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."

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
Loving A Her (Intersex) Completed
I never imagined myself liking someone the same as me, let alone falling in love with them. // "Sinabi ko na sa'yo, hindi kita mahal." "No. You love me! I know it!" "Pa'no mo naman nasabi yan?" "Because you're protecting me!" "Trabaho ko 'yun." "Then I'll fire you!" "Nanay mo ang boss ko. Hind- " "Mom!" Suddenly, we heard footsteps coming towards the garden where we're currently in. "Yes honey?" She emerged from the sliding door. "Mom, fire her." She looked at me first before glancing at the person who's forehead are now creased. Then mom reverted her eyes back at me again and nonchalantly blurted out the answer. "Ok. August, you're fired." Then she left. I reverted my eyes back at the person I'm inlove with who has the most funny yet adorable creased forehead with a triumph smile. "Now, you're mine." Started: 3/17/21 Ended: 8/2/21Complete
Into Her

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?
