Meeting you again feels like something's waiting for us to look back not to remember, but to cherish the days we've made memories. Zyraelle Velmora & Averon Saldivar

"Bata ka pa, Mira." "Kuya mo si Marco." "Hindi pwede." Tatlong linya. Limang taon. Isang lihim. Mira Santos, 16. Second year college sa UST. Grumpy. Bobo sa Math. At may tinatagong crush sa loob ng limang taon. Rafael "Rafi" Dela Cruz, 21. 4th year Engineering. Best friend ng Kuya niya. Gentleman. Responsible. At may tinatago ring hindi niya maamin. Lumaki si Mira na si Kuya Rafi lang ang takbuhan niya. Sa Math tutorials na lagi siyang bagsak. Sa iyak niya tuwing napapagalitan ni Kuya Marco. Sa bawat problema, si Rafi ang una niyang hinahanap. Pero kay Rafi, si Mira ay bata pa. Kapatid ng best friend. Bawal. Kaya nung nagpaalam si Rafi papuntang Manila para magtrabaho, isang lang ang sinabi niya: "Hintayin mo ko, Mira. Babalik ako pag dalaga ka na. Pag kaya mo na pumili para sa sarili mo." Limang taon ang lumipas. Pagbalik ni Rafi, 21 na si Mira. Dalaga na. Graduate na. At sa unang beses sa loob ng limang taon... Hindi na niya tinawag si Mira na "liit". "Pwede ba kitang ligawan, Mira?" Pero paano kung ang Kuya mong sobrang protective, tinuturing ka pa ring bata? Paano kung ang buong mundo, sasabihin na mali kayo? Paano kung ang lihim na pag-ibig niyo... kailangan pa ring itago? From "Kuya Rafi" to "Mahal". From tutorial sessions to wedding vows. This is a story of waiting, choosing, and loving-secretly, secretly, but you can't hide.

Just the Girl ©2013 by: Starcy Richver What would you make out of these 5 words? WORLD’S DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS BACHELOR MODEL. Sure, it’s probably: MONEY, FAME & THE LADIES! Well not for Ean C. Cassity. He thinks the title itself is a CURSE! All caught up and tangled with paparazzi, swarming fans and embarrassing news. With one final blow, he managed to commit suicide to his social life and stick to being a normal person without any interference of the social media and PRESS on his life. He then runs off to the all-time summer Caribbean to get a new form of personality (sun-kissed skin and a brunette hair dye), but suspicion starts to grow on the ladies which leaves him to take off and head to the ‘Pearl of the Orient’ on the east: Philippines! There, he manages to buy a villa on an exclusive and private subdivision at the seaside next to the atypical cold-hearted philophobic Lauren Summers. Through a beach party, both crosses paths; for Miss Summers, she never intends to get attached with guys, once introduced never fraternize. But for Chrysler (a.k.a. Ean) he tends to make changes starting with that idiom of hers, taking a leap of fate just so he could prove every lass is under his charms. Can Chrysler get the probability to know Lauren without him being pushed away so often? Could Lauren find out that this Chrysler is the ex-Gorgeous model living next door on an astounding villa? And most importantly, will time explain the quirkiness of Miss Summers’s behaviour towards guys? ‘Just the Girl’ is a novel about two people with secrets that somehow bind them to THE single catastrophe in the past that makes one’s sentimental issues become an Arctic of forgotten emotions.

Sa karong panahona na pwerte ng usoha sa social media. Dali na kaayo makakaplag ug gugma. Ang selfon di na kaayo gamit para txt. Pero kusog na kini para chat. Like. Poke. Add. Chat. Friend. Unfriend. Block. Busy masyado ang finger sa click! ;)

Strangers from the start and strangers until the end.

A thirst for exotic spices and a zealous desire to spread Christianity propelled Fernando de Magallanes on a perilous voyage - the first circumnavigation of the globe. He leads a fleet of Spanish ships westward, braving treacherous waters and dwindling supplies in search of a new route to the coveted Spice Islands of the East. However, this ambitious quest harbors hidden complexities. Whispers of other motives and personal agendas simmer amongst Magellan's crew, threatening to disrupt the fragile purpose of the expedition. Meanwhile, on the archipelago called Spice Islands, a storm of a different kind brews. Lapu-Lapu, the resolute chieftain of Mactan, fiercely guards his island's independence. Accustomed to a life dictated by tradition and the rhythm of the waves, he views the arrival of the heavily armored Spanish delegation as a dangerous intrusion. When Magellan attempts to strong-arm him into submission and conversion, Lapu-Lapu refuses to bend. The stage is set for a pivotal clash. On one side stands an advanced European force, fueled by a desire for wealth and religious dominion. On the other, a fiercely independent island community, led by a warrior chieftain who refuses to compromise his people's freedom. As these opposing forces collide, the outcome of the battle will not only determine the fate of Mactan but also leave an indelible mark on the course of Philippine history.
