Almost Us
Friendship. Love. Heartbreak. At minsan, kahit gaano mo kamahal ang isang tao, hindi niyo talaga sinasadyang magsama.
Aira and Theo grew up side by side, magkaibigan, magkababata, laging magkasama sa lahat ng bagay. But when Liam, a new student with a quiet charm, enters their world, everything starts to change.
From laughter-filled school days to rainy night confessions, from festival lights to stolen moments, their friendship is tested in ways they never imagined.
Will Theo finally confess his feelings before it's too late? Will Aira realize the love that's been beside her all along? Or will life take them down separate paths, leaving only memories and "what-ifs"?
Almost Us is a bittersweet K-drama-inspired story about love, friendship, and the quiet heartbreak of growing up.

Paper Boats in a Drizzling Day
They were just classmates, nothing more, nothing less. He was the boy everyone knew wasn't into girls. She was the girl who kept her feelings buried, knowing they had no chance. But deep in her heart, she was hoping na baka kung sakaling umamin siya ay may pag-asa. Baka may nararamdaman din ito para sa kaniya. But nothing happened. No confessions, no heartbreak, just a quiet understanding that they could never be more than classmates. Years passed. Life happened. They lost touch. Even forget that once in their life, each other existed until one email, an invitation for their senior high school reunion. A high school reunion brought them back together. Familiar faces, old memories, and one too many drinks. And somehow, by the end of the night, they ended up in the same bed. One night doesn't mean anything right?

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.
