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

'Ever heard of this painting called ‘The Señorita’? I bet you haven’t. I never thought this painting existed until I visited the basement 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 basement.'

...

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

School of Myths, a school where certain beings study, they were called Mythical Shamans.... more>>

The school was located in a place where no one would be willing to visit. Because this place was believed to be a nesting ground for evil creatures. Though the school and its students were never proven to be real, or maybe they were just made up by a few people who managed to visit the place and came back.

It was even more of a taboo to mention any of these rumors because the people who did discuss what they saw in the nesting ground of the evil creatures vanished one by one and their whereabouts were unknown. Many speculated that they were abducted by the evil creatures who reside in the evil nest and others foretold that they were cursed by the evil creatures because of what they have voiced out about the said place.

And it was then that the place was called “The Den of Evil”, so it was prohibited by the government to visit or even get near the place, because of the dangers that await those that dared go there. Until now the place remained a mystery and for whatever creatures lived in that place. <<less
