Until Trilogy by jonaxx

UNTIL HE WAS GONE

This actually evolved in the Montefalco counsins' cool relationship. They would go out of town and explore the adventures that only those who can afford can experience. They were the most awesome cousins I've ever read in wattpad. I mean, the way they treat each other was something that is seldom found in the what relationships we nowadays have. 

I will enumerate them all, just so I won't forget:
 MONTEFALCOs

JUSTIN - YASMIN - ELIJAH
RAFAEL - DAMON (EBA)
KNOXX - AZRAEL - CLAUDETTE
ERIN - CHANEL - JOSIAH  
KLARE - CHARLES 

 TYs
HENDRIX - PIERRE - KLARE



Also, I was actually expecting that this was a love story of Klare and Eion. But as I read on, I found out that it was about forbidden love at its most cruel state. It's Klare and Elijah's story. They were cousins, originally, because they were raised as such. They tried to divert their attentions to other distractions when they noticed that they were feeling something different for each other.

They tried their best not to fall. Because firstly, it's a taboo. I mean, who would fall in love with one's cousin, right? It was incest. And discomforting. However, I continued reading and witnessed all the suppression and complications and I could say their love for each other was strong.

The problem however arose when their families found out about their relationship. Klare chose to let Elijah go for their family. So Elijah went to New York to forget about Klare. But like in so many love stories, the love never dies regardless of distance. 

UNTIL HE RETURNED

From the title itself, you can deduce that it's about Elijah's return to the Philippines after discovering that Klare wasn't a Montefalco afterall, instead a Ty. Elijah needed to bring with him a girlfriend so he used one girl to make it look like he has already moved on. He wasn't permitted to return in the Philippines unless he found a girlfriend, until he has completely forgotten about Klare.

Klare changed her surname to Ty and had become close to her hot brothers: Hendrix and Pierre. I honesly thought what they already have in life was okay. Elijah has moved on. Klare has recovered and was on the process of letting go. But hearts could be so stubborn at times. Despite all their efforts to conceal what they felt for each other, it is still impossible. It's like what their love just grew and grew until it couldn't be contained anymore - until they exploded.

The second book contains lots and lots of jealousy moments. And it was really funny and amusing at the same time. Their relationship was not accepted - even by their cousins. As I have already emphasized, this is a story about FORBIDDEN LOVE AT ITS MOST CRUEL STATE.

It ended when Klare ran away and went to Davao to ask her biological father to help them figure out what they should do. It was after Elijah left home to make a point - that he was willing to surrender anything, everything, everyone just to fight for Klare. Their cousins went to Davao too to show their support. Elijah's departure woke them up.

What more could I say? The rational part of me may still consider what they have incest. But witnessing how they tried to stop it and failed, how they never wavered when they were given the second chance, how they trusted each other, how their love endured all that has tried to destroy what they have, made me realize that they deserve each other. All the other doubts were just disregarded.

I admire both of them. AND I LOVE ELIJAH RILEY FREAKING MONTEFALCO!!! And all the other Montefalcos and Tys really. LOL

UNTIL FOREVER

The last book started with Elijah's flashback. 
Still, it was about forbidden love. Klare's family, except his stepmom, father and brothers, couldn't accept her. The Montefalcos still aren't totally up to it - but their love for both Klare and Elijah made them accept it afterwards.

The problem of the third book was about a video and a picture posted on facebook, displaying the intimacy of Elijah and his ex-girlfriend from US, Selena, who happened to be Klare's second-degree cousin. Klare thought it was recent, so she was hurt and all that. Elijah was also angry because Klare didn't mention about her fixed marriage (supposed-to-be) with some Chinese guy. Yet another misunderstanding, that could be fatal to relationships. Regardless, they figured out the truth afterwards, explained themselves, and reconciled.

The Tys still couldn't accept Klare. The Montefalcos are cool with them. The story ended with Elijah proposing to Klare in the most unexpected circumstance (Klare's biological grandmother's birthday). There was still this uncertainty at the end of the story, whether or not the people of the society and all the others will accept their relationship.

What this series taught me is that, you could fall for the most unexpected person in the most unexpected time. It's gonna be tough to fight for that forbidden love - but rest assured that it's gonna be worth it.

Read it and be mesmerized by the Montefalcos and they fought for their family and for love.

Mapapansin Kaya by jonaxx

So after reading this story, I told myself that I have to start reviewing all that I have read from wattpad. And in a way tell something about them, so I could revisit the feelings I have felt while reading them through visiting this blog.

What is it about love stories and their happy endings. I get lost in the beauty of the heart-warming cliches that make girl fall so hard for love itself. I love fairy tales. And that probably isn't cool and all, but I'm just so pathetic I can't even deny it.

This is a story about Wade Sexyyyyy (hellyeahhahahahahlol) Rivas and Reina Carmela Elizalde. They started being friends when they were in first year college. Reina actually liked Wade first because he's all mysterious and good-looking. He has this hidden kindness that she actually could see behind the surface. They became close and eventually they fell for each other. But the conflict came when she discovered that he only became friends with her to get close to her brother, Noah, who belongs to this cool band, Zeus. She was hurt of course, but she just didn't try to hear his defense. Wade admitted that that deal was true - that the initial reason he befriended her was for his to have a good enough chance to be chosen as the vocalist of Zeus. He, however, failed to explain that as he tries to accomplish the plan, he fell madly and hopelessly in love with her in the process.

So, Reina felt betrayed and all and left the Philippines to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer. She studied in Paris, barricading herself from all of the news in the Philippines. She only got in touch with her brothers and her bestfriend. She totally excluded Wade in the picture. Meanwhile, Wade persevered hard to achieve his dreams. He became a famous rockstar (vocalist of Going South), a model, and (well!) a certified hottie. He even tried to follow Reina in Paris, despite all the hurt, only to find her happy with another guy, Liam, who actually was just her friend.

After four years (I think), Reina came back to the Philippines and met Wade again. They tried to not feel awkward when they randomly meet, and they almost destroyed themselves pretending they're not in love with each other. So after all the drama, all those jealousy and all the revenge schemes gone totally wrong, they finally got the courage to admit to each other their feelings. 

The problem after then was Wade's fans will get really angry at Reina and bash her if they found out about their relationship. So they hid it. And that is brutally excruciating (And I'm just a third person here, huh. Totally not involved whatsoever in the story. How come I could feel the brutality of it all. Hahaha. This is ridiculous.) I've witnessed how their story transpired (even if just from afar - behind my computer, to be exact. :D) and I could not doubt the purity of the love they feel for each other. It's just that sometimes, life just doesn't go the way you want it to and you miss some of the chances and all gets messed up.

Eventually, Wade proved her love to Reina when he told the public that he's quitting Going South and choosing Reina over everything else. This was triggered when the public discovered about their relationship and Reina got bashed and insulted over the Internet. Not bearing to contain his awesomeness, Wade just related to everyone their love story and how he felt about her in a press conference. And though that, he even proved himself to Reina's parents and siblings who later on consented on their wedding.

So there was this Going South come-back concert and Reina was clueless that that day of the concert, there in Arenata, will also be their wedding day. So they married each other, right there, in front of all the fans and their families. THE END

Pure love at its most incredible state, isn't it? Amazing. Heartwarming. Riveting. Awe-inspiring.

The beginning of the story was some kind of romcom for me. I was laughing throughout dozens of chapters nonstop. And I at some point have to cover my mouth with the back of my hand and toss myself in bed untiringly. Hahahah. That much, author! I was laughing so hard.

And when they broke up in Alegria, I was like "You send my heart rocketing to the sky, only to shoot it straight and let it fall dead on the ground." I am a sucker for happy endings really. And I get so sad too when the main characters find it hard to figure out the best decisions they could make under the circumstances they're in. In a way, don't you think, we learn from their mistakes. And I am hoping that when you come across this kind of stories, you will keep all the learning you could possibly get from it. (As for me, I am doing my best to collect what I could collect. It's so much fun to live while learning and learn while living. It's a good life.)

I loved the story, the way it was written, and the possibility of it happening in reality (Not the rockstar and rich girl kind of thing, no. I think it's about how you are willing to give up everything just to be with that one person that you are willing to trade the world for and how one who dreams to reach the stars could try his best to conjure up wings for him to fly.) Thank you, author. (If you ever read this in any way... | Nice to indirectly meet you!)

You may read it on wattpad. And follow the author. I found her stories cool. Or you may buy copies in the bookstores nationwide. :)
