"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.

Kung Saan Ako Payapa
(Luha at Liham Series #1) People have different preferences---like with seasons. Some prefer spring, when flowers bloom, when everything feels light and easy as we watch petals glisten under sunlight while walking down streets lined with gardens. Some prefer autumn, when fallen leaves blanket the ground still damp from the rain. Some prefer summer, where the scent of sea salt feels nostalgic, where sunsets remind us of those late afternoons spent on the nearest beach, watching how the sun kisses the water and the clouds shift their colors. And some prefer winter, where snowflakes drift from the sky, where people bundle up in thick clothes before stepping out into the cold breeze. For Annika, she couldn't choose which season she liked best. Galing na siya doon, paulit-ulit na. Mabigat na ang buhat niya sa likod na mga alaala mula sa nagdaang pagbago ng mga panahon at ihip ng hangin... Kaya siguro hindi na siya makapili. But if there was one thing she was certain of---it was that her soul was buried in nostalgia. Her heart was showered with both flowers and snowflakes, and her mind wandered through all the memories... back to where it all began. Back when she started to notice Julian, that everything turned upside down. What began as annoyance turned into a crush, then blossomed into love. And that love somehow grew---deeper, fiercer, until it became too much, slowly tearing them apart like a crumbling tower. Para sa pusong naguguluhan, para sa mga lubid na bumubuhol sa kanyang isipan---gumugulo at sadyang nakalilito, ay ang mga tanong. Saan siya pupunta, kung ang minsang kapayapaan na hatid ng pag-ibig na alam niya ay unti-unti nang nawawala? Hindi na tahimik, maingay na. Nananakit na, humahapdi, naninira. Saan siya tatakbo? Kung kahit saan siya lumingon---sa kanan man o kaliwa, hindi na payapa.

Bittersweet Hearts
Dear diary, It's 2009. Wordpress is in [Wattpad is not yet out]. Uso sa munting school namin ang magsulat. Sis lahat naging instant authors. Bilang takot akong maiwanan sa trend, why not join the fun, di ba? Pwede kong gawin online diary itong blog while jotting my memories down. Maybe this can also distract me from my problems... Which reminds me, ano pa nga ba ang isusulat ko dito? Syempre, my life which has been a total disaster lately. Eto yung sneak peak: 1. Major family & love life issues last summer 2. Moved to a new country/home 3. Moving to a new school in the middle of high school 4. Going *baliw* soon... Charing. Call me a drama queen pero swear, nakakabaliw. Kalurky talaga. Abangan niyo nalang yung full ganaps and join me in my misery. Btw, don't worry, may mga kilig parts din siguro. I think? Secret nalang muna kung siney itech na nagpapatibok ng puso ng lola niyo. Shet, grabe yung kilig ko. Pero secret muna mga sez. For now, ito muna masasabi ko. I'll update soon! xoxo, Andy [Author's note: Tara, sabay sabay tayong marindi, kilabutin at balikan ang nakaraan!! :) actually I'm bringing back this story I wrote wayback in high school for nostalgia's sake. Gusto ko din ipreserve yung original, kaya ireretain ko yung most parts, pati language (taglish). Pero grabe yung kilabot ko sa ibang parts, bakit ang corny natin nung high school... Patawad po in advance! Most importantly, enjoy, mga beh! x ]Complete
