Sa ating buhay, maraming mga pangyayari ang 'di natin inaasahan. Ang mga pangyayaring ito ay nagdudulot ng masama o magamdang resulta sa ating buhay. Pero sabi nga ng iba "everything happens for a reason". Minsan, kung ano pa yung 'di natin inaasahang mangyari ito pa ang nagbibigay ng kulay sa ating buhay.
Katulad na lamang ng isang dalagang ang tanging gusto lamang ay ang mamuhay ng payapa at masagana kasama ang kanyang pamilya.
Isang dalaga na biniyayaan ng katalinuhan at kasipagan. Ngunit nagmula sa isang mahirap na pamilya.
Isang dalagang hindi man lamang naranasang magkaroon ng kaibigan dahil sa estado ng kanilang buhay. Dito niya napatunayan na she can live without friends. Tumatak na sa kanyang isipan na having a friend is only a distraction to your success.
Dalagang hindi natatakot sumubok ng sumubok dahil naniniwala siya na a person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new.
Ngunit sa pagpapatuloy ng kanyang buhay, may di inaasahang pangyayari na gumunaw sa kanyang mundo. Pangyayaring magpapakilala sa kanya sa mga taong totoo at mapagkakatiwalaan niya.
Kasama ang mga taong propesyon ang agham at medisina, dito mahuhubog ang tatag at determinasyon upang mapuksa ang kinatatakutan ng lahat.

Be Careful What You Wish For (PUBLISHED)
Ana is in a rut. For years, she had been focused on trying to carve out a niche for herself in a competitive, male-dominated, scientific world. On her 32nd birthday, she finally takes a step back and evaluates her life’s direction. With a little prodding from her friends, she decides that this is the year she’ll finally capture the heart of the research associate she’s secretly loved for ages. So she makes a birthday wish—to finally fall in love with someone ('with' being the operative word). But be careful what you wish for—Fate always answers—even if it isn't the exact answer we were hoping for. Find out how even the best-laid plans go awry when the paths of two very different people suddenly collide. Sometimes people search their whole lives for a happy-ever-after.

Chaos: The Spark Behind the Muse
"Chaos: The Spark Behind the Muse" ay kwento ng isang 22-year old na babae, Accountancy student sa isang mamahaling University sa Manila. Siya si Vee, na naging bihag ng kanyang mga sakit at takot. Iniwan ng pamilya at ipinagkatiwala sa mayamang lola, pinilit niyang magpatuloy sa buhay, subalit ang kalungkutan mula sa pagkakahiwalay sa pamilya ay naghatid sa kanya sa madilim na landas. Sa bawat hakbang, nagiging mahirap ang pagkontrol sa kaguluhan sa kanyang buhay-pag-takas sa gabi, clubbing, at pagkalulong sa bawal na gamot dulot ng pag-sama sa iba ibang kaibigan. Lahat ng ito ay naging paraan ni Viena upang matakasan ang kanyang pinagdadaanan, ngunit hindi nito naalis ang sakit sa kanyang puso. Sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, isang tao lang ang patuloy na nagmamahal sa kanya-ang kanyang half-brother na si Lucas. Ngunit dahil sa takot na muling maiiwan, tinanggihan niya ito, iniisip na hindi siya karapat-dapat sa pag-mamahal. Habang patuloy na nalulugmok sa kaguluhan ng kanyang buhay, walang alam si Lucas at ang iba pang miyembro ng pamilya na may malubhang kondisyon si Vee, isang sakit na dati'y akala ni Vee ay PTSD. Ang sakit na ito ay tahimik na sumisira sa kanya, at sa kaniyang pag-asa. This story shows how invisible wounds in the heart and body can lead a person into overwhelming turmoil, while the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment becomes a battle against one's own demons. The real question is: How far can Vee continue, despite the pain she endures? Let's see if she can ever achieve the essence of the title "Chaos: The Spark Behind the Muse".
BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing°
I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?
