THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #1 Have you ever been so smitten with someone that you were just so grateful they existed? Tipong makita mo lang siya, solved ka na. Kahit hindi mo siya makausap o makasama, inspired na inspired ka. That was the case for Dawn Karsen Navarro, a die-hard fan of a prominent singer and songwriter, Dior Kobe Gallardo. Kahit pa laging General Admission ticket lang ang nabibili niya at halos kasinlaki lang ng gagamba ang natatanaw niya mula sa upuan, marinig niya lang ang boses ng binata, kuntento na siya. So, when luck pulled a trick on her poor heart, she didn't hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity. She went from being in the farthest row to being in the backstage, from seeing only a glimpse of her idol to a face-to-face encounter, and from hearing only a fraction of his life to knowing everything there was to know about him. She had made a lot of progress. But, why did she go back to being seated in the farthest row? Why did she go back to being just a mere fan? After everything they vowed, why did she go back to being a stranger in the midst of the crowd?

𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐄) "Living full of regrets and pain is worse than dying." Kristine's life didn't just fall apart, it was ripped away from her piece by piece. Zachary, the man she trusted with her entire world, cheated on her and got Stella pregnant. And when Kristine finally told him she was carrying his child too, he didn't choose her. He didn't fight for her. He rejected her, pushed her away, and left her alone in the darkest moment of her life. Then she lost the baby. And with that loss, she lost herself. Now Kristine moves through her days feeling like she's underwater, breathing, but barely. The trauma and betrayal haunt her every waking moment. The grief drags her deeper, and the silence becomes a place where dangerous thoughts grow louder. She's slipping deeper, drowning in a pain no one sees, and on some days, she wonders if disappearing would finally give her peace. But how do you save yourself when you're no longer sure you're worth saving?

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 11/20/2020 Ended: 01/29/2021 How far would you go for someone? How many hailstorms and dark clouds would you endure? How many falling stars would you wait for to make a single wish come true? For Reese Deborah Madrid, the sky was the limit. She was used to having whatever she wanted. Clothes? Shoes? Jewelry? Name it. She could get it without putting in so much effort. So, when she hoped for another shot of love with her ex-boyfriend, she was ready to sacrifice everything to win him back. Even if that meant she had to look stupid and desperate. Even that meant she had to suffer through the pain of watching him be disgusted by her. Even if that meant she had to deal with his harsh words and apathy. She did everything in her power to go back into his arms. She stood up to the rain that soaked her and the sun that burned her skin. She waited from daybreak to nightfall, hoping that he would eventually fall back in love with her. She thought she was getting there. She felt like she'd made it. But then, in the world where she could be anything, she lost everything in the name of her love for him. Because much like the sky, Harvin Rouge Foster was only meant to be loved from afar.
