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?

We Got Married!
[FIN] "You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they are not" Lahat tayo, nag hahanap ng taong mamahalin natin habang buhay, yung iba dyan nakahanap na, pero madami sa atin ang nag hahanap pa rin. Yung iba diyan, they're looking for someone perfect. Not necessarily a perfect person, there's no such thing as a perfect person. But their version of a perfect person. "Sabi sa census may 11 milyon na tao sa Metro Manila. Pano mo malalaman na nahanap mo na yung taong para sayo? Maaring nakita mo na siya pero yumuko ka para magsintas. Maaring nakatabi mo na siya pero lumingon ka para tingnan ang traffic lights. Maaring nakasalubong mo na siya pero humarang yung pedicab. May mga maswerteng tao na nahanap na yung taong para sakanila. May mga taong patuloy na naghahanap at may iba na sumuko na. Pero yung pinakamasaklap, e yung na sayo na pinakawalan mo pa." -John Lloyd Cruz / My Amnesia GirlComplete
Save to Heart (Student Series #2)
Student Series 2: "Bahala Na" Attitude 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 Manifesting a fatalistic attitude is nearly a norm inside a classroom and is often practiced by students who have lost their will or do not have any will at all to make a change in their life. They submit themselves to the Higher Being or anyone superior to them through tough times. Bahala na si Lord. Bahala na si Batman. Bahala na; babagsak din naman. Bahala na; at least tapos na. Aspasia Estiana was naturally born to be competitive for a reason so this kind of philosophy and bad habit is a blur in her dictionary. Alam niya ang sariling kakayahan at hindi siya kuntento sa 'puwede na' kung kayang higitan pa. Hindi puwedeng basta 'bahala na' kung may mababago pa. In fact, she can secure her valedictorian award if only not these two geniuses have to transfer in her school and overtake her place. But instead of feeling threatened, she sees them as some worthy academic rivals. Finally. Eventually, she builds a friendship with the kinder as she secures a special space in her life for the austere one... not realizing she just takes the risk of letting things happen out of hand for the first time. Little does she know, saving him a spot in her heart means taking her life into the pit of devastation.Complete
Second Chance
Athena Cojuangco and Theodore Ramisses will never be the same again. Pitong taon na ang nakalipas matapos ang trahedyang tumuldok sa kung anong meron sila. May naghabol at may ayaw magpahabol. May umiyak at may sumubok na maging matatag. May napagod at merong pinandigan ang kanyang desisyon. Pero nakalimot? Wala ni isa ang nakagawa. Paano nga ba nila makakalimutan ang nakaraang pilit nilang binaon pero pilit din naman silang hinahabol? Paano pag nagkita sila ulit? Marahil second chances are really meant for anyone. But it doesn't mean it would be easy. Paano kung ikaw yung naiwan? Handa ka bang magpatawad? Kaya mo bang tanggapin ang katotohanang minsan ka ng sinaktan ng taong akala mong hindi kaya gumawa sayo nun? Paano naman kung ikaw yung nangiwan? Handa ka bang magpakababa? Kaya mo bang harapin ang katotohanan na minsan ay may nasaktan ka at kailangan mong humingi ng tawad? Second chances aren't only called second just because people wasted their firsts. It was also for a simple reason that maybe, just maybe, it would work better for the second time around.

TBMC #6 [Batch1]- Lei Jin
"But let me rephrase your advice to her. It's no longer 'Hindi kasi sa lahat ng oras dapat puso mo ang nasusunod kapag in a relationship ka na.' Because as long as it's you I will always listen and choose to obey my heart for you. It's no longer 'Hindi porkit mahal mo siya dapat sundin mo na lang lagi ang gusto ng puso mo.' Because my heart will always want you so I will always choose to obey my heart as long as it's you who wants this because as I've said. Love is indeed like a Trust. It is when you are still trusting the woman or man that you thought you can't trust anymore. And Love is also indeed like a Sacrifice. You're doing unexpected things that you have never done before for the person that you love. Even if you have to let them go. But for me letting go is not in my vocabulary so let's face these challenges together and have faith in each other this time then solve the problems with solutions and we'll hold our hands tightly to face these challenges. Dahil sa pagkakataong ito. Kahit ikaw pa talaga ang pumatay sa mga mahal ko sa buhay ay pipiliin pa rin kita at mamahalin ng buo kong puso."
