"A love that was long gone, unvisited, unrequited, but never forgotten. A love so good, yet so old. An old love."
------
After graduating from senior high school, Yusra Ismael fled to London on a scholarship to pursue her college degree. Ten years later, she returns home to the Philippines, her memories of how it used to be have faded, replaced by how it is now in the present.
All it takes is an old yellow notebook with rusty pages, stained with dried ink from her writings - filled with nostalgia - and a faded photograph for her to revisit the past and wander back through the pages of yesterday.
Tucked between the pages are heart doodles in various styles, each secretly drawn, all bearing one name carved with care: Adam Shahid-her old love.
