Alaric Suarez doesn't believe in second chances-especially not in love. Gruff, guarded, and devoted to his daughter, he's built his life around engines, speed, and silence.
Emillienne Sy believes in chasing dreams, even when they don't make sense. Fresh out of university and full of wonder, she's looking for direction, and maybe a little magic along the way.
When fate throws them into the same orbit, sparks fly-some from frustration, others from something neither of them is ready to name. But life has a way of rerouting even the most stubborn hearts.
And in the spaces between oil stains and brushstrokes, they just might discover that love, like the road, is worth the risk.

Surprised, It Was Him!
"At first, there was an unknown guy who I thought I liked, but I then realized Charles was the one I really can not let go of. Am I really attached to him more than a friend?" - Belle - Belle thought she was just another busy student helping with school events, printing IDs, organizing tasks, managing chaos with her friends in the English Department. But everything changed the moment she bumped into a mysterious guy with a blue-and-grey hawk backpack. Since then, her eyes unconsciously searched for him everywhere. She built quiet hopes around that fleeting encounter, thinking maybe... just maybe, something romantic would bloom. But while her eyes wander through crowds searching for that mystery, someone else never leaves her side: Charles. He's loud, clingy, annoyingly flirty, always grinning, always there, and her best friend. But when unexpected emotions surface, Belle begins to question everything. As the days pass, Belle begins to wonder if her heart had been chasing the wrong thing all along. Because sometimes, the person you're truly drawn to isn't the one who made your heart skip once, but the one who's been catching you every time you fall.

See You Above The Clouds (Shared Sky Series 1)
[ongoing] For me, love is flying with broken wings, still hoping to catch someone you love above the clouds, even when they're beyond your reach. I am Valeen Eliesha I. Alcaraz, the kind of girl who doesn't wait around for life to hand me the things I want. It's not that I don't feel fear, rejection, or judgment. I do. But instead of letting them paralyze me, I let them fuel me. Giann Axel A. Fuerte, the boy who made love feel less like a war and more like coming home. With him, I felt seen, heard, and safe. He gave me the kind of attention I didn't know I was starving for. But life doesn't always stay soft for people who love too hard, does it? "Valeen, you have to stop this." Raven's words cracked a little. "Loving him was never going to be enough to give him a second chance.. at a life he never even wanted to fight for." Those words haunted me more than I'd like to admit. How will you fight a war when the person you're fighting for has already laid down their weapons? Ang sama ng tadhana para muling bigyan ng pagkakataon ang taong minahal ko, pero hindi ang pagkakataon para mahalin ako.

Connections: Stories
From a simple conversation happening between two Filipina astronauts, to an individual confessing his true feelings to the person he loves, to a failed missing person's investigation and the lover searching for his whereabouts in the Philippines, to a story about the woeful memories surrounding a rabbit plushie in the United Kingdom; a conversation happening between people at night with a campfire, about spirits and passion, in Norway; to a dying animal's thoughts about the person that saved it, to the letters given to the person that matters to one's life, to a man trapped in a cursed town and more. These 30 stories compiled in the months of August 2023 - February 2024, made in handwritten yellow pad papers and shared to the world for the first time shows that there are ways we find to connect with others through the stories we tell to one another. Stories dealing with the loss of a loved one, the horrors of reality, about the challenges faced in life, a longing for the person we loved, the laughter shared in-between, the hopes we treasure for tomorrow and beyond and of the little interactions that happen in life. It is through the attachments, love, support, consistency, determination and dreams do we find the will to push through and accomplish what needs to be done that is set out for us to tackle. Goals and art; sacrifices made and understood; and the belief that chasing the dream is all worth it and that it helps us connect and inspire us to do what matters the most.
