"I always set a standard. Basta kapag sinabi kong ayaw ko sa isang bagay o tao, there's no way you'll ever change my mind. Heck, I don't know what had gotten into me and woke up one day choking on my own words. For the first time, I broke a rule I never expected to violate. Was I drugged? Was I hypnotized? Was I manipulated? Or worse, was I hexed? Damn, I don't really know. Basta nagsimulang magbago ang lahat nang nahulog ang loob ko sa kanya. The attraction I share with him is foreign - it's a feeling that never felt wrong. Is it really true that if you're with the person who's perfectly meant for you... the difference doesn't matter and everything feels all right?"

(Amorous Revival Series #5 - SKIPPED HEARTBEATS)
Author's Note: The final installment on this series contains themes that may be disturbing or repugnant to others. I am trying to explore a flavor of fictional story that features a different facet of romance - a machination of Romanticism coalesced with a tinge of Realism. If you're uncomfortable reading a story with this type of genre, kindly refrain from doing so. But, I assure you that the plot itself also revolves around family, acceptance, self-discovery and healing.
WARNING: The story has too much profanity. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
