ABOUTquote
I studied Creative Writing at the University of the Philippines, where I learned not only the craft of storytelling but the discipline of giving life to ideas. Over the years, I have published hundreds of pocketbooks, short stories, and articles in various magazines—each one a testament to my passion for words and my commitment to the art. I have the ability to create a book or a magazine from cover to cover, shaping every detail with intention—from the first spark of an idea to the final page. Writing, for me, is more than a skill; it is a calling, a way to transform thoughts into something that can inspire, comfort, and endure.

Once was enough. Once was enough for her to love Hal with all of herself. Even if he returns to the arms of his former love, her place will never leave his heart. Even if it’s only a role she plays. Even if it’s only a dream she clings to.Ah… Hal. The only man who ever taught her what love truly means. But what happens to her if Olga steals the man who gives color to her world? How does she fight for a love that was never meant to be hers, when Olga is his first wife, his true wife… and she is only borrowed time?Will Hal choose to go back to the woman who first owned his heart, even after she threw away his loyalty, dragged his name through the dirt, while he was quietly building a future for the one he loves most — Olga?
