I woke with an arm draped over my waist. Despite the roaring thunder and heavy pouring of the rain overnight, I slept through it all in peace. Dahan-dahan akong umikot para harapin ang lalaki na katabi ko ngayon. His face resonated warmness that I’ve never seen in a long time. Hindi ko napaigilan na mapangiti dahil sa nararamdaman ko ngayon.
Alam ko na maaayos namin lahat ng nangyari. Hindi magiging madali lahat sa una pero alam ko na kakayanin namin ito. You never know you’ll have the strength and courage to fight for that special someone in your life. Us against all odds ika nga nila.
Bumaling ako sa bintana nang mapansin na wala na ang malakas na ulan. A small amount of sunshine entered th

"Happy birthday, Calli!"sabay-sabay na bati ng mga tao na nakasama ko sa buhay ko pagkapasok namin sa isang resort.I stood agape at the marvel unfolding right infront of me. My workmates, friends, and family all stood there, beaming at me. Hindi ko napigilan na mapaluha dahil sa tuwa."Thank you," I said in a shaky voice.Napalingon naman ako kay Lev na may malapad na ngiti sa mukha. I can't help but wonder if he planned this all along. He grinned at me and enveloped me in his arms, kissing the top of my head."You sneaky, man. How'd you do this? How were you able to keep this a secret from me?" sunud-sunod ko na tanong sa kanya.He kissed my forehead before answering

I felt helpless as I stood on a corner with my body trembling and endless tears streaming down my face.I knew we'd come to this point, but I never realized it would be this early. I just got the old him back and now he's being taken away from me.Everything was just happening in a blink of an eye and I just couldn't keep up.

Ups and Downs of Love SPECIAL CHAPTER
Since I was a child, I've always wanted a fairytale love story. A prince charming coming to save a damsel in distress, eventually falling in love and living happily ever after. But growing up, I've realized that love doesn't always come dressed as rainbows and sunlight, that despite its vibrancy, a dark feeling resides with it and that feeling is pain. You can't say you've loved someone if you haven't experienced pain. I know that love has two faces, two personalities, but I didn't know that it would bethatdifficult to experience. My first major heartbreak was with Pierre. I thought he was the one, like most people who fall in love think. But whenthatnight happened, I thought I couldn't love again. I can't bear the pain I went through anymore. But if you know me and Lev, you'll know thatthatheartbreak was just a heads up for what's about to come. “Ang tahimik dito,” saad ko nang muling win

Corner StoneAdvertising Agency Iyan ang ngalan ng kumpanya na hindi nangahas na tanggapin ako. Pagkatapos ng apat na taong pagtanggap sa mga linyang “Tatawagan ka na lang namin”o ang pinakamasakit,“Napag-utusan lang kami,”ay napalitan na rin ng"Congratulations! You're hired!" This is the new beginning I’ve been waiting and praying for the last four years. Pagkatapak ko sa elevator, nakadama ako ng adrenaline rush. Hinding-hindi ko ipapahiya ang kumpanya na ‘to. They may not know it but I owe them big time. Dahil sa kumpanya na ‘to, maraming pinto na punung-puno ng mga oportunidad ang magbubukas para sa akin at lahat ng ‘yon ay papasukin ko. I held my head h

"I just want to talk to you," kaswal niyang saad. Gusto ko iuntog dito sa lamesa ang ulo ko para maintindihan ang sinabi ni Pierre. Sumandal ako sa kinauupuan ko at pinagkrus ang mga braso ko. Nakapamulsa pa siya sa harap ko. He looks all business and beaming with confidence, but underneath him is a boy who always wants his father's approval. "At ano na namang kasinunggalingan ang sasabihin mo sa akin? Ipapatanggal na naman ba ako ng Papa mo sa trabaho? Babalaan niya ba 'yong mga kumpanya na ina-applyan ko para hindi ako tanggapin?" I tried to sound calm, but I badly want to slap him so hard until my hand numbs. Inalis naman na niya ang pagkakapamulsa niya at nangunot ang kanyang noo. He sat on the chair across from me and leaned in, with his arm on the table for support.

7am nang mag-ring ang alarm clock ko. I need to be at the restaurant before 10am. I sent Ma'am Merriam the plates I made and thankfully, she gave me a go signal to present them. I also sent Mr. Tavarella the templates I made, though I'm not expecting he'll reply or even see those dahil busy siya for his upcoming event. Dahil ako lagi ang nauunang magising, ako na rin ang laging nakaatas na magluto ng umagahan namin ni Ada. She usually wakes up thirty minutes after me. Nagsimula na akong magdikdik ng bawang dahil isasangag ko ang natirang kanin kagabi. Pagkatapos, nagprito na ako ng bacon at itlog. "Aba, ang bango naman." Muntik ko na maihagis 'yong bacon na piniprito ko dahil bigla ba namang lumitaw si Ada. "Sige, Ada. Manggulat k
