I released my first book exactly 11 years ago today (what is time??? 😂). If you’re looking for a short friends-to-lovers romance book set in PH, meet my eldest kids, Rain and Mark. Fall Like Rain is 0.99 on Amz until 9/30. ☔️ : bit.ly/flrnovel 💙

Erika, 41, has had a steady and less complicated life since quitting her job and helping her best friend open a cafe. What could disturb this peace? Just her favorite customer asking her out on a date, and wanting more.

Out Nov 7! Pre-order here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS53HTKK #romancelandia

I’ve been rereading Animorphs since last year but I slowed down because it got progressively darker. But I have so many fond memories with this - monthly bookstore visits to get the next book, discussing it with my best friend, and even writing fanfic! We always add new Animorphs in our fics 😂

Summoned by @milestanbooks.com to this app again because of this! Wow wow wow Animorphs was a HUGE part of my teenage years (Jake was my first bookish crush haha). These look SO good!

And that's film adaptation #1 for #RomanceClass ❤ Carla de Guzman's SWEET ON YOU has been adapted and will be released as RECIPE FOR ROMANCE. Red carpet when??? Congrats, Carla!!!

variety.com/2025/tv/news...
The CW Sets Six Harlequin Romance Movies; Katherine McNamara-Led ‘Montana Mavericks’ Gets Theatrical Release With Fathom Entertainment (EXCLUSIVE) RECIPE FOR ROMANCE Would-be enemies turn to heartwarming lovers in this story of two warring businesses in Little Manila. Sari (True O’Brien, “Days of Our Lives”) is given the long overdue opportunity to prove herself when her parents head for vacation, placing the family’s coffee shop in her hands. Sari’s big plans are derailed when a bakery run by the annoyingly handsome and charming Gabe (Alex Mallari Jr., “The Adam Project”) opens right next door. This launches a prank war to end all prank wars, bringing Sari and Gabe together in a story of love, family, community, and irresistibly delicious pastries. In the week leading up to the big Little Manila Festival, the two competitors will clash, kiss, and make-up as they navigate their desire for each other and for success. From Centinel Media, in association with Harlequin Studios and Bell Media, RECIPE FOR ROMANCE is produced by Circle Blue Entertainment and based on the Harlequin novel “Sweet on You” by Carla de Guzman. Arnie Zipursky, Dayna Zipursky, Floyd Kane, Amos Adetuyi, Brent Lewis, Dianne Moggy, Craig Cegielski, Susan Oman Gross serve as executive producers. For Fremantle, Bob McCourt serves as Executive in Charge of Production and Michela DiMondo executive produces. The film is directed by Kelly Fyffe-Marshall with a teleplay by Nathalie Younglai and Shelley Scarrow. The film is distributed internationally by FOX Entertainment Global.

This actually happened last night but I fell asleep and then I was crying happy tears about Yoongi this morning (welcome back, Yoongles! 💜) so here’s a sorta late announcement/celebration. This draft is 3 years in the making and it feels SO good to write THE END again! 🥳

I’m almost done reading a thing and I got to yet another plot twist and it made me so mad that I want to DNF it but I’m two chapters away to the end and I’m sadly committed to this absurdity. 😩

Spent my morning getting all the BTS notices and reading a work email that makes my work a lot easier starting Monday so it’s already a great weekend (I shouldn’t read my work email on a weekend I know but lol I’m glad I did today) 💜

extremely tepid take here but I'm a little tired of people who clearly don't like the genre they're in trying to 'remix' those genres lol

No more 'elevated' horror, no more of whatever this is with romance.

You have missed the point of the genre!! All of it!! The whole thing!!

I keep seeing comments from people adapting romance novels or starring in the adaptations and saying that the ending of these shows (there's more than a few I've seen) should have the MC end up alone and 'find herself' and I'm like, THEN WHY ARE YOU ADAPTING A ROMANCE IF YOU HATE ROMANCE?!?!?!

The real problem we Filipino authors face is this, the persistent narrative that our books are rare, and have to periodically be discovered by knights in shining armor.

The reality is that we've been here for over a decade, but some people never buy/read us (until they rebrand as our champions).

“I realized that when we talk about romance, it’s rare to find books in the Philippine context.”

Hahahaha saying that in the year of the Lord 2025 is definitely a ✨ choice. ✨

Anyway, in 2010 I challenged myself to read more books by Filipino authors and managed to find them, including romance books in English. It’s been 15 years (!) and I’m barely keeping up with my Filipino romance TBR. My 2010 book blogger self would be thrilled.

Got my results and everything is good! 🥳 My FT4 is below range for the first time ever but at least it’s not high? Ice cream to celebrate! 🎉

Finally went out to do my blood test today. I was supposed to do it last month but I was busy (imy Hobi!). 😅

Anyway TIL that lipid profile tests need 10-12hrs of fasting while the blood sugar test only need 8-10. I always do a minimum of 10hrs. 😅

I have low expectations for today’s results because I wasn’t exactly the best at managing my diet and stress recently. But still, going to almost half a year frequency from monthly testing is a win, I think.

But also I realized that I used to go for blood tests EVERY MONTH, at the peak of my condition. The longest interval I ever had was three months, but this time it was five. That’s a huge improvement. 🥹

I finally have access to publish stuff to our regional websites at work and of course I ran into an issue with Kentico immediately. 😤 It turns out I was setting the expire date of the page so it gets published then it gets unpublished automatically. Oops. 😅

I haven’t been here in a while and there were some important life updates (basically Hope on the Stage Singapore 😆) but first I want to yell about this contract I’ve been working with our legal and procurement teams in the past month that just got approved!!! 🥳 I can finally proceed with this proj!
