Maria Gemma Hilotin, a Filipino "lifelong learner" started writing at Grade 5. She calls it her outlet.

She is simply a woman, writing her heart out, scribbling the stories of her life. Hoping that as she uncover mysteries of life in its simplicity and beauty, readers will also be able to relate, find common things, learn, unlearn, undo, redo, own, justify, correct, metamorphose, change… life as it is.
