RIDE OR DIE SERIES #3 We all have our fantasies. It's easy to believe that dreams can come true, that somehow, we can still find that spark even when the world says otherwise. Pero minsan, napapasobra rin. Minsan, kahit anong dami ng pruweba na imposible, pipilitin pa rin natin maniwala, kahit na magmukha tayong tanga. Parang pag-ibig lang. At some point, we all thought we'd have that perfect love story. Calista Elainne Fuentes, like any child, grew up believing in fairy tales and the timeless love of princes and princesses. She'd always held on to that idealistic view while living a modest life with her mother, seeing it in the pages of books and on the big screen---a world where love was always pure and true. But as the years passed, reality taught her something important about love: it wasn't made for everyone. For her, it became a fleeting promise---a moment as fragile as autumn leaves falling in the wind. And Zaniel Achiero Galvez was part of that season too, a memory left behind. Yet, after a year of fighting for Cali's attention, Zach finally did the unimaginable. He captured not just her gaze, but her heart. If we were in a fairy tale or a blockbuster romance, this would be the moment we call a happy ending. Pero hindi nga fairytale ang buhay. Hindi pelikula na may tiyak na ending. He loves her. She loves him just as much. What else could go wrong?

RIDE OR DIE SERIES #2 All those descriptions of Selena Maxine Del Fierro, the spare tire, the extra, ang pambansang bida-bida, at miski sabit lang daw sa pamilyang kinilala niyang tahanan, she'd heard them all loud and clear. After all, belonging to a distinguished family meant growing up with wealth and fame. Ngunit sa likod ng mga camera na 'yan, hindi iyon ang atensyon na kailangan niya. Every fulfilled-looking person has troubles hidden within, and while she may not have a choice, this isn't how she wants to live her life. Baka nga mali siya at tama sila. Baka nga sa mundong 'to, wala nang lugar para hanapin ang saya. Well, not until her messy existence collides with the energetic and driven Lucas Suarez. At last, she had seen the beauty of the world with and through him, despite their clashing personalities. And among the clear goals of this struggling working student is to turn Selena's aspirations into reality. Akala nila iyon na. Akala nila panalo na. They didn't see it coming, but like all beneficial things, everything has its end. No matter the times they'd go to the moon and back in the name of love, what they were holding onto was just never meant to last.

RIDE OR DIE SERIES #1 Independence. Capabilities. Feelings. Being labeled as a top student often comes with the burden of unrealistic expectations. Na para bang hindi ka na tao na pwede pang magkamali. Being a consistently good student brought joy to Yasmin Jairah Valencia, but it also brought a great deal of strain. Wala, eh. Gano'n talaga ang buhay. Hindi mo makakamit ang gusto mo sa isang pitik lang. Kaya naman, as a goal-oriented girl who was hell-bent on crossing the finish line, no matter what the fall was, she'd kept going.

And even after the tragic loss of her mother, she found the strength to rise and embrace the challenges that lay ahead. Sa madaling salita, she just doesn't see quitting as an option. But what if, right in the midst of her nearly uninterrupted life, the one thing that had previously held her back reappears? She previously desired a quiet life under the thousand stars, and now she has it. But then Samuel Khaji Enrile makes it harder all over again. Can she find her way back on course, even if it means battling the desires of her own heart this time?
