I love the way Dr. Magan elucidates the complications of life. While it's true that life can be complicated, it’s precisely these complexities that define our humanity and make life worth living. In the context of storytelling, the author's portrayal of these complications offers profound insights, often leading readers to epiphanies that challenge their perspectives and reshape their worldviews. The ability to capture the human experience and demonstrate the transformative power of storytelling is, I believe, what defines the true essence and beauty of literature.
Dr. Magan is truly a treasure at CTU-Danao, and I am incredibly honored to be one of her students

I know Doctor Magan for quite some time and most of her works are banking on the bible and she’d also love to incorporate the realistic side or view of the readers. Talking about the biblical side of her novelette, I can tell that “John 3:1-21” has something to do with this as stated you have to be born again-not the religion but the idea of redeeming yourself just like what Dr. Magan made mention about her novelette. Covid 19 had an immense impact to people’s lives during that time not only people but also mother earth redeemed itself, see how trees and flowers grow? Indeed an awakening to everyone. About the title “Albatross” it is a good luck or sometimes labeled as curse or a burden, and Dr. Magan mentioned her city which led me to a question “What’s hidden?”.
