For Once, Let Me Choose
Former Buhay 3 in 1
Taglish | Drama | Fantasy | Ilocos-Based
Mira seems like just another friendly waitress at a sleepy café in Laoag-soft-spoken, mabait, and always ready with extra rice and a warm smile. But behind her quiet charm lies a tangled web of secrets.
Unknown to the people around her, Mira is living three lives:
A waitress trying to survive the weight of unspoken trauma,
A broken soul running from a past she refuses to name,
And a missing princess from a forgotten realm, whose return could spark war-or healing.
As her dreams blur with reality and her memories begin to betray her, Mira must face the truth she's buried deep: she doesn't belong only in this world. And the past she tried to escape? It's coming for her.
In a world where magic flickers behind everyday moments, Buhay 3 in 1 is a story of identity, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to carry three lives in one fragile heart.

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.
