Acknowledgement and Dedications:

The Canvas and Perhaps would never be complete without the following persons. Shin Hyunae would like to express her heartfelt gratitude to all who had made the story a success. It’s not easy to finish something like this and the people who are behind it deserve a big hug from me.

First, above all the other things and without comparison, I would like to thank God for giving me this so-called talent and for being always there for me when all others left. I would forever be in debt to the Almighty who had done miracles right under my nose. I want to write so as not to disappoint God and think that I’m wasting out the skill He had bestowed on me. All of my stories would be an epic fail without His guidance and love. I’m sorry if I failed You almost every time, that’s why I’ll do better next time. My parents for the nourishment and considerate upbringing into this world as a good daughter and Christian. Shin Hyunae loves them with all her heart for their kind understanding and she could never ask for more than their love. To my mother for being ever supportive over my writing ambition and for printing and binding the story herself. To my father for always showing the strict motivation and discipline that made me stronger every day (he kept my laptop in order to prevent me from writing but I always find it). Mama and Papa, thank you and I’m sorry. My teachers, my mentors who had taught not only the prior lessons in class but also the good morals to being a well-rounded person. I could never write this good so far if not for their drive in telling me to keep on writing and never give up. I’m sorry for being the worst. To the school paper and my staffers, to our advisers, you guys are my training grounds where I developed myself in this field. Thank you very much for keeping me company and sharing the same passion for three years in the school paper.  Live on and do your best in press conferences, hubaes. I’m counting on you Jaiza (my dongsaeng who would be taking over my Editor in Chief position in the paper this year). To my sunbaes in the paper, the seniors ahead of me...Ate Ana, Ate Aj, Kuya Brylle, Ate Patrice, Ate Michiko, Ate Analayne, Ate Fatima and all other Sunbaenims...you brought the determination in me to keep the fire, to believe in myself more. To the two sirs, in you had I learned that I could never win anything unless I trust myself? Kkkkk. Thank you for the best writing years of my life. Thank you everyone---all of you are my extended family. Thank you for adopting me and taking care of me. Of course, this project would not be complete without the very kind support of my classmates whom I terribly miss. Firstly to Jinesse who plays Kim Soojin in Perhaps, I’m sorry for the minimal exposure. I had little time and thinking capacity to where and when to insert you. I will do better next time
