She had once met a handsome man and fallen in love, but it was at the wrong time. She was very young back then, and their love remained unfulfilled due to the wrong timing and circumstances.
Now that she's a grown woman, she has moved on and become a nonchalant and valued individual - an independent woman who couldn't care less about others' opinions, including her parents' commands. Although she's wealthy enough to care about her parents' wealth, Chanel doesn't let it dictate her life. Her love life was practically nonexistent, a zero, after having been hurt by her past experiences. She's had enough.
She's very fulfilled with her career, and she doesn't mind coming home to her extravagant condo alone. After all, she's happy being single and contented. She's certain she doesn't need any man in her life to feel complete and happy.
Or so she thought, until she met a man on the eve of her cousin's wedding. He was very serious and snobbish. The moment they met, she felt drawn to him and decided to take on the challenge of getting to know this mysterious guy.
However, her interest came crashing down when she discovered he was a probinsyano, someone from the province, living far from the city. She wondered if she could cope with a life in the province and decide to leave everything behind, including her lifestyle and career.
Change is constant, especially in her career and lifestyle, and adapting to a new environment is daunting. Now or never? Only time can tell....

Pansamantala [COMPLETED]
This is just a typical love story of two people who fall inlove with each other but the love they have has more consequences. She has a high standard when it comes to a man. He just love her even though he knew that the one he loved can't love him back. She's afraid of judgments. He's afraid of losing her. She's looking for a better one and that better one is not him. He's always willing to stay at her side even though he's hurting -looking to the one he loved loving another man. This is just a love story... Judgments versus Faith... Standards versus Devotion... Pride versus Love... Society versus Your feelings... Commitment versus Exhaustion... Are you willing to fight until the end? Are you willing to stay knowing that you'll only be her temporary?

TOTGA (Candy Stories #4) (Published under Flutter Fic)
Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more? *** May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam. Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit. Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana. Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga? Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish.Complete

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.
