LOGINJOYA ANGELA had been a daddy's girl eversince. She would rather join her dad in playing basketball, golf or billiards than accompany her mom to salons and spa centers. She knows very well that she's different; thus, she has a low self-esteem. Avoiding and insulting people have become her defense mechanism against insecurities so she grew up without many friends. She was in first-year college when she met Karylle, her exact opposite. Unlike her boyish personality, Karylle is every inch a lady, plus the fact that she has many suitors. Her only flaw is being a weirdo — because she is a die-hard believer of intruders better known as 'aliens.' Joya never likes any of Karylle's activities. Just hearing about her stories can already spoil her day. But what if the day comes that she meets and falls in love with an alien, herself? Will she choose to ignore the feeling and just forget it, or will she allow herself to love and experience the magical moment of being in love? On the other hand, will it be possible for a creature like Time, to also fall for her?

IT WAS EXACTLY NINE IN THE EVENING, three hours after they had arrived there, when Joya saw Ms. Aguila and the two men with her go to the center of the camp. A bonfire was burning in the middle of their group of tents but not much wood was thrown in because they weren’t going to use it for too long.
THE Travellers’ flight to Davao was scheduled at eleven o’clock in the morning which was why they arrived at their destination before two in the afternoon. They were 13 in total, including Ms. Aguila and two men in their late forties. These two were also financers of the Travellers, according to Karylle.
