"The name's Nen aka leoconstellwriter 'the lion with the temper of a dragon.' Ask me anything!"

Thank you sa bumato ng mga tanong. I enjoyed answering them. Lumabas ang pagkamadaldal ko na pilit itinatago.

1. At the age of 15, you are already a journalism student? Please enlighten me =) - MissBulilit

Yung kasi tawag samin eh...hahaha.

Kasi sa school may SPJ, Special Program in Journalism na sinumulan ng DepEd nung 2009 ata, at kabilang ang school naming sa 15 na academic institution na napili mag pilot nto. Because of my English teacher's weird persuasion powers na transfer ako dun mula sa SPED (Special Education)...hehehe. Simula nung Grade 7, may Journalism class na kami, at tinuturo yung mga pinaka basic at unti-unti nagiging advanced. Writing, Radio Broadcasting, Desktop Publishing, at next year TV Broadcasting focus namin. Meron ring kami Advanced English, at tinuturo dto College level english or Senior High eng. Kaya marunong din ako gumawa ng mga memoranda, speeches, business letters, advertisements at pinagawa narin kami ng thesis at research paper eh..hehehe...grabe talaga yun. Grade 7 palang kami tapos ganong level agad. Mabuti na survive namin.

2. Ano ang nag impluwensya sayong magsulat ng fantasy stories?- MissBulilit

Simula bata, malikot na talaga ang isip ko at matindi imagination ko. Marami akong nagawang imaginary friend dahil hindi ako palakaibigan nun. Ayaw ko talaga magsulat, pero nang napasok ako sa SPJ, dun nagbago lahat. Marami akong natutunan about writing and I suppose nagsimula na doon. I'm not a particular fan of reality, kaya most of the time I visualize myself in a different realm. I guess my want to escape the real world became my reason to write fantasy, kagaya ng mga ibang writer dyan.

3. Anime lover ka rin! Just like me =) hulaan ko ang fab anime mo, Fairytale and/or naruto? Haha hula lang naman. Kung hindi iyan, alin at bakit? - MissBulilit

Paborito ko dalawang yan, especially Fairy Tail. Simula pa kasi bata yan na pinapanoud ko kasama mga pinsan ko. Bonding moment namin manoud ng anime kapag pumunta kaming lahat sa bahay nila lola.

4. You've said that you love Husky, but what if you found a stray dog along the street, would you take it? Kahit pa Asong Pinoy ito? - MissBulilit

Of course I would. But sadly, my mom won't allow it. Atsaka may asthma kapatid ko. Kaya ibon lang muna pet namin. Si For at si Ever.

5. What is your favorite outdoor sport? sipa? piko? tumbang preso, tinikling, taching-runner, patentero, volleyball? what do you like playing outside? - kit_mccartney

Badminton yung madalas ko laruin. Simula kasi nung niregaluhan ako ng ninang ko ng Badminton Racket na adik na ko sa larong yun.

6. Kapag videoke time at ikaw na ang kakanta, ano ang mas gusto mo, naka-upo or nakatayo? kung may center stage, kakanta ka ba dun? - kit_mccartney

Hindi ako nagvi-videoke. Kill joy kasi ako...hahaha...pero if ever, gusto ko nakaupo, tamad po kasi ako.

7. In lord of the rings, aside from Aragorn--the final charge to battle the enemies was initiated by the hobbits. would you do the same? - kit_mccartney

'Di ko to masasagot to. Sa tuwing nagplaplano ako manoud ng Lord of the Rings, may nangyayari at di natutuloy. Parang ayaw ako panuorin ng universe eh...Hahahaha...subukan uilt mamaya.

8. Who's your idol journalist? - kit_mccartney

Hindi na ko lalayo at pipili sa mga sikat dyan. Ang idol kong journalist ay isa sa mga teacher ko. Si Mr. Ronald Reyes. Siya ang pinakauna kong Journalism teacher at ang nagudyok saakin na magsulat. Siya rin unang teacher na nakabasa ng gawa ko aside from my mother. Writer sya nang ibat-ibang newspapers at magazines sa region namin. Kadalasan nakikita ko name nya sa Leyte Samar Daily Express, at 8 Magazine. Minsan nag cocontribute sya sa national print media. Sa pagkatatanda ko meron syang office sa Borneo, nakalimutan ko name nung newspaper. Meron din syang sinulat na chapter/s sa isang collab na libro.

9. Nagkita na ba kayo ni Raine? same city ba ka'yo? - kit_mccartney

Hindi pa po kami nagkikita ni Ate Raine. 'Di ko rin po alam kong saan city sya. I live in a rural town na in a few years time ay magiging city narin.

10. What is your favorite logic question or riddle? How long did it take you to figure it out? - purple_porpoise

Marami akong favorite riddles and logic questions, and it usually takes me 5-15 minutes to either answer or give-up. But ang pinaka tumatak talaga saakin ay ito.

"A police officer saw a truck driver clearly going the wrong way down a one way street, but did not try to stop him. Why not?"

Ans: The truck driver was walking... -_- (Na disappoint talaga ako sa sarili ko sa tanong na'to dahil napaka simple di ko nasagot. Ang weird nga kasi nagging favorite ko tong question na to)

11. Being 15, nakaka-relate ka ba sa kanta ni Taylor Swift na Fifteen? - purple_porpoise

It's a big 'nope' with a popping 'p'. Wala kasi akong pakialam sa love life ko...Hahahaha. At isa pa, I know my priorities. Pero, I really like that song all because of the tune.

12. Are you reading any book right now? If yes, what is it and are you enjoying it so far? If no, what book would you like to read? - purple_porpoise

Yes po. Its Endgame: The Calling. I've been read it five times already because the next installment is still months away. Nakakainis...naiinip na ako dto. I really want to read more of Sarah and the other Players and watch them stop the Event...hahaha I'm blabbering.

13. As a journalist, who would you like to interview? What is the first question you would ask him or her? - purple_porpoise

I'd like to interview the new president. I'm going to ask him what plans he has for the people our age and of course our country. But, I'm not that great as a journalist. Si Ryan, yung ininvite ko po sa club, mas magaling yun na journalist at may advanced training sa TV Broadcast. (Sinugod nya nga si Binay at interview eh...hahaha...sinugod talaga gamit kong term)

14. If you were a Tome Keeper in Firmament, what kind of Tome would you possess? What Glyphs/element can you summon or control? - purple_porpoise

Oh...this is one of the questions that led me to write this story. I'd have a Mystic Tome of Creatures. Simply because I love animals and always imagined what it would be like if they had magic. Plus, I'd like to have a Gray, Fao, Arlan, Maz, and Eiz of my own like Kylon. My element would be wind. I always loved the wind, since it always calmed me down every time I'm so angry at the people and the world (ano raw? Hahaha). And I am also aware of the destructive power it has, and this may sound psychotic, but I love to destroy objects. I find it exhilarating. I feel so alive. But I only destroy things that are already broken, so no worries.

15. Anong kanta at artist ang nagrerepresent ng buhay mo at bakit? - GeelynAvancena

'Di ko alam, bunso, sorry. I love music, and I quote from my classmates "Mamamatay ka kapag walang music at headset mo." I never really gave a thought about a song that represents my life. My life is complicated and at the same time very average ata (Hahahaha...'di ko na alam pinagsasabi ko)

16. What inspirations do you have nung nagsimula kang magsulat ng Fantasy? Maaring magbigay ng higit pa sa isa. - GeelynAvancena

First off, God. Then my family, especially my mom for being an awesome single parent. Then came all those awesome authors in and out of Wattpad. My ever supportive friends who are like real siblings to me. And lastly my teachers who encouraged me to write and made me realize what I'm really good at.

17. Anong category ang una mong naisulat bago mo pa ma-discover ang Fantasy? (Pwede ba ibalik yung tanong na 'to kung sakaling nag-send na ako ng one-liner ko?) - GeelynAvancena

Wala akong natatandaan na sinulat sa iba na genre. Basta kasi, simula noong elem, fantasy na talaga hilig ko. Noon, di ako nagsusulat, drawing yung akin, yung parang comics. Sa notebook ko yun ginagawa. Tapos, yung gumagawa ng dialogue at story line si Ryan (Siya lang kasusyo ko noon sa fantasy).

18. Favorite mong dog maliban po sa Husky? - GeelynAvancena

German shepherds. Yung gusto ko kasi sa aso, yung mukhang fierce. I like fierce, probably because the blood of my guerilla ancestors runs in me at pag kapulis ni papa. Ito yung una kong naging fav ng klase ng dog, bago husky.

19. Ano ang fav. mong subject? - GeelynAvancena

Noon, Science, but later on sa high school naging English at Journalism (Note: natatamad ako minsan sa journ, at di ko magets kung bakit gusto ko to)

20. Paano po nabuo ang Firmament? - GeelynAvancena

Whew...mahabahaba to.

Last year, I and my classmates were doing our favorite pastime every time the teacher is absent: watching movies on the class laptop. At that time, we watched Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Then after the movie, one of them asked "Do you believe that you can make your own destiny?" Doon nagsimula ang matinding batuhan ng ideas (ganun kami. Handing makipagdebate sa isa't-isa. wag nalang kayo magtaka).

May nagsabi hindi dahil naplano na ni God ang buhay ng bawat isa, and the rest said otherwise. Being Pres, I remained neutral at gaya ng ginagawa ko kapag nagdedebate sila, nakaupo lang at naghihintay hangang may magtanong saakin kung saan ako papanig. Eventually, nung nakapukol na saakin ang kanilang paningin, I stated my opinion.

I said "Oo, naplano na ni God lahat, pero hindi ibig sabihin na sya lang lahat ang gagawa, kailangan din kumilos ng isang individual." Yan, neutral parin...Hahahaha. Then they shut up. Pag-uwi ko, doon ko lang naisip ang mga sinabi ko sa kanila. Napagtanto ko na magandang gawan ng story ang question na "Is there an escape from destiny or not?"

Then as I turned my attention to my stack of books, a scenario of the characters coming out of them formed in my mind. Then I thought it would be cool if objects popped out of books once you call on them. Dun nabuo yung idea tungkol sa Tomes. Then I just built a story around those two ideas. Doon ko na ginawa ang mag-away na si Kylon at Anika.

Originally, one book lang ang story na to, at tinawag kong Enchanted Tomes. But as I got into making Neona, I really wanted to explore the other continents aside from Aerotora. So nagging series sya at nagging six ang Destined instead of two. And here's a little fact, medyo malayo ang storyline ng Firmament sa pinaka unang draft ng story na to. Doon mas bata sina Kylon at Anika, ang pumatay sa pamilya nilang dalawa ay mga kamag-anak ni Kylon, at mas marami akong information tungkol sa Tomes na hindi ko pa sinisiwalat sa current story. It really sucks compared to my current version. Although, looking at it, it has potential to become a good story of its own...hehehe. Would you like to a peek at the very first version?

21. Choco na gatas o gatas na choco? - -lastorder

Hahahaha...either...hahaha...pareho naman masarap.

22. Kung magkakaroon ka ng tatlong husky, ano ang mga pangalan nito at bakit? - -lastorder

Azure, Blue, Cyan, o Sunila (kung babae). I love blue kasi eh...hahaha. This is kung blue mga mata nila.

23. What type of journalist would you like to be in the future? - -lastorder

I'd like to be a freelance writer. I don't have my sights on broadcast media, just print. Writing is my thing. And if I'm a freelancer, I'd have free time to do my other dream and passion, which is teaching.

24. .If you are to choose which world in Fantasy would you like to go and what willyou do to help in the situation of that world? Why? How will you want yourentry to that world be? Who will be your companion and who will be your enemy?― ArchAngel_MikeKhael

 Ang hirap naman nto. Diko po alam eh, marami akong gusting pasukan na fantasy world. Pero ngayon, gusto kong pumasok sa mundo ng Valemnia in the story Cesleste Academy Series ni MyLovelyWriter. I guess I'll train with the Celestial Twelve to kill all the demons. My entrance would be getting sucked into that world just like the heroine, and the Celestial Twelve will be my companions, and the enemy would be the Demon Lord. You should check out her work. She's almost one year younger than me but her writing skill is awe-mazing!

25. If you are given the chance, would you want tohave your work filmed or televised? Why or why not? Who would you want to bethe cast? Where would you like it to be filmed? ― ArchAngel_MikeKhael

Anothermahirap na question by Boss Arch. Yes, I'd love that. But I have no idea whowould be the cast. No interest in the shobiz world. If it was possible, I'dliked it to be filmed in the countries here in Asia, Europe and NorthAmerica...Hahahaha

26. .If you are to tour me to your place, since I already went to Southern Leyte,what other tourist spot or remarkable place in your area would you tour usFWFC? Why? What are the delicacies or pasalubong we can get there? ― ArchAngel_MikeKhael

I'mnot much for travel and so I barely know a few spots. San Juanico Bridge,McArthur Memorial Park, the Palo Metropolitan Cathedral, then Guinhangdan Hill and there's a spot inAbuyog closer to the southern part of Leyte, called Castañas Spring Resort. Thewater there is fresh from the mountain. As for pasalubong, in a small barangaycalled Mohon, they make delicious banana chips. There's also what we call"Sulam" suman na ulam, hence the name. Malapit lang sya sa Palo Cathedral. Yunlang...hahaha
