Jesus Christ: The Reason for Christmas
I am moved by this song and I will forever be grateful to God for Christmas. Christmas is about His Son, Jesus. The festivities are for Him. Let’s look back at the fulfillment of God’s Salvation plan through Jesus, His Son!
Even though we faced everyday struggles, we can rely on Jesus, our God the Son! Just ask for His help and He will surely help you!
Praise God! And may you have a fruitful and meaningful season!

Blurb: Birthdays are normally celebrated, but that is not the case for 26-year-old fashion designer, Olivia Rose Salvador. She doesn’t like birthdays, much less her own. She considers October 1st as a jinx, because all through her life, all the important people in her life have left her right smack on that day. As the heir of the international Style Rose fashion brand, she is in charge of preparing for Style Rose’s first appearance in Philippine Fashion Week. During her stay in the Philippines, she meets 31-year old pediatrician, Jake Ocampo, who is literally the “boy next door” as he lives right next door to her temporary condo unit in Bonifacio Global City. They start to get to know each other and everything seems to be going smoothly, as both, who have been burned before in terms of love, start to open up again and start living life to the fullest. But what happens when it seems the jinx is strong and the ghosts of their painful pasts start coming back and making themselves felt? Will these ghosts threaten their very new and very fragile relationship? Or will Jake’s love for Olivia break the October 1st curse?
Reminder: Christmas gift from me. You can download the eBook for FREE starting December 21 to 25!

A glimpse of #romanceclass2017 novella
I created a board on Pinterest just to collect my ideas for today. Sorry. I am a fan of Descendants that is why I chose them to be my pegs. What if they have Filipino blood… What would you think they will be.
P & B both have glasses
They’re also into spoken word poetry. Expect poems from me haha
Both have the same algorithm to follow.
B, a plus size sexy MC….
Good night guys! I am just so blessed to be a part of the #RomanceClass2017 Anthology! Happy Christmas Forever is a short story and a sort of a prequel to the New Adults Joshua and Sasha! I will be writing on that if you like the idea? Let me know ahaha❤

TRIVIA on STYLING SERENDIPITY
November is NANOWRIMO time. Did you know that Styling Serendipity was first drafted during NANOWRIMO 2015. It won but the novel had a different Title. The first Title was “Shouts of Destiny.”
The characters were named Kelly Rose and Kevin. I love when the MC and LI had the same initials. Kevin is not a pediatrician but a surgeon. I just have to listen to my potential readers.
I signed up to this year’s romanceclass 2016 and decided to rewrite the Nanowrimo winning manuscript.
As I watched my writer self doing a lil mature manuscript, I said to myself, Is it time to level up to something more mature? The answer is yet to come. LOL
I just want you to pray with me… I am having a hard time in writing the BOOK 2 of my HeistClub story. I don’t know why? I need your prayers.
