Claire's life as a student in the University of the Philippines Los Banos was not the one she was used to--She had always been surrounded by the tall buildings and the bustling roads of Metro Manila. But it was never about what she wanted in the first place, it was what her father would've approved of. With this carved in her brain, her first semester as a freshman in the university lacked any form of enthusiasm; after all, she would be transferring to a campus in the city after a year. So what's the point of enjoying her temporary stay, right?
It even gets worse when she met Samuel, her classmate from her laboratory subjects. Maybe because he's smart, or tall, or tanned, or has a deep voice but she couldn't pin-point what it was about him that made his presence so provoking. Sometimes she would catch herself stuck in a reverie as she stares at his mysteriousness.
With her unhealthy fixation on him added to the list of those that made her university life miserable, she was more determined to get out of the place... or was she really?

Oddly Familiar
Some people feel like memories the first time you meet them. She knew better than to trust someone so soon - pero may kung anong sa kanya na parang matagal nang kilala. What began as a spontaneous decision turned into late-night conversations, shared silences, quiet stares, and a kind of intimacy neither of them expected - or fully understood. For her, it wasn't love. Not yet. But it felt like home. And maybe, that was even scarier. Just when things were beginning to make sense... two pink lines changed everything. "Buntis ako." In a world where love felt dangerous, marriage seemed like a trap, and the future was always uncertain, she's forced to make a choice: to face a truth she's not ready for, tell someone she's not sure she can trust, and carry a life she never planned. Is she ready to tell him - and risk breaking something she barely understands? Or stay silent, keep it, and face it all alone? Oddly Familiar is a story about moments that change us, people who arrive when we least expect them, and a kind of love that feels both terrifying and true. It's about growing up too soon, letting go too late, and finding courage in the most unexpected places. Because sometimes, the people we meet by accident are the ones who stay. And sometimes, we ride off with strangers who feel oddly... familiar.

Memoirs of a Suplada: A True Story
I decided to text Lestat one day since I don't see him much. I've been sending forwarded messages for weeks before he ever replied. I told him a different name when he asked who I was. Days passed & I came to the point of asking... Me: Bakit me mga taong ngumingiti-ngiti kahit di ka naman kilala? Hindi ko alam kung nangungutya, nang-aasar, o ano. Nakakainis. Lestat: Uy, may admirer. Maganda ka pala. Me: Hindi ah. Hindi ko yun kilala. Pala-asar lang siguro yun. Mayabang. Pwedeng sabihan na lang siya nang harap-harapan na nakakainis ang ginagawa niya? Lestat: Wag na. Kung gagawin mo yun, para ka na ring bumaba sa level niya. Me: Eh naiinis talaga ako sa pagmumukha niya eh. Kung titigilan niya lang sana ako. I was laughing while texting. Lestat: May pagnanasa lang yun sayo. Hehehe This part made me laugh out real loud. Little did he know it was him I was referring to all along!😆😆😆 Me: Posible kayang magkagusto ang isang tao pero di niya to sasabihin sa girl? Lestat: Siempre naman. Like me. Me: Bakit ganun? Nasa kanila na ang lahat ng pagkakataon at panahon pero bakit di nila sinasabi? Lestat: Depende. Me: Pero bakit nga? Lestat: Basta. Ganun na lang yun. Kahit di ko sinasabi, nafi-feel niya lang rin siguro. Me: Anong year na siya? Lestat: 3rd. Me: Anong course? Lestat: (He mentioned my course!) Me: School? Lestat: (He mentioned our school!) I couldn't ask anymore questions. I was outside the house having cold sweats, terrified that if I asked more questions and his answers wouldn't fit my profile, I'd be devastated. When I told Eunice about it, she replied: Ikaw na talaga yun. Hahaha This is a true story. I only changed the names to keep our identity hidden. This is our story that started back in college. If you know any of us based on this story, let's keep it a secret, shall we?Complete
