"Have you ever fallen in love?" The kid asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Really?" She smiled. "How does it feel?"
I sigh, put down the book that I was reading and said "It felt nice actually. But I've fallen to the wrong person." I face her and smiled bitterly as I remember the image of the girl I used to love.
"Well did you broke her heart? Was she not worth it?" She pouts her lips.
I look at the innocent face the little kid is wearing and waves of memories flashed in me as I reminisce the times we were together.
The time I still hear her laugh, the time I can still see her beauty in every angle she face, the time when she cooked me breakfast and I just stay quiet on how awful it taste. But still, I loved it. Even how much the dishes she cook burnt, even how much she complains about how ugly she looks but to my perspective, she looks perfect just the unique way she is.
"She was more worth it, than ever is." I meant every word I said.

Sparks [COMPLETE]
How do you know when love strikes you? Yun ba yung mga pagkakataon na nararamdaman mo yung 'butterflies in your stomach'? That giddy and nakakakilig na feeling? Or is it when you feel those sparks from your entwined hands down to your spine? Yung kunting skin to skin mo sa kanya, nakukuryente ka na agad? And with his every little touch you feel those hairs at the back of your neck come to life. Or baka naman yung feeling na kayong dalawa lang ang na-stuck sa mundo? Yung feeling na nag-fade away lahat ng tao sa paligid niyo at kayong dalawa na lang ang natitira? Baka naman yun yung certain ka na sa mga katagang, 'love at first sight'? Yung alam mo na nakatagpo mo na ang taong bubuo sa pagkatao mo. Yung tinatawag nilang apple to your pie or yung icing sa ibabaw ng cupcake mo, yung mga ganern. Whatever it is, siguradong sigurado si Dae that what hit him that one trivial night was that thing they called love. And being the stubborn spoiled brat that he is, he'll do whatever it takes to get his love of his life to reciprocate to his undying love. He even made it possible to get married to his dearest. Ang tanong, will he be able to make Knightly fall in love with him considering that he is gay and the object of his affection is straight? And how can he make their marriage work when his love is unrequited? Started: June 2020 Ended: May 2021Complete

Conquering the Barriers

Sounds like bullshit? Yup. The truth may be harsh but it is what it is. Once you failed to reach the very high standards set by the society, you're doomed.

TOTGA (Candy Stories #4) (Published under Flutter Fic)
Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more? *** May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam. Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit. Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana. Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga? Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish.Complete
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.
She Fell First (GirlxGirl)
"She Fell Series Book One" ** "I-I'm sorry!" Nabigla ako dahil nasampal ko si Elise. "I mean no, why the hell did you do that?" I asked giving her a death glare. "I told you I wanted to confirm something." Elise while holding her cheek na tinamaan ng sampal ko. "The hell with that! You have the nerve to kiss me with the same lips you used to kiss Kate like literally a month? What is wrong with you?!" I asked with a narrowed brows. Tumayo si Elise at tumingin sa akin. "You're jealous of Kate, are you?" She coyly asked. "Wha-- Get the hell out of here!" I asserted. "I like you Claire and I will do everything para magustuhan mo rin ako." She smiled at me. Naglakad naman siya palabas ng pinto. "Wait!" I called her back, huminto naman ito na hindi padin lumilingon. "I'm not into girls so don't waste your time!" I exclaimed. What a lame excuse I know, after everything that happened between us. "Really? But your kiss says otherwise." She smirked at me. ** Author's Note: This story has a theme of girl-to-girl.

More than a Fantasy
In a world where everyone wants to be aesthetic, she's used to being admired but never truly seen. Compliments come easy-"You're so pretty!" "You look amazing!"-but no one ever asks, "Are you okay?" For the longest time, she's felt like a painting in a gallery-gazed at, praised, but never really known. Then there's him. He's not the poetic type who spins metaphors about her beauty, nor the mysterious bad boy everyone secretly obsesses over. He's just... him. The kind of person who forgets his umbrella on rainy days, orders the same coffee every morning, and sometimes stumbles over his words when he's excited. The first time they talked, he didn't stare too long. Didn't say she was breathtaking. Instead, he simply asked: "Pagod ka na ba?" And somehow, that meant more than any compliment ever did. With him, she doesn't have to be perfect. She doesn't have to be put together, doesn't have to filter her words or curate every moment. She can be quiet, messy, lost in her thoughts-and still, he stays. He listens. He waits. He makes her feel like she doesn't have to be anyone else but herself. Sometimes, love isn't about grand gestures or heart-fluttering moments. Sometimes, it's just someone who makes space for you, who stays even when the moment isn't aesthetic, even when you're not your best, even when you have nothing to say. And for the first time, she doesn't feel like a painting in a gallery. She feels like she's home.Complete
Cliche (Candy Stories #5)
Growing up insecure, Aurora firmly believes she does not suit someone as perfect as Maxwell. But with him continuing to love her despite her insecurities and fears, will Aurora finally choose to let Maxwell in--or will she keep pushing him away even if it breaks her heart? *** Every love is unique. Every heartbreak is cliche. When I was young, I met a prince who told me I'm beautiful. Sabi niya, paglaki namin, liligawan niya 'ko. We grew up, but unfortunately, I had a reverse story of the ugly duckling. The prince continued to be a prince, while I became the unpretty duck that wouldn't become swan. Bumuhaghag ang buhok ko. Umitim ako. Natadtad ng taghiyawat. Sasabihin siguro ng iba, okay lang pumangit paglaki. Beauty is something that should shine from within. But that's not completely true. Kahit ga'no kaganda ang kalooban, laging huhusgahan ang hitsura. People judge with the eyes first-always. I learned that everyone desires to be interesting, but not different. There is a standard and everyone wants the same thing-beauty, recognition, intellect. I only wanted one thing-to stop dreaming for the prince. But he's Maxwell. When he's in my life, he pulls me into his magnetic field no matter how much I resist. When he's out of my sight, I miss him. Nagkaatraso ako sa kanya no'ng college. As fate would have it, we are going to see each other. Again.Complete
