About Me:

I am an eighteen-year-old college junior majoring in Literature. I can’t live without my cell phone (It can‘t go any further than 10 inches away from me), my laptop (I don‘t know how I‘ll survive if it gets broken), the Internet (I‘m a stalker-in-the-making), )my friends (They‘re more valuable than my cell phone and lap top put together. Watch as my nose starts to grow longer. LOL), and I really, really can’t survive without books. I can survive without TV and movies (Well, maybe just crappy movies), but not books, never books.

My favorite books include On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Got Your Number by Stephanie Bond, and Teen Idol by Meg Cabot.

My Top Pet Peeves on Fiction Press:
1. I loathe heroines whose eyes change color when they get angry.
2. I especially loathe heroines whose eyes change color into gold when they get angry.
3. I immediately stop reading a story when the author inserts an author’s note in the middle of the freaking story. Example: Their lips met for the first time. (A/N: Awww! Aren‘t they adorable?). That kind of thing just pisses me off and makes me see red. I mean, nothing is more effective than an author’s note in the middle of the story to snap you out of it.
4. I hate plagiarists. Enough said.

Rules of a Bad Boy, my new story, is up. Also, there's a new chapter of Get Over It. Can't wait to read your reviews guys! :)

August 4, 2009

After a really long hiatus, I'm back guys. I hope you can forgive me for the long wait. From now on, I promise I'll try to update regularly. It might sound like another excuse, but a lot of stuff actually happened to me, stuff that brought a lot of things into perspective. I don't know how to explain it without sounding crazy. Anyway, Chapter 4 of Get Over It is now up. I deleted Chapters 4-5 and started writing them again, because, quite frankly, I think they sucked. I can't wait to read you reviews! Thanks for everything.

Dear Readers,

I posted the final chapter of Nicole’s Stupid Diary almost three years ago, but after rereading my work I just wasn’t satisfied with it. Don’t get me wrong. I love NSD since it’s the first full-length novel I’ve ever written, but I just wanted to tweak a few things here and there.

Also, a lot of people said that the ending was disappointing and a little too clichéd. I realized too late that they were right. So, I started revising it, adding some new events, a new character, and writing an entirely different ending. You can read the revised version at my website h t t p / w w w . s h a t t e r e d g l a s s . a w a r d s p a c e . c o m. It’s under the Writings section. Comments and feedback through the guestbook or the tag-board will be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks again.

Please read this first:

A lot of people have mentioned that NSD's characters have Asian last names yet they're described as Caucasians. The explanation for that is when I first started writing it I decided to set the story in the Philippines. I changed my mind halfway through the story, but it was already too late to change things since then. I hope this clears things up.

Nicole's Stupid Diary

Nicole is just an ordinary girl (at least, she thinks she is). She's in love with her best friend's boyfriend and she doesn't tell anyone about it, except her diary. She loses it and the most unexpected person in the world finds it. The most arrogant, not to mention the most popular boy at her school finds it. Christopher bribes Nicole to pretend to be his girlfriend so he can get his ex-girlfriend back. If she doesn't, then he'll show her diary to her best friend.

Will sparks fly?

Read on to find out.
