IN 90'S YEARBOOK SERIES 1 Why do our dreams so often feel like distant stars, as if just beyond reach? Why must we wrestle so fiercely, bleeding through wounds of doubt and stumbling beneath shadows, just to claim the right to call them our own? Must relentless struggle be the price we pay for fulfillment, as if the path to our dreams is carved only through pain and sacrifice? In the words of Yves Magdalene Aquino, even the deepest hardships cannot be measured against the pursuit of her dreams. No measure of suffering, no storm of sweat, blood, or tears has ever sufficed to compensate for the relentless efforts she invests simply to support her own needs and to ease the burdens carried by her parents. For her, no amount of effort ever feels enough. Yet, despite tireless effort, Yves feels the poignant ache of insufficiency. No amount of sacrifice seems to grant peace to her mother's weary heart or to lay rest upon her father's tired shoulders. In her heart, she wrestles with a haunting question: Is she truly deserving of these dreams, or are they forever just out of reach? Even to him, she once believed she could firmly hold on. . . the one who made reality blur with dreams, who pulled doubt away like a gentle tide withdrawing from shore.

And she wished she'd never wake up. That she;d'd never face the reality. . . that the freedom to dream anew, beyond all she had imagined. . . beyond the fragile longing for what once was.

There are two things Luningning Hope Solano can't give up: her favorite steamed egg and her impossible, toxic relationship with writing. After years of repeatedly unfinished drafts on her laptop, kasama na roon ang pag-iyak sa ilalim ng kaniyang kumot, Ningning finally gave an ultimatum to herself. Write one last book or forget her undying dream. Isa na lang. Kapag hindi niya pa natapos 'to, she'll kiss writing goodbye and move on. Maybe she'll go to law school. Or... open a sari-sari store. Basta not writing. Ever again. But how do you write such a freaking story when your brain is empty, sometimes scrambled, and your leads all sound like dry toast? Plain na nga, wala pang personality. She is indeed hopeless, as deemed by herself. Dahil kahit anong kalikot niya sa utak, she can't find any inspiration.

It's all for her book. But why is it every time she sees him smile, toss, serve, and spike the ball, all she can think about is writing a slow-burn romance where he and she are the leads? Good lawd.
