Cadenza Madrigal has always been second best-second in class, second to her parents' impossible expectations, second to everyone else. Meanwhile, Rifftan Adagio was the boy who never even made it to the list-the forgotten son of a congressman, always in the background, always out of reach. For Cadenza, life was a hunt for perfection; for Rifftan, it was a rebellion against sublimity.
But when their worlds collided, something shifted.
Yet love isn't always harmonious. Can two imperfect souls create a symphony out of staccatos?

Paint My Love
BINI AU Series - Book 3 It was just an infatuation, she thought. Pero para itong watercolor na dahan-dahang kinukulayan ang papel. And the last thing she knew, she could no longer save the paper.

Balot, Taho, Fishball, and the Things We Never Said
Some stories are whispered over streetlights and silence. Elise knew what it meant to be present but never chosen. Caleb knew what it meant to be needed, but never truly wanted. In the chaos of Quezon City, where voices drown in jeepney horns and life moves too fast to notice the quiet ones, two almost-invisible souls cross paths in the middle of a shift, over a tray of fries, and slowly inevitably begin to see what the rest of the world missed. Surrounded by broken friendships, heavy family baggage, and dreams put on pause, Elise and Caleb build something out of leftovers of glances, late-night taho, shared umbrella walks, and words unsaid. This is a love story for the ones who weren't seen, but stayed anyway. Who carried the weight without asking for praise. Who found, in each other, a place to rest. Because sometimes, home isn't a house. It's the one person who finally hears you, even in your quietest voice.Complete

Go Way Back
We all have our first. Our first walk, our first cry, our first laugh, and most especially, our very first heartbeat. Falling in love is easy. However, as everyone has stated, love is like a roller coaster ride. It has the power to instantly propel you to the heartbreaking lowest point or the most breathtaking heights. We are also going to go through our first heartbreak, which will teach us that no matter how much you love someone, the more you try to hold onto them, the more probable it is that they will escape your grasp. Is it true that genuine love never fades and always finds a way back, regardless of how much time has passed? Is it true that true love never fades and always finds a way back? Is it really true that the second time around, love is sweeter?Complete

The Daisy Effect
Essa Harmony Argana's senior year plan was supposed to be simple: survive algebra without crying, dodge her mom's daily TED Talks about straight A+ grades, and make sure her childhood best friend Raymar didn't blow up the TLE canteen. That was it. Clean. Manageable. Foolproof. Nowhere on that list: falling for a fourteen-year-old sophomore who kept ambushing her with daisies and handwritten letters that smelled faintly of cologne and trouble. Tyron Sanchez is a disaster for her GPA-a charming, relentless sophomore who seems to have made it his mission to prove that age is just a number. And then there's Raymar Bastian, who knows her better than she knows herself... and is starting to look at her like he's finally realized she's not just one of the guys. Now Essa has to choose between the safe, familiar heart she's always known, and the reckless, thrilling one that makes her forget every carefully laid plan. And if she's not careful, she might lose both her future and her oldest friend in the process.Complete
