Si Valene Mary Lacasse ay isang lock na mahirap buksan. Valene is the exact definition of a closed book. Magka-klase si Valene at Aquil, prom nila noon at ang dalawa nalang ang walang ka-date kaya pinag-pares nalang sila ng teacher nila. Sa gabi ng promenade, naka-usap niya si Valene sa hardin at nalaman niya kung bakit laging mag-isa ang babae. But still, why? Why would such a beautiful girl love being alone?
"I love being alone. I've been alone all these years and I got along with life just fine. Better than I was before. But there is a cost to it. Being alone means starting a war inside of you that you can never win," wika ng babae habang naka-titig sa madilim na kalangitan at matamlay na naka-ngiti.

Field of Dreams in Sorrowful Fires
IN 90'S YEARBOOK SERIES 1 Why do our dreams so often feel like distant stars, as if just beyond reach? Why must we wrestle so fiercely, bleeding through wounds of doubt and stumbling beneath shadows, just to claim the right to call them our own? Must relentless struggle be the price we pay for fulfillment, as if the path to our dreams is carved only through pain and sacrifice? In the words of Yves Magdalene Aquino, even the deepest hardships cannot be measured against the pursuit of her dreams. No measure of suffering, no storm of sweat, blood, or tears has ever sufficed to compensate for the relentless efforts she invests simply to support her own needs and to ease the burdens carried by her parents. For her, no amount of effort ever feels enough. Yet, despite tireless effort, Yves feels the poignant ache of insufficiency. No amount of sacrifice seems to grant peace to her mother's weary heart or to lay rest upon her father's tired shoulders. In her heart, she wrestles with a haunting question: Is she truly deserving of these dreams, or are they forever just out of reach? Even to him, she once believed she could firmly hold on. . . the one who made reality blur with dreams, who pulled doubt away like a gentle tide withdrawing from shore. To him, she surrendered all doubt, forgetting for a moment that she was dreaming at all, because in his presence, the weight of the world seemed to dissolve into the palm of her hand. Yet, some dreams are not meant to last forever. Lorenzo Coriolanius Escaleaez, the name that once echoed with warmth and endless possibility, became the dream she outgrew. And she wished she'd never wake up. That she;d'd never face the reality. . . that the freedom to dream anew, beyond all she had imagined. . . beyond the fragile longing for what once was.

Blissfully Chaotic
High school sweethearts. That's how people labeled Cydney Vallescas and Bryle Velleres. Their relationship is an ideal thing for some high school students like them. Paano ba naman... naging magkaklase, naging magkaibigan, nagkaligawan, sabay pumapasok sa school at sabay ding umuuwi, at parehong date ang isa't isa sa prom. Their young relationship is just so ideal for teens like them. It's like a dream. Iyong tipong mapapa-"sana all" na lang ang mga tao sa paligid nila. Lahat ay humahanga sa kanila at hinihiling na sana'y sila na talaga hanggang sa huli. Sila rin naman ay ganoon ang tanging hiling. Kaya lang minsan, kapag nangangarap tayo nang sobra, mas lalong hindi iyon nagkakatotoo. When Cydney and Bryle graduated high scool, that's the time they realized that maybe... they aren't really meant for each other. Maybe it's really true that high school lovers seldom become each other's end game. [The photo of this book cover is NOT MINE. I got it from Pinterest. Credits to the rightful owner.]Complete

I Didn't Expect (Fall Duology #1)
FALL DUOLOGY #1 Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta College was supposed to be another peaceful chapter for Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta. Yung tipong gaya ng elementary, junior high, at senior high niya: puro aral, bonding with friends, gala, at memories na iiyakan sa graduation. Simple and predictable. Pero biglang may papasok na bagong category sa buhay niya: love. After years of thinking "bata pa ako para magkacrush," Reiv finds herself falling hard for someone. Ang problema? Yung taong gusto niya, may ibang gusto. Wala siyang ibang pinansin kundi ito... pero ang crush niya, wala ring ibang tiningnan kundi ang taong hindi siya. So what will she do? Will she do everything just to be seen, or let fate decide what's meant for her? If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, then maybe it never was. In the middle of unreciprocated feelings, tahimik na kilig, at mga tanong kung "susuko ba o lalaban pa?" Reiv starts to see herself in the stories she used to only watch from afar. Minsan, habang iniintindi natin ang kilos ng ibang tao, hindi natin namamalayan... tayo rin pala, may sarili nang kwento na unti-unting nabubuo. What if ganoon si Reiv? What if the ending she never expected... was the one written for her all along?
