1. The characters in the stories, Spanish and Chocolate are inspired by real-life people I know.
2. In Chocolate, (the second story in the anthology) in the prologue, Ruby and Juliette go inside an empty church to talk.
In real life: my crush and I have gone inside a church and talked about my feelings towards her.

3. In Spanish, Danielle lied to her mother about class extension hours just to be with Julia even more.

4. I started writing the piece around January, every school break, or when I am done with my tasks.
the catholic school (that was mentioned in Spanish) is the school that I enrolled in when I was in 7th grade up until 12th grade.
The original draft ending for Narrative Of The Beloved was the three main characters in the anthology meeting up for a book signing.
The idea of the resthouse that was mentioned in Spanish came up to me because my tita has a resthouse around Tagaytay.
Charles and Danielle got together in the story, right?
the same in real life.

The meow printed shirt and the striped yellow shirt that was mentioned in Chocolate are actual shirts that I owned and the character inspiration behind Ruby owned.
The draft for the last chapter for Chocolate (v- beloved) was planned to be in 2 parts but I had second thoughts lol
I act out the scenes as I write them down, because it's easier for me lol
The original plot for Kiwi was Diana visiting Frances every night for she suffered from anxiety. But I, later on, changed it with Frances suffering from D.I.D ( or Multiple Personalities Disorder)
Spanish was finished (the first story in the anthology) even before the Half Of It was released in Netflix, and I was surprised by how similar the plot of the two pieces. (And it was Spanish is the story behind the first time I've fallen in love with someone.
In Spanish, Julia helped Charles in terms of making a move to Danielle.
That happened to me irl too, I used to helped a boy with making a move towards a girl that I like as well.
MARTIR KA, JO?
