1.      Introduce/describe yourself…

-          Hmm ang real name ko Marie Antoinette Monte pero tinatawag ako ng friends ko ng Icee/Kaicee/Ice. Mahilig ako sa yelo, kumakain ako ng yelo and I’m 16 years of age. Supposedly, only child lang ako pero nasundan pa ng isa after 15 years hahaha. Sport akong tao. Naglalaro ako ng basketball, taekwondo at soccer. Nagplaplay rin ako ng instruments like guitar, piano and drums. Mahilig ako sumayaw. As in pag nakaearphones ako at ang nag play, yung mg sinasayaw ko? Napapasayaw ako kahit sa public hahaha sobrang nakakahiya >////< Pero walang hiya kasi ako XD Sensitive din ako pag dating sa mga kaibigan ko. Ayoko kasing naaaway mga kaibigan ko at reresbak ako agad pag pinaiyak ang kung sino sa mga kaibigan ko. Love guru din po ako haha. Isa akong certified kpop stan! Adik din ako sa anime so yeah hahaha and mostly, MADALDAL AKO PAG NAGING FRIENDS NA TAYO <3

2.      When did you start writing?

-          Grade 1, I’m already joining story writing contests & narrative essay writing contests until grade 6. And when I was 1st year high school, I started reading e-books from wattpad and when I’m turning 2nd year high school, I decided to make an account on wattpad and I was 2nd year when I started writing stories.

3.      Nakakapagod pala mag-English. Kaya… saang tadyang mo hinugot ang penname mo? Ano ang problema mo?

-          Hahahaha hmm I’m a superman lover and I had a crush who likes superman too and we are calling each other best friend that’s why my pen name is ILYSupermanB (B stands for best friend).

4.      Ano ang naramdaman mo noong kinontak ka ng LIB o noong nalaman mong na-approve ang story mo? Alam kong masaya, pero ano ang kuwento?

-          That day Febraruary 13, 2013, I’m gonna attend a kpop concert here in our place and that day, we have irregular classes so I brought my laptop and in our classroom we have wifi connection so I’m updating my story that time and I was surprised when Ms. Agnes messaged me on wattpad that they want to publish my novel “Sketch”. I accepted the offer and of course, I feel very happy, thankful to God and blessed.

5.      Sino ang nagtulak, nanadyak, bumugaw sa 'yo na magsulat? Sino ang mga inspirasyon mo sa pagsusulat?

-          My friends and classmates when I was 2nd year high school. My inspiration are my readers , friends, family and our dear God.

6.      Ano ang routine mo o writing process mo o ritwal mo bago magsulat? Paki-describe, briefly.

-          I pray to our dear God that I hope my readers will like my next update to my stories and when I’m typing the update for my story, I’m always listening to music. I can’t update without listening to music hahahaha. Because music is my writing buddy/partner ;)

7.      Paano mo tini-take ang mga negative comments/feedbacks sa mga story mo—kung meron man? (Sumagot ng nobela, at least 10 chapters. Joke lang.)

-          Magtatagalog na lang ako ulit haha. Kinoconsider ko siya as a positive comment. Kasi minsan yung mga negative feedbacks, dun ako matuto para next time, positive feedbacks na ang makukuha ko. Para saakin isa silang LESSON. For example, medyo magulo yung flow ng story ko. Shempre I’m making it clear and understandable para positive comments na ang mababasa ko. Alam ko naman kasi na given na ang makakuha ka ng negative feedbacks at shempre hinahabaan ko pasensya ko kasi alam kong yung ibang nega comments, maganda rin ang kakalabasan kasi natuto ka na nga J Basta ang ayoko lang yung mga rude comments like “Update na ang bagal naman!” “Tsk bitin ano bayan!” nadedepress talaga ako pag may mga nagcocomment ng ganyan. Minsan pa naman, tamad ako mag update hahaha kaya yun :3
