"It was just one night... One night that ruined the years we shared. One night that ruined the forever we're about to build."

THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #4 How does it feel to live with tons of what ifs and should-have-beens? Knowing that under different parameters, you could have worked it out. Knowing that if you only weathered the storm together, you could have built a home in each other's arms. Napakaraming sana--ganiyan ang naging takbo ng buhay ni Ysabelle Katana Montecer. Sana mayaman siya. Sana mas maganda. At sana may kapangyarihan siyang ibalik ang oras. If only she had listened to the little voice in her head, she could have been in a relationship with the only man who ever caught her attention--River Mattias Fuentabella. But it was too late for her. She was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. A heartbeat away from silence. Kahit ayaw niya, kailangan niyang tanggapin ang hatol ng tadhana. River would always be out of her reach. He was close, but not too close enough for her to hold. They could have happened. They could have been together. But sadly, they never were.

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Lahat daw ng tao ay ipinanganak para sa isang misyon. Bago pa man tayo isilang ay may naghihintay ng hinaharap sa atin. Some people says it depends on us, that our purpose lies on our hands, chiseled by our own decisions. It was a lie for Angeleigh Jariyah Alvarez, an only child, living her remaining years to the fullest. Like her, not all people are eligible to create their own meaning, when fate chose her ending since birth. Tiyanak, bruha, mapanlait, makasarili at anghel na sugo ng lupa. Ganoon siya ilarawan ng mga tao sa paligid. She didn't care. It is not her responsibility to please everyone around her because it wouldn't change a single thing. The world would not treat you any better if you're kind. She has no heart for the unfortunate and no one call her out, until Zachary Ismael Javier, a poor orphan striving to live for his dreams comes her way. Magkaiba ang buhay na kinasanayan, ang mundong pinagmulan at ang pananaw sa buhay. She's childish and arrogant, he's responsible and kind. When two different worlds met, what will happen? Will he succeed to tame the demon inside of her? or will she continue living in the meaning, she created herself? Two Years in their senior high, two people, two different perception and two different worlds. What could be lying beneath it? Finished: August 2021

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022

(Trope Series # 1) Cerise's younger sister is getting married and she's expected to attend. The logical thing to do was to attend (duh, it's her sister's wedding! It would be weird if she's not there) but how could she attend when her sister's getting married to Leo, her ex best friend slash almost boyfriend from years ago? And it's not like she could just suddenly blurt out their 'history' because she's pretty sure that she'd be branded as bitter by their relatives... like, it's been years! Move on! She needed to attend. But she didn't want to go alone. She needed an arm candy, but not just any arm candy-she needed someone who would make her the envy of the night. Iyong tipo na walang magdadalawang isip kung nakapagmove on na ba talaga siya. She looked and looked and looked for the perfect wedding date. Until she wound up in a bar and met this bartender named Pablo.

(Yours Series # 5) Graciella Rae Arevalo just wants to love and be loved. She feels like she has a lot of love to give and she just wants her own person to love. Mayroon na kasing mga boyfriend at girlfriend iyong mga tao sa paligid niya. She doesn't want to be a burden to anyone. She wants her own person to love and to spoil. Ang problema, parang ayaw naman sa kanya ng pag-ibig. She has been told to just wait for it because it will eventually come to her. And she wants to, ang kaso, she's always surrounded by death that she feels like she's always running out of time. Ilang blind date na ang napuntahan niya. She always tries to find the good in the person in front of her, but for some reason, walang spark. Ayaw niya naman na i-sacrifice iyon. Alam niya na nag-eexist iyon. She's seen it. She just needs to look harder. Pero baka tama nga sila... na kapag hindi mo hinahanap, saka doon dadating. Because apparently, she's been looking for love in all the wrong places when all along, he's always been right in front of her.

(Yours Series # 4) Marian Eliana Nicolas just wanted to be left alone. She knew that she's not exactly the kindest person-definitely not the first person who'd come into mind if you get in trouble. She knew she's not likable. She made her peace with that. Gusto lang naman niyang magpinta at maka-graduate. Until she met Felix Chase Viste, iyong intern ng kuya niyang doctor. She was intrigued, to say the least. She almost thought that she was immune to catching feelings dahil sanay naman siyang maka-kita ng gwapo, pero wala naman siyang pakielam-until Chase. And because she doesn't like the word regret, sinubukan niyang makipagkilala kay Chase. She thought she'd find something not to like, but she was dead wrong. She liked everything she learned about him. But she was tired of figuring out kung ano ba sila. She wanted to ask what they were. Pero handa ba siyang malaman?

(Yours Series # 3) Kelsey Fuentes thought that after her failed experience in marriage, she would never dare try again. She was contented with her work and with her daughter. All she ever really wanted was for the people around her to let her be and to stop asking her to find someone to marry and 'complete' her. She tried that. It did not work. It was quite traumatizing. Never again. End of discussion. But apparently, it is true... that when you are not looking and least expecting, that is when you will find 'the one.'

(Yours Series # 2) Julienne Salvacion definitely didn't think that she'd reach the age of 32 and still be unmarried. She was sure that she'd, at least, be engaged before she turned 30. But she was dead wrong. She badly wanted to settle down already like everyone else around her, but guys kept on dumping her because according to all the male population, she's just 'too much.' She was the problem. Fine. So, when she met Levi, arguably the hottest guy she's ever laid her eyes on, she 'fine-tuned' her personality to match his. She could do that. She grew up in a family where she's always forced to smile and say that everything's alright. But until when can she pretend?
