I grew up counting coins which also quickly disappears from my palm, learning early how to be strong when life was so unfair. My world at first was small-narrow streets, secondhand clothes, and dreams I kept quiet because hoping felt expensive. But things suddenly changed, my world rotates in opposite way. Sa kagustuhang magbago ang buhay ay nagawa niyang tanggapin ang isang malaking hamon para sa kaniya. I am Hope Ysabelle who always has one question in mind. "Gaano ko katagal na haharapin ang mapait na realidad? How far can I reach something?" For me, that's the hardest thing I would wish for. Until I met Clovis Alexander Acosta who introduced me to the real world, who taught me to accept things. But, just like I long to reach my lofty dreams, he is also the same, forever out of grasp.
