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.

STRAND SERIES 2 (ABM) For every light from the moon, bright from the stars, and shine through his eyes. I can see both the moon and stars, how they shine in his eyes. I have been looking in different sources of light, but through him, I can always see how the light finds me and never see the dark that defies me.

Mula sa taong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa nakaraan nang may isang misyon: huwag hayaang umibig sa kanya si Juanito Alfonso, ang anak ng kilalang gobernadorcillo at ang lalaking nakatakda niyang makaisang-dibdib. *** Palaging kinukuwestiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang mga kuwentong nakabaon sa nakaraan ng kanyang pamilya, ngunit hindi niya akalain na mula sa panahong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa taong 1892 sa pamamagitan ng isang lumang talaarawan at ang Arch of the Centuries na kanyang nagsilbing portal. Inatasan siya ng isang misteryosong madre upang gawin ang napakahalagang misyon: kailangan niyang mamuhay bilang si Carmelita Montecarlos, ang bunsong anak ng pinakamayamang pamilya sa San Alfonso at siguruhing mapipigilan si Juanito Alfonso--ang nakatakdang mapangasawa ni Carmelita--na umibig sa kanya. Sa nalalapit nilang kasal at sa kasaysayang naghihintay na maisulat muli, ang pag-ibig na hindi naman sinadya upang maranasan ng dalawang inosenteng puso ay muli bang masisilayan pagkalipas ng isang siglo?

𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐏𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘: Stranger Summer Reads Destined to meet. Destined to fall apart. He was the worst thing that could've happened to her, and yet she was the best thing that could've happened to him. Olivia Rhodes has never been one to care much about someone's past, on who they were or what has made them become the person they are now. Her world is seemingly perfect: a humorous best friend, two loving parents, her baby sister-who cries a bit too much-and a bright future waiting for her once senior year is over. But her life would unwind into a world of secrecy when her neighbor suddenly moves out and someone else moves in. Hunter Black is the new guy in town, and everyone is talking about him. Handsome, charming, and mysterious, it almost seems like he acts as a beacon for attention-good and bad. Olivia wouldn't have cared about him in a normal situation, but it seems like the closer she gets to him, the more she finds herself lost in a world she didn't even think existed. There's something about Hunter that she wants to understand, uncover the complex web of lies that is building around him. And she's going to have a good reason for doing so when she finds out she's the only one who can see him in his true self. ---------------------- 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒: -Runner-up on the Spring Book Awards 2019 with a score of 98/100 -First place in the Paranormal Category on the April Blue Rose Awards ---------------------- 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 07/23/2016 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃: 07/08/2019 CURRENTLY EDITING (LIKE, HEAVILY EDITING) ⚠️ 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑: Chapters ARE long since they all carry a good amount of content and have the actual length of a physical book chapter, so I do apologize if that's not what you like.
