PUBLISHED BOOK UNDER PASTRYBUG - Instead of being head-over-heels in love with each other like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, sina Rome Montague at Julie Capulet naman ay "head-over-bato-ng-sapatos" ang drama. Pero nang dahil sa "catsup at saging" at sa isang maling eksena ay bigla-biglang itinakda ang kanilang kasal. Inakala kasi ng parents nila na may nangyari sa kanila nang abutan sila ng mga ito sa isang "maselang" eksena-si Rome, hubad-baro habang "nakapatong" kay Julie na nakatapis lang ng tuwalya. Sa inis at pagkagulat ni Julie, sa halip na sabihin kung ano ang totoong nangyari ay kumampi pa si Rome sa parents nila, na kinontra naman niya. Pero hindi nakinig ang parents nila, sa halip ay nagbigay pa ng deal: The thing is, kapag hindi sila nagkasundo ay ipapakasal sila. Pero kung magkakasundo naman sila ay hindi sila ikakasal. Which is which?

Avah Chen is my name and hating is my game. Loved by no one, hated by everyone. Half-Chinese. Pure-Maldita.
