TRAILER
THE BOOK
This was the first story that Athena wrote. She wrote this after reading Alyloony's story "Break the Casanova's Heart Operation" (BTCHO), which was later published as a pocket book and was renamed as "Operation: Break the Casanova's Heart". She said she was inspired and was amazed because she never thought that imaginations could be this beautiful and creative.

She said she was inspired and was amazed because she never thought that imaginations could be this beautiful and creative.
"I have always thought that I couldn't create a nice story out of my imagination. Then I read her story. Then I said to myself, 'Hey! If she could write something amazing like this just from her imagination, then why can't I?' And then I realized, I could do it too."
When asked why she created this story and how does she feel about it, she replied:
"Nabitin ako eh. Sobra. Ayun, gumawa tuloy ng sariling storya ang utak ko. At first, with the first impression, they were like alike --- Both stories have lead characters that are playboy slash casanova, and a boyish nerd. Akala ko nga nung una walang mangyayari kasi parang cliché nung story ko at parang nakadikit lang ito sa anino ng story ni Ate Aly. But somehow, I managed to get off it and create something original. And I'm happy I did."
MAIN CHARACTERS
"I may not be liked by everyone, but surely, I am loved by some for being me.. And I didn't expect that that 'some' to be someone I kinda hate." She is the tomboyish nerdy girl that this heartthrob is prying on. She is an only child in a dysfunctional family. During the story time frame, she is living with her cousins and her pet cat. Her mother is not shown nearly throughout the story because as Andrea and Alex mentioned, she is a busy woman, always working hard to make more money for Andrea and her cousins' needs.
She is a strong and brave, innocent girl who lacks confidence in herself. But as the story progresses, it is shown that she is able to build up her self-confidence to the point that she even praises herself. Later on the story, she is shown to had developed a fierce personality, though at some times, she could be rather childish and irrational, like most girls of her age. Her family calls her in her second name, "Mae", and her friends call her in her nickname, "Andy". Though in their first and most sensible conversation, Eric created a new nickname for her. From then on, he started to call her as "Rea". |
"Hindi! Hindi ako papayag! I'm a legendary heartthrob, playboy, casanova! And no one's gonna stain that image! ... I'll show them. No one's gonna escape the charms of the so called campus playboy!... Not even the likes of her." He is the notorious, overly confident, self-assured, campus heartthrob and playboy who flings and dates every girl he knows. Even up to the point of having more than one girlfriend at once. He's always busy because his daily life is filled with is date schedules with his girls. He doesn't court girls because they are the ones that go running after him. Thus, making things more easier for him. He has never fallen in love for even for the sexiest, prettiest, and very attractive and seductive girls. It would always end up the other way around. They fall for him.
Though considered a bad boy, he doesn't bring his girls in his condo and doesn't sleep with any of them. He is perceived by everyone as The Perfect Dream Guy because of his superiority in almost everything --- looks, personality, attitude, skills, talents, fortune, and all. He's regarded as the master of seduction and an expert in the game called 'Love'. |
"Magiging okay rin ang lahat. Maybe not now, not tomorrow, but definitely someday, it would be all right." She is a popular school gymnast, and the best friend of Andrea and Mitch.

"Hindi makakaalis lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman mo kung isasara mo forever ang pintuan ... You need to open up." She is the happy-go-lucky cheerleader and is the cousin slash best friend of Andrea and the younger sister of Alex. Just like Alice, she is a loud, fun, and crazy girl that also love boy-hunting, the difference is that she is more blunt and harsh with her words. She rarely refrains from acting and speaking her mind, making her prone into arguments and fights. She has a strong personality and pride.
On the contrary, she could also be compassionate and caring to people around her. Just like other people, she could be irrational at times especially when her emotions overwhelm her. Though she always join Alice in her boy-hunting sessions, she has no particular love interest and treats everyone equally. Though, this changed over time. |
"I will protect everyone I love, no matter what it takes.. I can't lose anyone anymore.. I've already lost enough..." He is the cousin slash best friend of Andrea and the older brother of Mitch. He is four years older than the rest of them, except for Maxine.
Since he is left alone to watch over his younger sister and cousin in his early teens, Alex developed a fatherly personality.

He is taking the course BS Administration in the same university as the other characters are in. He has an unspoken affection for Maxine, a fellow block-mate. |
"What can I do?.. I have to fight for what I feel. Wala naman akong maling ginagawa... Diba?" Like Eric, he is also a popular heartthrob and is the love interest of Andrea. He is a smart, cool, and a pretty serious guy yet, he cracks jokes, participates in teasing his friends, and smiles often. Even though girls always get close to him, he doesn't really mind them at all, but still stays nice to them. He is the MVP of the soccer team of their university. He has a secret special affection for Andrea, although he isn't able to figure it out immediately.
|
"It's more honorable to accept failure than to win by cheating." He is the transfer student who enrolled late in our characters' university. He is a very silent, very confident, serious type of bookworm, and most of the time, emotionless. He has a dry sarcastic wit with a high irritability and doesn't really smile that often. In spite of the fact that he doesn't often smile, he usually smiles as a reply to someone's statement.
He is gifted with outstanding skills in music especially in playing guitar and violin, in fencing, and an extraordinary intelligence. This is proven during the inter-school sports competition when he easily score over his opponents in a blink of an eye. Alice also mentioned that she never saw him study and even sleeps during the five-minute review before examinations. Lawrence is shown to be proud of his intelligence when he talked back once to a professor who is embarrassing Andrea for not listening to his lessons. |
"I may fall down every once in a while, but I can always pick myself up and bounce back to life higher.. better... and STRONGER THAN EVER!" She is a block-mate, and the main love interest of Alex. Being four years older than the rest of the group, she has quite a maternal attitude. Together with Alex, she cares, nurtures, and strengthens the bond of the group.
She is a refined, courteous, sweet, and a not so talkative girl but smiles a lot. But just like other girls, she could be irrational at times when her emotions overwhelm her. |
