Simple lang ang buhay ng isang Nate Craige. 'Di naman mayaman 'di rin naman mahirap. Ika nga sabi ng iba eh "'swak" lang. May pamilya siya, may mga kaibigan, at katulad mo at ako ay may mga ups and downs rin siya sa buhay. Mga pag subok na katulad mo at ako ay dinaranas rin.
Labing apat na taon pa lamang siya nang iwan silang mag iina ng kanilang padre de pamilya upang makipag talik sa ibang babae. Malaki ang naging epekto n'on sa kanilang pamumuhay at kung hindi dahil sa sipag at tiyaga ng kan'yang pinaka mamahal na ina ay malamang habang buhay sila naging lugmok sa hirap.
Malaki ang pag papasalamat niya dito dahil sa pag tayo 'di lang bilang ina, kundi bilang ama na rin sa kanilang dalawang mag kapatid. Kaya hangat maaari ay gusto niya, bilang panganay, ay masuklian ang sakripisyo nito. Kaya gano'n na lang kalaki ang naging tuwa at pasasalamat niya nang maka pasa siya sa isang entrance exam para sa mga kolehiyo sa dati niyang pinapasukan kasama nang kan'yang dalawang kababata noong highschool pa lamang sila.
Alam niya kung gaano ka mahal ang matrikula dito kaya lubos ang galak na naramdaman niya. Pero syempre ano pa nga ba ang aasahan sa isang paaralang mataas ang estado?
Ang pinaka ayaw niya maging ng mga kaibigan niya ay ang mga maaarte, mayayabang, mga mata pobre, mga bastos, at lalo na ang mga "mayayamang" walang modo. Dahil rin sa mga 'to kung ba't sila natutong makipag basag ulo. Aba sa dami ba naman ng mga ganito sa mundo ngayon? At ang masaklap pa ay marami ring ganito sa unibersidad na papasukan nila.
Kung ganito ka at babae ka? Mabubungangaan ka. Lalaki ka? Pwes malilintikan ka.
So ANO na lang ang mangyayari kapag may babae siyang na meet? Isang babaeng bagong lipat sa paaralang papasukan nila. Babaeng mayaman, maputi, maganda, tahimik, AT mas matanda kesa sa kan'ya.
Sabihin na lang nating unang encounter pa lang nila ay 'di na nag click.
Bakit?
All I can say is to read this and enjoy the roller coaster ride.

"You may not want to be in my head. You might find someone other than myself that you won't be able to forget. It'll haunt you like a nightmare you can't tell. " "Silly. What's in that tough demeanor, ate Cray?" tumawa lang si Ember at kumapit ulit sa braso ko. "I like you. That's enough right?" Napailing na lang ako sa inaasal nito. If she'll learn our history, she'll then understand. Pinalis ko yung kamay nitong nakakapit na naman sa braso ko. "Compose yourself, Ember. I don't like you. You're just like a sister to me. Someone I had to protect with my life." I caught the way those words cut through her. It's visible in the same set of lifeless coal eyes that I am most familiar with. "Bakit?" I stared at her blankly. "Atleast tell me what you don't like about me." "That's exactly why it hurts the way it hurts." Napangiti ako ng mapait. "You have too many questions, too many words, in your head. But those will be left unsaid. Like me, you have to suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much every single day of your life. It hurts like hell." "Damn you. I like you." "You like me for what?" "You. You're not like everyone else. You're so sure of yourself. You're clever. You're self-made. You're everything. Everyone likes you. So you should be mine." I laughed at how shallow those things meant for her. Someone who can't even meet me in the depths of my shattered soul. "Thanks. But those are all my disorder." As i was about to turn my back, she whispered, "I actually feel sorry for you. You still don't know what it was that you even had. And yet still choose to lose. But one day, you'll see me for who I really am. And you're going to hate yourself for turning me down." No, Ember. You're wrong. I know you. You don't know me. Our past will surely haunt us. For you, I'll just be a girl known by everyone. But in fact, known by no one. It's terrible isn't it? The way we throw people away. ****Kumpleto
ANG WALANG HANGGANG PAALAM
"O pagibig na makapangyarihan... pag ikaw ay nasok sa puso ninuman hahamakin ang lahat masunod ka lamang..."Katagang madalas nating maririnig sa matatanda tuwing tayo’y lumulundag sa usapang pag-ibig. Bakit nga ba nasabing makapangyarihan ang pag-ibig? Siguro gaya ngayon, hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa kukote ko’t naisipan ko itong isulat. Ang totoo eh, ngayon lang ako magsusulat tungkol sa pag-ibig. Marahil sa kaduwagan na rin na masabihan akong baduy at malambot bilang isang lalake. Alam naman nating lahat na ang mga lalake ay hindi dapat kailanman madidikit sa mga bagay at usapin na nagpapakita ng kahinaan. Mga bagay na gaya ng bulaklak, hugis puso, kulay na pink, shitzu, at mga stuffed toys lalo na ang Hello Kitty. Allergic kami dun noh! Kung sa bagay may mga kilala din akong mga astig pero nanonood ng mga koreanovela at umiyak nung mamatay si Bruce Willis sa pelikulang Armageddon. Pero meron nga kayang taong walang emosyon? Yung tipong hindi marunong magmahal at hindi rin marunong magalit? Kung papansinin ang katotohanan marami naman talagang tumatandang dalaga’tbinata. Pero hindi rin naman siguro sa kadahilanang hindi sila marunong magmahal.Kumpleto
Love Songs for No One
"In love ka na once accepted mo na 'yong person na 'yon kahit ano pa man siya. Buong-buo 'yong acceptance, hindi kalahati lang. Hindi sala sa lamig, sala sa init. Hindi napipilitan. Hindi natatakot." "Malalim," aniya. Tumikhim. "Mukhang based on experience." Tumawa si Kaye, hindi um-oo, hindi rin humindi. "Ikaw, ano'ng answer mo?" "Ano na bang pagmamahal pinag-uusapan natin? Fans, supporters-readers o romantic na ata 'yan?" natatawang aniya. "Hindi ako nag-a-assume kaso 'yang mga hugutang ganyan, eh. . .may mga pinaglalaban." Tumigil sa paglalakad si Kaye. Nagpamulsa. Ang lawak ng ngiti sa labing may kaunti pang kintab. "Sige, romantic na." Umiling si Rayne, nangingiti rin. "Bilis ng change topic natin." "Oo nga, eh. Let's take it slow," anito, may pilyang pagkagat pa ng kaunti sa labi. "Dito muna tayo sa usapang 'to."Kumpleto
Sweetest Mistake
Alam mo 'yung feeling na wala ka namang ginagawang masama, pero parang pinagtitripan ka ng universe? Yung tipong isang maling liko mo lang, biglang ang daming domino effect na sumasabog sa mukha mo? Gano'n ang ganap sa buhay ko. Once upon a time, I was just an average girl-well, not-so-average dahil certified independent woman tayo, mga besh. I had a decent job, a stable life, and a heart that was very much closed for renovation. Bakit? Kasi my ex-boyfriend ghosted me. As in, bigla na lang nawala, walang pasabi, walang closure, walang anything. Eh di syempre, bilang matinong babae, I did what any rational human being would do-nag-move on nang slight. Pero 'di ko akalain na sa kagustuhan kong iwasan ang lalaking sinaktan ako, biglang may ibang lalaki namang ipapatapon sa buhay ko ang tadhana. At saang lugar pa? Sa isang hotel room. With a stranger. At hindi lang basta-bastang lalaki, kundi isang nakakagigil na tao na later on, malalaman kong magiging bagong boss ko. Yes. Alam kong wala akong luck sa love life, pero bakit pati sa career, pinaglalaruan ako ng tadhana? This is the story of how one mistake-one embarrassing, nakakahiya, and downright WORST moment of my life-turned into something I never expected. Welcome to my Sweetest MistakeKumpleto
Trapped with the Cactus-Lover
"You're my betrothed." "Naliligaw ka, Miss." Inis na isasara ko na sana yung pinto ng humarang sya doon. "I don't think so. You're Terry Alcatraz right?" Terry has never been terrified all her life, ngayon lang. As she is now standing infront of a Goddess in the form of this woman with 5'10 height, pinkish white skin na hindi yata sanay sa araw, ash gray hair, at yung malalamlam na mga mata na akala mo laging inaantok. Am I still dreaming? "Sino ka ba?" "I'm your betrothed." Hay nako. May baliw na naman na naligaw. I pity her. Maganda nga. Baliw naman. "You got it wrong. Babae ako, Miss." Tsk. Bibigyan ka na nga lang din ng kapareha. Babae pa na mas maganda sayo at may saltik sa utak. Where's justice? "No. I'm in the right place. We're engaged." "Baliw ka ba?" Asar na tanong ko na sa kanya. Nauubos na ang pasensya ko dahil inaantok pa ko. Nagtatakang tiningnan ako ng mga matang kulay tsokolate na iyon. "Me?" Hinagod pa ako nito ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Shit, why am I trapped with you? I wonder. I could have atleast chose a better one. My toenails is way more appealing than you!" Ano daw? Sa sobrang inis ko ay hindi ko napigilang hubarin ang suot kong house slippers at batuhin sya niyon. Sino ba naman ang hindi maiinis? Kagigising mo lang ay may kakatok na sa tapat ng pintuan nyo para lang mangtrip. Pagkatapos sasabayan pa ng panglalait. Tila naman umurong lahat ng tapang ko ng mag angat ng tingin mula sa tsinelas na tumama sa pisngi nito ang babaeng iyon na may pares ng kulay tsokolateng mata. She gave me a chillin' smile pagkatapos ay dinampot ang tsinelas ko saka ubod ng lakas na binato din sakin yung tsinelas ko. Fudge! My pretty face! "There, we're quits. That's what engaged people do. They give and take." pagkatapos ay ngumiti ng pagkatamis tamis na akala mo santita. "Hmm. Bakit parang mas maganda pa sayo yung slippers mo? You could have bought a face too." Ano daw? Papatayin ko talaga tong baliw na babaeng ito. ***Kumpleto
Loving Aria
"Hanggang ganito na lang ba? Ang tingin mo sakin pamatid ng panandaliang pangangailangan mo?" Iritableng napatingin ako sa pigurang iyon ni Corinne. Si Corinne! Fuck! Bakit ko ba kasi sya dinamay sa gulong ito. "Sinabi ko na sayo nung una pa lang di ba? Stay away from me!" Gigil na singhal ko sa kanya. "Dikit ka ng dikit! Tapos ngayon ako pa lumalabas na masama." Tila matutunaw naman ako ng unti-unting tumulo yung luha sa mga mata niya. "I love you, Aria. Pero kahit ilang beses ko namang sabihin iyon sayo wala lang di ba? Kasi until now hindi mo pa din kayang ibigay yung sarili mo ng buong-buo. Kasi hanggang ngayon nakakulong ka pa din sa kahapon mo. " "Hindi totoo yan.." Nanghihinang napaupo ako. What have I done? Bakit ba paulit ulit ko na lang syang nasasaktan? "I can't save you, Aria." Punung puno ng pait na sabi nya. "I can't save you kasi ayaw mong magpasalo. Hindi lahat sasaktan ka. Kelangan mo din magtiwala na hindi ko kayang saktan ka." Natawa lang ako ng pagak. "Tell me, Corinne. What's holding you back? Akala ko ba mahal mo ko? Bakit hindi mo magawang ibigay ng buo yung sarili mo?" Pinalis ni Corinne yung luhang umaagos sa magkabila niyang pisngi. "Because I know you. I know na pag nakuha mo na ko, Game over na. And I don't want to end everything that we have just because of that. " "Wow!" Napapalatak ako sa kanya. "Now, who have trust issues sa ating dalawa ngayon? " Ngumiti siya ng pilit. Another broken smile. How many times should I break her before she gives me up? "If I give myself to you now, Will you give me your heart?" Fuck! No! I don't know. I really don't know. She can have me. But I know that she can never have my heart.Kumpleto
Loving A Her (Intersex) Completed
I never imagined myself liking someone the same as me, let alone falling in love with them. // "Sinabi ko na sa'yo, hindi kita mahal." "No. You love me! I know it!" "Pa'no mo naman nasabi yan?" "Because you're protecting me!" "Trabaho ko 'yun." "Then I'll fire you!" "Nanay mo ang boss ko. Hind- " "Mom!" Suddenly, we heard footsteps coming towards the garden where we're currently in. "Yes honey?" She emerged from the sliding door. "Mom, fire her." She looked at me first before glancing at the person who's forehead are now creased. Then mom reverted her eyes back at me again and nonchalantly blurted out the answer. "Ok. August, you're fired." Then she left. I reverted my eyes back at the person I'm inlove with who has the most funny yet adorable creased forehead with a triumph smile. "Now, you're mine." Started: 3/17/21 Ended: 8/2/21Kumpleto
Let's Fake this for Real
Don't fall in love with me, though. I don't do relationships and I don't believe in commitments. Just a little precaution lang dahil women tend to fall for me. Don't like you to be broken hearted and miserable after this ordeal." He said smugly and Leigh couldn't help but scoffed. Yabang ng lalaking to! Ako mafa-fall sa kanya? Asa. "Don't worry. You're the kind of guy my mother likes and you know what?" she asked matching the same smug look on his face. "You see, mama and I are exactly polar opposites. Ang gusto ko, ayaw niya kaya hindi ko kailan man magugustuhan ang tulad mo Mr. Castillo. So sorry for bursting your bubbles this early." Phil nodded and leaned on his back looking quite satisfied. At hindi niya pinahalatang nasugatan ng konti ang ego niya. So may babae pa palang immune sa charms niya. "Good, that's wonderful to hear. I can't afford to have an overly-dramatic clingy woman right now. What do you say Ms. Santiago?" Phil gave her a challenging look. Leigh flipped her glossy black hair and smiled. "Count me in... babe." Fin 06/18/20 ***I don't own the photo*** ***credits to the original owner***Kumpleto
Vanilla's Poser Girl
"What makes you think you're already in love? You haven't even met that Zero." Natawa naman ako sa kaibigan kong si Leigh habang inaayos ko yung sintas ng sapatos ko. "Why Leigh? Do you fall in love at first sight? Hindi naman din di ba? Saka sabi mo, fall in love with the character. That's why I think I'm falling for this Zero." "You don't even know him yet, Van." "Exactly. Kaya nga ako naeexcite e. It seems that we don't know each other yet. But we can already feel the connection as if we've known each other for a long time." Natahimik naman ito doon. Pagkatapos ay sinimulan na din magpalit ng jersey. "Just slow down. You might find yourself breaking. Mamaya gamitin ka lang nyan." Umismid naman ako. "Gaya ng mga exes mo? Y'know what's wrong with you, Leigh? Pinangungunahan mo lahat. That's why no one can keep up with your standards." "Hey, I'm just saying if what if he's a psycho? A stalker? A hooker?" Tumawa naman ako dito. She's really paranoid. "Just step out of your safe zone, Leigh. You're already missing the most exciting part of life." "Slowing down isn't always bad, Vanilla." "Yeah, but look at you. Seriously? Continous failed relationships?" "Ikaw din naman a. Why aren't you finding the right one yet?" "I already found him. That's zero. I can feel the connection. He guesses everything about me perfectly. Like all of my favorites and quirks that only you and the girls can tell." I gave her an elated smile. "So, back off. And just be happy for me. Okay?" "What if that's a stalker or a paparazzi that already run a background check with you?" "Ang negative mo, Leigh. Seriously, just fall in love and get a life." Ngumiti ito ng nakakaloko. "Okay, so what will you do if that Zero is a girl?" Natigilan naman ako. "You're not Zero, are you?" "Of course not." Nakahinga naman ako. "As long as it's not you, I'm okay." "Why?" "Because I don't want to end up with a puppet like you. Yikes! A barbie doll of everyone."Kumpleto
The Lame Arrangement (Beautiful Disaster Series Book 2)
Being mayaman is never easy, siguro akala ng iba since mayaman ang tao ay wala ng problima, well that is one of the biggest lies the world has sa mga tulad namin. Oo I am spoiled kung pangangailangang material ang pag-uusapan. I don't have to work so hard para lang makapag-aral since my parents are well off not just to give what I need but all I want. Pero kahit ganun I never abused that fact in my life, wala rin akong inapakan or kinutyang tao, so damn why it feels like the world is against me. Anong bang ginawa kong mali, ako ay isang dalagang tahimik lang na nag-aantay ng batman ko pero parang malas yata ako at ung magulang ko eh kulang nalang ay ipamigay ako sa taong ni minsan di ko pa nakita ni nakasama. Ano bang masamang hangin ang pumasok sa isip nila, hays! All my life they have been dictating what I should do, I am not a rebellious type of daughter, I always make sure that my relationship with my parents ay maayos at walang gulo or gusot. I don't like dramas; the world is already full of suffering people I don't want to be counted as one. Pero sa lagay ko ngaun mukhang mas malala pa sa teleserye ang ginawa ng aking mabuting ina at pinayagan naman ng aking ama. Aba, busy na nga ako kakamanage ng mga businesses naming dagdag pa sa sakit ng ulo ko kung pano lulusutan ang ginagawa ng mama ko, hays. May batman pa kayang andyan para sagipin ako, Lord naman bakit ganito? Ngaun pa ba ko minalas? Sarap maglayas, hays.Kumpleto
