Anya living alone in a city that never sleeps, she's used to being her own home. Until Niko moves in next door, loud where she's quiet, persistent where she's distant, but patient in the ways she never knew she needed.
What begins as casual run-ins by the elevator turns into late-night coffee on her balcony, shared playlists, mismatched mugs, and bookstore visits that feel like dates, but aren't. Not officially.
The rain makes it easier to hide the weight of missing things you never had. But maybe this time, she won't have to hide. Maybe, for once, someone will stay when the skies clear.

Love, Lies and Loid's Daughter
Love, Lies and Loid's Daughter: Between missions and math class, romance was never part of the plan. Twelve-year-old Anya Forger had two goals: become an Imperial Scholar and win the heart of her elegant nemesis, Damian Desmond. Easy, right? Except she's a telepath with zero impulse control, he's emotionally constipated with a superiority complex, and both of them are being watched by their highly suspicious families and the occasional spy. Fast forward to age 18, and the chaos has only evolved. Eden College is still the battleground, but now it's filled with forced fake dates, truth-or-dare disasters, dramatic confessions under the stars, and spy missions that go completely off-script. Anya reads minds like subtitles on a broken TV, Damian's trying not to combust every time she smiles, and neither of them knows how to say what they really feel-until it might be too late. Then comes heartbreak. A betrayal. A death. And four years of grief, denial, and failed matchmaking attempts by well-meaning best friends. By age 22, Anya is engaged to the wrong guy, and Damian is dead. Everything seems blank... until a mind she accidentally reads on a distant island changes everything. This is a story of rivals turned soulmates, lies that hurt, love that heals, and the messiest path to happily-ever-after imaginable. Love, Lies, and Loid's Daughter is a chaotic rollercoaster of romance, telepathy, and the absolute disaster of growing up when you're part of the world's weirdest almost-couple.Complete

Stolen Moments(gxg)-intersex
The club wasn't where she imagined herself working, but it was the only place that would take her. The air was thick with smoke, and the neon lights did little to chase away the darkness inside. People came and went-some looking for trouble, others caught in things they shouldn't have been. She'd seen men dragged into the back rooms, beaten up for not paying in time or failing to do their part. And then there was her-the club owner. Cold, calculated, and feared by everyone who walked through the doors. She ran this place with a tight grip, and she didn't tolerate mistakes. No one dared to cross her, not without consequences. And yet, every time their eyes met, something shifted, an unsettling pull that she couldn't quite explain. She didn't know what it meant, or why it unsettled her so much. But one thing was certain: the longer she stayed here, the more complicated everything would become...
Found Along The Way
Daniel seemed perfect to Anya. Once he'd gone so had all of the pain he caused. Everything he did was shoved into the closet in the back of Anya's mind for her to forget, but without forgiving. It seemed that everywhere Anya went, she saw Daniel. Ever since the break-up she'd become introverted and wanted nothing but her home, art group, and him (of course). And so her life had become simple. Talking to her best friend, sleeping, art, and thinking about him. For nine whole months, she had been almost subconsciously waiting for him to turn up at the door so she could jump into his arms and kiss him. Her quiet days became almost filled with imagined conversations between them, and all the bad about him seemed to have faded away. Because in her mind, he was perfect.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

Traffic Kilig
Manila is loud, messy, and traffic-filled-but sometimes, love blooms right in the middle of the chaos. Aira is a hardworking college student, juggling classes, part-time jobs, and the daily grind of jeepney rides and cafeteria food. She's practical, outspoken, and never afraid to roll her eyes at people who think life is easy. Enter Javi: the effortlessly charming "conyo boy" with his designer bags, Frappuccino habit, and English-first vocabulary. He's used to comfort, not chaos. He's used to being admired, not corrected. But when he sits across Aira in the library and begs her for math help, their worlds collide in the most unexpected way. At first, it's just banter-his conyo humor versus her no-nonsense Tagalog. But soon, tutoring sessions turn into late-night coffee runs, jeepney rides home, and confessions in the middle of Manila traffic. Between the laughter and misunderstandings, Aira finds herself drawn to Javi's sincerity hidden beneath his jokes, while Javi discovers that love doesn't always come wrapped in luxury-it sometimes comes with fishball oil and handwritten notes. Traffic Kilig is a campus romcom set in the heart of Manila-funny, messy, kilig, and heartwarming. A love story about two people from different worlds who somehow find themselves caught in the same ride.
