✨ Part of AmbassadorsPH's reading list, Ambassador Reads 📚 || fourth installment of "habit series" || Constantine Dominguez failed his qualifying exam in a course that he was forced to take. He has already decided not to continue studying college because he never really knew what course he wanted in the first place after that. But his mother asked one last favor from him--to take the course that she's specialized in for one whole semester and if he still won't like it, he's free to drop out. Since he loved his mother so much, he didn't think twice and just enrolled in that course.

He thought that his life will just be all that . . . not until he met Destinee Esquivel--again--after five years.

The two Destinee that Constantine met had two different memories . . . and he's starting to be convinced that they are two different people, sharing the same face, same name, and same bad habit. And then a mind-blowing truth unfolded right in front of his eyes as he realized, the person he made his promise with will never be there anymore. There's no one he can obey his promises to because he lost her completely without even having her in the first place. But . . . is that really all there is to Constantine's life?

Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.
