Alab Series #1


Kundiman is a traditional Filipino love song that can be seen and felt in many ways, like romantic. . .but not as romantic as Maxine Cojuangco's view of love, as well as expressive but not as expressive as her. Kundiman, on the other hand, can be thought of as passionate, much like Yozef Flavier, and can also be soulful, as what he will feel for Maxine.


The woman, grew up in a toxic household. Lumaki ito sa nakalalason na tahanan, at dahil doon nagbago ang kanyang pananaw sa maraming bagay, na bakit ang simple at normal na mga bagay ay komplikado para sakanya, na kung sakanya ay normal lang bakit para naman sa iba ay hindi. Just like how you'll describe kundiman in some times, it feels melancholic. Yozef on the other side grew up in a toxic home, just like Maxine. Somehow, Yozef have his own perspective, different from hers. But the moment he sensed a connection between them after the phone incident, he wanted to know more about her. Even they have their own different ways.



Until it became heartfelt. However, can it also be timeless? Mananatili ba ito at siguradong hindi kukupas? Just like how heartfelt and timeless, Kundiman is.

22 parts Ongoing
Althea Tala Fernandez has always lived life on her own terms-wild parties, late-night drives, and endless freedom in the heart of Manila. BGC was her playground, and rules were meant to be broken. But when her rebellious streak finally pushes her parents too far, she's sent away to the one place she swore she'd never step foot in-her grandmother's house in the quiet, sleepy province of Aurora. For Althea, it's a nightmare. No nightlife, no luxury, no friends-just endless rice fields, slow afternoons, and a town where everyone knows everyone. But things take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with John Ethan del Rosario-the ever-smiling, ever-reliable son of the barangay captain. Ethan is everything she isn't-calm, responsible, and deeply rooted in the simple life she can't stand. At first, she finds him annoying, always teasing her, always getting under her skin. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that his easygoing smile hides something deeper... something she's curious to uncover. As the days pass, Althea starts to question everything she thought she wanted. Because maybe-just maybe-this little town, this boy, and this unfamiliar life aren't so bad after all. But can a girl like her truly belong in a place like this? Or is she just passing through, destined to leave and never look back? A story about love, self-discovery, and the unexpected magic of second chances-welcome to Aurora, where even the most lost hearts can find their way home.
The Art of Falling for You by totoberry
27 parts Ongoing
"love story" we all have heard this term many times in our lives but there are 80% people who are stuck in an one sided love or have never experienced a true love. Riya was just thirteen when she first saw Aarav at their school, a boy with an easy smile and eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. For her, it wasn't just a crush-it was a dream, a promise, a story she believed was meant to be. She admired him from afar, cherishing every fleeting moment they shared in the same classroom, from his laughter echoing in the hallways to the way he brushed his hair off his forehead when deep in thought. As the years passed, Riya's feelings for Aarav only deepened. She would write his name in the margins of her notebooks, replay their brief conversations in her mind, and imagine a life where he might one day see her the way she saw him. But life, as it often does, had other plans. Aarav was kind, charming, and friendly, but to him, Riya was just another classmate. He was oblivious to the love that quietly bloomed in her heart, too engrossed in his own ambitions and the fleeting teenage romances that never seemed to last. As they grew older, Riya's unspoken love became a bittersweet companion. She watched from the sidelines as Aarav dated other girls, confided his dreams to friends, and pursued a world she felt too afraid to enter. Though her heart ached, Riya found solace in the idea that love could exist even if it wasn't returned. But fate has a curious way of testing hearts. "A Glimpse of Forever" is a poignant tale of longing, self-discovery, and the complexities of love that refuses to fade, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones we write for ourselves.
His Serendipity by _LIREAL_
73 parts Ongoing Mature
She was a woman of grace and strength, deeply anchored in her faith and values. Her beauty wasn't in her appearance but in her devotion, her modesty a crown she wore with pride. She had preserved herself for a love that was true and lasting, one that would be earned by the right man. He was a man who craved fleeting pleasures, using charm and wealth to captivate women, never staying long enough for anyone to truly know him. Beneath the surface, he was consumed by a loneliness he couldn't escape, seeking fulfillment in empty distractions. Then she entered his life. From the moment he saw her pray, something inside him shifted. He had never seen devotion like hers, a quiet strength that radiated peace and certainty. Her faith, her sincerity, disarmed him in a way nothing else had. For the first time, he felt something deeper than desire-a longing for something real, something beyond the fleeting. Her presence, her example, made him question everything. She didn't try to change him; her actions spoke louder than words. Through her, he began to see the emptiness of the life he had been living and the possibility of a love that was pure, unwavering, and eternal. He wasn't drawn to her out of desire, but a deep yearning for redemption, for meaning. She didn't need him, yet her mere existence made him want to be better. In her, he found a love that could heal the restlessness in his soul, and through her, he discovered that true peace and fulfillment could only come from a love greater than the temporary-an unshakeable love, grounded in faith.
