"POVERTY IS NOT HINDRANCE TO SUCCESS!" Sigaw ni Islanda bilang panimula niya sa sinalihang barangay beauty pageant. Iyon ang katagang memoryado na halos 7.2 Billion na populasyon sa mundo. Ginamit na sa slam/autograph book, naisulat na ng maraming sikat na personalidad at sinigaw na ng mga bakla sa mga contests. But to Isla, she hold those words dear to her heart. A girl with a BIG DREAM.. yet small height, namulat si Islanda Macatuto na salat sa pamumuhay. Dapat siya maging maangas, maliksi.. --- mapanuri, mapagmatyag, mapangahas, Matangla--- ehem.. Matigas ang ulo niya pero madiskarte. Living alone, struggling almost every day of her life, nanatili pa rin siya matatag at hinaharap ang kinabukasan na taas-noo. Lumaki man siyang walang-wala, di pa rin pumasok sa utak niya ang gumawa ng masasamang bagay. Kasi naniniwala siyang may magandang darating sa buhay niya pag maging mabait ka. . . But one sunny day, . . She was charged stealing a cellphone by no other than the country's top super idol, Liam Alejo-Torres. Sa kabila ng pagiging inosente niya sa krimen, umikot ang buhay niya na pina-360 degrees nang may minungkahi ito. Dala ng pangangailangan, she made pact with the blue-eyed devil. Will Islanda make the odds placed on her favor? Or will Liam make her play by his rules? Will the unrefined lady bring him down from his high horse? "Never." Sagot ni Liam. "Wag kang magsalita ng tapos, 'tol." Angas namang ngisi ni Isla. Or will the Devil with a Golden Curls, Icy Blue-Eyes and Crooked Grin bring the woman out of her? "Easy as pie." It's Liam's turn to smile. He bit his lower-lip, eyes slitting with his playful grin. "I need PERA not PROBLEMA." Tango pa ni Isla para segundahan ang sinabi. "Let's see about that. How long can you last?" Let the Battle of Wits.. begin!! 🤣

All her life, Mary Imogen Suarez was led to believe that she should end up with Parker Adrian Palma. Na dapat, kay Parker lang siya. Na si Imogen ay para lang kay Parker. But the problem was, Parker never looked her way, at least, not the way she wanted him to. For him, she's just the best friend-and a reminder of something he badly wanted to forget. For years, she lived with the knowledge that Parker would never like her back. Akala ni Imo, hindi na siya makakaahon sa naraaramdaman niya para kay Parker-until she met Saint Iverson Gomez de Lianño. Saint was a breath of fresh air. He's attentive, and he made Imo feel loved and appreciated-something she never felt during all the years she loved Parker. But when things started to fall in their right places, Parker decided to finally look her way. What would Imogen do? Would she brave the storm to be with Saint? Or would she tread the strings that connect her with Parker?

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.
