Genres: My works are under one or more of the following: romance, action/adventure, comedy, and drama.

Languages: My native tongue is Filipino, but I write in English. During the early stages of my writing "career", I liked inserting Japanese words into the text. I've tried to get out of the habit when I realized that my readers don't necessarily know Japanese even if they like manga and anime. Now I restrict my use of Japanese to terms that have no direct English translations (like certain festivals, parts of the house, pieces of clothing, etc.) The names stay Japanese, of course.

Influences: A number of people have asked where I get my ideas from. I think my answer's pretty typical. I get it from my life, mostly. All of my stories have at least one scene or line of dialgue from my life. My second influence is manga and anime. I'd like to say that I've never copied anything off the screen, but they greatly influenced my storymaking process, especially in the early stages of my writing "career". Third would be other writers, professional and amateur. For the amateur ones, most of them are in Fanfiction.net. kaika_n is here in Fictionpress, though. For the professional ones, you can read who they are here.

Work in Progress:

The Death and Life of Matsuo Yuuji: A story revolving around a high school student named Yuuji. Obviously. Hehe. I'm trying to experiment with the storytelling style with this one. I hope I pull it off. Although it's written to be able to stand alone, this is actually a side-story to Blue Star. It can serve as a prequel to be read after reading Blue Star, or as a prequel that will introduce you to the other book. I guess you can read it by itself, too, if you want.

Update: June 2007
Dear readers, I regret to inform you that Death and Life is currently on hold. I'm tremendously busy at work, and my writing efforts are presently refocused on my first ever fanfic, Nathaniel and the Orphan. But I still do have every intention of continuing and finishing Death and Life. I hope you're still read it when that time comes.

Finished Work:

Blue Star: Started in October of 1999, finished in 2000. But my computer crashed before I was able to upload it, so I rewrote it. Blue Star art can be found in my DeviantArt account.

Ribbon: While I was writing BS, I found myself amused with Midori and Rei, so I wrote their story for those who share my sentiments.

Walk: A short story I wrote this for an English class. Pretty dramatic... I sort of experimented in story-telling style. Hope you like!

Homogeneity: Another short story for another English class. A work done with the help of my classmates. Everyone else in our class laughed their lungs out because of this, so I thought I should share it to FP readers.

One Word: A pretty random one-shot. Based on a couple of characters from Blue Star, but can be read by itself.

Kaji o Sagashite: ("Looking For Kaji") A follow-up to One Word, this is Kaji's sequel after Blue Star, but can be read by itself.
