A New Beginning


Hello sa mga followers ng blog na ito. Ngayon lang ulit ako naka-log in dahil nakalimutan ko ang password ko sa account na ito. So I had to reset everything at nag-back read din ako ng mga entries.

I was actually planning to make a new blog na lang dahil hindi ko na maalala ang password but this blog is filled with so many memories kaya super effort ako para ma-recover ito. hehehe

This blog is the testament to my journey as a writer. That's why this is very sentimental. And for my followers, kung naaalala niyo pa ako, I just want to say I missed all of you. I missed the times when wattpad was not yet famous and this was my avenue as a budding writer.

Anyway, enough of that introduction.

Kaya lang naman ako nagbalik because I know I owe you guys an explanation. Well, not really an explanation pero feeling ko, as my followers, you have the right to know my current whereabouts. hehehe

Nagpalit na po ako ng pen name. Right now, I go by the name Janet Bernardo dahil sa ibang publishing company na po ako nagsusulat. :) Hindi naman sa ayaw ko na sa PHR. In fact, I would still recommend PHR to those aspiring writers dahil mahahasa talaga ang talent ninyo doon. It just so happened that Lifebooks gave me that life-changing moment.

Have you ever been into a situation where you felt so depressed and so inadequate? That was what happened to me. Kaya nawala ako nang matagal sa mundo ng pagsusulat. Although I still attempt to write but I never had the kind of drive I used to have way back when I first started. Then Lifebooks came along.

I considered it a blessing in disguised. Iyong feeling na ini-expect mo that you are not good enough and then someone proves you wrong. Ganoon ang nangyari. Lifebooks gave me back my confidence. They made me believe in myself again just by giving me a chance. It was life-changing and something new. They have cute book covers and fresh concepts. I was overwhelmed. I was inspired. Happiness soon followed.

Kapag inspired ka at masaya ka sa kinabibilangan mong company, nagiging maganda ang output mo. You become productive. You suddenly have that drive to be a better version of yourself, if not the best. You suddenly want to conquer your fears and try something new and fresh.

That was when I realized that my long hiatus was over. That was when I embraced my real self once again. The writer and the dreamer rolled into one.

So join me again in the continuation of my journey. I missed you all. ^_^
