A CUP OF TEA Astrid Morales' life is all about validations, honors, being the black sheep, and solo living. Those are just the concepts of her life in this world. She was a smart and brave person. She could stand out in every quiz bee, exam, and extracurricular activity. But despite being a top student, it wasn't enough to get the validation she wanted for her living. She did her best; she gave her all. But it seemed that being a smart, kind, and brave person wasn't enough for her family to validate her or at least praise her great work. It was just that she felt like she was thin air in the atmosphere, felt but not seen. When life throws you curved balls and when fate's thread twists, what would you do?

TASTE OF ECSTASY In our lives, we dream of eternal bliss-a life with no heavy responsibilities placed on our shoulders, a life full of joy and happiness. But sometimes, a dream will always remain a dream when fate doesn't let us experience it that way. That's the harsh reality that keeps Zary in vain. She was persistent in honors; she was a diligent daughter and a kind, obedient child. But somehow, being kind and diligent aren't enough to have the kind of life you'd like to have. Sometimes, life has funny ways of plotting, throwing it like a fire ball that makes a different impact. And when life makes a twist, what would happen then?
