New Beginnings

How does it feel to have a young heart – experiencing everything for the first time when spirits are wild and free?

In this collection of eleven short stories in English and Filipino, let us take you to the world of the young, where we experience falling in love despite the fear of rejection; living for and following our grandest dreams despite the small chance; going against the flow even when they say we can’t; fighting our battles even the we have to face it alone. Our inexperience, our shortcomings, our misgivings, our courage never comes short. There will always be hope. There will always be a new beginning.

Out of This World

No matter who they are, no matter what they are, there will always be someone, somewhere, who will be there for you, always. Whether they are the ghosts of the people you’ve loved, a prince, a princess or a queen from a faraway kingdom, an angel and a demon who are more than willing to stay with you until the end of time, no matter what form they take, their love for you will always be the same. Perhaps, even more, their love will not compare to ordinary humans, for their love is out of this world.

Summer Dreams

Dreams can be tricky.

They can be beautiful where you can choose to sleep and continue the fantasy; or wake up and chase after them in the real world. They could be nightmares – the wicked ones that haunt you and keep you up all night, sometimes even when you are awake because it is the reality you wish you could wake up from but won’t.
