Balikbayan boxes have long been a symbol of giving practiced by overseas Filipino workers to their families and even friends. This has been a tradition withstanding time from different generations. As Filipinos, we uphold the idea and belief of being family-oriented and sharing. We are a collectivist culture. Manifestation of it is shown in one way through balikbayan boxes.
Yet, with a culture transcending generations, have we taken the time to value the essence of what giving is, or have we boxed ourselves in our own individualistic notions?

Ohh, Baby Baby!
Beauty. That's the standard you grew up with. Lahat ng nakikita mo sa social media only talks about beauty that you ended up believing that's all there is to life. Beauty. Perfect body. Kahit pa ang sarili mong magulang ang nagsasabi na sayong hindi. You still think no one's gonna love you if you're fat and ugly until he came. Until an unexpected guy came in. How will his unbothered behavior affect you and what you believe in? Handa ka bang ibukas ang magulong mundo ng pamilya mo para sa kanya? Will you be able to believe that love is no standard and beauty?Concluida
1890s FLAME of HEART (ALAB NG PUSO) BOOK 2
A fictionalized work based on the accounts of people in the turn of the Century. The Stories inspired World history, Colonial Globalization, Culture, National history and a little bit of Love Story. And of course, the role of Family and Community in the Society. I've sprinkled a dash of faith and belief because it is one of the major Foundations of our culture. WE HAVE OUR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTH AS A COMMUNITY AND AS A PERSON. IT COMES OUT IN TIMES OF CRISIS, WE FACE DISASTER WITH A SMILE, RESPECT OF ELDERS IS CLEAR BY WORD OF 'PO' & 'OPO' AND MOST OF ALL COLONIZERS CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY THE BEST PART OF OUR CULTURE... THE BAYANIHAN.Concluida
Ranup Lampuan (EN)
Ranup Lampuan (RL) "When fate and tradition clash, must one choose between love and honor?" A promising college student from Aceh finds himself trapped in the grip of family duty when his father arranges his marriage to Nabila-a passionate and principled instructor of the Ranup Lampuan dance. Though they barely know each other, their union is set, meant to strengthen the bond between two families. But on the day of their wedding, he makes an unthinkable choice-he runs. Honor is shattered, and Nabila, wounded and humiliated, flees to Kuala Lumpur, seeking to erase the past. Yet fate is not so easily escaped. In a foreign land, their paths cross once more-but as strangers. Without recognizing each other, they are drawn together, bound by wounds that have yet to heal. Slowly, between distance and unexpected encounters, emotions begin to resurface-feelings they cannot ignore, despite the looming weight of tradition and family expectations. But love is not their only battle. Secrets of the past, unspoken regrets, and the burden of honor stand between them. Will they rewrite their destiny, or will history repeat itself once more? "Ranup Lampuan" is more than a love story-it is a journey of family, honor, and the courage to defy fate, wrapped in the rich cultural heritage of the Malay world.Concluida

The Crocodile God
If a god loses his community, his rituals, and most records of his existence, what is left of him to call divine? On a windy beach in California, Mirasol finds a shipwrecked man and takes him to the hospital. With no phone, no ID, and barely any clothes after the sea got done with him, the most information they can get is that his name is Haik, and for lack of better options, he's discharged to Mirasol's place. Dark-skinned, covered in tattoos, and hailing from Australia, Haik is not the typical Filipino. He tells her stories of the Tagalogs' far past, a foreign and unknown country--and soon finds out that he is Haik the sea-god, constantly searching for his mortal wife, and they are both stuck in a loop of reincarnation after their whale-goddess daughter was stillborn. Unfortunately, she also finds out that he's an undocumented immigrant.Concluida
Lucky!
Quote Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect. Now where to begin? I'm Enid Lloyd. I have a sister and two loving parents, note my sarcasm. My parents never showed any care or love my way. They were always addicted to Esme, my older sister. As usual, we took a trip to our hometown, London for the winter. I didn't expect it to turn out like that. Really, I didn't expect it!

Love Geometry - Camilo x Reader x Mirabel [COMPLETE]
"You... saved my life." Tiles lunge me forward and I put my hands out to brace myself. My hand ends up on the handle and the door explodes with light. ------------------------------------ I got telekinesis the night of Mirabel's ceremony. ------------------------------------ I open both the notes. I scan them over, taking a bit longer to read Mirabel's cursive than Camilo's messy handwriting. Both of them are professing their love for me. ------------------------------------ "I wish I coulda helped more." "Then have another vision!" ------------------------------------ "Happy new year! And happy sweet sixteen to our three sweet angels." -- "I get parties are a hassle, especially with so many people, but they treat us like one person." "This is bullshit. Let's go actually celebrate our birthdays." -- "Let's get fucked up!" ------------------------------------ "What the fuck happened last night?" ------------------------------------ "This is your fault! First you stole Mirabel's gift and now you're taking my perfect family off the rails!" "Maybe I'll just leave if I'm so terrible, then!" A crack goes down the center of the house. #497 encanto tag 1/26/22 #273 camilo tag 1/27/22 #361 disney tag 2/9/22 #28 casita tag 3/21/22Concluida
