Ang palaging sinasabi sa'kin ni Zekei. Ayokong maniwala. Una sa lahat, ang corny. Sunod, manghuhula ba siya? Third, toothbrush muna. Fourth, wala lang. Ayoko lang talaga sigurong tingnan ang hinaharap na siya ang kasama kong abutan ng hamog sa daan habang nakatambay, o di kaya ay kumain ng pastang hindi ako ang nagluto. Ayokong matulad kami sa mga RomCom-na eepal pa ako sa kasal nila ng dapat sana ay magiging asawa niya dahil 'yon ang dumating noong mga panahong wala ako at nasa kasalukuyan siya ng pagmmove on. Ayoko rin naman 'yung mga fiction na magkakaroon siya ng superpowers at tutubuan ng buntot at mahabang tenga, tapos ililigtas niya ako mula sa malaking halimaw na sa dami ng tao sa lugar namin, ako pa talagang sira na ang atay kaiinom ng alak ang pinuntirya. At mas lalong ayoko ng thriller, tipong may kapatid pala ako at lumaki siya sa ibang bansa-uuwi siya ng Pilipinas para ipamukha sa'kin na kahit hindi niya mabigkas nang tuwid ang salitang 'nakakapagpabagabag' ay mas matalino pa'rin siya dahil ingles ang pangunahin niyang lenggwahe, nasaan si Zekei do'n? Nasa bahay ng kapatid ko, kasi kapatid din pala niya 'yon at iisa ang tatay namin. Kainis. Basta. Ayoko ng kahit ano sa mga 'yan.

"He wasn't mine. But God, I wanted to be his." It started with a stare. One moment. One boy. And suddenly, my world wasn't mine anymore. He was arrogant, reckless, and way too good-looking for his own good. I was just the curvy girl he once body-shamed in front of a whole class. So tell me-why did he start looking at me like I was the only one in the room? "We were always almost. Almost right. Almost real. Almost enough." What we had wasn't healthy. It was late-night texts, stolen glances, ghosted mornings, and the kind of love that leaves bruises on your soul. But I kept going back. Because sometimes, the people who ruin you... feel a lot like home. This isn't a fairytale. This is a slow burn. A beautiful disaster. A story of almosts.

They were once everything to each other - two hearts colliding in a way that felt inevitable, unstoppable. Too close to be just friends. Too complicated to be lovers. Pride, ego, and silence drew a line between them, a line neither of them dared to cross and time pulled them apart. Years have passed, but love, like gravity, has a way of pulling two souls back into the same orbit. A single song, a lingering glance, a memory too vivid to ignore - every little thing reminds them of what they used to be, and what they might still be if only one of them is brave enough to reach out. This is not a story of perfect love. This is a story of love that stayed unfinished... yet unforgettable.

In a city draped in rain and quiet light, she finds herself and the words she never said. Notes From Edinburgh is a tender collection of reflections from a woman who once fell for a man she knew she could never have. Or at least she thought she could have, but their connection was undefined... a dance of mixed signals, half-meant promises, and moments that lingered too long. When life pulled her toward a new path, she left, choosing to chase her dreams instead of the love that kept her waiting. In Edinburgh, among cobblestone streets and cold morning trains, she began to write. Each note became a quiet confession, a goodbye written in ink and rain. This book is for anyone who has ever loved in silence, for those who carried unspoken words in their chest, and for the brave ones who learned that letting go is also a form of love. Because sometimes, the closure we're searching for isn't found in another person, but in the words we leave behind.

A reminder that sometimes, the greatest heartbreak isn't losing someone you once had, it's realizing you never gave yourselves the chance to find out what could have been.

Andrea Veyra | Calix Rhaegel I loved him the way stars burn-bright, steady, and like I had a million lifetimes to spend just for him. I learned every quiet part of him, every sad little thing he never dared say out loud, and I told myself if I just loved him hard enough, if I waited long enough... I'd finally get there. I thought love was enough to cross whatever was between us. But I didn't know then that some distances are too wide, even for light. Calix loved me too. I know he did.
