Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more? *** May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam. Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit. Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana. Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga? Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish.

Lulubog, lilitaw--ganyan ang feelings ni Diane Christine para kay Jesuah. Pero paano kung sa isang iglap ay malaman niyang mahal din siya nito? Aamin na ba siya o patuloy pa rin niyang ililihim ang tunay na nadarama? *** "If there are no telltale signs of feelings, is it really there?" May feelings pero hindi sigurado. May kaba pero lumilipas. May kilig pero hindi lagi. May gusto pero may disgusto. May first love ba na madaling itago? I know what things I like and why I like them. Siya lang ang hindi talaga 'ko sigurado... kung bakit parang gusto ko. *** I've had relationships. Good ones. Bad ones. Natapos nang hindi ko alam kung ano ang kulang o ano ang mali. Sabi nila, minsan sa katitingin sa malayo kaya hindi nakikita agad na nasa malapit lang ang hinahanap natin. I don't know if that's really the case with Jesuah Hernandez. Sobrang lapit niya. Sobra-sobra. Siya ang first crush ko. Hindi sigurado kung siya ang first love. 'Yong feelings ko sa kanya, lumilitaw at nawawala. Parang hindi rin gano'n kalalim. Pero may kaba kapag nagkakalapit kami. Nagagalit ako kapag nagkaka-girlfriend siya. Hindi sigurado kaya lahat ng iniisip, nararamdaman, at selos ko, ako lang ang nakaaalam. Lahat, patago. Lahat, pasikreto. It's not love if there are no sure signs, right? Or is it? STATUS: Published under Bliss Books

No plot twists or whirlwind romance like in the books. Such is the fate of a side character like Mimi, who neither has a face, body, brains nor background worth boasting about. But what if she realizes that you don't need to be extraordinary to be loved? That perhaps, she's just clueless all along? *** "It's not love unless we say it." - Mimi No boyfriend since birth. No crush since birth (maliban sa fictional characters, kaya counted ba 'yon?). No ka-MU since birth. Food is life. Wattpader. K-drama addict. Kpopper. Maliit lang ang mundo ko. Kaunti lang din ang tao: Sina Yanyan at Iya. Sina Mama, Papa, at Kuya. At si Warren na rin pala. Karamihan sa mga kilala ko, problemado sa pagiging single o sa love life nila. Mas problemado ako sa taghiyawat ko at sa lapad ko sa camcorder tuwing may projects. Saka, sa mga third party sa Wattpad stories na binabasa ko. Dapat mawala na ang mga 'yon para magkatuluyan na ang mga bida. Pero minsan, kapag nalulungkot ako, kapag nag-iisip ako nang malalim, at kapag kasama ko si Warren tapos nakangiti siya... may something. Status: Published under Bliss Books

Growing up insecure, Aurora firmly believes she does not suit someone as perfect as Maxwell. But with him continuing to love her despite her insecurities and fears, will Aurora finally choose to let Maxwell in--or will she keep pushing him away even if it breaks her heart? *** Every love is unique. Every heartbreak is cliche. When I was young, I met a prince who told me I'm beautiful. Sabi niya, paglaki namin, liligawan niya 'ko. We grew up, but unfortunately, I had a reverse story of the ugly duckling. The prince continued to be a prince, while I became the unpretty duck that wouldn't become swan. Bumuhaghag ang buhok ko. Umitim ako. Natadtad ng taghiyawat. Sasabihin siguro ng iba, okay lang pumangit paglaki. Beauty is something that should shine from within. But that's not completely true. Kahit ga'no kaganda ang kalooban, laging huhusgahan ang hitsura. People judge with the eyes first-always. I learned that everyone desires to be interesting, but not different. There is a standard and everyone wants the same thing-beauty, recognition, intellect. I only wanted one thing-to stop dreaming for the prince. But he's Maxwell. When he's in my life, he pulls me into his magnetic field no matter how much I resist. When he's out of my sight, I miss him. Nagkaatraso ako sa kanya no'ng college. As fate would have it, we are going to see each other. Again.

After sharing three kisses that Jacob claimed as meaningless, will Iya finally give up--or will she keep holding on until her dream romance turns into reality? *** "I'm falling for your meaningless kisses." Tatlong halik. Lahat, walang kahulugan. Hindi ko dapat panghawakan pero paano ba ang hindi umasa kung parang meron ang wala? *** I have always wanted to be Jacob Tejeron's bride since I was six years old. People downplayed it to just having an intense crush, a puppy love, or a superhero model. Naisip ko, baka gano'n nga. Baka tinitingala ko si Jacob dahil siya 'yong hero na laging nandiyan para sagipin ako sa lahat ng palpak. I thought I could outgrow this feeling. But like a bad habit, I kept on looking at him; I kept on wishing with him; I kept on falling for him⁠-when all I am to him is a sister. Hindi ako dapat umasa⁠-hindi dapat aasa⁠-kahit sa mga halik niyang wala namang kahulugan. Pero paano ang hindi umasa? #
