One mistake. One consequence. One summer that will change everything
ETHAN GAYLE LAURET never thought his life would take a sudden detour away from the glitz of Manila and into the slow, uneventful countryside. Isang maling desisyon lang, at ngayon, pinapadala siya sa probinsya bilang parusa. No parties, no fast cars, no luxury ,just endless rice fields, early curfews, and a life he never wanted. But what he didn't expect was to meet someone who could make his so-called punishment a little more... complicated.
ZEPHANIE KAYE CORTEZ has always loved her peaceful life in the province. Simple, predictable, and drama-free exactly how she likes it. Pero nagulo ang lahat nang dumating ang mayabang, pasaway, at spoiled na apo nina Lolo Ben at Lola Sita. From the moment their paths crossed, she knew he was trouble. And yet, for some reason, destiny kept pulling them together.
A boy who wants to escape. A girl who wants to be left alone.
But what if fate has other plans?
Sometimes, the place you least want to be in is exactly where you're meant to be.

La Mémoire de Lune
Memories of the Moon. Perhaps it was the inexplicable exhilaration momentarily caused her to zone out or, quite possibly, the hunger she felt that made her solely focus on the shawarma kiosk. Completely unaware of her surroundings, Hope failed to notice a man heading straight her way and he showed no sign of slowing down in his fast pace. A man sprinted off when he saw the time, the event was about to start and he promised his bandmates they'd meet up a few minutes before it did. He only wanted to grab a bite, was that so wrong? As he rushed through the crowd, he mentally prepared himself to perform later on and so he failed to notice a particularly enchanting, albeit preoccupied, young woman that was in his way. The two acknowledged each other's presence too late, they had no time to stop and evade one another. The result? A collision. --- Meet Hope Wintour. She's someone who's very caring, compassionate, sweet, selfless, and full of life. She's someone who's always up to the challenge, even if it might end up breaking her. She's genuinely beautiful, inside and out. There always seems to be a smile on her face, no matter what. Although, the hundred million dollar question stands: is her smile the truth? --- Most Impressive Ranking: #1 on Contemporary #34 on WandererComplete

"Why are you angry?" I asked him. "It's not like we're a couple." He stopped, and stared at me, boring my eyes with his emerald eyes. "If we are..."

Picture Picture
For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete
Falling in Reverse (GxG, Lesbian)
"You're leaving now because you can't kill me! You don't have the guts because you're in love with me" I said in anger as I try to sit up. My whole body is so weak right now. She stopped from walking away to face me. There's no denying now that she and Violet are the same person. "Don't be so full of yourself Lieutenant. I'm leaving not because I can't kill you, I'm leaving because I definitely can" she said coldly before pulling the trigger of her gold pistol. I gasped in so much pain as my body fell down the floor. The person that I trust and fell in love with is the same person that I want dead. I gazed up to the ceiling as my tears started to fall before everything went blank.

The Expansion of the Universe {Completed}
"My name's Elijah, by the way. It's nice to meet you, window-girl." She liked that name: Elijah. "I doubt you're even listening, but, look, I'm not here to cause problems, you know? I'm just here to chat. It can get lonely when we segregate ourselves into our own little world. I mean, maybe you like it in there," he continued, as she stared at the door separating them, "but, in case you don't, I'd like to offer my company." Instead of panicking, Liza could only focus on four words he'd said. 'Our own little world.' How had he known? She was in her own little world, consisting of her, her dog, the condo, and now, maybe . . .? Her voice was barely a croak when she spoke to him for the first time. "I'm listening." *** A horribly tragedy left Liza Garner tucked inside her condo, the only safe place she knew, terrified of the outside world and the people within it. Especially men. A change in living brought Elijah Harris into a nice new neighborhood, and he'd never been afraid of knocking on others' doors and introducing himself. Especially if a pretty woman was on the other side. This is a story about mental health, the amazing impact certain individuals can have on one's personal journey, and how making progress-no matter how seemingly insignificant-is always impressive. *** PLEASE NOTE: Rated mature for language, topics, and detailed descriptions of gore.

"Between Smiles and Starlight"
Althea Tala Fernandez has always lived life on her own terms-wild parties, late-night drives, and endless freedom in the heart of Manila. BGC was her playground, and rules were meant to be broken. But when her rebellious streak finally pushes her parents too far, she's sent away to the one place she swore she'd never step foot in-her grandmother's house in the quiet, sleepy province of Aurora. For Althea, it's a nightmare. No nightlife, no luxury, no friends-just endless rice fields, slow afternoons, and a town where everyone knows everyone. But things take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with John Ethan del Rosario-the ever-smiling, ever-reliable son of the barangay captain. Ethan is everything she isn't-calm, responsible, and deeply rooted in the simple life she can't stand. At first, she finds him annoying, always teasing her, always getting under her skin. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that his easygoing smile hides something deeper... something she's curious to uncover. As the days pass, Althea starts to question everything she thought she wanted. Because maybe-just maybe-this little town, this boy, and this unfamiliar life aren't so bad after all. But can a girl like her truly belong in a place like this? Or is she just passing through, destined to leave and never look back? A story about love, self-discovery, and the unexpected magic of second chances-welcome to Aurora, where even the most lost hearts can find their way home.
