NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.

Started: 09/09/2020 Ended: 10/07/2020 Solene Clemente was a typical Civil Engineering student who struggled to put up with her studies. Kung pwede ngang i-bake na lang ang napakaraming itlog sa test papers niya, ginawa niya na. At a young age, she experienced the harsh reality of life-poverty, abuse, and a broken family. But, as someone who could see the bright side of everything, she knew she could make it with only her mother and best friend, Duke Laurence Sanders, whom she secretly loved. Kahit pa naghihirap, basta kasama niya ang ina, kaya niya. Kahit pa madalas niyang hindi maintindihan ang lessons, ayos lang kasi may Duke naman na tuturuan siya. Na kahit gaano kalupit ang tadhana, patuloy siyang lumalaban sa buhay dahil may dalawang taong sumusuporta at nagmamahal sa kanya. She became too dependent on the love they could offer. But little did she know, like the sun she adored, she was destined to be alone.

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

[NO SOFTCOPIES] Hindi ko alam kung paano makibagay. Ang pangyayaring iyon ang nag-udyok saakin na maging ganito ako. Ang pagiging iba sakanila, ang ugaling taglay ko at ang paniniwala ko ang tanging mayroon ako para maprotektahan ang sarili ko. Hindi ko sinadya ang lahat pero sa mga nangyayari ngayon parang sinasadya ko na din. Ang gumanti sa mga taong nanakit saakin pati na din sa mga taong malapit sakanila ang una sa listahan ko. Ayoko man, pero heto ang paraan para makamit ang hustisyang inaasam ko.

Westside University is a home for the wealthiest, most powerful successors in the business world. Students of this campus are not just rich and popular, but also very intelligent. Importante sa lahat ng estudyante ang ranking nila sa school, at gagawin nila ang lahat mapanatili lang na nasa itaas. Being super rich and brainy is the status quo everybody sets to achieve para hindi ma-out of place. Kaya isang malaking sakit ng ulo para kay Sofia Althea Perez, isang probinsyanang matalino nga pero hindi naman mayaman, kung dito siya mag aaral. Wala naman siyang karapatang tumanggi dahil ito ang gustong eskwelahan ng kanyang principal sponsor. Makakapag-aral siya kapalit ng isang misyon. Ang siguruhing pumapasok araw-araw si Jave Santillan-the campus Demon Rex, the most notorious bad boy of all Westside University. Madali lang ang trabaho. Especially if she's the famous and the most talked about... Bad Boy's Princess. cover credits to: Yuki Dianne
