It was posted by user @frostfambam and written by fandom favorite Gwy Saludes. The story of “Along España” is about a Thomasian hottie named Red and Lasallian blogger Avery who were supposed to be exes and separated on bad terms, but because of a research project were brought back together.
The thread is a series on a true love story, hilarious group chats, and the negative effects of what ‘ghosting’ meant, as if nothing had happened – a total stranger that hooked people to continue following the social serye.

On an exclusive interview, Gwy said she took her inspiration from her own life experiences as a student at the University of Santo Tomas.

“Naaliw ako doon, thank you! Thank you and excited na ako na mabasa pa ‘yung next na mangyayari so good luck and galingan mo!,” the actress told Gwy.
Gwyn got even more motivated because of Kathryn’s message to her that she was now questioning herself and her capability in writing.
“Kathryn’s video message motivated me to continue writing and exploring. Hindi niya siguro alam pero sobra-sobra ‘yung epekto niya sa akin kahit sa simpleng ganoon lang. I love her. Isa siya sa mga inspirasyon ko. Thank you so much kay Juan Miguel Severo. He really knows how to motivate a writer.”
Other celebrities also reacted on Juan Miguel Severo’s post, as well as Gwy’s reply in thanking him for appreciating and loving her work.
