ABOUT The Woman Behind a Book

Not fond of hide and seek anymore…

Loquacious, but fond of soliloquy.

Simple, yet fascinated by elegance.

As a lover of literature, Lailanie calls herself a bookworm. She could finish a book in one sitting. Once she was hooked with a 377-page book that she juggled reading it with house chores and personal routine for ten hours. She is fond of Jane Austen‘s wit and prowess, England’s literary genius. But she’s more than amazed of America’s well-published SDA Christian author, Ellen G. White. She was more than blessed of her numerous books in various topics…and she gained more inspiration to write.

‎”Tis the good reader that makes the good book.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader, the writer learns.” – P. L. Travers

Curly as you could vividly imagine, her artistic and creative ideas can’t surpass the natural beauty of the Life’s Author’s open book, nature. Butterflies are indeed significant with her  personality. She was amazed at the mystery of metamorphosis where she gained object lesson and inspiration about character development. She still considers herself an irksome and slow caterpillar, and yet hoping one day, she would be transformed into a picturesque butterfly and soar higher above the clouds of mediocrity.

“Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new.” 2 corinthians 5:17

Give me more sunshine of Your righteousness, give me more rain of Your Holy Spirit, I wanna grow more with You, my tender and loving Gardener! I want to spend my life lookin’ up at YOU!

As a wordsmith, she used numerous pseudonyms and had been a ghostwriter as well. The desideratum of scribbling an open billet-doux through this blog is to share God’s unfathomable and unchanging love. Join her as she ventures the vicissitudes of life!

Meanwhile, Curly Bookworm has transformed into Straightened Bookworm. But it isn’t permanent. 🙂

metamorphosis 🙂

She’s also shared the passion of advocacy with some NGO’s, startups, and social entrepreneurship which promote compassion; helping impoverished people, both young kids, and young-at-heart adults.

• BAG943 is a mission-driven business that incorporates social responsibility by adhering to a “Buy One. Give One.” promise through a social arm called BAG OF DREAMS Project. For every BAG943 purchase, another bag is given to an impoverished child from its pool of adopted public schools across the country.

Humbled to have supported AmBAG campaign as a creative blogger, and buyer of BAG 943. 🙂
