Lumaking bihasa sa iba't-ibang talento, 'yan ang babaeng si Riegan Domino Ancieta. She ventured into diverse fields, earning her the title of a "Jack of all trades" due to her innate knowledge and natural talents, be it in dancing, singing, drawing, and most notably, in sports.
But the people who should have been proud of her as a great athlete were the ones who brought her down. Ang sarili niyang dugo't laman, ang sarili niyang pamilya. However, that was not enough to discourage her from playing the sports she loved. Instead, it became her inspiration to continue striving and persevering to succeed in her games and attain the coveted medal.
She stumbled many times, but her head remained held high in defiance of the watching eyes. But, with every smile she gave, it only revealed the burden she was concealing in her heart.
White crayon.
That's what she called herself. Just like a white crayon, she considered herself as having little to no value.
Until she met a fellow athlete, the complete opposite of what she usually faced, someone who consistently excelled in any competition he entered. The man who pursued a degree in Architecture, Krym Wyenona Mc Chiavellan, renowned for his "grand slam" achievements in the sport of Archery.
The paths of these two individuals, with vastly different life experiences and backgrounds, would eventually cross. They came from different races and held differing perspectives on life, but in the end, they would unite.
Subalit sa kani-kanilang mga larong pinapanalo, ang tadhana naman ang gumawa ng paraan para paglaruan ang kanilang nabuong ugnayan.
Beyond Series #1
When you're in love, you could be the most stupid person you could ever be.
Wrong feels right. Black looks white. Smiles over cries. To be in pain means to be vain. Toleration seems like an obligation. All for love.
Kung may isang taong magpapatunay nito, siya na ang pinaka-kwalipikado: Dana Pineda, a fine arts student, talented painter and certified love-sucker.
Almost four years of relationship and counting, envisioned future together, first love and first and everything--reasons engraved in Dana's mind that serve as a constant reminder as to why she should keep the toxic relationship with her long-time boyfriend, Jared.
Para kay Dana, kung hindi si Jared, wala ng ibang tatanggap at magmamahal sa kaniya. Ito na ang kaniyang magiging una't huli at wala ng iba pa. For her, she's just an unattractive, insecure, and less worthy woman oozing with flaws, issues, and emotional baggage. Wala namang ibang lalaki pa ang gugustuhin ang isang babaeng gaya niya. There's no one else for her.
Or so she thought.
Her life's greatest plot twist is about to happen, when Javi Aragonza, the popular basketball team captain, barged in without knocking.
