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.Complete

Pills & Cigarettes
Ampersand Series #1 Louzelle Kaye Silvestre, pure and dignified as others described. At her young age, figure skating became her life; the cold rink embodied her home and natural habitat. She fits inside just perfectly, like a snow goddess yet her demeanour is filled with warmth and comfort. Making her approachable and likeable by the most. Unbeknownst to them, Louzelle is filled with paternalistic lies. Judging what's the best for others rather than revealing the whole truth, that even herself wasn't an exception. Not until Krelian Saldavia, a college-junior student of BS Civil Engineering from Danville University sees through her.

And Louzelle doesn't like that, by all means Krelian must hate her the same way she does. But what are the chances that it will lead from hidden scoffs, unspoken snarks, and noticeable disapproval to stealing glances, slight quirking of lips, and comfortable silence between the two of them? And what makes Louzelle fight against the odds for a person that makes her ill and addicted at the same time?

I Didn't Expect (Fall Duology #1)
FALL DUOLOGY #1 Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta College was supposed to be another peaceful chapter for Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta. Yung tipong gaya ng elementary, junior high, at senior high niya: puro aral, bonding with friends, gala, at memories na iiyakan sa graduation. Simple and predictable. Pero biglang may papasok na bagong category sa buhay niya: love. After years of thinking "bata pa ako para magkacrush," Reiv finds herself falling hard for someone. Ang problema? Yung taong gusto niya, may ibang gusto. Wala siyang ibang pinansin kundi ito... pero ang crush niya, wala ring ibang tiningnan kundi ang taong hindi siya. So what will she do? Will she do everything just to be seen, or let fate decide what's meant for her? If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, then maybe it never was. In the middle of unreciprocated feelings, tahimik na kilig, at mga tanong kung "susuko ba o lalaban pa?" Reiv starts to see herself in the stories she used to only watch from afar. Minsan, habang iniintindi natin ang kilos ng ibang tao, hindi natin namamalayan... tayo rin pala, may sarili nang kwento na unti-unting nabubuo. What if ganoon si Reiv? What if the ending she never expected... was the one written for her all along?
