SIS (Social Issue Series) #2: Stereotyping

Piercing, Tattoo, Dyed Hair. Usual indications of a badass. Kapag babae ka at meron ka nito ay malamang fuck girl, adik, slut, o wala ka raw patutunguhan sa buhay.

Lia Kennedy grew up doing whatever she likes. Wala siyang nakitang rason para pigilan ang sarili sa kung ano man ang mga nakapagpapasaya sa kaniya. Ngunit nang mamulat ay nagising siya sa mapait na katotohanang hindi mo magagawa lahat ng gusto mo sa mundo. Madali para sa iba ang manghusga base lang sa kung ano ang nakikita nila sayo.

Ridge Terrence is no exception.  A serious guy who had things plan ahead for his life. He's one of those who believe that what you see is what you get. He gives no time for bullshits.

As Lia gets stuck between being herself and changing to be accepted, she faced several conflicts in her teenage years that brought their fate together.

Will it be a good thing? Or a bad thing?

In a garden full of roses, how many of us cared for a single thorn? Whenever we glide on every single rose, we hate it when our dress gets caught up by a thorn. But you say it's your favorite? How much pain can you endure by accepting that every single rose has multiple thorns that can prick you, hurt you, and leave you wounded? For Hardin Grathia Costan, the thorns should be hidden. It should be buried and should never see the light of day. Iyon ang palaging utos ng kaniyang boyfriend. Kapalit ng lahat ng naitulong nito sa kaniya simula nang mawala ang kaniyang mga magulang. Sa pag-aaral at sa buhay na meron siya ngayon. Ayos lang sa kaniyang sumunod palagi sa utos. After all, everyone loves roses, their petals, and their sweet scent. Everyone yearns for perfection. Hindi tinatanggap kung hindi perpekto. Iniiwan kapag hindi sumusunod. She's so used to being the perfect girlfriend. The obedient one. A trophy. Her boyfriend can make her do a lot of things that even she, herself, cannot imagine doing. Change the way she dresses? Stop listening to her favorite artists. Even zip her mouth while he cheats? Okay. But when an unexpected thing happened, her boyfriend needed the money to save his grandmother, his only parent growing up. He traded her for millions. And now, she needed to be a girlfriend for someone she didn't even love. His boyfriend's boss, Flame Augustus Monforte. By the hopes that someday, all of her sacrifices for him would be reciprocated. But how is that Flame able to take out the thorn from the rose I built? I thought it was supposed to be hidden. It should be buried, right? Never to see the light of day?

SIS (Social Issue Series) #4: Bullying They say that beauty is a luxury. That good looks is the only privilege that matters. That the world is only in favor of those who were born pretty. Sa panahon nga raw ngayon, parang kasalanan na ang pagiging less attractive. You're unappealing? Emotionally weak? Naive? How pathetic. Now you gotta deal with the consequences, loser. 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. Yara Isabelle got the deadliest combination of being unattractive, soft-hearted and innocent. But she used to get by and survive the bullying just fine. Because she got her knight-in-shining armor. Her childhood sweetheart. Not until he stopped saving her. Not until he stopped caring. Not until he got fed up of everything. Sky Edison used to be full of compassion. But that was before something terrible happened within their family. His perception had changed. He now finds it ridiculous that people let themselves get treated badly. However, the downside is that for some significant circumstances, these two have to share a condo as they enter senior high school. What could possibly happen given their situation? How would it feel like living under the same roof not with your bully but your former superhero who's now just a witness of your despair? How would it feel like going home to a place with a person who gets to see you getting bullied everyday at school? Wattys 2020 Winner under Young Adult Category

"You can't escape me Samantha. Not now. Not tomorrow. Never." wika ni Tres sa nanggagalaiting tinig. I take a step backward to avoid his skin to touch mine. May kakaibang damdamin ang pumupukaw sa akin kapag nagdidikit ang mga balat namin. And its not normal. "Y-You can't lock me up in this Island Tres! Hindi mo ako pagmamay-ari! No one owns me!" kahit natatakot ay pilit kong pinatatag ang boses ko. "No sweetheart. I. Own. You. Your father sold you to me. Pag aari kita. So better be a good girl like before kung ayaw mong magalit ako. You know how mad dogs are." Mariing wika nito pagkatapos hapitin ang bewang ko na naging dahilan ng malakas kong pagsinghap. I am trapped with the Lions cage.
