Linked Series #1 "Happiness is a choice" Minsan, hindi mo namamalayan na pagod ka na. Sa mundong sanay magsabing ang kaligayahan ay isang pagpili, may mga taong araw-araw pinipiling ngumiti kahit hindi na nila alam kung saan nagsimula ang pagod. Si Estela Rain Soriano ay kilala bilang masayahing tao. Magaan kasama at laging may nakahandang ngiti. Ngunit ang ngiting iyon ay matagal nang natutong magtago. Sa likod nito ay mga responsibilidad na hindi niya pinili at mga tao na palagi niyang inuuna kaysa sa sarili. Dumating si Malachai Asher "Kai" Realonda. Tahimik at palaging nakatago sa mundo ng blueprints. Hindi dahil ayaw niyang makita, kundi dahil mas gusto niyang manatili sa mga bagay na kaya niyang sukatin at kontrolin. Ang mga bagay na hindi humihingi ng damdamin. Magkaibang-magkaiba pero pinagtagpo. Hindi para ayusin ang isa't isa, kundi para unti-unting harapin ang mga bahagi ng kanilang sarili na matagal nang iniiwasan. This is not just a story about choosing happiness. It's about carrying what was handed to you and learning that light doesn't always save. At times, it only shows you what you've been avoiding. Because sometimes, we are simply... touched by the sun.

Linked Series #2 Some people are admired from a distance, not because they ask to be, but because the world decided they should be. Silvina Ione Vergara learned early how to live with that attention. She is elegance without effort, the kind of girl everyone watches and quietly compares themselves to. Untouchable. Unshaken. Or so it seems. Everything begins to tilt during an outreach program she almost didn't attend. That's where she meets Soren Jaime Rivera. Soren isn't impressive at first glance. He keeps to himself, says little, and seems content watching things unfold from the side. He doesn't offer compliments or try to charm anyone. And maybe that's why she notices him... because he never looks at her like she's something he's trying to win. What starts as curiosity slowly becomes something heavier, something Silvina never planned for. His eyes were already searching for someone else. Sometimes, it's the spaces we keep that end up meaning the most. Started: July 10, 2025 Finished:
