Everybody knows Quintus Zamora as a monster. Sabi ng iba, para daw siyang hindi nakakaramdam ng sakit kahit pa nakikipagbasag-ulo, at talaga namang halimaw siya kung manakit ng kaaway niya. He's almost a superhuman, base sa mga kwento nila. I know that I have to avoid him at all costs, pero patuloy naman ang pagdikit niya sa akin. And for some reason, I am seeing a side of him na hindi ko inakalang meron siya. Ayoko siyang maging parte ng buhay ko, not at all. But there's something about him that I just can't resist. That's when I knew that I am in trouble.
