We do not have the capacity to anticipate every single event that will happen in our lives.
It just doesn't work that way.
Because sometimes.. It just does.
And it may even come without a warning, without a sign or without a clue.
It just sticks its head out of the bed and then suddenly it's there.
Suddenly, you don't know why it happened or why it took place in that moment of your life.
Suddenly, it's there and it won't go away.
Suddenly, you're carried away by it's presence.
Suddenly, you're drawn to it.
At first, you wonder why you can't control it.
But.
Maybe.
Just maybe.
Uncertainty can help us learn more about ourselves, our sorroundings, our entirety.
That uncertainty exists not only for the purpose of shocking us but also for the purpose of showing what needs to be shown.
Our life stories overlap a bunch of times with the stories of other people.
And this time,
The life of a struggling photographer overlaps with the life of a swimmer who can only seem to think of the sea.
Who only seems to see the sea.

That Summer Rain We Didn't Expect (Luna Vista Series #1)
In the quiet town of Luna Vista, there's an old saying: when it rains during summer, something unforgettable is bound to happen-whether it's beautiful or not. In a cozy coffee shop where the rain always seemed to follow them, something quietly bloomed. It grew with the scent of old books and warm drinks. Like summer itself, brief yet unforgettable, some moments are not meant to be planned but only felt. What began as ordinary days slowly turned into something they never expected. When unexpected rain started to fall, so did things they never prepared for: glances that linger too long, feelings left unspoken, and memories that would never fade. Airielle has always been afraid of being alone, not because she doesn't enjoy the silence, but because of the weight that comes with it. Growing up with wounds she never fully spoke about, she learned to keep her walls high and her heart guarded. But what happens when, during one unexpected summer rain, she's forced to let go of everything she tried so hard to hold on to? Including him. Will she find the courage to face the storm inside her? Or will she have to forget that summer rain they didn't expect just to finally begin healing? Because sometimes, it's the unexpected rain that leaves the deepest mark.

Oddly Familiar
Some people feel like memories the first time you meet them. She knew better than to trust someone so soon - pero may kung anong sa kanya na parang matagal nang kilala. What began as a spontaneous decision turned into late-night conversations, shared silences, quiet stares, and a kind of intimacy neither of them expected - or fully understood. For her, it wasn't love. Not yet. But it felt like home. And maybe, that was even scarier. Just when things were beginning to make sense... two pink lines changed everything. "Buntis ako." In a world where love felt dangerous, marriage seemed like a trap, and the future was always uncertain, she's forced to make a choice: to face a truth she's not ready for, tell someone she's not sure she can trust, and carry a life she never planned. Is she ready to tell him - and risk breaking something she barely understands? Or stay silent, keep it, and face it all alone? Oddly Familiar is a story about moments that change us, people who arrive when we least expect them, and a kind of love that feels both terrifying and true. It's about growing up too soon, letting go too late, and finding courage in the most unexpected places. Because sometimes, the people we meet by accident are the ones who stay. And sometimes, we ride off with strangers who feel oddly... familiar.
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 MistakeComplete

Emerald Eyes
I could've sworn I was in sanity but everyone thought I wasn't. The same thought whirled through the heads of my parents who specifically gave birth to me. With that, I found myself falling in love with my own solitude. I fought my demons alone. I chose to live by myself and isolated myself from the people I love. I'd been searching long and hard for a hand to hold. Then suddenly, a small light hidden in the depths of darkness flashed before me and the wall that I've been unconsciously building to protect myself vanished in an instant. Once again, I felt the affection and I was desperate to keep it. However, little did I know that a lot of malevolent eyes were keeping track of what I do. I am not who I think I am. The other world has confirmed it. But my past won't allow me to change. Will I keep on choosing love? Or will I accept my destiny that has been long engraved in the prophecy?
