Matagal nang tinalikuran ni Annika Faustino ang buhay sa lalawigan ng Elena dahil sa tatlong dahilan: gyera, panganib, at alaala ng namayapa niyang ina. Kaya naman, nang bumalik siya sa Elena paglipas ng tatlong taon, unti-unting bumalik ang lahat ng alaala na akala niya'y nalimutan na niya. Hindi kasama roon si Technical Sergeant Andrus Dela Cerna na noon pa ma'y lihim nang nakatingin at nanonood sa bawat kilos niya. Kahit ilang beses nang nagkrus ang landas nila, hindi siya kailanman naalala ng dalaga. Matinding takot, pagtangis, at putok ng baril ang dahilan kung bakit sa muling pagkrus ng kanilang landas, hindi na nawala sa mga mata nila ang isa't isa. It is forbidden to love her because she's from a different world. He shouldn't fall for the princess because he's not a prince. He's a soldier. He fires a gun to protect the princess. It is wrong to love him because killing is his favorite sport. She shouldn't fall for someone who loves war, and the sound of gunfire. July 30, 2021 - January 11, 2022

The reform of art in all ways possible sounded absurd to Lavien Rosette. After all, how could a painting of a rebel painter spark a revolution and overthrow the government? For sure, it would not cause such an impact. But she was mistaken. Meeting a boy whose views clashed with hers put her values to the test. As a man of passion, Tres Lagdameo had always believed that each stroke of a painter's newly-proclaimed canvas should have a diction---it is the painter's life after all. When he supported the idea of expressing a revolution through painting, he realized he had joined the rebels. He wasn't bothered by it; Lavien was. That's why she despised how passionate and dedicated he was in pursuing a revolution. But what could go wrong in a man who lives for his passion? She was curious how far it could take him, especially since she had strayed from her own. Because, since time immemorial, Lavien Rosette only wanted one thing: the perfection of her pirouettes. Pursuing the art league as a prima ballerina was fulfilling, and she had no regrets. But ever since her downfall happened, her attraction turned into ashes, her love for the stage lost its spark, and her skin dreaded the fabric. And it would only take a little time before she lost her passion... before she lost herself. January 17, 2020 - July 2, 2020

Teen Hearts #3 Aside from my dream of becoming a famous and great performer on stage and television, I also dream to become the delinquent's girl.

Teen Hearts #2 Paano ko ba siya makukuha? Hindi naman kasi siya iyong tipo ng lalaking mahilig sa babae, sa parties, sa alak at kung anu-ano pang bisyo. Hindi rin siya iyong tipong bad boy at maraming barkada. Hindi siya hokage sa mga babae. Hindi rin siya mapang-asar at pa-cool kid. Sa lahat ata ng iba't ibang klase ng lalaking mahirap makuha, siya ata ang pinaka mahirap at impossible sa lahat. Kasi isa siyang good boy. Isa siyang tunay at magandang halimbawa ng anak ng Diyos. Palagi siyang may bible na dala sa kanyang bag. May bracelet siyang rosary at higit sa lahat, isa siyang sakristan. Paano ko ba siya makukuha? How will I get this religious, God-fearing, and very devoted boy? How will I get him when I'm just a pretty girl with nothing to be proud of?
