My Dream is Finally Coming True

 Finally, my dream of publishing my novel is coming true. A kindred and generous soul/company has offered to publish it. 

That thought alone had made me so happy that I could live day to day, floating on cloud nine.

My novel, "The Kalinga Warrior," will see print hopefully in September of this year, 2026. It has been more than a decade since I started writing this novel, hoping that one day it will see the light before I meet my end.

Now, I am debating whether to appear to the public or allowing by brother to do the promotion for me. I am an introvert, you see. I don't want to socialize with people I am not familiar with, especially those who might look up to me because of my novel.

Well, it is crossroad for me, and when that day comes, I will have to follow what my heart dictates. 

This novella focuses on the life of a Kalinga man, who, despite people's discrimination, managed to reach his goals in life.

You may want to read it because it also reveals how the Martial Law years were in the olden days. Although, the work is fiction, the framework deals with a few factual occurrences in the Philippines.

You could also learn more about how the Kalinga People live their lives in the old days. I am proud to have lived my childhood in my father's homeland.

You may want to read some of the chapters of my novel. I have published them by chapters in this blog too. Here's the link: The Kalinga Warrior.

My Regret Was Too Late

 I have sold my site with the most traffic because I was in dire need of money at that time, and I regretted it. 

For a measly sum, I have handed over more than a decade of memories to someone. I should have held on no matter what the circumstances were.

Nevertheless, it's done, and in the past, so I just have to move forward. Now, I'm trying to promote my blog, https://theclamorofkalinga.blogspot.com/, which I dearly treasure since I am from Kalinga, a place I love the most.

I plan to turn it into a real website, and to do this, I need to pay for hosting and a domain name. 

So, I am now requesting any support you, my readers, could help me with in any way you can. 

I would appreciate it a lot.

I have my Ko-Fi page, if you would like to know more below:

See you soon with a new post. I have to babysit two energetic kids that's why I can't go out and earn. I will have to do it online.

Thank you for your kind attention and support.

Arkin and the Little Lie

 

Arkin was a cheerful 3-year-old boy with bright eyes and a cute little nose. His best friend in the whole wide world was a fluffy gray cat named Mimi. They played together every day — hide-and-seek in the living room, pretending to be pirates, and sharing snacks under the big mango tree in the backyard.

One sunny afternoon, Mommy gave Arkin a yummy chocolate cookie and told him, “This is your last one today, okay?”

Arkin nodded with a big smile, but as soon as Mommy left the room, he spotted the cookie jar on the counter. His eyes grew wide. Just one more won’t hurt, he thought.

With Mimi watching, Arkin climbed onto a stool, grabbed another cookie, and munched it happily.

Later, Mommy came back. “Arkin,” she said gently, “did you take another cookie?”

Arkin’s face froze. He glanced at Mimi, then shook his head quickly. “No, Mommy.”

Mimi’s ears twitched. She looked at Arkin with big, round eyes and softly meowed, “Meowww?”

That night, as Arkin lay in bed with Mimi curled beside him, he felt a little strange. He couldn’t sleep. His tummy didn’t hurt, but his heart did.

“Mimi,” Arkin whispered, “I told a lie.”

Mimi gave a soft purr and rubbed her head against his cheek.

“I said I didn’t eat the cookie,” Arkin said, “but I did. Mommy asked, and I lied.”

Mimi blinked slowly, as if saying, You know what to do.

The next morning, Arkin walked to Mommy, holding Mimi in his arms.

“Mommy,” he said in a tiny voice, “I ate another cookie. I said no, but that was a lie. I’m sorry.”

Mommy knelt down and hugged him tight. “Thank you for telling the truth, Arkin. That was very brave.”

“Lying made my heart feel sad,” Arkin said, pressing a hand to his chest. “I don’t like that feeling.”

Mommy smiled. “That’s because you have a kind heart. And telling the truth helps it stay happy.”

From that day on, Arkin remembered how it felt to lie—and how much better it felt to be honest. With Mimi by his side, he tried every day to be truthful, even when it was hard.

And each night, as Mimi purred beside him, Arkin slept with a smile—because his heart felt light, and his cookie jar adventures were now just part of his honest stories.
