Having an e-book copy of No Strings Attached on my iBooks is all thanks to Mina V. Esguerra's generosity. It's free from her instafreebies giveaway. Yay! Thanks.
And now after reading this book, the story left me hanging, left me hanging with one question, and that is would I be like Carla when I am already 29 and almost reaching the big three-oh in a few months? The fact that I am an NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth) for 25 years is still a threat to my barren love life. But I believe faith does not make things easy, it makes them possible (Luke 1:37). So, as long as I have faith, God will surely, positively, and certainly, send a Dante directly to me sa tamang panahon. That is without a doubt. (Please God... >_<)
Here's the blurb of No Strings Attached by
Mina V. Esguerra (from goodreads.com)
Carla is a whiz at her job: she’s efficient, reliable, and a total genius when it comes to putting something together at the last minute. The snag is she’s single and turning the big three-oh in a few months. Her girl best friend (yes,
she’s married just like the other girls in Carla’s barkada) keeps
trying to set her up with stable banker-types, while her guy best friend
(single – the other single one) encourages her to play the field – no strings attached. Then, through no setup or extraordinary circumstance,
Carla meets Dante. Hot, smug, sexy Dante. Definitely not a banker-type
and seemingly too good to be true. So there’s got to be a catch. There is. He’s five years younger. Is the universe telling Carla to finally let loose and enjoy a fling with a younger man? Or is there a lot more to this awkward situation that she bargained for?

An opportunity knocked and
I grabbed it like a rock.
Signing up to #StrangeLit Online
The workshop is one of the few right things I did so far in my life.
That's the answer I had in mind
when the writing guru, Mina V. Esguerra, asked us, the #StrangeLit Writers, to
evaluate the whole experience we had from the workshop during the second
a face-to-face meeting last September 5, 2015, at Summit Media Office,
Robinsons Cybergate Tower 3, Pioneer St. Mandaluyong City.
#StrangeLit is an online writing
workshop that aims to produce stories in Paranormal X Urban Fantasy Genre. The
workshop ran from August 1 to September 5 with two optional face-to-face
meeting (August 2 and September 5). It was sponsored by Buqo. The sponsor,
Buqo is a digital bookstore that aims to promote the digital age in reading
books. It means stories and mags in ebook format. And it was organized by
Mina V. Esguerra along with other people from different fields of
expertise.
#StrangeLit provided activities
and lessons that really helped the estimated 90 writers to meet the deadline in
submitting a finished and edited Manuscript. At the end of the workshop, 41
Paranormal X Urban Fantasy Stories will soon be ready to be downloaded and read
on your smartphone or tablet (very soon... I'll blog it, once they are out on
Buqo store).
