Maine Mendoza explains her passion for writing

Although her rise to fame has been phenomenal, the launch of Maine Mendoza's first book titled "Yup, I Am That Girl" holds a special place in her heart

In a post on Thursday prior to the grand launch of the book, Maine took to Instagram to share her thoughts about her passion for writing.

 

It is a dream for someone who writes to have her own book. I have been writing since 2011, and while some of you may think that I am "just" a blogger, you must know that bloggers– writers in general– put so much of themselves into what they do. Writing is a passion. And I may not be a good writer but I enjoy and love expressing myself through the written word. I want to share my experiences and ideas with people; in the hope that I can make a difference in someone's life through my words. I want to inspire them the simplest way I could. And today might be just another day for some but not for me; today, another dream of mine will be fulfilled. I will be officially launching my book this afternoon and I couldn't be prouder of the fact that I wrote everything in it. You'll know some of my life's little adventures (and misadventures too!) #YupIAmThatGirl is an account of my life experiences and lessons, with pointers on the side, plus more info about me that you probably do not care about. Lol! I hope those who read my book will learn something from it, kung wala, ehhhhh.. sana meron! ???? Ngayon palang nagpapasalamat na ako sa lahat ng bibili at shempre sa mga bumili na. And to the people who never fail to support me in everything I do, maraming salamat po! And to the Big Guy up there, thank you God, for giving me this chance to be one step closer to who I want to be. ?

"It is a dream for someone who writes to have her own book. I have been writing since 2011, and while some of you may think that I am 'just' a blogger, you must know that bloggers — writers in general — put so much of themselves into what they do," Maine wrote.

For the Dubsmash Queen and Kalyeserye Sweetheart, "writing is a passion." Aside from being able to express herself, Maine also wants to use her writing to connect with people.

"I want to share my experiences and ideas with people; in the hope that I can make a difference in someone's life through my words. I want to inspire them the simplest way I could," Maine said. "And today might be just another day for some but not for me; today, another dream of mine will be fulfilled."

Maine describes her book as "an account of my life experiences and lessons, with pointers on the side" and added that, in characteristic self-depreciating fashion, it also contains facts about her that people "don't care about."

"Ngayon palang nagpapasalamat na ako sa lahat ng bibili at shempre sa mga bumili na. And to the people who never fail to support me in everything I do, maraming salamat po! And to the Big Guy up there, thank you God, for giving me this chance to be one step closer to who I want to be," her note concluded.

Maine will be joining her fans for the "Yup, I Am That Girl" launch on Thursday at the Trinoma Activity Center. —Aya Tantiangco/JST, GMA News
