characters, some about my outlining process, and the rest were an equal mix between my writing process and publication date. The…
