"Walang silbi. Palamunin. Sana hindi ka na lang niluwal sa mundo!"

Iyan ang mga salitang pinakain sa kaniya ng stepmother at lola niya mula pagkabata. Naging suwail at matigas ang ulo ni Jemima kaya wala siyang ibang kaibigan liban sa nag-iisa niyang kababata. 

Nang mamatay ang lola niya ay pinamana sa kaniya ang malawak na lupain. Hindi ito nagustuhan ng stepmother niya kaya mas lalong naging marahas ang salitang binabato sa kaniya pero immune na siya, kaya wala siyang pakialam. 

Liban na lang nang inuwi ng stepmother niya ang anak nito sa unang asawa. Ni hindi man lang tumutol ang Papa niya bagkus mas minahal nito ang stepsister niyang may dalawang mukha. Lahat na lang ng meron siya ay gusto nitong makuha. Pati sa school ay naging "star of the show" ang stepsister niya. 

Well, isang cinderella story naman kasi ang buhay ni Jemima. Ang pinagkaiba lang, mabait si Cinderella habang si Jemima naman ay hindi.

Based on James 3:8 "But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison."

(Yours Series # 5) Graciella Rae Arevalo just wants to love and be loved. She feels like she has a lot of love to give and she just wants her own person to love. Mayroon na kasing mga boyfriend at girlfriend iyong mga tao sa paligid niya. She doesn't want to be a burden to anyone. She wants her own person to love and to spoil. Ang problema, parang ayaw naman sa kanya ng pag-ibig. She has been told to just wait for it because it will eventually come to her. And she wants to, ang kaso, she's always surrounded by death that she feels like she's always running out of time. Ilang blind date na ang napuntahan niya. She always tries to find the good in the person in front of her, but for some reason, walang spark. Ayaw niya naman na i-sacrifice iyon. Alam niya na nag-eexist iyon. She's seen it. She just needs to look harder. Pero baka tama nga sila... na kapag hindi mo hinahanap, saka doon dadating. Because apparently, she's been looking for love in all the wrong places when all along, he's always been right in front of her.
