I've been putting off posting this but here's a letter from me to you

Hi, before I proceed posting art or projects, I would like to be transparent with you. And I hope my desperation to have my merch stocks be sold and my commissions being open would be understood. This is a long one so I'm sorry in advance and thank you for your time. For new followers, I am currently a medschool student. I failed Pathology in May... hence I need to repeat it for the whole year. That is why I have more time than the previous AY. It's the only subject I need to take. But with failing, I lost my scholarship, one that pays for my medschool tuition fee and also provides a stipend per semester for books, expenses, etc. I didn't want to proceed anymore but... I'm retaking that subject now. My parents insisted they will be the one to pay for my tuition but we still have a remaining fee left and that burden bothers me. I have been a scholar since highschool and I studied my butt off my whole life. It's just that 2nd year was hard and the load last year reall...

I could taste bile at the back of my throat, and it made me choke out a pained yelp.  Natigil si Mommy sa paglalakad. Hinarap niya ako.  She lifted my chin so our eyes would meet. I accidentally touched the scar on my forehead when I tried to remove my hair from my face. "We will just have to walk for a bit more," pakiusap niya sa akin. "Is that okay?" I nodded despite feeling dizzy due to the swarm of people around us. We had...

Ang Pinangako "Aray!" Nakaramdam ako ng paghila ng buhok ko mula sa likod. Biglang naghagikgikan ang mga kaklase kong babae. "Feeling pretty pero mukha namang aswang," sabi ni Claudette. Isa siya sa pinakamaganda sa classroom kaso nga lang ang hilig niyang mang-away ng tao. Matagal niya na akong pinag-iinitan. Hindi ko lang talaga alam kung anong dahilan niya. "B-Bakit mo iyon ginawa?" naiiyak kong tanong habang nakahawak sa ulo ko. Wala naman akong natatandaan na may ginawa akong masama sa kanya. "Why are you always with the Romeros ba? Sino ka ba?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa tanong niya. Sila Tan-tan at Forest? Anong mayroon...? May problema ba sa kanila? Pinanlisikan niya ako ng mata at lumapit siya. Tinulak niya ako sa balikat at napaatras ako. Kaunti na lang kaming natira sa classroom at halos mga kaibigan niya pa ang nandito. Pinalibutan ako ng takot at kaba dahil ko hindi alam kung ano pang gagawin niya. Dapat pala sumabay na ako lumabas k...
