The thing with Valentine's Day is, either you hate it or you love it. And Zade Pascual definitely belongs to the first category. Para sa kanya, isang araw lang ito ng commercialized version ng pag-ibig. Walang kakilig-kilig at napakalayo sa true love stories na nababasa niya sa mga libro. Nasubok ang kanyang anti-Valentine's sentiment when she unexpectedly meets Andreau Cortez-an award-winning actor and film student at her university-in the cafe where she works-- on Valentine's Day of all days. Andreau, their new cafe regular, surprises Zade by asking for her help with his latest short film project, which she hesitantly agrees to. Despite a rocky start, Zade discovers the real Andreau Cortez beyond the camera and celebrity gossip. Over the fika-not date hangouts and late-night conversations, their effortless friendship blurs into something more, to the point na akala ng lahat (yes, friends and family included) na sila na ni Andreau. Caught off guard by her evolving feelings, Zade must confront her own heart. Hanggang best friend nga lang ba ang tingin niya kay Andreau? Can their story unfold like the happy endings she loves in books? Well, sometimes, the best love stories take time to tell.

At a progressive liberal arts university, where art is therapy and psychology is survival, Elise Jessica Santillan is a soft-spoken Fine Arts freshman chosen to paint a mural for the school's wellness wall. Her art speaks louder than she ever could-full of emotion, honesty, and unspoken grief. Darian Knox Elodie Verano is a Psychology senior-blunt, brilliant, emotionally guarded. He's assigned to oversee Elise's work for "psychological accuracy." Their first meeting is friction at first sight. "This piece is about what healing feels like," she says. "But is that what it looks like to someone in pain?" he replies. Over, non-stop bickering, midnight planning sessions, and silent art critiques, their connection deepens. But as their present starts to feel like something real, their pasts begin to haunt them. Because long before Elise and Darian knew each other-their parents did. And not in the best way. Secrets buried. Stories untold. In trying to heal others, will they have to confront the damage done long before they ever met? A story of contrast, connection, and the fragile beauty of rebuilding what was once broken-on canvas, and within.

For Juan Luis, it's all fun and games. No commitments. No 'love' involved. Bata pa naman daw kasi siya, he got all the time in the world to find that one true love. But for now, he will be reckless. Until one night, Daenerys looked so beautiful and her eyes enchanted him so much. Until one night, his heart raced for the first time. Until one night, his whole world collapsed and he cannot get out of this long, agonizing winter anymore. Malamig. Nag-iisa. At ang tanging natitira ay ang mga rosas na iniwan niya.

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?

THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #2 Someday you'll look back on your mistakes and laugh. To name a few instances, these are those awkward first kisses you shared with your first boyfriend, those failed recitations that your classmates don't seem to forget, and those poor outfit ideas that you once thought were cute. Iyong mga dating nakakahiya, nakakainis, at masakit para sa 'yo, pagdating ng araw, ngingitian mo na lang. Maybe by then, you'll realize how much time you've invested in being too emotional. Pero may mga bagay na kahit matagal nang nangyari, hindi natin magawang tawanan. Siguro dahil nakakahiya pa rin? Siguro dahil nakakainis pa rin? O siguro, dahil masakit pa rin? For Amari Sloane Mendoza, it's all of the above. Among all the awkward, failed, and poor instances, falling in love with her classmate, Leon Ysmael Zamora, is the only mistake she can't laugh about.
