"Hindi ko siya gusto noon. Kaibigan ko lang siya. Pero bakit siya ang paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa panaginip ko?"
He wasn't mine.
But in dreams, he always was.
Shania Amanda Lopez never expected her closest guy friend to be the one her heart quietly held onto. In real life, they were just friends - playful, familiar, with clear boundaries. But in her dreams, the rules disappeared.
They'd laugh. They'd run. They'd almost love.
And when she woke up, she'd pretend it meant nothing... even when the signs started appearing in real life. Matching shirts. Stolen glances. Strange songs. Volleyballs thrown just to get her attention.
He never said anything.
And neither did she.
This is a story of quiet heartbreak, unsaid feelings, and the boy who stayed - not in her life, but in the corners of her dreams.
Sometimes, the sweetest nightmare... is the one you never stop remembering.

Believing in Miracles [COMPLETE]
In the beginning she was alive, her soul bare for this man, loved him with every fiber of her being. She was willing to give up everything that she had for him and worked hard for the future they both hoped for each other; when he still existed. She loved him but did he ever feel the same way? He was loving, caring, and kind; everything a girl could ever wish for in a man. The words destructive and inhuman would've never crossed her mind to describe her husband; or was she so stupid to see it all from the very beginning? Every day she prayed to the man above that the love and attention she constantly gave him would be enough to change such characteristic; no, flaw. But it wasn't so. Every day was a battle, getting worse and worse; that one day she just snapped. ***STRONG PLOT AND LANGUAGE*** ***UPDATE*** To my great surprise, this story has been getting more reads than I ever thought possible. I reread what I wrote once again and tried not to cringe at the many errors and awful sentence structure I had. So in the spirit of Christmas I will try to edit and perfect this story. There wouldn't be changes in the plot, just hopefully a better way of sharing my thoughts. If it's still crap, then I apologize I'm only human :) ****Complete

Picture Picture
For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete

when Healing Found Her
In a world where love was supposed to last forever, Sereia Valdez learns that promises can break faster than hearts can mend. After losing the boy she once believed was her future, she is left with shattered pieces, silent tears, and a voice she barely recognizes as her own. But life has a strange way of healing what it breaks. Enter Elian Cruz - calm where she is chaos, gentle where the past was sharp. A boy who never rushed, never demanded, but showed up in quiet ways that felt louder than any love she once knew. With friends who joke even when she cries, who tell her, "Hoy, move on na! Hindi siya worth ng luha mo!", Sereia begins learning that moving on isn't forgetting - it's choosing herself again. Yet, just when she starts to breathe more softly, a shadow returns - Aries, the ex who once held her heart. He hears her cries she thought no one knew, sees her strength he once ignored, and faces a truth he never expected: She's changing. She's healing. And she might not come back. This is a story of heartbreak, slow healing, friendship, second chances, and a love that grows in the quiet moments - when no one is watching, but everything is changing
