Work always comes first—says who?
A modern fairy-tale set in the pulsating vortex of humanity that is Tokyo, this is the story of Ken and Ana—two people who have always seen their careers as the be all and end all of their existence.
He’s cool and mysterious, sought-after by many, one of the hottest A-list actors in Japan. However, his profile could possibly nosedive when the press finds out that his high-profile girlfriend ended their relationship on the night he was set to propose.
She’s a Filipina physicist who spent her whole life trying to carve out a career for herself in a competitive, male-dominated, scientific world. On her 32nd birthday, she finally takes a step back to evaluate her life’s direction. She decides that this year is the year she’ll finally capture the heart of the research associate she’s secretly loved for ages.
Let’s leave it up to fate—even the best-laid plans go awry when the paths of two very different people suddenly collide. Sometimes people search their whole lives for a happy-ever-after. The lucky people are those who realize what's in front of them and never let it go. ;-)

woooow...good thing you left a message in my blog, otherwise i would have not discovered your blog. galing...hehehe i shall be a follower...hanap muna ako ng time...dami na parang na sulat dito...mukhang exciting itong love story na ito ehehhe

oooh, exciting! I like the Overview. Makes me think of what Japanese actor I'd like to end up with :P Doesn't necessarily have to be A-list :D
hi anne, thanks for dropping by ;-) its lovely to dream about it no? there are a lot of yummy japanese actors out there. heehee
this is something different! I love reading novels and now I can read them in blogs too! One thing I like is I can only read up to the chapter you write -- coz I have this bad habit of staying up late to finish one book (or read the ending first before reading the whole story :(
love the idea! will start with chapter one very soon.
hahaha! glad you find it interesting emarene ;-) hope masubaybayan mo ;-)
Thanks for dropping a note!
My older son is a big fan of any Japanese, from anime to music; he even wants to study the language! ("Ma, can you get me a Rosetta Stone?"" Anak, I will if you will end up being an exchange student to Japan or will establish your career there.Otherwise, save up your money to get Rosetta Stone to learn Japanese language.")
I will share this link with him.
