(The Lost Souls on Tour: The Fourth Tour) What is real in this world? May katotohanan nga ba sa mundo'ng puno ng kasinungalingan? Mga tawang madaling mapeke, ngiting kay daling iukit sa mga labi, luhang tumulo ngunit emosyo'y peke, pagmamahal na akala'y liwanag ngunit sa dilim naman pala'y namamalagi. Everything can be fake and when you know that, you can't even trust one thing in this world because of the possibility that it was all just a lie. Even though we tried to look at it in a positive way, we can never change the fact that everything can be...a lie. And it's hard...to trust. Andrius Joseff Romano is the playful bassist of Lost Souls. After the downfall of the band, the things that he can only do is meddle in his school and house. The school where peals of laughter are all fake, a house where love is all lie. Sa kabila ng mga ngiti, mga birong sinasambit, may dilim sa emosyong kinukubli. Paano kung ang buhay na mayroon siya, kasinungalingan lang pala? Paano niya matatakasan ang reyalidad? Paano makakaligtas sa dilim? Kung pati ang liwanag na akala niya'y nagtatanging tunay, kasinungalingan din? What if the person who he was with as he gets lost in the reality of lies was also just...a liar? - I do not own the book cover that I used, credit to the rightful owner.

(The Lost Souls on Tour: The Third Tour) Perfection, does this word truly exist in this world? O baka isang salitang pinipilit na 'tin na magkatotoo kahit na pagbali-baliktarin pa ang mundo, hinding-hindi magagamit ang salitang perpekto sa kahit ano mang aspeto. Almost perfect could exist but perfect is something beyond to even measure. And that is because the world has always seen Suriel Zephyrus Avila as the perfect man who could ever exist. Simula pa lang sa itsura hanggang sa talento, he could be really named as a man of perfection. But one thing could break the word perfection when it comes to his attitude. He barely speaks yet he never lies. Something that people could hate the most about him. He says what he wanted to say and he will do it directly right at your face, hurting your feelings up until to your ego. He never lies even though his words could hurt you. Hindi siya nagsisinungaling, he hates lying so much... Or does he really don't? Kahit kailan hindi hiniling ni Suriel ang perpektong buhay na mayroon siya. He only wants his guitar and a pillow to sleep rather than being praised by the others. He never likes that... Ngunit isang bagay ang sisira sa takbo ng buhay niya. One unexpected phenomenon that made his life turned upside down. Ang mga ngiting hindi inakalang uukit sa mga labi, unti-unting nabura at dinala ng lakas ng agos ng luha. Ang tamis ng halik na siyang naging palatandaan ng walang hanggang pangako, magiging halik na lamang sa hangin na lilipad sa mga pangakong kahit kaila'y hindi na matutpad pa... Ang tag-araw hindi na naging katulad pa ng dati para kay Suriel. Ang mga alaala'ng kahit pilit kalimutan, kung ang panahon na mismo ang magiging palatandaan, kahit ano pa'ng pilit hinding-hindi na mabubura pa. Because from the day that he lost her, his every summertime turned into sadness. - I do not own the book cover that I used, credit to the rightful owner.

(The Lost Souls on Tour: The Second Tour) Wants; are something that can drive us to do everything in order to have what we desire. People frequently remark: that if you want something, you must work hard for it. Pero paano kung may mga taong una pa lang, kayang-kaya nang makuha ang mga bagay na gusto nila nang hindi pinaghihirapan? With one lift of a finger, they can already take a grasp of the things that they desire, something that other people envy the most. And that is the case for Rhysand Amias Trevino. With a golden spoon in his mouth, he can always get all the things that he desires--from securing a position in a band, being the captain ball of the basketball team, fame, alcohol and cigarettes, parties, to girls who will do anything just to please him. Walang hirap, puro sarap. Even in school, he barely attends his classes just to do the things that he likes. Dahil para sa kaniya, ano pa ba ang halaga ng buhay kung hindi mo naman gagawin ang mga bagay na magpapasaya sa 'yo? Kung hindi mo naman makukuha ang mga bagay na gusto mo? Pero minsan, kahit anong kakayahan ang mayroon ka pa, kung ang isang bagay ay hindi itinadhana na maging sa 'yo, hinding-hindi mo makukuha. Being greedy is something that Rhys has been sporting since he was born in this world. But when it comes to her, he learned to be selfless. He never thought he would end up wanting something that could put him in a place where he has to let go of all the things that he has in his life. Pero kahit anong gawin mo, may laban ka pa ba kung siya na mismo ang may ayaw sa 'yo? May magagawa ka pa ba kung siya na mismo ang umalis sa buhay mo? Rhys had no idea that he will find his demise in his own salvation. He had no idea that one day, he will just find himself shedding tears under the rain as he watch her leave him carrying his soul...carrying his heart. - I do not own the book cover that I used, credit to the rightful owner.

He believes that his passion for music is the sole thing that only matters to him after his mother died. Yet, with one glimpse of her obsidian orbs where the darkness conceals, Gustave had no idea that her gaze would be his demise. If love at first sight doesn't exist, then why did Gustave sense the unknown throbbing of his heart from the minute the ocean touched the darkness? Wala na, alam na niyang nahulog na siya. Who wouldn't anyway? Kaya nga gagawin niya ang lahat upang pati ang kadiliman, mahulog din sa asul na dagat. Hindi siya papayag na siya lang ang nababaliw rito. One-sided love? Hell no.

Student Series 3: Filipino Time Punctuality seems less important in a society where being late is viewed as a negative yet normal culture. Some students grow up exercising Filipino Time habit that silently expresses impoliteness and disrespect to the time of the person they would be meeting. Eulalie Foinnuala knows the value of time since childhood, thus she always arrives earlier or just on time. Alam niya na ang mga kamay ng orasan ay gumagalaw at ang oras ng buhay niya ay nababawasan.

Or just like she always does, she would keep waiting... until she cuts the last string of her life?

Student Series 2: "Bahala Na" Attitude 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 Manifesting a fatalistic attitude is nearly a norm inside a classroom and is often practiced by students who have lost their will or do not have any will at all to make a change in their life. They submit themselves to the Higher Being or anyone superior to them through tough times. Bahala na si Lord. Bahala na si Batman. Bahala na; babagsak din naman. Bahala na; at least tapos na. Aspasia Estiana was naturally born to be competitive for a reason so this kind of philosophy and bad habit is a blur in her dictionary. Alam niya ang sariling kakayahan at hindi siya kuntento sa 'puwede na' kung kayang higitan pa. Hindi puwedeng basta 'bahala na' kung may mababago pa. In fact, she can secure her valedictorian award if only not these two geniuses have to transfer in her school and overtake her place. But instead of feeling threatened, she sees them as some worthy academic rivals. Finally.

Little does she know, saving him a spot in her heart means taking her life into the pit of devastation.

Student Series 1: The Mañana Habit 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 Delaying tasks is one of the constant poor practices of some students, and cramming is their last hope to atone for their unwise decision. Procrastinators live by the motto: If it is not the due date, it is not the do date. Eleftheria Isra is one of the great examples. She loves deadline hence working in full swing to beat the clock is her favorite habit. Bukod sa hindi madaling tigilan ang isang bagay na nakasanayan, mahirap din para sa kanya ang pigilan ang nararamdaman sa isang tao na hindi niya inakalang balang araw ay kanyang magugustuhan. A real smart cookie with a heart of gold puts her into a heated pan, melting her softly like a butter and stirring it with love. Could this person help her understand that making things ahead of time is always better than putting them off? Or, after making him feel loved and important, would she still do something that deliberately breaks a soft heart that it is too late for her to realize?

Mahirap kalaban ang nakaraan. Bukod sa hindi na mababalikan, nakatatak na rin ito sa kasaysayan. They say history speaks for itself. It sparks a preview of the present and a foretaste of the future.

Pinakamatinik sa Engineering Department. He's got the looks, the body, and the personality to swoon every girl's heart.
