Phoenix would rather stay rooted in Baguio and work his ass off rather than experienced the buzzing life in the center city. He would rather bury himself with work in his kingdom rather than to go out and have some dirty fun like his lunatic friends. He would rather feel the cold damp weather than to feel the heat in the center city. He hated traffic. He hates noisy street. He hates hot places. He fucking hates everything that has something to do with the big buzzing city. ... then everything changes... And those changes were not acceptable to him. Not in a lifetime. CECELIB | C.C.

Calyx Vargaz was a self-proclaim playboy, self-centered and charismatic. He was downright handsome with his beguiling pitch-black eyes and set of dimples. According to a bachelor magazine, he was worth billions and that made women swoon over him... But not all women. Not Etheyl. Etheyl had sex with Calyx. A one-night stand that was followed by another and another. Alam ni Etheyl na sa bawat pagtatagpo nila ni Calyx, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob nito sa binata. Pero alam din ni Etheyl na katulad ng lahat ng kalalakihan sa mundo, lolokohin lang siya nito at naniniwala siya sa kasabihang "prevention is better than cure". She will prevent Calyx from entering her heart because heartbreak couldn't be easily cured. Kaya nang magbiro ang tadhana at nagtapat si Calyx kay Etheyl ng nararamdaman, kaagad itong binasted ng dalaga. Pero ang binata, sige pa rin ng sige at hindi ito titigil hangga't hindi nakakamit ang matamis na oo ni Etheyl. Paano maibibigay ni Etheyl ang matamis nitong oo kung bago pa nito makilala si Calyx ay isa na itong avid fan ng ampalaya? Can Calyx romanced Etheyl into saying yes, or will Calyx ended up brokenhearted? They say love was accepting someone fully, can Calyx accept Etheyl's past? CECELIB | C.C.
