Sa kabila ng fame na ito, may kulang pa rin sa pagkatao niya, may kulang pa rin para maging natural ang ngiti niya, para maging normal ang daloy ng kasiyahan sa sistema niya. He's missing someone. Someone that he love the most. He's longing for Alexandra so damn.

"Now, let’s leave the past behind and look forward to the future that we are going to create. A future where it’s just you and me, against the world. You’re my last, my only, my everything." "My everything," pag-uulit ko, habang ang init ng kanyang presensya ay nagpaparamdam sa akin na wala na akong ibang kailangan sa mundong ito. "Wala na akong ibang hihilingin pa, George. As long as I have you, I have everything. Together, we can conquer anything that stands in our way."

“What matters is you’re here. And I’m here. That’s enough—for now.” Napatingin si Nica sa kaniya. Hindi niya alam kung paano pa pipigilan ang sariling puso. Pero sa ngayon, hindi niya muna ito sasagutin. Hindi pa niya kayang maniwala na may ligtas na mundo para sa isang katulad niya. ***

I missed all these things at paulit-paulit ko itong naaalala, every now and then. Hay, nakakaiyak naman! "Tama na nga 'yan Precious! Kailangan mo na talagang tanggapin, that nothing in this world is permanent. Lahat nagbabago, and not everyone else will stay", saway ko sa aking sarili.

You only need you to love me back... more than your fears and insecurities.” Banayad itong huminga nang malalim at diniin ang labi sa tuktok ng kaniyang ulo, “It’s more than enough for me.

And I don't really trust them because I know they don't really treat me as a friend. Kinaibigan dahil may pera. Kinaibigan dahil kilala. And that's the reality of life, I guess.

"Celina, I am not a perfect man. I have flaws that you may have to deal with in the future. I cannot promise you heaven because I am not God. I cannot promise you paradise because I already feel like I am there with you. I cannot promise you happiness because I was happy when I was with you. I cannot promise you the world because you are the world to me." "Jefferson, I am a very difficult person. So I know I can deal with you in the future.
