A Fanboy's Confession
Hindi ko alam kung saan ko sisimulan ang confession na ito. Gaya ng ibang mga kaibigan ko, mayroon din akong first love, pero ang pagkakaiba namin. Walang nakakaalam nito kung hindi ako lang. Bakit ko nga ba kailangan ilihim? Because the girl that I love is unreachable. She's the brightest star in my eyes, and in my heart. Her name in Nigella Cruz. Sometimes, she's right in front of me, but I can't reach her. Near yet so far.
Pero may isa pa akong lihim, sa tuwing hindi ko nagugustuhan ang ginagawa niya. I became her number one basher online, it's not that I hate her, kung hindi, iyon lang ang nakikita kong paraan para maiparating sa kanya ang kamalian niya. Hanggang sa hindi ko akalain na darating ang panahon na magagawa ko na abutin ang mga kamay niya, makikita ko ng malapitan ang kagandahan niya. Heaven made a way for me to enter her heart, and I am the happiest man alive! Sa wakas, napansin na rin niya ako. Sa wakas, may pagkakataon na akong sabihin na mahal ko siya.
But truly, love is not always about sweet dreams, nakalimutan ko na may nightmares din pala. Nasaktan kita, pero mas doble ang sakit na binalik mo sa akin. Then I thought, maybe... it's time for me to give you up, don't you think?
Twenty-four-year-old travel blogger Cory Dimaranan is tasked to seek and showcase the wonders of Palawan. But when she accidentally discovers things from her past, can the beauty of Palawan and a possible love interest be enough to make her stay?
***
Travel blogger Corentienne Dimaranan gets the biggest twist in her life when she's sent to Palawan for her job. The plan is simple: she would go around the area, write articles about it, and showcase its wonders to their readers. Finding her biological parents shouldn't be a part of it at all. But when she accidentally crosses paths with diving instructor Douglas Alejandria, everything starts to go downhill. He's impulsive, stubborn, and full of himself-someone Cory shouldn't fall for. With him insisting on touring her and them spending more time together, Cory suddenly becomes unsure of her feelings. When the doubts from her past start to cloud the happy memories of her trip with Douglas, can Cory face her fears and the family that once left her behind? Or will she disregard Palawan's wonders and her feelings for Douglas, even if it means breaking her heart?
