Some personal updates ⚠️

Hey guys,

I wanna provide some information regarding my current health situations.

Over the last few months, my health issues have been an on-and-off case, and anytime it's getting somewhat stable again, I'm faced with new challenges to keep up and meet with the plans I've had for Patreon for a long while. A lot of compromises and sacrifices were made in order to open up all the Tiers (that were teased since long over a year ago), and I've managed to accomplish that on time for my birthday month last month. But for that, I've been in a terrible state of health for a long timr, and though I tried not to publicly talk about it, I wanna be clear about my intentions, for you to have transparency, andrealistic expectations for me.

My health significantly declined during my constant flying periods for events and schedules back in Oct 2024 onwards, all the way until last month. In between there were times where I was experiencing working in the cold weather in temperate climates for the first time, and my body couldn't tolerate it. The consequences lasted months due to lack of proper rest and healing process. Last month of February was my last hard push since I wanted to make the birthday month really extra (how I would every year), and I'm relieved I made it through. On top of all my struggles, I have had new things to add and work on every month (opening up new Tiers means I doubled my amount of rewards over the course of 6 months) and I haven't been able to catch up well with the increased workload. I'm still leaving many past sets incomplete and for that, I'm deeply sorry and want to apologize for inconveniencing you. I only hope all these information can provide you with contexts and maybe explanations, not to justify my incapability to keep up with my promises, but just to seek understanding and acknowledgment. I have been and will still prioritize on compensating you and all of your support, under any circumstances.

As of right now, I unfortunately just caught a fever for the last few days. It was more lasting than expected and came with lots of problems in my respiratory system, so I'm not sure if it's another Covid session for me, but nonetheless it's taking quite a toll on me. I'm trying my best to focus on recovering, but I'm not confident in giving out new contents or updates anytime soon. However I would still lay out my expected delivery of past contents for you guys here (takes place as soon as I can start working again), and detailed updates + announcements in the future will be in Community Chat, so please keep in touch there!

- 50% of February rewards (all links will have 50-60% of total files) - expected by March 12-15

- Previews of March rewards will start being worked on March 15 onwards (until end of month)

- In between previews updates, I'll start revisiting back on 2024 Sep/Oct rewards and finish all remaining sets respectively.

- March rewards pre-save links will be sent at the last day of March, with previewed photos in 4K-6K HR. 50% will be up by the first week of April, similarly.

- During April, I'll revisit and finish up the remaining of Dec/Jan rewards.

- Previews for April sets will be updated from 15 April onwards. Similarly, pre-save links to be sent out at the end of month, and take one more week to be updated to about 50% overall, realistically if things go accordingly.

- Same patterns, May will follow up with Feb + March remaining rewards, plus that first half of April; June will follow up with half of May, full April + HALF OF JUNE REWARDS before the links are sent out at the end of the same month. This will be my first catching up point.

- July will start with finishing all May sets, all June sets, and at least 50% of its own rewards will be available by the time the links are out. I will also start to have irl event/convention schedules during this month. There will be merchandise/logistics matters I'll have to take care of, but if everything follows through as above, my workload here will start to be relieved by then, and I'll have more time to handle irl works.

Honestly idk why I feel the need to share all of these, it's not 100% necessary to know, but if you really need transparency and expectations, these are all the details I can provide realistically. I can't expect things to go 100% smoothly all the way, but I just wanna show how in the very best case scenario, it will still take me quite some time to have the ideal workflow again. On top of that I'll still be managing my studio in Singapore, flying from time to time due to other personal works and schedules, I'll have a new apartment moving phase this May and prepare to open another whole new studio in Vietnam soon after. It's really a lot to handle but I don't have a lot of time to compromise anything, and all I can ask for is your understanding and patience, for this is how I'm working hard for a better long-term in everything.

I'm sorry for such a long post. With the illness it took me a whooping 2 hours to finish writing these down, but I'm happy to have it here even just for myself to look back at and follow along. Hopefully you would join me and cheer for me until the end. Take care and stay healthy as well. Thank you so much.
