Their Birthday Wishes

A Wish Within a Wish

A fund- raising event for the gift-giving at the Philippine General Hospital - 2 Pedia Wards, Neurosurgery, Spine Surgery, Pedia ICU< and hopefully both Pedia cancer ward and Ward 10 too (if the budget permits).

Buy a ticket for 400.00 Php for a pass to the event inclusive of a book of your choice by Isshin Dream Publishing, foods, and an awesome time for book lovers or not. There will be a book reading / storytelling, inspirational talk and more.

You also have the option to donate the book you will be receiving. As Kcat Yarza said, "It was so boring to be confined in the hospital. What more for these kids?" So why not give them something to do while helping them improve their literacy?

Proceeds of this event will help fund the upcoming gift-giving event tagged as MAY Birthday Project on May 12.

You can also donate Toiletries (like tissue, alcohol, cotton, powder, soap, etc.) and (new) toys w/c will be repacked and distributed to the patients of the said wards. To know more about the MAY Birthday project, you can read about it at https://www.facebook.com/events/333400096715388/

The Key of Sanguine (an update 02)

I have nothing sort of an epilogue for the Key of Sanguine but I'm very excited to start writing the first chapter already. I could not, for the life of me, understand the reason as to why I yet to put words for the first chapter though, but I already know how to present the pacing of the story properly.

I could somewhat see the protagonist, Larisse, running about and attending with her friends request as the other three busied themselves with extra curricular activities after school. Sam being the president of the student council, Ryan heading the finals of the inter-school football championship and Danielle, being weird as usual as she stays somewhere in the wood to do odd jobs.

This time, the four of them are older, smarter and more matured as they become in tuned with what's happening outside humans reality. And now it's Rei turn to keep her Hope burning when more deadly encounters from unknown comes her and her friends way while she seeks her own Key of Sanguine.

The Seven - The Key of Sanguine Book 02 (Update)

I decided to start writing the second book for the Seven. Its main character, Larisse, keeps on bugging me lately as she appears to be ready to take the spotlight. I think it's time for her to step out of her shadow and show everyone that behind her shy and peaceful personality, she could also contend with Ryan's Faith.

The book will commence two years later after Ryan completed her dicio. This time, besides the struggle they have to fight within them, the four girls will face the complexity as well as the joy of being adolescent girls as they were joined by their new peers and foes during the summer they would never forget.

This book will be probably released at an ebook form.

Everyone is invited to participate the Isshin Dream Contest!
