I'm giving away copies of my books in PDF or eBook format for free download anywhere, anytime. I'm the author of four books. I also have a YouTube content on The Power of Kindness, Compassion, and Generosity.

Milestone achieved

On April 14, 2026, I donated some stuffed toys, books, and other valuable items such as cotton to an orphanage. I have already spoken with a social worker from this orphanage, and they are very encouraging of me because I said to them that I am simply an ordinary citizen who wants to help. The same social worker from this orphanage informed me about what they are doing for the children. There is a picture of me carrying the stuffed toys, books, and other valuable items inside one of my bags from Canada. I will continue being kind, compassionate, and generous within my capabilities because it is my life purpose. I even want to donate copies of my books (I'm the author of at least four books) to orphans and street children. However, it costs a lot of money to pay for the printing, so I am also working to make my lifestyle make sense and be sustainable.

I've been reading an article online about some Ateneo sociology students acting as street sweepers on campus because it had something to do with their research. I'm sincerely appreciative of the encouragement, even from strangers, to keep moving towards the direction of my life purpose which is to be kind, compassionate, and generous to orphans and street children. Someone said to me before that God has beautiful plans for me in my life. At the University of Santo Tomas, as a first year high school student, I experienced being trained in survival skills with my classmates, and like I told our mathematics teacher, he's still my teacher to this day, whom I deeply respect because I learned from him the discipline of faith. I wanted to be a values education teacher because of my theology teacher, who really lives rent-free in my mind to this day. The people who first supported my books were Dr. Tony L., one of the chairpersons at St. Luke's BGC; some Ateneo students; and others whom I will always be very thankful to. I hear from some of them that they want to take pictures with me. 

About Khadijah Maulion Masorong (About Me)

I'm 28 years old and a woman who is not easily broken. I want to keep on writing, learning, and encouraging literacy for all because I believe in the power of education and, while I'm likely to get some strange reactions for saying it (I don't complain about that as much as possible; I try to be as respectful as possible towards one another despite our differences), the power of prayer. I've always been from the Philippines. As I've indicated several times here, I also want to be kind, compassionate, and generous to orphans and street children all the time. 

I'm also fine with cooking carbonara for some children, and I have been grateful for the chance to cook for them. I pour my heart into cooking carbonara and other recipes. 

I'm the author of four books, including My Journey, and my debut novel, The Last Email She Never Sent. In the end, the lives I live between pages are as real as any I have ever known. They are filled with sun, rain, spice, and salt; with laughter and sorrow, wisdom and folly. They are alive in me, and through me, they may touch the lives of others. Writing is the art of living beyond limits, the act of capturing the ineffable, the gift of tracing infinity with a single hand. And in that gift, I find the purest joy, the deepest wonder, and the endless horizon of my journey as an author.

For My Journey, I never imagined life would teach me its most powerful lessons through grief. The deaths of my two siblings arrived close together, collapsing time and certainty. There is no language that fully prepares you for that kind of rupture. One moment, the world feels legible. The next, it does not. My Journey does not turn this experience into a spectacle. It does not extract inspiration from pain as if grief were a resource to be mined. Instead, it treats loss with seriousness. This is precisely the kind of reading that prepares students for civic life. This approach, that integrity matters more than applause, is especially important for students who are still forming their sense of self. It assumes that students can hold these realities without being diminished by them. This is education in its most humane form, one that treats students not as consumers of information but as emerging citizens capable of judgment. My Journey is confident in the intelligence of those who read it.

For The Last Email She Never Sent, it's the most hopeful book that I've ever written. 

I'm like a samurai now. The samurai, once feudal warriors, became students and scholars. They traveled abroad, worked menial jobs, studied relentlessly, and returned to serve their people. Schools were built. Laboratories established. Books translated. Knowledge was treated as a national resource. I learned this kind of writing the traditional way. I spent long hours with the Grammar and Comprehension series by Prentice Hall, with The Elements of Style, and with stacks of magazines, brochures, pamphlets, and everyday printed matter from the 1940s onward, most of them found through online libraries, preserved like pressed flowers. There is a virtue in returning to that era's sensibility, especially now. Elegance is a form of respect for the reader's time, for the subject at hand, and for the craft itself. It becomes legible not just today, but years from now, like a well-kept book. I speak in a voice that earns trust rather than demands attention. It reads well today, and it will still read well when the fads have moved on, which is the real test of good work. The result is work that is legible today, intelligible tomorrow, and respected for years to come. Each arrangement of thought is weighed as one might weigh coins by hand, feeling the difference in balance, density, and value. To procure writing from me is to procure a work of refinement, where cadence is cultivated as rigorously as vocabulary or argument. It is to invest not only in writing, but in the experience of reading, in the satisfaction that comes from clarity imbued with elegance, precision, and resonance.

I say to people that I kind of grew up surrounded by a lot of privilege because I have always been provided for. I eventually had to become self-sufficient, like getting a job, because I want a certain lifestyle for myself. I have always wanted to feed the hungry, such as orphans and street children. I want to be kind, compassionate, and generous all of the time because that is who I am. I saw my late sister die in front of me at the hospital, and my late brother died naturally shortly afterward, so they died almost back to back. I became a book author because I knew in my heart that if I could be good at something, even just one thing, I could make my lifestyle make sense through my honest day’s labor. I have always been the kind of person to choose the road less traveled because it makes sense to always do the right thing, even and especially when nobody is looking. I always have integrity, and I am firm in my convictions because even and especially when I face difficult circumstances, and it seems like doing the wrong thing is easier, I choose the road less traveled instead and remain true to myself. I want to always be true to myself because I will never let circumstances define me or take away my integrity.

I kind of grew up surrounded by books and many computers, and I taught myself to read encyclopedias and thick medical books. Along the way, I also taught myself to program video games, which allowed me to become familiar with more advanced coding. At the age of fourteen, I had an entrepreneurship magazine, and I became curious about freelancing. I coded simple JPEG files into custom WordPress themes, and that was my first experience getting paid in my entire life. I was eventually approached by a Canadian client who became my first writing client. I know what it is like to be forgotten by the world, in simple terms. In my hurt, I always hoped for the world to be kinder and more compassionate, so I became an author of four books to keep moving forward instead of becoming bitter. Had I not become an author, I would have wanted to become a child psychologist because I believe that imagination is powerful, and stories such as music that touch our hearts have the power to make an impact. I learned from an early age that if you are going through something very difficult in life, you have to keep facing it and keep moving forward. As a young professional, I make sure that the job is done, and it is done immaculately.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my story.

I want to keep on writing. I once wrote that beauty is a culture's memory. It is who we were and what we had hoped to become. 

I also once wrote my humble opinions that our senior citizens need more than respect; they need sustained care—accessible vitamins, reliable medicine, and consistent food security. They need livelihood options that match their strength, not diminish their dignity. Many can still teach, mentor, garden, or take part in light enterprise. Health programs that encourage daily movement, social engagement, and preventive care can extend not just their years, but their sense of purpose. They also need financial literacy suited to their stage in life, protection from exploitation, and systems that make their benefits easy to access. A nation that forgets its elders forgets its memory.

Again, these are my humble opinions, which reflect or mirror my life's purpose, which is to be kind, compassionate, and generous. I simply try to be kind, compassionate, and generous to orphans and street children because that's manageable for me.

I hope that you always pray for me to succeed in the eyes of God or that I'm confident in being a good person, because that's all that's important to me.
