She finally broke up with him. Healing era na sana-until the universe decided to be petty. A one-month trip to Japan is already booked, non-refundable, and completely unavoidable. And yes, she's stuck traveling with her ex. Thirty days of shared hotel rooms, missed trains, awkward silences, and memories that refuse to stay buried. She's trying to move on, pretending she's fine, while the universe keeps throwing romantic sunsets, late-night ramen, and "accidental" moments her way. She must survive Japan without falling back into old patterns-or worse, falling for him all over again. Because sometimes, the hardest destination isn't a country...it's an ex you're not done loving.

🫐Spectrum of Becoming #6 . . ☁︎ . ☁︎ . . Isang sulyap. Isang katahimikan. Isang pakiramdam na hindi maipaliwanag. Sa mundong pumapabor sa ingay, nakahanap ng kanlungan si Liora Illia Guevara sa sarili niyang katahimikan. Nasanay siya rito, hindi dahil wala siyang gustong sabihin, kundi dahil mas ligtas doon. Malinaw sa kaniya ang mundong tahimik. Samantala, si Ezechielle Ynigo Villegas ay kabaligtaran niya. Kilala, hinahangaan, at matunog ang pangalan. Sanay siya sa atensyon at sa mga matang laging nakamasid. Ngunit sa gitna ng ingay, isang babaeng hindi humihingi ng atensyon ang napansin niya. Isang katahimikang hindi niya maalis sa isip. Sa pagitan ng mga salitang hindi nasabi, mga tinging iniiwasan, at mga damdaming pilit ikinukubli, unti-unting nagiging mas malinaw ang katahimikan sa pagitan nila. May mga salitang hindi kailangang isigaw. May mga damdaming mas totoo kapag hindi binibigkas. At sa loob ng katahimikan, nagsisimula ang paglalakbay patungo sa pagtuklas ng mga boses na may kulay tayum.

Glow up Series #12 Eteri Rylnn Magallanes has always been fascinated by makeup, and she aspired to be a supermodel one day. That dream sprang out of nowhere one day, an exceptional possibility that seemed to be spun from the air. However, just as the glitter of achievement began to shine brilliantly, a nagging worry crept into her thoughts. How long could she hold on to this desire before it slipped away? Eteri's journey through life with Vitiligo has been challenging. The constant bullying from other people, the looks of others, and the overwhelming sense of being set apart have all become knitted into the very fabric of her personality. Despite her accomplishments as an honor student, the weight of striving to be a library science student, the demands of societal standards, and familial tensions have begun to destroy her self-esteem, putting a pall over her formerly lively persona. She spent years attempting to move on from her past, but when someone unexpected from those days showed up at her workplace, all she had created began to crumble. It got worse when she found herself forced into the spotlight with him.
