The Gym House is the story of a gym owner who built more than a place to train, he built safe space for broken people to rebuild. Inside these walls, members come for different reasons; to lose weight, to get strong, to change their lives. But what they seek goes deeper. Through real conversations, late-night talks, tough love, and unwavering support, the gym owner becomes more than just a coach, he becomes a mentor, a brother, and sometimes the only person who believes in them. This is a story about transformation that starts with a workout, but changes everything. Because at The Gym House, we don't just build better bodies... We help build better lives.

Sabi nila, once ex mo na, off-limits na dapat sa circle. Girl code, bro code-the usual rules. Pero what if sa loob ng same circle niyo rin mahanap 'yung peace na hindi niyo nakuha sa iba? From toxic exes na bumabalik, to best friends falling for each other, at 'yung mapanghusgang label na "pasa-pasahan"-kakayanin ba ng friendship niyo 'yung gulo? This isn't your typical perfect barkada story. It's messy, it's complicated, and it's about growing up. If you're looking for friendship stories that go beyond the surface, this might be the one for you.

To the friends who became family and to the love that they gave each day. the true ones,the one who knows about my full version and the all sides I may have. for those who stayed and never let go even at the lowest,this isn't a love story but a thank you.

The Actual Fool is a bittersweet story about friendship, hesitation, and the kind of feelings that grow quietly while someone keeps insisting they're nothing more. Through missed chances, bad timing, Bushes, tarot cards, chaotic adventures, and one very persistent Blue Moon, the Fool learns that sometimes the hardest part isn't losing someone, but realizing you should have acted when certainty was standing right in front of you. In the end, there is no grand romance, only one final Lover-Man gesture: "Good afternoon. Good evening. And good night."

"October's Full Circle" A story of betrayal, healing, and finding peace where it all began. In October 2017, I thought love meant forever. In October 2018, I discovered the truth that broke me. And in October 2023, I finally understood why it all had to happen. This is not just a love story. This is a collection of heartbreak letters, written in the quiet moments of pain, stitched with Bisaya hugot and real emotions. From the tears shed in silence to the laughter that slowly returned, every chapter traces the raw journey of losing someone - and eventually, finding myself. Because sometimes, the ending is not about getting back what you lost... But coming full circle - whole, wiser, and finally free.

An Open Letter to an INFJ.

This collection doesn't aim to comfort; It observes, questions, and refuses to look away. --------------- For readers who like poetry that lingers after the last line, and stories told in fragments that don't always resolve, but instead echo.

This is a raw and honest glimpse into what it feels like to hide sadness behind a fake smile. When people judge without understanding, and you're just trying to be yourself in a world that expects more. Sometimes life isn't about pretending everything is okay - it's about admitting it's not.

What goes on in the mind of a teen. Fueled by personal experiences.

A message that you would really relate. Matatamaan ka at di ka makakaiwas. Malalaman mo at makikilatis mo kung saan kaba dito. Kung naka move on kana ba o bitter ka parin talaga. Minsan ang pagiging bitter ay masaya. Ngunit Di dapat natin siniseryoso ang pagiging bitter. Mas mabuti pang ayusin natin ang mga sarili natin upang maipakita sa mga taong nanakit satin na hindi Sila kawalan at kaya natin kahit Wala sila. May mga bagay talagang di na magbabago pa. Ang kailangan nalang nating gawin eh tanggapin at unawain na di talaga kayo para sa isa't Isa. Move on. Move forward.

Though this passage is a continuation of my first please open the book to several feelings I could never express. Words I speak are spoken in rhythm . Patterns surrendered to portray the world through my eyes-a step into my mind.
