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?

(U Series #1) Para kay Chino Alejandro, the best thing about life is its simplicity. Panatag ang loob niyang nakakakain ang pamilya nila tatlong beses sa isang araw. Kampante na siyang nakakasama ang mga kaibigan sa klase at computer games. At masaya na siyang mas nagiging close na sila ng all-time crush niya. Rose petals. Humiga sa kalsada. Skateboard. Maghintay ng himala. Beers. Pagka-intimidate sa chandeliers. Unexpected drunk tattoos. Ang Mabuting Salita ni Deus. Paintings. Prayer meeting sa loob ng elevator. Checkered polo shirts. Spoken words. . . at mag-YOLO. When lots of craziness, belief contradictions, and spontaneous adventures intertwine with uncensored words, not supposed to have feelings and out of hand emotions - life can get a lil bit out of hand for Chino. It's about time to get out from his comfort box to think, decide and act. FAST. Before that one particular girl gets trap in the box she wants to get out from. Life can never be just that simple and that's the best thing about it.
