Fate doesn't ask you what you want. Fate knows what is best even if you don't. Fate...is what we have done. Fate binds you to a magical spell called "love".

A dream was hope, fantasy, or a goal. It wasn't supposed to be reality. If it was, Miracle wouldn't call it a dream.

They say that escaping is a weak form of coping mechanism. But, Demetrie Ysobelle Pelligrino, an irregular nursing student has never been escape in her entire life. Paano niya naman kasi tatakasan ang pagiging panganay? Buong buhay niya, wala siyang ginawa kundi ang supportahan at maging takbuhan ng pamilya niya. Hindi naman siya nag rereklamo; dahil naiintindihan niya naman ang takbo at estado ng buhay niya. Ang gusto niya lang naman ay iyong meron din siyang ma pag tatakbuhan kapag nakakapagod ang mundo sa kanya, meron siyag ma pag susumbungan kapag malupit ang mundo sa kanya. Maybe, life isn't that hard if you have someone you can lean on. Kaya nang makilala niya si Jose Rafael Montimer. Meron na siyang ma pag tatakbuhan, meron na siyang ma pag susumbungan. But life is cruel, as it always is. Tama nga siguro sila. Pagiging mahina lang ang pag takas sa problema. Pero gaya rin nila; gusto niya nalang maging mahina para takasan ang problema niya.
