She Believed She Could So She Did Novels & Stories

Konti nalang talaga at lalapag na ang kanyang mga paa sa ulap. Ang lamig ng kanyang kamay at sobrang pamumutla niya na parang walang dugo sa kanyang mukha. Nagmistulang papel ang kanyang mga labi. Agad naman siyang tumingin sa akin nang mahawakan ko ang kanyang kamay. “Kailangan mong magtiwala sa iyong sarili at maniwala sa Panginoon upang maging possible ang impossible,” saad ko sa kanya.

I don’t believe it. I can’t believe that she will question my sincerity. “Please, Mia. Let’s stop it here, habang hindi pa ganoon kalalim. Love is the scariest thing.”

I added, trying to shake her confidence. She paused, clearly mulling over my words. But instead of hesitating, she tightened her grip on her sword and prepared to strike. “No!” she shouted, her voice brimming with courage. “I can do this because it’s my destiny! I’m still the hero of this world!” She was resolute. Her expression showed that nothing would stop her now. This was bad for me—I was her target, and even if she was clumsy and cowardly, the Sword of Heaven was no joke. Its divine power made her a genuine threat, despite her lack of skill.

I was finally able to breathe when she's no longer talking to me. "Something just came up," Faith just said coolly. I looked at her through the rearview mirror and she's just looking outside through the window. I know something happened. She's very transparent. Sa aming tatlo, she's the worst liar. She just can't lie because in the first place, she doesn't know how to. It's like whenever she lies, you'll know she's lying. And I don't know if that's a good thing.

Isn't it like this in movies? “Woy parang impossible naman na mangyari yun,” wika nito. Ngunit di mapakali ito at tila ba ay nasisiyahan sa naiisip. "It can't be..." she said to herself. She immediately jumped in excitement. 'Wag mag-assume at baka masaktan ka lang ulit,' Pagpapa-alala nito sa sarili. Yet she thought that she should not assume and that she could be disappointed later on. After all, it had been 5 years.

She's so shy, she's speaking only when she ask and wala pang 50 sentences ang nasasabi niya sa buong araw sa school. At first, she's good enough for my first impression na shy type siya and tahimik lang. Madalas din siyang maasar ngunit hindi ko inaakala na one day, and that one day is today she stands for someone and speak. Well nakaka-impress naman. Specially those beliefs that she always pursue and fighting for, a fair justice for our school and its students, an encouragement she showed us to stand to our feet and don't let anyone 'to humiliate ourselves.

Karina's pov: Curiosity killed the cat, totoo nga ang sinasabi nilang ito. Sinubukan ko lang naman halikan siya, kahit na mali. Pero hindi ko alam na mapapaso ako sa ginawa kong iyon. Hindi ko alam na katulad din "Akin ka na lang, p'wede ba?" Napapikit ako sa sinabi niyang iyon. God, it is tempting to believe so. Pero wala naman mawawala kung papayag ako, 'di ba?

"And he's blaming you for his incompetence." "And I don't want to know what you're thinking babe..." Ngumiti si Catalina sa kaniya. "I want this to be right. Just one last time..." Umiling si Hugo. "No," he gritted his teeth. "Lies become the truth when you keep telling it to them." Hugo narrowed his eyes. "What do you want to tell me?" Ngumisi si Catalina. "If you keep believing the lie you tell yourself, it becomes the truth."

Hindi dahil may ginawa siyang mali sa akin kundi dahil may parte sa akin na alam kung gaano kalapit siya noon kay Atticus. And yet, it felt like she didn’t even care if I believed her or not. Parang wala siyang kailangan patunayan. She wasn’t trying to please me, or earn my approval. Ginagawa lang niya ang ipinag-utos sa kanya ni Atticus na samahan ako habang wala siya. That was it.

I hate it when she thinks that she's not capable of doing things confidently. "Sa tingin mo, sasabihin kong kaya mo kung sa tingin ko ay hindi mo kaya?" mahinahon ngunit madiin kong wika. "Samantha, hindi mo na natanggal ang ugali mong 'yan. You can do it. Ikaw lang ang nag-iisip na hindi mo kaya." Nagbaling siya ng tingin sa ibang direksiyon.
