Love speaks to you as you breathe for life. In the dining hall. In the train station. In all moments where reality seems altered. And love will still speak to you even when its soul walks away. Even when language dies. These are entries and excerpts of mine sealed inside bottles you'll never see, locked up in my 18-year-old library of thoughts. A Collection: Volume I HOW WOULD YOU SPEAK OF LOVE WHEN LANGUAGE DIES? August 2023

De Avila Series #2 Si Maria Segunda De Avila ay masasabing anghel ng kaniyang mga magulang dahil siya'y likas na masunurin, magalang, tahimik, at malapit sa Diyos. Ang mga katangiang ito marahil ang naglagay sa kaniya sa katayuang hindi napapansin ng karamihan. Siya'y hindi nagtataglay ng pambihirang kagandahan, talentong maipagmamalaki, at talinong kayang makipagsabayan sa karamihan tulad ng kaniyang mga kapatid. Pinili niya ang buhay na tahimik sa kabila ng panghuhusga ng lipunan sa mga babaeng tulad niya na maaaring tumandang dalaga. Subalit, ang inaakalang niyang tahimik na buhay ay nagkaroon ng hangganan nang bumalik ang lalaking ilang taon niyang hinintay at ang pagdating ng isang pilyong binata na kakambal ang kaguluhan. Paano haharapin ni Segunda ang dalawang kapalarang naghihintay sa kaniya? Pabalik sa pangakong naudlot ng nakaraan? O patungo sa hinaharap na puno ng pakikipagsapalaran? Book Cover by Bb. Mariya Date Started: September 21, 2024 Date Completed: March 23, 2025

Anselmo's stories for Era. Stories to remember whenever he forgets how to love.

Because life after leaving the priesthood isn't as easy as it seems. An epistolary.

A dumb suggestion from my friend says that there's a foolproof method to know whether you like someone romantically or not. It's simple. All you have to do is close your eyes, think of that person, and imagine kissing them. Kapag nandiri ka, e di hindi mo gusto. But if the opposite happened, e di, delikado ka na. I'm a hundred percent sure that I only see Chio Cervantes as a friend. I just got confused because he's suddenly everywhere right after my ex-boyfriend got into a relationship with a girl he told me not to worry about. Besides, hindi ko rin siya type. He's noisy. He's shameless. He procrastinates a lot. He likes wiping the sweat off his forehead and wipe it on my arm. He drives with both his hands which somehow doesn't look appealing . . . and for some reason he doesn't refuse picking me up even when it's late at night. He always brings an extra handkerchief because I keep on forgetting mine along with a shirt I can borrow in case I need to change. He brings me good food to take my mind off deadlines. He doesn't hesitate to communicate his feelings and I honestly envy him for that. And he makes me laugh. Whatever. But just to be sure, at dahil madali lang namang gawin 'yong method, I closed my eyes and imagined his lips against mine. I realized one thing after opening my eyes. I'm in deep trouble and there's no way of getting out. BETWEEN YOUR LIPS AND MINE Cervantes Series Second Generation #1 2022, ynativity
