Carefree, loud, parties - that's what life is for Ailee Tan. He lived for late nights and endless noise. Thrown into his mother's hometown, Bicol, his rowdy life screeches. The sole reason? Teaching him a lesson. Typical.
As he thought it couldn't get any worse, he literally crashes into Julio Rigel- their barrios' hard-working, and annoyingly principled farm boy. Ailee's exact words? His total opposite. Their first meeting? Chaotic. Getting along? You're kidding. There's no denying that they don't get along. Working in the sun and sweating is one thing. But working with Julio Rigel? Kill him.
They say hate is a strong word- but for Ailee and Julio? It came a little too easily. Ailee hated stillness. In a place that moved slower, he became used to the pace. Maybe, it's the province.
Maybe...it's someone.
"You know, my dad taught me one word from Bicol. Sabi niya, I should say this to the people who mean the most to me. Padaba Taka, Rigel."

She Who Was A He (Hacienda Series #1)
Bawat kirot ay may katumbas na paghihiganti. Yes, every pain demands a payback. That's the first thing I learned when I loved him. Not consciously, not right away-but slowly, in pieces. He taught me how to love. His love was wildfire-reckless, consuming, beautiful in the way it ruined everything. I thought I was lucky to have it. I thought he saw something in me. Maybe he did. Maybe he saw the parts that were already breaking. He taught me how to bend the rules, how to silence the voice in my head that said "this isn't right." With him, right and wrong blurred until they didn't matter. Until all that mattered was staying close enough not to lose him, but distant enough not to drown. And then came pain. He taught me pain in a thousand unspoken ways. In words that stung more than silence. In apologies that came too late. In touches that lingered with regret. And pain... And pain. Again and again No fairy tale. No forever. It was never about soulmates. It was just... a story. A complicated, messy, painful story. But still, I gambled. I bet my heart on something that didn't deserve it. And in the end, that so-called love? It destroyed me. It didn't just break me-it broke everything I cared about. Everyone I loved. It burned through every soft thing I had left inside me. Because that love... Was disastrous. Behind the illusion of love hid everything I was afraid of: pain, betrayal, lies, manipulation. A heartbreak wrapped in promises. A knife dressed like a kiss. But here's what no one tells you: after heartbreak comes something sharper. Stronger. Revenge. And revenge-it's not sweet. It's not cold. It's best served hot. The kind of heat that doesn't ask for closure. It takes it. I, who was a he, now turned into a she. I will serve pain out of pain. Not to mirror the cruelty, but to remind the world: You don't get to hurt someone like me and walk away unburned.Complete![Forbidden [ Completed ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/234760831-256-k331336.jpg)
Forbidden [ Completed ]
"Realization comes when you are alone in your room" They said, "actions speak louder than words" but the truth is, there are really actions that can't be acted and words that can't be mouthed because of a certain situation. We know ourselves exactly better than anyone else but are sometimes in denial because of fear of rejections. Loving someone means committing to them; we have to love their flaws, especially their past. We can't love a person just because of their good side because we also have to deal with their dark phase. I was there in your darkest but also is the reason why you were there. What if because I was waiting for the right time to come, I ran out of so many chances? How will I then fight my chance on a person that I know I long loved?Complete
Alora Leventis: Lady Master (REINCARNATION)
"What will you do if you only have one chance and one life left to live?" Reincarnation is believed to occur when a person dies, and they are reborn in a different body to live a different life. Tana was just 24 years old when she met her end. Her life wasn't, and never was, filled with flowers and roses, so she didn't feel a slight hint of regret. And when she woke up, she found herself in a place called the Eternal Realm, where souls go to cleanse and reincarnate. However, an incident occurred, and she accidentally brought an Eternal Keeper with her into the mortal world, putting her dear life in danger. In order to prolong her life, they must find a way to stop it and make her one remaining chance at life in the world a little more worthwhile. However... "St-stop! Hindi mo ako pwedeng mahalin.." He grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving. "I won't stop, and that's not for you to decide." his voice cracked. "I love you, Alora. Mahal na mahal na hindi ko kayang huminga pag wala ka, I'm not gonna let you go." His face was filled with pleading desperation. "Please, just stop! This is wrong! In the first place, I shouldn't have met you!" Her words were different, but her tear-streaked face told a different story. "Why..." "Do you really want to know why?!" She rubbed her face in frustration. He didn't answer, just stared at her. "B-because I'm dying... I'm going to die, Lucian... that's why..."
The Story Of Us
Alam naman natin na ngayon ay sobrang uso na mga same sex relationships so sabi ko sa sarili ko, "why not make a story na tungkol naman about sa issue..?" Actually, this is a little bit a story of me. Some parts ive experienced and other parts were fiction. Ito ay istorya nang isang kakaibang love story. A boy-girl love story is too mainstream and i think kailangan naman mabigyan ng break ang mga ganitong istorya. Inspired by my own heartbreaks, that's when i decided to write this story. Para to sa mga hopeless romantic, para sa mga broken-hearted, para sa mga naghahanap ng true love. Para sa mga nagtatago at di maipagsigawan ang kanilang nararamdaman dahil mali ito sa paningin ng ibang tao. Para sa mga pogay, that's my tomboy, mga bisexuals na naniniwala na may pag-ibig rin na darating para sa kanila. And it's called Untitled: Same Love (for now.. wala pa kasi akong maisip na title e..) Sa nagbabasa nito, sana magustuhan mo :) Dahil para sa'yo to.Complete

Lost in the Province's Fields
Kieren-gorgeous, rich, and completely reckless. As QC's most admired pretty boy, his life revolves around late-night parties, designer outfits, and breaking hearts without a second thought. But when his parents have had enough of his wild lifestyle, they send him to Pampanga to live with his grandmother-a punishment disguised as a "lesson." Stuck in a sleepy town with no clubs, no luxury, and no admirers hanging on his every word, Kieren is ready to count the days until he can return to Manila. That is, until he meets Maddox-his grandma's next-door neighbor. Tall, rugged, and frustratingly handsome, Maddox is the kind of guy who can fix things with his bare hands, the kind of guy who keeps to himself, not easily impressed, and unfazed by Kieren's usual antics. Instead, he helps Kieren to try new things, explore new places, and maybe even discover a new way of life. Will Kieren survive the slow, quiet days of the province? Will he run back to the city the first chance he gets? Or maybe-just maybe-will he find something or someone worth staying for?
