Willa and DM (TLA #1) [COMPLETED]

Want Some Trivia?

Uhh, hi? Hahaha. I'm not sure if those who've read this story still keep it in their libraries. I don't know. I hope meron pa kasi may pahabol ako sa inyo. Yay yay yay!

But anyway, the old readers who basically consist of my circle of kakilala, ay offline readers at may isa ngang sa mismong netbook ko pa nagbasa at nagpa-send ng PDF file naman 'yong isa (pero naisipan din nilang gumawa ng Wattpad accounts para maabangan ang updates dahil noong pinabasa ko sa kanila ay hindi pa tapos ang TLA). Well, your random long messages on Facebook and surprise text messages make my kilig feels rise to the highest level. Thank you, thank you.

Sa readers na hindi ko kakilala pero alam kong nagbabasa kasi biglang dumadami 'yong reads at votes and then paisa-isang nagco-comment, kahit pa accidentally kong na-erase 'yong ibang comments lalo na sa last chapter, tapos lahat ng nag-add ng TLA sa reading lists nila -- thank you so much. Thank you for finding the book and liking it.

At sa mga bagong reader na aabot sa puntong ito (book club partners or voluntary readers man), I recommend na do not read further to keep the mystery kapag nag-notify ito (October 11, 2016). Go back to the chapter where you left off. Kasi in this part, I'm dishing about some trivia. Baka mawala 'yong surprise factor. Char. Okidoki?

Well, ready for some trivia? Useless and shocking, here they are!

1) I started writing TLA on Oct. 7, 2014 and finished it 2nd or 3rd week of December 2015. Anyare? Ba't ang tagal? Hahaha. Too much drama last 2015. I had priorities so I had to weigh what came first. But I finished it so yay!

Resigning from my job for five years to open a small business that was not turning out very well for eight months... *break*

2) TLA was my first attempt of fiction. Seriously. Isa itong malaking experiment. Hahaha! I was more into documenting personal stuffs but I'm enjoying fiction now so ayun. Hahaha.

3) Palawan Inspiration: Because I've been there last April 2014 and it was more than amazing, I wanted to make something significant with my experience lalo na sa Underground River.

Chapter 12 ('yong TOUR) -- promoting Pinas! ♡

4) Willa Inspiration: Mahirap magsulat kung wala masyadong experience at idagdag pa 'yong lugar na hindi ka pamilyar so ginawa ko siyang Ilokana kasi pamilyar ako sa place namin (Ilocos). As to personality, ginawa ko siya in accordance with my Ideal Principles. Mas masarap isulat 'yong gusto ko kesa sa ayaw ko.

To those who said na nakikita nila ako kay Willa... dear people, WILLA is a fictional character. But it's true. Sometimes I am Willa but there are times that I want to be like her. ♡

5) DM Inspiration: A moment of happiness for my kilig feels. Hahaha. Well, hotel manager? Yep. Davao City, April or May 2013, Casa Leticia, Hotel Manager. Eh ang guwapo niya po kaya hindi ko talaga pinalampas. From reality, ginawa ko siyang fiction. Hahaha. Sana makita ko ulit siya. Toinks!

DM is my ideal man. 'Yong brokenness niya deep within na pag-ibig ang magpapahilom sa kanya -- ganyan ang ideal man ko. Someone broken but through me, he shall be healed. ♡

6) Blake and Sean Inspiration: Uhm, the typical character differences. Kapag may kalog, may seryoso. Kapag may playful, may masungit. Gano'n lang. Hahaha.

Among the guys, I love Blake's character the most. I enjoyed writing him so much. He's also a broken man and love fixed him, too. Pero hindi siya ang ideal man ko. Ayoko sa player, 'no!

Sean... hindi ko pa siya ganoon kamahal pero pasasaan ba't mahuhumaling din ako sa tigreng 'to. :)

7) M'g Homer and Aida Subplot: May kilala akong tatay na sobrang nag-i-struggle sa fatherhood. Sobrang lungkot ng buhay niya. There was never an Aida in his life though pero his experiences with his daughters are equally challenging. Dahil wala naman akong malaking impact na kayang gawin sa buhay niya aside from my own little ways, I decided to give him a better life kahit sa fiction lang.
