My name is Jose Enrique Santos, and I was a rich Filipino man (actually, I still am). I had many butlers, maids, businesses, and a white mansion on the hill in Quezon City; therefore, I had everything as the president made me the cabinet member for Foreign Affairs even I had no experience with politics; however, I maintained myself to be humble because I knew wealth would not satisfy me because there was something I truly needed to fulfill my life: love. I would surrender my wealth to the poorest family in Philippines in exchange for it.

Therefore, I conducted a plan: I would go to different countries to see if they had someone for me. Sequentially, I started in Australia, U.K, Canada then America. Alright, I did my mission, and each of those countries taught me a valuable lesson:

Australia-Never assume a girl is ready to be in a relationship with you because she likes you since "like" has many definitions.

U.K-Actually, U.K taught me two lessons: be yourself. Here is the biggest part: even you are the person who can speak with the sexiest British Accent, you don't need to speak it to impress her. Then, the second one was expect the unexpected (sacrifices must be made).

Canada-A girl and a boy can remain friends without involving romantic moments.

U.S-Love is a powerful thing, which cannot be forced. Everybody wants to be with someone, but being with someone is not and never will be the way to be happy because the only person who depends on your happiness is yourself. Like what Caleb McLaughlin said, "Embrace your face, and be your biggest fan"

This is actually a record, so I know what I will write before your eyes could open the first page of this book, yet I still need to warn you that you are on a ride for a love story with a philosophical lessons.
