Fernie wrote loveletters to her one true love. She signed them, Sweet Periwinkle. Secret admirer ang peg. Nabuking.

The year was 1988. Sixteen year-old Olivia passed out on the night of the prom. When she came to, it was year 2005. She was still sixteen. Everyone she knew told her she'd been missing for over fifteen years.... But she could not remember anything from those years. Maybe there wasn't anything to remember....

A person who desires revenge should dig two graves. For he who plots to hurt others often hurts himself. But Paige Hipolito didn't know that. She set out to avenge her boyfriend's death and succeeded in penetrating the rich culprits' circle only to realize she was no match against the cunning and manipulative Amber Solano who got secrets she would kill to protect....

It means Always Faithful. Motto ng US Marines, LOL. Semper Fi! They would always say to each other. Pero una kong narinig ang phrase na 'yan sa tatay ko noong little girl pa ako. Kay Mother niya sinasabi lagi. Totoo naman, always faithful si Daddy Bear. My parents love each other so much, minsan, ewww, lalo na noong bagets ako. So, not surprisingly, 'yan ang naisip kong title nang mabuo ko ang kwento nina Sari at Aldon. I;ve forgotten na na story, TBH. Kaya, i ask you na lang dear readers to join me in reliving this classic. Sa new readers, i truly hope that you will also find this novel enjoyable and heartwarming.

"Hindi ka basta ibinagsak ng tadhana sa akin. Pinili kita. At dahil pinili kita, iingatan kita habang-buhay." Apektado na si Pepper sa cold war ng kanyang ama at ng best friend nitong si Don Pepe. Nanghihinayang siya sa mahigit forty years na pinagsamahan ng dalawa. Para mapagbati niya ang mga ito, kakailanganin niya ang partisipasyon at kooperasyon ng nag-iisang anak ni Don Pepe-si Rei Arambulo, ang lalaking kaaway na niya since the dawn of her puberty. Simple lang ang plano niya. Magkukunwari sila ni Rei na may relasyon. Kapag nalaman ng kani-kanilang ama na magiging magbalae ang mga ito, imposibleng hindi mag-usap ang dalawa. Himala ng mga himala, pumayag si Rei sa plano niya. At kalamidad ng mga kalamidad, nag-uumpisa pa lang sila sa kanilang palabas ay nag-malfunction na ang puso niya- biglang tumibok para kay Rei. By the time na inia-announce na ang kanilang pekeng engagement, hindi na fake ang damdamin niyang walang katugon. It's just a broken heart. Broken hearts still beat. I'll live. Kaya?

"Wala ka bang balak magpalit ng boyfriend, Lady Picachu?" Hindi na mapapalampas ni Hiromi ang latest na panggigipit sa kanya ng mga miyembro ng kakompetensiya sa negosyo-ang Bud Brothers. Kaya naman sumugod siya sa teritoryo ng kalaban na ang tanging dalang sandata ay ang kanyang katapangan. Ngunit hindi pala sapat ang tapang niya, dahil sa kamalasan, si Ed Lacson ang nakaengkuwentro niya. She had planned to look dignified and poised in front of the adversary, pero nang makita niya ang former male model, lumipad ang composure niya. At mukhang balak siyang i-seduce ng lalaki para mabili ng mga ito ang kompanya niya. He's not my type, wika niya sa sarili, ngunit kahit split-ends niya, hindi niya makumbinsi.

"Do you know what's your problem, Pete? You think you're the best thing since instant noodles!" "I don't believe this! You're making a big deal out of a one-night stand!" Gilalas si Tammy pagkatapos niyang marinig ang mga katagang iyon mula kay Pete. She was so sure they shared something special last night. It was magical! Pero bale-wala pala iyon sa lalaki at ang nais nito ay kalimutan na lang nila ang lahat. Hindi siya papayag! Tumayo siya nang tuwid at tumingin nang diretso rito. "Last night, I fell in love with you. I know you did, too, and I'm gonna prove it," paniniyak niya.
