Tumili silang lahat nang sabay sabay naming nakita sa bulletin board ang pangalan ko. Samantalang unti-unti namang napawo ang ngiti ko habang tinitingnan ang listahan ng mga may pinakamalaking QPI. I was sure I did so well. It isn't a question if I made the list or not because I know I will always make it. Kaya nga nakangiti na ako kanina pa dahil siguradong sigurado ako. Kaso ngayon...nawalan na nang tuluyan ang ngiti ko. Because I know that I do not hold the top spot of the dean's list, and to me...this is the worst.

What if the universe let you change one thing in your life? What would be? Or what if you could turn back the time, what are the moments you wanted to go back? Will you allow yourself to change something or you will leave things as it was? Are you willing to risk everything and face the consequences? Her, the girl who loves him in every ways she can but can not risk everything that she has. Him, the guy who willing to risk everything but he doesn't know about her feelings. I guess, this is a love story of two people who tragically fall in love with each other but the Universe never let them. Or in other terms 'pinagtagpo pero hindi itinadhana'.
