One night, at exactly 23:11, a stranger sent Jhing Blanco a friend request on Facebook. From then on, every night at the exact same time, this stranger keeps trying to get her attention. No matter how much Jhing ignores him, no matter how many times she left him on seen, no matter how cold she is towards him… ... more>>

The two strangers gradually became each other’s daily dose of 11:11.

‘Don’t open your eyes, Rachel’, she whispered inside her head. ‘Don’t open your d**n eyes.’ But still, she couldn’t keep herself in the end. She opened her eyes and she was greeted by the most handsome face she had ever wanted to see in her entire life, only a few inches away from hers!

“Hi!” Melvin greeted with a smile.

Then without any preamble, she just heard herself speak. “Will you marry me?”

She almost slapped herself. How could she ask him that thing when they had only been together again for only a few minutes after eleven years of not seeing each other?

“Yes, Rachel,” Melvin answered. “I will marry you.”

Dear Diary,

Today, I tripped in the hallway. Nobody seemed to notice, good thing I’m ugly.

-Eya

PS. Just kidding, I was seen and laughed at by Cross, my Bench model schoolmate.

======

Eya is a kind-hearted girl who has faced several difficulties in life. Orphaned at the age of 14, her aunt adopts her but kicks her out as soon as she turns 18. Unable to make ends meet, she gets a new job as a nanny only to realize she has to look after Cross, an egoistic young man whom she calls the “monster”. Cross, having lost his mother at a young age, has grown resentful towards everybody around him. But regardless of their differences, they start to get along well.

Eya does not realize that she is caught up in a twisted, complicated love square (?). She starts developing a crush on her best friend Chad, who likes her friend Lory. However, Lory has had a crush on Cross since they were in kindergarten… How will this all pan out for Eya? <<less

Jenna’s hatred towards Dex Peralta started since he has played with her because of an interview she has to get from him for their campus paper.... more>>

He was tagged as the “campus king.”

He was their university’s varsity team captain and the most infamous bad boy and campus heartthrob at the same time.

He does not want to be interviewed by her.

That’s why she has to make a move to make him agree to take the interview.

She has to change herself so he’ll take notice of her.

But that seems to be the root reason for him to play with her heart.

Fast forward to the present time. Jenna was now a media person.

And it seems that history is repeating itself.

With Dex’s come back to the basketball scene, she has to take an interview with him, again.

But she has learned her lessons.

This time, she would not let her heart be played by Dex again. <<less

Number one, perfectionist, ballerina, impulsive, and amazona—that was Alzeah Marie Constantino! She believed that she was beautiful, exceptional, and smart. But beware, because she never backed down. She cursed a lot; she didn't have friends aside from her lazy, lazy, lazy childhood frenemy and neighbor, Tyrone James Dela Cruz.

One time, Zeah witnessed how Tyrone’s friend and first love betrayed him. She was livid; she wanted to take revenge for Tyrone by being his tutor and life coach.

'Ever heard of this painting called ‘The Señorita’? I bet you haven’t. I never thought this painting existed until I visited the bas**ent of the Manila Art Museum.... more>>

It’s a painting of a woman in a baro’t saya, with her back turned to the viewer. I asked the art director about the story of this painting. According to him, this was donated by a wealthy businessman after he lost his wife to an illness. The businessman was an avid art collector and he got The Señorita for an affordable price at a garage sale in Calamba, Laguna. He was obsessed with looking at it every day, until he realized that he was starting to go bankrupt and that his wife fell ill. When his wife died, he gave away the painting to the Manila Art Museum, and now it resides in the bas**ent.'
-anonymous

...

The Señorita, also known as La Señorita.

The said painting seemed old. The colors appeared like they would fade away at any moment. And even its golden frames were giving off signs of crumbling.

Just from the title itself, one would imagine the Señorita as a beautiful girl made into a masterpiece, even immortalized through that said exceptional painting.

However, it was actually hiding a mystery. No one knows about the said painting’s history, especially about the model and its painter. It was also said to be jinxed, never failing to bring misfortune on whomever's hands it would fall to. But, who was the maiden being called the Señorita and are the stories revolving around her true?

Was the painting really accursed? <<less
