Imagine this scenario: Sa daanan ng tren ay may limang tao, nakatali at hindi makagalaw, halatang walang takas sa kapalaran na meron sila. Habang tumatagal ay papalapit na ng papalapit ang tren, diretso ito papunta sa kanila at wala silang kamalay-malay sa kung ano ang maaaring mangyari. Nakatayo ka sa tabi, sumisigaw ngunit hindi ka nila marinig. Kay bilis ng tibok ng iyong puso, nanlalamig ang mga pawis, hindi mo alam kung ano ang gagawin. Sa tabi mo ay ang lever ng tren, kapag ibinaba mo ito ay may pag-asa na mailipat ito sa kabilang direksyon. 'Yun nga lang, sa kabilang pagdaraanan ng tren ay may isang tao. Ngayon may dalawa kang pagpipilian: Una, wala kang gagawin at hahayaan ang limang tao na mamatay. Pangalawa, ibababa mo ang lever at mapupunta ito sa kabilang direksyon kung saan naroon ang isang tao. Ano ang pipiliin mo? Kamatayan ng isa? O kamatayan ng lima? Si Vana ay isang simpleng babae. May simpleng pangarap at may simpleng buhay. Ngunit matapos ang araw na iyon, nagbago ang lahat. Gumawa sya ng isang desisyon na ang akala nya ay tama. Isang desisyon... Na pagsisihan nya habang buhay. Copyright © 2016 by Wistfulpromise.

MUSIC BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER. Huling taon na ni Chord at ng kanyang banda sa CCPA. Konting tiyaga na lang at magbubunga na rin ang matagal na nilang pinaghirapan. Matutupad na ang pangarap nilang sumikat. Ngunit sa kasamaang palad, biglang nawala ang pianist nila sa simula ng school year. Kailangan nila ng bagong pianist. And fast. Hindi inaakala ni Max na sa lahat ng mag-aalok sa kanya na maging pianist, ang banda pa ni Chord. Although maganda ang opportunity, she's having second thoughts dahil sa mga pangyayari sa nakaraan. Mga pangyayaring ayaw na niyang sariwain pa. Mapagtanto kaya ng dalawa na kahit na anong ganda ng musika ay kailangan mo pa ring sumuko sa katahimikan sa dulo ng bawat kanta? MUSIC BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER. AND IT'S MUSIC THAT WILL BRING THEM APART. PS: Maraming maraming salamat kay Queenie (@demurequeen) sa bago kong cover! :* It's the best! \m/

"What the hell was that?" He hollered, pointing his finger to the ceiling. I cringed as his voice echoes through the room and the door slams shut. "Um..." I stutter. "Uh..." "What did I say about music?" Spit came flying and he looked like he was ready to bust a vein. If this was a different situation and I wasn't about to get beat to a pulp, I probably would have laughed. Scratch that- I definitely would have laughed. But as you can clearly tell, I'm not in a different situation. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} The Band Next Door. Copyright © 2015. All rights reserved.

Arissa Dually is an outcast, a nerd... invisible. Every move she makes is so people won't notice her. Yet, it's not like they would even if she tried to fit in. Arissa has a dirty little secret, though. She's in love with singing. Has been since she was young, but family and friends are the reason why she can't let anyone find out. For their safety- and her own. Yet, she can't help herself. Singing helps her feel normal, she's who she wants to be when singing. So when she gets caught, she bargains to keep her little bit of bliss a secret- hidden, behind a mask. That is when the plan falls into place. Arissa has to deal with a music teacher who wants to share her gift, a father that wants nothing to to with it, a school that just wants to know who this mystery person is, and a football captain/delenquint that gets a little too close for comfort. Join Arissa in a story filled with music, dancing, crazy dogs and nasty snogs, and most of all, tears and lust filled eyes. What would this genre be without them? Cliché, yes, but that's just how the shoe fits. This story is like a cross between High School Musical and Grease, but with twists and its so much better ;)
