In the midst of this global pandemic pausing threat to health and life of everyone, distorting the Philippine economy, industries, transportation, and even education-no one would expect love will come in this fateful and unprecedented event in our most recent history.
Cielo, who hails from Bacolod City opted to take her chances at the busy and noisy life of Metro Manila than to blindly obey the wishes of her grandparents even before the declaration of the lockdown that closed borders from one town to one including cities and provinces. 

The young lad from Negros believed that she'd rather experienced first-hand hard work than being paired and marry someone she never knew, a certain Iñigo Luzuriaga from the scion of immunologists in their province, whom she has not met.

Armed with her optimism, experience as a college editor, and the blessings of her loving parents, Cielo flew to Manila following the few calls of his daddy to his contacts, amigos, and business partners.

While Chum is slowly getting back to his system after falling out with Trish; Roque for an undisclosed reason. Trying to move on Chum has always put pressure on himself to be the best at what he does with the tiniest hope that perhaps Trish will notice the changes.

But what they did not know is that nothing will be the same again. Everything has passed and are now part of the new normal, and better chapter of their individual and cumulative life as Chum and Cielo were tasked to work together, a work that will spur camaraderie, chances, and hope to two unknowing hearts.

I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing° by FallinginReverze

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?

Tanglawan, a new land that emerged from the ruins of what was once the Philippines, continues to flourish, as facilitated by the Exorbit, a government-owned microchip introduced to a person's body. Everyone feels safe and well taken care of, with their fates, including their love lives, already predetermined. Everything was in place, until one day, Pia, a Keeper-in-training, came across something she wasn't supposed to see, in the midst of her desperate attempt to get together with Agui, her first love. Pia is convinced that Agui is her real love and her not getting together with him was the reason why all relationships she tried entering into always end on a bad note. There's only one problem in their getting together, though-her Exorbit malfunctions when she uses it with Agui, and their compatibility and dating prompts don't show. Determined to find a solution to what she thinks is the only thing keeping her and Agui from getting together, Pia finds herself entangled in the operations of Mulat, an underground movement of great thinkers who wanted to break free from government control brought by the Exorbit. There, she meets Aki, a dreamy, idealistic guy who also makes her heart skip a beat. In this post-apocalyptic society where choices are limited, Pia found herself deciding not just for herself but also for the future of the entire Tanglawan. Will she make the right choice? --- Highest Ranking Achieved: # 2 Dystopianfuture - January 22, 2025 # 3 Surveillance - January 22, 2025

So many unrealistic demands. Bakit kaya ang daming expectations na sine-set ng mga taong na sa paligid natin? Na kahait na anong mangyari sa buhay mo ay mayroon pa din' mga mag j-judge sa bawat galaw at mga desisyon mo? But there's nothing we can do, That's how society is, how this generation works, and that's how life is. Ang hirap hirap ng lahat. Ang bigat bigat. Love, work, maintaining a good reputation, keeping up an act, taking note of every detail to avoid making even the smallest mistakes. Ang hirap, No? Na halos gusto mo nalang sumuko at iwan ang lahat ng bagay, tao, at napagdaan mo. When will I finally be free? Was what I thought everyday. I wanna end this, everything. Then, you came. You made life worse yet you made me feel like I could achieve everything and that everything will be alright. You're so complicated, yet you became like the air I need to breathe. You are the pain that lifted all other pains. My remedy, my solace through the grief.
