UNDER EDITING Perdita Aileth is a 23 year old college student who is barely living her life. She moved to a new university on her last year to run away from her family's debt. New environment, new people-people who don't know her, a perfect place to disappear. She believes that life is a cruel game, one way out, one sided game. It's hard to try and live while it's easy to get tired and die. One night at the school rooftop, a guy on his white hoodie, black slacks and white sneakers, wearing a goofy smile and an annoying smirk, laughed at her. "Why do you want to die?" he asked. Getting no answer from Perdita, he said, "Life without fun isn't a life. Are you up for an adventure?" THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY. ARE YOU UP FOR AN ADVENTURE? Finished: February 2022

Most people claim that high school memories are the best. Sa High School mo raw mararanasan lahat. Mula sa samu't saring kahihiyan at 'di mabilang na kalokohan, hanggang sa first crush, first love, at first heartbreak. Maybe you experienced most of your firsts during high school-like Pia. Sophia Joy Alejo, hindi katulad ng pangalan niya na may Joy, her life isn't about rainbows and butterflies. Pia is a frustrated nurse in a public hospital, she has been working for her two younger siblings for six years upon their parents' death. She is serving sick people and although it drains her, she can't stop working-Eh, kasi nga, panganay! Sometimes, she wishes for an escape. How lucky of her to meet Lola Elisa, isang misteryosong tindera na kaya siyang bigyan ng sandaling pahinga. She sold her a DVD-a bizarre DVD. One mysterious movie and an old television brought Pia back to high school. Katulad ng mga pelikula, nabigyan siya ng pagkakataon na ma-replay ang isang yugto ng buhay niya. Does it mean she can also save her failed love with Jacob Rey Silvestre, the married lawyer? Now that she's given a chance to experience a bittersweet part of her life, will she laugh, fall in love, cry, and let her heart break again? Or will she try to change the past to make the present better?

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

Almost was never enough. The most is where it all lies; the second is no different from losers. If you want to be chosen, be the best among the options-a sweet rule to every test, a bitter reality Eiah was raised in. She gives everything a hard try, even though she can't grasp it all just right. Maybe she was chasing the wrong things. Maybe she needs to work harder. Maybe she's really... almost there. Whatever it is, she's determined to prove her father she's worthy of her name-but heck, not to the point of marriage! That's why, when he demanded that she get engaged while still in college, she had to 'call a friend', Chase, an accounting junior who has kissed girls everywhere. They had to level up their call sign. From bes to babe, will fake couple rings work? Or was it, again, just another almost? Almost the right move; apparently not the best. Maybe they should've just sat with their friendship bracelets rather than become almost too-almost what they aren't meant to be, almost everything they could no longer be.

Some people says it depends on us, that our purpose lies on our hands, chiseled by our own decisions. It was a lie for Angeleigh Jariyah Alvarez, an only child, living her remaining years to the fullest. Like her, not all people are eligible to create their own meaning, when fate chose her ending since birth. Tiyanak, bruha, mapanlait, makasarili at anghel na sugo ng lupa.

Magkaiba ang buhay na kinasanayan, ang mundong pinagmulan at ang pananaw sa buhay. She's childish and arrogant, he's responsible and kind. When two different worlds met, what will happen?
