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.

In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete

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 You Came Back
Synopsis "Bumalik siya... pero hindi na siya 'yung iniwan ko noon." Michael used to be the quiet, bullied boy in school chubby, awkward, and always hiding behind his glasses. But to Allyson, he was the kindest soul she'd ever met... her best friend, her first crush, her "what if." When Michael's family moved to Canada, he left her with a bracelet and a promise: "When I come back, you'll still know me." Years later, he did come back. But this time, he wasn't the same boy she used to protect. He was confident. Handsome. Different. And while Allyson's heart still remembered him, life had changed she had her own world, her own best friend, Cassandra... who just happened to fall for Michael too. Now caught between the past they once shared and the present that keeps breaking them apart, Allyson and Michael must learn what love really means beyond the promises, beyond the pain, beyond the timing that never seemed to be right. Because sometimes, the greatest love stories aren't about ending up together. They're about learning how to say goodbye and still smile when you remember.Complete
Almost Us
This is my first novel. A story born from countless imagined scenarios-those "what if" moments in the head that never happened but feel so real. It's about friendship, laughter, jealousy, and the feelings we keep hidden. It's about the times we're too quiet, the words left unsaid, and the moments that could have changed everything... if only. What if we were more than friends? What if I said what I felt? What if things turned out differently? This is not the story of "us." This is the story of what we almost were.
