Laging second place. Laging almost. Isang campus journalist at achiever na sanay sa mga papuri-pero hindi sa pagkilala. Sa dami ng awards na muntik na niyang makuha, parang kailan ba siya magiging sapat para mapansin at hindi maging muntikan lang?
Hanggang sa dumating sa buhay niya si Alessandro Joaquin Reyes-isang architecture student na tila kabisado ang lahat ng gusto niya, kahit siya mismo ay hindi sigurado. Sa tulong niya, unti-unti niyang natutuklasan hindi lang kung sino siya sa likod ng mga accomplishments, kundi kung sino talaga ang gusto niyang maging.
Makilala rin kaya natin siya?
Sa mundong puro "almost," may chance ba siyang maging "enough"?

"Magandang gabi. Marami po sa inyo ang tiyak na magtataka kung sino ako. Hindi po ako si John Lloyd. Lalung hindi po ako si Robert Downey Junior. Ako po ay isang hamak na janitor lamang sa paaralang ito. Kaibigan ko po ang mga tracing paper na lukut lukot at nakikipagtaguang mga masking tapes sa lamesa. Pero masasabi ko pong napakasaya ko at dito ako napunta sa paaralang ito. Maliban sa mga naggagandahan babae na nagmagandang loob pang mag suot ng damit, mababait kong katrabaho na nililibre ako ng kape araw araw at matinding umingles na mga tao ay sadyang napakamasiyahin po ng mga estudyante rito. Sa tingin ko po ay nasisiyahan sila talaga sa pamamalakad ng eskwelahan. Tanong ko lamang po sa inyo ginoong Lennart, masaya po ba kayo rito?" Tanong ko sa estudyanteng nanalo sa World Architecture Institute First Competition. Itong binatang ito ay kakatransfer lang daw dito sabi nila pero hindi sya tulad ng mga karaniwang mag-aaral. Tila hindi sya nageenjoy. Naalala ko pa, tatlong buwan pa lang ang nakakalipas...Concluida
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?

The Longest Eight Minutes Of My Life
"The Longest 8 Minutes of My Life" Sa isang campus kung saan bawat ngiti ay may tinatagong lungkot, dalawang kaluluwang halos mabuwag ng sariling bigat ng mundo ang nagtagpo - hindi sa gitna ng saya, kundi sa pagitan ng tahimik na mga sulyap at mabibigat na buntong-hininga. Elara Mendez, a soft-spoken soul hiding invisible bruises, and Cassiel Reyes, the golden boy everyone admires but never truly knows - confident, composed, yet secretly drowning under the pressure of being enough. One night, in a world too noisy to notice broken things, they found each other. Not through grand confessions, not through promises- but through presence. A friend once said: "Every human being needs at least 8 minutes of another friends presence to make someone feel a little less alone in your darkest moments." In late-night conversations, silent glances across crowded rooms, whispered laughter under fading streetlights - eight minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into memories. Memories turned into a bond neither dared to name. But some moments are borrowed. Some battles are fought in silence. And some promises, no matter how deeply meant, are broken not by choice - but by life itself. This is a story about survival. About being seen when you least expect it. About the kind of love that doesn't promise forever, but promises to stay - even when the world falls apart. In a world that moves too fast, will eight minutes be enough?
