Finding peace in the middle of the chaotic city of Manila.
Matapos ang tatlong taong pananatili rito para sa pag-aaral, I've come to realize how big of a trap this place is. But then, I stayed...for its people, I stayed. I dreamed and hoped for my dreams to come true. However, as I dream in the middle of all this chaos, I have to wake up. Yet, waking up means ending this dream--my dream.
Would you choose to wake up if what you thought was a dream is slowly becoming your biggest nightmare?

Beginnings Beyond Comfort (Erudite Series #4)
Dreams begin and end in school, that's what Diwata Yvon Mahalina, a student from UP Manila, thought. Because for her, after school, you must be aiming for stability. Nothing can compare to a safe life. However, Ignacio Trillano, a guy who lived in Blumentritt and studied at FEU, disagrees. A quiet life like Diwata's dream was not fulfilling and meaningful, Ignacio argues. Ignacio was a ComArts student who was loud as an airplane flying away. Would Ignacio's words and actions be enough to encourage Diwata to begin a life beyond her comfort?Concluida
