Cambria Velasco hopelessly fell in love with her gay best friend-Crosoft D'Cruze. One drunken night, they found themselves in each other's arms, naked under the sheets the next day. Crosoft couldn't take responsibility for what they had done and left. The moment Crosoft left her seven years ago, she realized she doesn't need him in her life. Pero mukhang hindi 'yon ang gusto ng tadhana dahil biglang bumalik si Crosoft sa buhay niya at nakilala pa ang anak nilang si Verdanah. And now, he wanted them in his life; he would do everything to gain her trust and forgiveness. Would Cambria accept Crosoft's love and apologies despite everything he did to her? Makatatanggi pa ba siya sa paglalambing nitong pang-24 hours a day at seven days a week? Is it really possible that they can become a family this time?

Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

soulmate!au Geum Seongje has never cared about destiny or the idea of soulmates. The countdown that was etched on his wrist has always been an empty concept, a distant number he never trusted to define his life. He believes in decisions, not fate, and keeps his emotions carefully restrained, never believing in love. But everything changes the first time he meets Hwang Miyeon. Without warning, the countdown he ignored all his life comes to a sudden stop. Time falls silent, leaving him with a truth he does not understand and refuses to accept. Rather than seeing it as destiny, Seongje treats it as an interruption, something that must be observed, questioned, and controlled. Not long after, their engagement is announced. To the world, it appears to be a natural result of family expectations and tradition. Seongje remains himself, offering no sign that anything has truly changed. Miyeon steps into the role of his fiancée with uncertainty, her smile hiding doubts she cannot silence. But unlike Seongje, her countdown continues to move forward. Each passing second reminds her that time has probably not chosen him as her soulmate. She stands beside a man whose fate seems certain, while her own remains unresolved. Bound together by circumstance and expectation, they walk a path shaped by unspoken reasons and unanswered questions. Seongje carries a certainty he never wanted to believe in, while Miyeon carries the seconds of waiting. In a world where time decides love, their story unfolds between control and destiny, asking whether a soulmate is something granted by fate, or something claimed before time has the chance to decide. or In which Geum Seongje reached the end of his countdown upon meeting Hwang Miyeon, while hers continued without pause. started: 15.12.25 finished: -

Hanggang WHAT IF nga lang ba? Childhood best friends - isang OA na pogi na mahilig din sa pogi, at isang walang pake sa buhay pero pressured sa academics. Random, 'no? Love story pa ba 'to? Grabeng slow burn 'yan, hindi mamatay-matay ang apoy. Ang goal ko talaga sa story na 'to is something light and simple. Yung romcom na may slowburn trope, friendship, at high school feels na very Filipino. Gusto ko yung vibe na habang binabasa niyo, parang bumabalik kayo sa mga happy moments. It's also about growing together - kasama 'yung kilig, ka-8080-han, at lahat ng kulitan. Yung tipong parang nagka-cram kayo for an exam kasama ang tropa, sabay tambay sa canteen, kwek-kwek at lugaw food trip sa uwian. Main character na simple lang at realistic? Si Via na yan. 😏
