El Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed)
From the renowned Filipino reformist and national hero Dr. Jose Rizal comes a classic piece of literature portraying the grim reality of the backward state of the Philippines during the Spanish era. After the events of the first novel "Noli Me Tangere", El Filibusterismo follows the story of Simoun, a mysterious jeweller from America on a business venture in the Philippines. Widely known by the name "Black Cardinal", he earned his infamous reputation as a trader for his dark but unusually persuasive countenance, crooked morals, and unorthodox methods in doing business. To the regular folk, he is just another entrepreneur with a twisted sense of morality, but unknown to everybody, he is much more than just a mere opportunist he seemed to be. For beneath his dark glasses and silvery white hair, there lies beyond them a much deeper and darker persona...waiting for the right time to strike!Dokončeno

Elegance beyond Time
Prologue The streets of old Manila were alive with whispers of revolution and the heavy steps of the Guardia Civil. Maria had learned to navigate the dangers of her world-poverty, hunger, and the watchful eyes of those who would see her kind disappear. She was a girl of grace despite her circumstances, her elegance a quiet rebellion against the hardship she endured. She never imagined death would come for her so soon. One moment, she was running-escaping the violence of another clash between the rebels and the soldiers. The next, she was falling, her vision consumed by darkness. And then... light. But the world she awoke to was not her own. ---
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?
