When The Weather Is Nice, Let's Meet Again (El Diva Series #1)
How would you face the world after having experienced a tragedy that has paralyzed your whole system? Maybe for some people, they will choose to hide. Choose to cry about it all day and night. Choose to run. They will choose to refuse the reality that has been served in front of them. But for Channel? Life is too precious to waste time on something that won't help you grow and move forward, especially if she had been given a second chance to live her life, even if that meant she had to face life, carrying the memories that happened 'that night.' For a girl who didn't wish for anything but to live when she was facing a life and death situation? She couldn't ask for more. But, what if destiny is also like the weather? Unpredictable.

Nerd Noon Dyosa Ngayon (PUBLISHED)
HIGHEST RANK ACHIEVED: #2 in TEEN FICTION!!✨ COMPLETED and PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM!! ❤️ I know some of you might say that the title says it all. But let me tell you that this story is beyond of what you think. This story is not the typical nerd story that u know. This is different. Thank you!! Respect. NERD noon DYOSA ngayon By: Alysa Viernes Atleast, kahit hindi totoo, napaniwala niya ako na hindi basehan ang itsura sa pagmamahal. Walang pangit, walang maganda. Walang matalino, walang mayaman. But it hurts to think that that was all just fantasies. All of those were just written on books at nasa mga movies lang. Life is reality. And there's always a trick behind every magic. Ipinapangako ko, babalik ako sa Pilipinas ng malakas at walang inu-urungan. Many people might say that revenge is for the people who can't move on---no. Revenge is for letting them taste their own medicine. Not being evil, just being fair. I'm not a bad person. I'm a damaged one. A severely heart broken damaged person who was hurt by the man of my dreams... "Sa panahon ngayon, maraming imposible na ang nangyayari. Kagaya nalang nang pagbabago ng isang pangit na naging dyosa. Pero ngayon na moderno na ang panahon, marami parin na nangyayaring tradisyon gaya ng 'arrange marriage'. Paano magiging dahilan ito sa buhay nang ating mga bida? Sa kabila ng mga mabibigat at mahihirap na suliranin, magiging happy kaya ang ending?" Alysa Sanchez Viernes ©All rights reserved 2016 This is a fictional story. This is an original and not a copy.
