They say if you want to survive then live. If you want to live, you need to face life. Life is one tough opponent. Life is a friend and a foe both at the same time. What if in the connection of live-life, sumingit si LOVE? Maging LIVE-LOVE-LIFE?
Will things get better or it will shake your defenses down?
Meet Baste, your not-so-boy-next-door leading man, who tries to survive his everyday struggles while juggling school, work and family at the same time with diskarte. Ika nga niya, "hindi na nga ako gwapo, magiging pabigat pa ba ako?"
Eh paano kung may gift sa kanya si Destiny after siyang pahirapan? Si Alliana, the yayamanin girl who can afford anything.
Predictable? Maybe. Cliche? Maybe.
How will things turn up for Baste? Let's see how Baste will fight for life and love or will he be somewhere in between?

As in, bigla na lang nawala, walang pasabi, walang closure, walang anything. Eh di syempre, bilang matinong babae, I did what any rational human being would do-nag-move on nang slight.

With a stranger. At hindi lang basta-bastang lalaki, kundi isang nakakagigil na tao na later on, malalaman kong magiging bagong boss ko. Yes.

There's no one else for her. Or so she thought. Her life's greatest plot twist is about to happen, when Javi Aragonza, the popular basketball team captain, barged in without knocking.Complete
