Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."

Nang unang masilayan ni Serena si Jared Atienza ay nakita niya rito ang kalutasan ng mga suliraning iniwan sa kanya ng namayapang mga magulang. Jared Atienza was filthy rich. Bale-wala rito ang halaga ng pagkakasangla ng asyenda nila. That he was sinfully handsome was an added bonus. Kailangang maakit niya ito sa anumang paraan. Jared couldn't care less about his grandfather's codicil. He had come to value his independence. Marriage meant giving it up. His parents were wealthy. Hindi sila maghihirap kung hindi siya mag-aasawa. But that changed when he saw Serena Manzanares. Though she wasn't his type, he desired her. Kailangang mapapayag niya ito sa marriage of convenience-sa anumang paraan.

Anim na taon na ang nakalipas, si Ivan at ang dalawang kasama niya-all of them international agents of high caliber-ay iniligtas si Nayumi Navarro mula sa tangkang pag-kidnap dito. Hindi nakilala ni Nayumi ang tatlong taong nagligtas sa kanya. Pero nanatili sa isip at puso niya ang pinuno ng mga ito, kahit na hindi man lang niya nasilayan ang mukha nito. She was not fatalistic. Pero isang araw ay nagtagpo sila. Muli siyang iniligtas ni Ivan sa muntik nang pagkapahamak. Now her fantasy... her knight in shining armour had a face-a handsome, hardened man, with no interest in loving a woman. And if there was one thing he wanted from her-it was sex with a capital S. "Don't fall in love with me, Nayumi. Trust me, I always say good-bye.

Dana Isabella-Diana and Joshua's daughter- was curiously reading her dead grandmother's diary nang sa pag-angat niya ng ulo'y kakaiba na ang kanyang kapaligiran. She was in the same house... the same room and the same bed... tamang oras, araw, at buwan. Subalit hindi tamang taon. She was in her grandmother's house in Binondo in the year 1928! Back in time, she met the young Leon Fortalejo, bilang si Isabelita. And she fell in love with the handsome Spaniard. Pag-ibig na hindi nagkaroon ng katuparan kahit noong panahon ng kanyang Lola Isabelita. At nasa 1928 siya upang maisakatuparan iyon. Could she change history?

Kristine Series 23 - Wild Enchantment Adriana's new stepmother considered her an excess baggage. Through cunning manipulation, ipinaubaya siya nito sa pinsan nito-filthy rich Jordan Atienza. He was tall, dark, and definitely-No, hindi niya ia-apply rito ang salitang "handsome." "Handsome" was for movie stars and too tame to be applied to Jordan. And Jordan was anything but tame. He was a beast! Hitler personified. At kinasusuklaman ito ni Adriana sa akusasyong sisirain niya ang pagsasama ng daddy niya at ng bagong asawa nito. Now Adriana considered herself Cinderella with a wicked stepmother, one wicked stepsister (sa katauhan ng pinsan niya). At ang bahay ni Jordan bilang prison tower niya. (Oh, that's Rapunzel's!). Anyway, would Jordan qualify as her Prince Charming? Hmp. Duda siya roon. Beast, baka pa. (Oh, dear, she was really mixing up her fairy tales!)

"My sun sets and shines on you, Jea. I cannot imagine myself living without you..." Their friendship was like wine, tumatamis sa paglipas ng panahon. Jea was Troy's little sweetheart. Troy was Jea's pare. Si Troy ay kilalang playboy, papalit-palit ng girlfriends. Si Jea ay playgirl... at papalit-palit din ng... girlfriends?! Kung kailan huminto sa pagpapalit-palit ng girlfriends si Troy at si Jea sa panliligaw sa kapwa babae ay walang nakakaalam. But they got the shock of their lives when one morning they woke up in each other's arms and as naked as the day they were born. Soon they found out they were no longer friends. But could they be lovers?

"Now what shall it be? Go home or have a drink with me?" tanong ni Benedict, watching her over the rim of his goblet. Julianne saw the challenge in his eyes. Itinaas niya ang mukha, accepting the challenge, tulad ng pagtanggap ng maliit na insekto sa paanyaya ng gagamba na gumapang sa sapot nito. And this man wasn't an ordinary spider. He was a wolf spider. A predator. But come to think of it, she didn't have anything against wolf spiders. "Okay... I'll have one or two shots," she said boldly, wise or foolish, so let it be. Benedict grinned devastatingly. And she stopped breathing.

Madaling-araw na pero nasa deck pa rin ng pag-aaring yate si Renz Navarro, tired and bored to death. He had just made love to his current girlfriend and found no satisfaction. Nang mula sa kung saan, nakita niyang sumampa sa railings ng yate ang isang... babae! His yacht was more than a thousand yards away from Manila Bay. Ang magkaroon ng hindi inaasahang bisita mula sa madilim na karagatan sa ganoong oras ay bahagi lang ng pagkamangha niya. What took his breath away was the fact that the woman who climbed up to his deck was wearing nothing but seawater dripping down her body!

Sino meron na nito mga beshie?
