It is Sia Valencia's ultimate wish to become a full-fledged published writer. But with her seventh rejection, this time from Liberia Publishing, she might as well bid goodbye to that dream and say hello to a life at law school, a life her dad has been planning for her ever since she was young. To make things worse, Marc Ramirez, her obnoxious classmate from high school, turns out to be the brother of the publishing editor who rejected her work. But the editor sees potential in Sia and her work, and thinks it would be a shame for such passion to go to waste. So he gives her one more shot: she has to write a novel in one week, provided that she spends that same week with Marc. Seven days with the insufferable Marc Ramirez, but a chance for her novel to get published. How far is Sia willing to go for her dream?

Fourteen-year old Cayt is crazy about zombies, whether they're in the films of the great Filipino director Harriette Swarog or in the short movie she's making for school. But there's one zombie she's not too hot about--and it's living right in her parent's bedroom.

Habang nasa kasal ng kanyang kaibigan, nagbalik-tanaw ang isang 31-taong-gulang na lalaki sa una niyang pag-ibig.

I'm a published author of over 20 chick lit/contemporary romance books. Sometimes I'm asked to discuss Chick Lit because it's part of the Senior High School curriculum. I'll share those here. Please credit me (NEVER USE CTTO - say my name) if you're going to share what I've said. Thanks!

College sophomore Hannah Maquiling doesn't know why everyone tells her their love problems. She's never even had a boyfriend, but that doesn't stop people from spilling their guts to her, and asking for advice. So maybe it shouldn't be a surprise when the cutest guy in school tells her that she's going to have to take on this responsibility -- but for all humanity. The Goddess of Love has gone AWOL. It's a problem, because her job is to keep in check this world's obsession with love (and lack of it). The God of the Sun, for now an impossibly handsome senior at an exclusive college just outside of Metro Manila, thinks Hannah has what it takes to (temporarily) do the job. While she's learning to do this goddess thing, she practices on the love troubles of shy Kathy, who's got a secret admirer on campus. Hannah's mission, should she choose to accept it, is to make sure that he's not a creepy stalker and they find their happily ever after -- or at least something that'll last until next semester. (As if she could refuse! The Sun God asked so nicely. And he's so, well, hot.)
