Life is heavy, especially when you live on the surface of poverty. A nursing student from PLM, Keanah Amorsolo always pushed herself to study and to work harder just to make a difference in the life that she is living in the slums of Tondo. Meeting the most annoying medical student from UP Manila, Jovanni Villareal, is not part of her busy life, especially since he is only determined to piss her off. She did not know that he could introduce her to the other face of life and color it with his ecstatic personality and humor that echoed laughter in her chest. He became an escape for her. Those little hopes she wishes came true with one person. Him. How short-lived moments with her made life for him. How his perceptions of earthly things changed in the eyes of humanity. To love requires sacrificing a part of yourself, but still, it's worth it because it's love at the end of the day. But how can she continue to live when situations have buried her to the ground of chaos and disparity? She tried to scream for help, but only the ground could hear her. And him? He is busy saving his patients lives. START: OCTOBER 31, 2024 END: FEBRUARY 25, 2025

Gaano mo kayang tiisin ang sakit na unti-unting nakakaupos, at ang katahimikang dahan-dahan kang inuubos? Fire Officer Avery Montiero. A name anchored to a title. I earned it, yes, but it was never my dream. I grew up believing that serving the country was the only path my father would allow. Hindi iyon ang gusto ko... pero ika nga, alam ng magulang ang nakabubuti para sa anak? Ano ba naman ang suotin ang uniporme, sumunod sa utos, at kumbinsihin ang sarili na balang araw ay mapapamahal din ako sa pangarap na hindi sa'kin. Madali lang naman siguro iyon? Behind the badges, beneath the helmet, and beyond the flames I willingly faced, a different fire burned quietly inside me. Culinary. Doon umiikot ang puso ko. The kitchen was my only sanctuary--the sole place where the mask could slip. It was where I could create with my own hands and glimpse the woman I was truly meant to be. But strict prohibitions turned that dream into a distant what-if--a parallel life I could only imagine, but never live. Until Seian Jey Lirazan came to our station as the new Fire Captain. To everyone else, he was simply our new superior officer. But to me? He was my childhood best friend. The person who knew me before the uniform, the expectations, and the silence I used to hide from my father's disapproval. And the man I had loved for as long as I could remember. Sana masabi kong ang mahalin ang gaya niya ang pinakamadaling gawin sa buhay ko. Pero ang pagmamahal na iyon? It was never loud. It flickered. It ached. It burned. Kapareho ng pangarap ko. Kapareho ng mga salitang paulit-ulit kong nilulunok hanggang sa mabulunan ako. Kapareho ng mga piraso ng sarili ko na unti-unti kong isinakripisyo, maipagkasya lang sa hulma ng isang mabuting anak. Ang daya ng lahat, 'no?--ang pangarap ko, ang pamilya ko, ang taong mahal ko... Everything in between burned in silence. BURNED IN SILENCE Date Written: August 26, 2024 Book Cover by Artselily
