At a very young age, Leng witnessed how her family fell apart. Until her grandfather, Tatay Gido, chose to be her sole guardian.
She then grew up with just her Tatay Gido and was perfectly fine with the small world she had. Her classmates were her buddies, the neighbors were always on her side, and her grandpa? He was her home.
But when they moved to her Lolo's old hometown, everything started to feel different.
That's where she met Melay, the quiet girl from the middle of rice fields; Roi, who seemed snobbish at first but just needed a friend; and Jepoy, their super talkative neighbor who somehow made them all laugh.
Little by little, Leng realized that growing up isn't always pretty-but it's full of moments that stick with you. New friends, small adventures, heartbreak, healing, and songs that say the words you can't.
They stumbled, they laughed, they got lost...
But still-they grew.
We Grew, Anyway.

FROM FRIENDS TO LOVERS (AND BEYOND)
There are moments in life so small, so ordinary, that you barely notice when everything changes. A glance held a little too long. A laugh that feels different in your chest. A touch that lingers. She became my best friend, my constant. Late-night calls, endless adventures, secrets whispered into the dark. It was always easy with her, natural. Safe. But somewhere between laughter and promises, something shifted. I didn't know it at first-not really. I just knew that when she smiled, it felt like the sun had chosen me. That when she cried, it hurt more than my own heartbreaks. That when she was near, the world made a little more sense. This is the story of how we found each other-not as we were, but as we were meant to be. From friends, to lovers, and somewhere even deeper than that. Because sometimes, the greatest love stories start with a simple truth: it was always you.
