Before it Sinks in

Moana Alona grew up asthmatic and weak but despite those, she had a heart of a warrior and a spirit of a fighter. Growing up, she was a very sheltered child and with the health problems that she had, having strict parents who constantly reminded her about her health issues was not fun at all. She basically spent her childhood in their lonely mansion. Although she was fully aware of the health complications she had, she wanted to explore what it meant to be free.

She envisions herself in the ocean, just moving like the waves-unrestricted and free. Just like what she wanted her life to be. So for the first time in her life, she did what she thought was impossible. She escaped, flew far away from her lavish yet lonely life, and eventually found herself on a little island she called her mini paradise. For the first time in her life, she felt like she was breathing freely-breathing to live-and not just breathing to survive. She fell in love with the place but just like every island love story, she also falls in love with a hot tan surfer who happens to be a local in the area. It was the little life she wanted.

Turns out, it's more than just a summer fling.
