Mga pangyayaring ayaw na niyang sariwain pa. Mapagtanto kaya ng dalawa na kahit na anong ganda ng musika ay kailangan mo pa ring sumuko sa katahimikan sa dulo ng bawat kanta?

The S #1 Hindi ako santa. I'm not nice on a daily basis. I've done things that conservatives and prudes will frown upon. I've got vices and guilty pleasures. I've done things that good and obedient students wouldn't. I've done the worse thing that you could do to a friend. Yeah, people will say I'm bad, but I don't care though. I'm every bad thing... And he's the complete opposite of me. He's an achiever, he's nice and patient, he's prim and proper, he's all things that are good. Me? I'm bad for him. I will only drag him down. That's what they say.... But will I care this time, though?

Accepting that her relationships have very short expiration dates is one thing--still, this doesn't stop her from hoping that she'll finally belong to someone, even if it means she has to shape-shift herself into that someone's ideal girl.

Maybe, Saint Del Valle is the guy who will make her unlearn the twenty years she spent embracing the suck. Disclaimer: This story is in Taglish. Cover Design by Rayne Mariano
