(Previous title: "Sharky and the Giants") TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER LIB. Book available on LIBOfficial stores starting Sept 10. Cherry An Versoza is the number one fan of the Blue Sharks. Kyle André Razon is the captain of their rival team, the Green Giants. On the way to the game, these two had a heated encounter which ended up in a high-risk bet.

At the end of the game, who will she cheer for? #WillYouGoOutWithUs

When you try to fight over your thoughts and feelings, who would win? Iisipin mo lang naman ang dapat mong gawin. Iisipin mo lang ang dapat mong maramdaman, kokontrolin mo lang naman ang damdamin mo. Pero kahit anong pilit mo, hindi mo rin ito ganap na mapipigilan. But what if you can't win against your brain lobes and heart chambers? Maiisip mo ang dapat mong gawin, pero dadamdamin mo 'yon kapag nangyari na. Sa huli, hindi palaging sundin ng puso ang isip, at hindi rin laging kayang patahimikin ng isip ang puso. Seracielle Gomez thinks she wants to quit her job, but her heart still loves it. She is torn between walking away for her peace of mind and staying because of her passion she can't easily let go of. Every decision feels heavy, as if her thoughts and emotions are pulling her in different directions. Then here is the man who can always settle his mind. Wellier Valerio is always certain with his thoughts, and whatever he decides, he always follows. He lives by logic, discipline, and control, never letting emotions cloud his judgment. He appears heartless in the eyes of others, as if nothing can shake the order he has built within himself. Two minds. Two ways of living. One story where logic and emotion collide, and neither of them can easily win in Lobes Between Chambers.

Bakit kaya hindi na lang gumawa ng perpektong tao ang Diyos? Bakit kailangan may mga taong halos sambahin at may mga taong halos pandirian? Bakit hindi pantay at patas ang mundo para sa lahat? Those are the questions that haunt me late at night. I belong to those who don't receive love because I do not meet people's standards. I belong to those who lack privilege because I am not considered beautiful. I am not like them. I am not like those other pretty women. I am not what he wants me to be. But then came this man, my fake boyfriend, who made me realize that I am enough just as I am. He showed me that there's beauty in embracing who you are. That there's relief in believing in yourself, even when others don't. That you can sleep peacefully when you stop worrying about others' opinions. That man is Rafael Magnius Gonzalvez, a dentistry student, who told me that among all his achievements and trophies he carried, I am the most valuable and treasured one. He treats me like I am the most loved person in the world, even after countless heartbreaks. He's a living proof that love will find me, no matter who I am.

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022

She learned how to be smart, composed, and dependable. Para sa kan'ya, mahirap magpakita ng kahinaan dahil buong buhay niya ay sinanay siyang patunayan na kaya niya.
