When Penelope Mathews, a bubbly and optimistic young lady from a small village in the Caribbean journeys to Starlight City to further her education in forensic science, she is bombarded with a series of hurdles to cross. One of which is Vincent Carter, who she tries to revert to his old self after a devastating incident concerning the loss of his father changed him forever. In her effort to help Vincent overcome his grief, she too is suffering with her own internal battles. Such a task isn't easy business especially when Vincent refuses to trust her and doubts her every move, believing she has ill intentions towards him and his family. Being the ray of sunshine that she is, Penelope is perseverant and determined to make him smile despite the snide remarks he hurls at her almost every single day because that was just the type of person she was. Always considerate and a bit queer, she loved to see people happy and enjoying life to the fullest because any day could be her last.
Although being independent was something she aspired to, along the way Penelope is faced with the challenges of living on her own and fighting her battles without her family. But little does she know that in leaving one family behind, she gains another.
During her trip, she is forced to face her deepest fears and finally come to terms with her financial status, or lack thereof. After being accustomed to having only what is needed, she discovers wants, which for her, is a new side of the world. She has a hard time accepting the wealth thrown at her but never forgets where she comes from and the values her parents instilled in her.
Join Penelope on her adventure to the city, living through all of her first experiences as she appreciates the little aspects of life and encounters a completely different world.
"Wealth was always an aspiration but never a necessity. It was like wishing for more stars to adorn the night sky but being completely content with the few that were scattered around."

My Courageous Love ❤
"She loved the sea. She liked the sharp salty smell of the air, and the vastness of the horizons bounded only by a vault of azure sky above. It made her feel small but free as well." " The Sun was probably waiting for his whole life to go down from his pedestal so that his beloved moon would shine above his skies!" sagot ni Mr. Rosario ng tanungin niya kung ano ang iniisip ng Araw sa tuwing bumaba ito sa langit. Her question was strange but he obliged to answer. " You think so, Sir?" susog natanong pa niya habang nakatingala sa kalangitan. Kakababa pa lamang ng araw at mula sa kabilang dulo ay nagpapakita na ang buwan. "I believe so." Pagpapatuloy pa nito. Katulad niya ay nakatingin din ito sa kalangitan. "Don't you think it's unfair?" she said after awhile, the old man looked at her and wait for her to finish her question. "Imagine the Sun needs to die everyday so that his Moon can shine through his skies? What a love?" emosyonal na sambit niya, tulad niya ang araw. Kailangan niya masaktan ng paulit ulit para lamang sa kasiyahan ni Lucas and its been draining her up but she loves him so much that she tolerated all of his mistakes to the point na nawawalan na siyang na pagmamahal at respeto sa sarili. "Well, that's most love do. Selfishness it may seems but that reality, hija." komento ng kasama. "Looking at the Sun and the Moon, its enchanting love story. But you see, sometimes great love story doesn't have happy endings. They're people who are bound to fall inlove to someone they can never be with for the rest of their lives. And yet, they're grateful enough to experience that one thing, that thing everyone is wishing for. Love." He says. At pinagpatuloy nila ang kwentuhan sa isang dinner sa dining area ng resort. #somecourage #alotoflove #endlessfaithComplete

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god!

Love you always
Book One of the Love You Series - Standalone. Sometimes the heart wants what logic swears is off-limits. Kyle Carter. By definition? My brother's best friend. To everyone else? Confident. Charismatic. The human version of sunshine. He walks into a room and people gravitate toward him-like he knows exactly who he is and where he's going. But behind the easy smiles and effortless charm is someone quieter, softer... someone who wants to be seen. Really seen. By one person alone. When you're part of the same friend group, running into each other is inevitable. Daily, even. Bickering became our version of talking, teasing became our shared language. But it's dangerous-the kind of dangerous where you start noticing just how beautiful someone is, and wondering how it's even fair to exist next to them. And feelings? They show up like a tidal wave I can't stop, no matter how many times I tell myself not to fall. Because Kyle Carter is off-limits. And I should know better. Ivy Kingston. Definition? My best friend's sister. The one girl who knows exactly how to push my buttons-and enjoys doing it. She's bold, reckless, and says things that get under my skin and stay there. She's trouble in the form of witty comebacks and the most intoxicating smile I've ever seen. She's not the little girl I used to tease anymore. She's... something else entirely. And it scares the hell out of me how much I want her. Feelings weren't supposed to be part of the equation-but here they are, crashing through every line I've drawn. And no matter how much I try to stay away, she pulls me in like gravity. They say if it's meant to be, it'll find a way. But there's always a but, isn't there? The truth is, I don't know if I'll ever get my happy ending. Hell, she is my happy ending. And I need her. More than anything.
Where the Sun Finds Us
🌤️ Where the Sun Finds Us Sometimes, the light you've been chasing... finds you first. In the middle of her midlife crisis, Lei thought the chaotic part of her life was finally over. But sometimes, in the midst of all the noise, that's where new stories begin. One day, she receives an unexpected scholarship to Celestra Republic's most prestigious academy - a school for the nation's brightest minds and top celebrities completing their mandatory academic enlistment. Lei's plan was simple: a fresh start. Quiet. Far from everything that once hurt. But instead of peace, she found five of the country's most famous personalities - each carrying a secret behind their spotlight. A golden-retriever boy with tired eyes. A med student who laughs to hide his guilt. A gentle heir who has everything, except the courage to be real. A composed idol adored by millions but haunted by a past he can't face. And his best friend - someone who somehow feels familiar, even though they've just met. But Lei is different. She's the contrast - the calm to their chaos. She was raised in a home filled with warmth, where love was steady, laughter was constant, and kindness was taught not through words, but through how people treated one another. And that kind of upbringing - she slowly begins to bring it back to the people she meets in Celestra. To those who've forgotten what real happiness feels like. To those who've learned to fake smiles just to survive. Because that's what she was taught - to give the same gentleness she was once given. To be the kind of light that doesn't blind, but heals. And maybe, as she helps them find their own sunshine, Lei will learn how to become the light she's been searching for all along. Because sometimes, you don't have to chase the sun. Sometimes, you just have to be the warmth someone else has been searching for. ✨ A story about kindness passed down, love rediscovered, and how the way we're raised can shape the light we bring into the world.
