Five Years Late is a coming-of-age story of a person's journey to personal growth and self-acceptance by embracing the inevitable changes in her life and in her self--that she can't always be the same person she was five years ago. The story is written in Taglish (Tagalog and English)

Hindi alam ni April kung ano ang pumasok sa isipan niya at pumayag siya sa hiling ng lalaking bigla na lang pumasok sa coffee shop nila isang araw. Humihingi ito ng tulong para sa balak nitong panliligaw sa isa sa mga kaibigan niyang si Cheska. Wala na siyang nagawa kundi ang pagbigyan ito at maging tulay para mapaglapit ang mga ito. It didn't take long until those two entered a relationship. Akala niya ay tapos na ang komunikasyon niya sa lalaking iyon pero nagkamali siya. Dahil sa hilig ng kaibigan niya sa paghahanap ng kasiyahan sa iba't ibang lugar ay siya ang pinakiki-usapan nitong samahan muna ang boyfriend nito tuwing hindi ito makakarating sa usapan ng mga ito. Kahit ayaw niya ay wala na rin naman siyang choice dahil naaawa rin siya sa lalaking iyon na halatang patay na patay sa kaibigan niya. Pero mas matindi ang pagkaawang naramdaman niya para dito nang malaman niyang niloloko ito ng kaibigan niya. She didn't know what to do. Sasabihin niya ba dito ang mga panloloko ni Cheska at sirain ang tiwala ng kaibigan? She knew that she shouldn't meddle with their relationship. But there was a part of her heart that wants this man to forget her friend and just look at her. Why was she being like this?
