[Formerly 'With All My Hate and Maybes'] Puno ng poot ang puso ni Bruce Caswell. Hindi siya naging batch valedictorian. Dismayado ang mga magulang niya. At ngayong tapos na siya sa kolehiyo, saka naman sumikip ang mundo para sa kanya at sa dalawang taong labis niyang kinamumuhian. Si Caleb Mancini. Ang lalakeng pinaniniwalaan niyang umagaw ng apat na taon din niyang inasam na pinakamataas na karangalan sa kanilang unibersidad. At si Matthew Aguilera. Ang playboy na gustong magpaka-goodboy na nagbabalik para kunin ang loob niya sa kabila ng hindi nila magandang nakaraan. Galit siya sa mga ito. Galit si Bruce sa mundo. Maraming bagay ang gumugulo sa puso at isipan niya. Mga bagay na hindi siya sigurado. Bakit kailangang mapalapit siya sa dalawang lalakeng kinamumuhian niya? Bakit kailangang makaramdam siya ng kakaiba sa tuwing kasama ang mga ito? Bakit? Siguro ay kasalanan niya? Siguro ay tadhana? Siguro. Siguro nga. All Bruce wanted was to be happy. Maging proud ang mga magulang sa kanya. Find that love that was meant for him. Ngunit paano kung mahanap na niya? Could he handle that love...with all his hate and maybes?

In a world where love can shatter in an instant, will the truth be enough to play their rapture once more?

[BOYS' LOVE] As tall as a building. As cold as ice. As breathtaking as flowers. As fiery as a volcano. We may know what it looks like, but we are oblivious to what it seems to be. ⋆౨ৎ⋅˚₊‧⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅‧₊˚ ⋅୨ৎ⋆ Growing up, Beniel Florus Matrinidad was always close to the beauty of Aphrodite. Despite his beauty and the countless men who made their move to him, he didn't entertain any of them. He may look innocent, but he knows how to handle himself, especially men. His only goal, when he and his friends transferred to a new university for their final year, was to graduate. Build a house for him and his grandmother. Have a stable job and live a happy life. Not until he met his roommate, Ashton Rize Tecson, a fiery, tall, basketball player from Summit Peak University known for his frigid aura. He doesn't talk much. He doesn't smile that much. In short, Ashton is the ultimate opposite of Beniel's type; the least Beniel could do is not fall for him. But he did. Were the looks and intimacy enough for love to bloom, or was love more than just what we see and feel? Were the sayings proved that having a crush on someone was just a phase? What happens when two opposites collide? What could go wrong when you place something where it simply doesn't belong? Like water on fire, or a flower in a volcano.

To Caliber, Yolo and Trever weren' t just friends- they were everything. They were the people who made life feel bearable. But when their bond shattered, he was forced to seek shelter in a place that was anything but safe. Staying there meant confronting truths he'd buried, facing choices that pitted him against Redge- the one who ended up carrying the deepest wounds from Caliber's actions. Now, as he scrambles to undo the damage, Cali realizes the lines between right and wrong, regret and desire, guilt and something far more dangerous, are far blurrier than he ever imagined. And the question that haunts him most isn't whether he can fix what he broke- it's whether he even wants to let go of what he's been feeling all along. book cover by sereighn arts

Kadalasan, ang nasasaktan ay natatakot na lumaban-kaya minsan, ang patuloy na lumalaban kahit ilang beses nang nasaktan, sila ang tunay na matapang. But things have changed. Those who continue to fight are the ones who have come so far- offering love to those who couldn't even love themselves. And still, even when they end up wounded, they never fold, never surrender to the gamble of love. Yet for every goodbye, someone new arrives. Kaso, nakilala niya ako sa panahong basag na ako- hindi na buo, hindi na mapakinabangan, hindi na buo ang tiwala, at hindi ko na rin alam kung paano muling magmahal nang buo. Would he still choose to love me... even if it takes me a long time to heal from the past? Siguro, ibang sarap 'yung feeling na may nagmamahal sa'yo-'yong taong naaalala lahat, mula sa ayaw mo hanggang sa maliliit na bagay na gusto mo. Kailan kaya? Kailan kaya darating 'yong someone ko, 'yong taong who remembers everything?
