we grew, anyway

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.

In All the Ways That Matter
"In all the ways that matter" is a soft, slow-burning coming-of-age story told through the eyes of Lia-a quiet, artistic girl who's always found comfort behind her sketchpad and in the stillness of her thoughts. Starting her college life in Manila, Lia steps into a world that's louder, more colorful, and far more uncertain than she's used to. But among the messy group hangouts, late-night jeep rides, and campus art exhibits, Lia finds herself caught in a quiet longing-for Caleb, her older brother's best friend. A longing she's hidden for years, sketched only in glances and unspoken wishes. As the story unfolds, Lia is drawn into moments that challenge her to grow: an unexpected friendship with a classmate who sees the world differently, an art competition that forces her to confront what she truly feels, and the quiet heartbreak of realizing some things-no matter how beautiful-aren't meant to be. In a season of music festivals, lingering gazes, and slowly letting go, Lia begins to understand that growing up isn't just about finding love-it's about finding the courage to choose yourself, especially when your heart wants to do otherwise. A gentle, atmospheric story about timing, quiet bravery, and the art of loving-in all the ways that matter.
