Her short story "Outlaws" was a finalist at the Philippines Free Press Literary awards and anthologized in Hoard of Thunder, Volume II.

When she does have to get up, it is to teach in the University of the Philippines-Diliman, where she was an assistant professor teaching literature and creative writing for seven years. You can also lure her out of the house to discover new food places or to hack public art and historical markers for an augmented reality game where she has currently logged in 618km just for walking around the city.
