My short stories.

Timi is used to having all the boys wrapped around her little fingers. Sanay na sanay na siyang nakukuha ang atensyon ng mga 'to. After all, she's both beauty and brains . But then she meet, Ice--the transfer student and the new vocalist of their school band, Endless Miracle. Talaga nga namang masyado nitong pinanindigan ang pangalan niya dahil sing lamig din ng yelo kung pakitunguhan niya si Timi. That hurts Timi's pride so she took him as a challenge. She will do everything to make Ice fall for her. Little did she know, she will get the biggest lesson of her life. Kung paglalaruan mo ang pag-ibig, hindi ikaw ang palaging panalo. Darating ang panahon na makakahanap ka ng katapat mo na magpapatumba sa lahat ng paniniwala mo.

Five years have passed and finally, Timi is back in the Philippines. Being away and studying culinary abroad, Timi thought she've finally moved on from every pain that she experienced on her teenage years.

Now that Timi and Ice have crossed paths again, she vowed to herself na hinding hindi na siya magpapaloko dito. But will she be able to resist when after all this time, she've never stopped loving him?
