Synopsis:

Rhian is a 14 year old kid with her life ahead of her. An A+ student, track and field athlete, everybody's best friend and the darling of the family. Perfect na sana ang lahat, nang biglang manghihina si Rhian. She discovers she has leukemia. Even so, puno ng pag-asa ang batang si Rhian. Siya pa mismo ang nagpapalakas sa loob ng parents niya.

Uncertain of her future, Rhian decides to create a time capsule - a sealed tube with various contents inside - her diary, her lucky track and field jersey, wristband na regalo ng best friend niya, poems she wrote, a brass pocket watch na pamana ni lolo niya, a coin na napulot niya sa bakuran, movie ticket frome her first date and a letter to the person who will find her capsule. She buries the time capsule sa bakanteng lote. Hoping it will serve as her legacy ano man ang mangyari sa hinaharap.

Sixteen years later, Glaiza moves in sa village. Glai is a landscape architect. She's gardening nang may matamaang matigas na bagay ang trowel niya sa lupa. She starts digging...

To her surprise, she finds Rhi's time capsule. She opens it and makikita niya ang contents nito.

Glaiza will start reading Rhi's diary, poems and finally the letter. Makikila niya si Rhian through the items na iniwan nito sa capsule.

Glai will find herself drawn to Rhi's life. Putol ang diary at nais niyang malaman ang nangyari kay Rhian. Malalaman niya sa diary na tumira sa village sina Rhian. Mahahanap niya ang bahay only to find out na iba na ang nakatira dito. Rhi's family migrated abroad sixteen years ago at iyon lang ang alam ng owner.

Isang araw, Glaiza will get a call from a client. Pupuntahan niya ito sa bahay para makita ang ila-landscape na hardin. 

Malalaman ni Glaiza kalaunan na si Rhian ito. Nabuhay ito at nagbalik sa Pilipinas. Ipagtatapat ni Glai na siya ang nakahukay sa time capsule. Mafa-fascinate si Rhian sa revelation.

Magiging magaan ang loob ng dalawa sa isa't-isa as they work on the lanscaping project. Mahuhulog si Glai kay Rhi. Saka niya biglang malalaman na may asawa na pala ito.

Malalaman din ni Glai na kaya nagbalik si Rhian sa Pinas ay dahil tinatakasan nito ang asawang foreigner na nananakit. Hina-hunting nito si Rhian.

*Rhian will fall for Glaiza ngunit hindi ito aamin dahil takot siya sa maaring magawa ng barumbado niyang asawa.

*May mahalagang papel ang mga items na nasa capsule sa kabuuan ng story.

I think time capsules are cool. Maybe I'll make one myself. Not to be opened until 2099. :)
