"Nag bago ako dahil sayo. Pero..." -Enricko Ford- "Mahal mo rin kaya ako? Kaso..." -Honey Lyn Martinez- "Ang tanga ko! Akala ko kasi..." -Kurt La Diviera- Love has a lot of meaning, minsan masaya at matamis na parang honey. But sometimes it can be bitter, hurtful, at maraming pasakalyeng nalalaman. But if two people are really meant for each other, even the flow of love for them is crazy - sila pa rin ang magkakatuluyan sa bandang huli. Ika nga nila, sa haba haba man daw ng prosisyon, sa simabahan pa rin ang tuloy. This is my first ever made story, sana po magustuhan nyo :).

Bitter ka man sa paningin ng iba.. Ayaan mo na sila. Susura ng mga mukha nila. Magsama sama sila! :))))))))
