Me: How was school today?
Youngest daughter: *shrugs* We had a sub today.
Me: *after a long pause, waiting for more* Anything else interesting?
Youngest daughter: *eyes light up* I got another Warriors book!
For a good ten, fifteen minutes, my youngest daughter proceeds to tell me all about Squirrelpaw, Leafpaw and Cinderpelt, cats who figure prominently in Erin Hunter's book Dawn from her Warriors series.
That I can write a book that would excite a reader like my youngest daughter!
My name is Jewel. Welcome to my blog!
As a young girl growing up in the Philippines, I always hoped for storms so ferocious that school would have to be cancelled. And when it was cancelled, my siblings and I got to stay home. Usually there was no electricity, which we called "black out".
Who cared about the storm outside when we had wax from the candle, to mold into a human shape and stick pins in...just kidding, we weren't really into voodoo. Anyway, along with the wax sculpting, we exchanged suspenseful stories, of ghosts and aswang and the mananaggal.
This blog is dedicated to that spine-tingling story, of things imagined or real. Come on in, grab a blob of wax and join me around the table.
