"Kayanin mo," bulong niya. "Kayanin mo."
Dalawang salita.
Dalawang salitang lagi niyang inuulit-ulit tuwing iiwan ako.

Regrets.
That was all CC gained in her 26 years of existence; spending half of it pining for a guy who could never love her back, for example.
Travis was her first love; smart, athletic, quiet. And her Kuya's best friend.
It was just; a crush. Until the consequences of one wild night threw them both into a marriage no one wanted. No one but her.
Four years of forced proximity didn't do anything to make him love her. Baka nga naman hindi talaga sila itinakda para sa isa't-isa. Pero nang nagdesisyon siyang umalis, hindi inaasahan ni CC na hindi lang pala ang asawa niya iiwan niya.
Sa tulong ng isang diyosa, nabigyan siya ng chance para maitama ang lahat ng mali sa kaniyang nakaraan.
With nothing but the goddess' blessing and a 500-peso bill in her pocket, CC was sent back in time in an alternate reality kung saan ang limandaan ay katumbas ng kalahating milyon. She was fed up with being poor. With being ridiculed because of her humble origins. And in this new world, CC had only one mission: get filthy, disgustingly rich.
Para sa ekonomiya, banned ang love life.
Kaso, paano kung kailan todo-iwas siya at saka biglang umali-aligid ang ex na gusto na niyang kalimutan?
And did Travis just got hotter than she remembered or what?

Ayon kay Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher, be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you-na siyang isinasabuhay ko.
I only have my mother and my two friends, Charlynn and Reisha. My mother works for Charlynn's family. We are not really poor and definitely we're also not rich but we're living comfortably. Nevertheless, I am contented with my life.
But, after meeting the man that I like, I started to dream for more. I started to ask for more just to equal his riches even though I know for sure that it was impossible.
Life is meaningful. Full of life lessons, full of challenges, and battles that you need to surpass. Pero no'ng nawala sa akin si Mama, iyon ang hindi ko kinaya. Sinisi ko sa lahat ang pagkawala niya. Nagtanim ako ng galit sa pamilya na tinuturing kong pangalawa kong pamilya. And he was there, just accepting my wrath.
But, what if everything that I believed was all a lie? Paano kung lahat ng sinisi ko, maling tao? Would I be able to get to his life again? Or our memory will remain just like how we first met?
