(The Lost Souls on Tour: The Last Tour) What are the things that you are willing to do for the person that you love? Minsan, kapag nagmamahal tayo, doon na 'tin mas nakikilala ang sarili na 'tin dahil...may mga bagay pala na kaya na 'ting gawin. Love...can make us better but also bring out the worst in us. And it's risky, because we tend to hurt ourselves at the process of it. No matter how smart a person is, love can make them stupid and dumb. And for Theodosius Maximon Valdroza, no matter how smart he is, he will be foolish when it comes...to her. Smart, achiever since he was a kid, talented, competitive...but when it comes to her, his competitiveness has always been worn out if it was her who he would be his opponent. Ayaw niya na nagagalit siya sa kaniya kung siya naman ay unti-unting nababaliw rito. A young love that grows together with him. A love that makes him...selfless. Because he was always ready to give everything to her. He was always ready to do anything just to please her. He was always ready to...surrender. To love, to grow with it, to wait, to conquer...everything for her. Theo was always willing even if it meant to break him apart just for her. Because she will always be his...sweet surrender. - I do not own the book cover that I used, credit to the rightful owner. Date Started: August 23, 2024 Date Ended: May 12, 2025

Tumili silang lahat nang sabay sabay naming nakita sa bulletin board ang pangalan ko. Samantalang unti-unti namang napawo ang ngiti ko habang tinitingnan ang listahan ng mga may pinakamalaking QPI. I was sure I did so well. It isn't a question if I made the list or not because I know I will always make it. Kaya nga nakangiti na ako kanina pa dahil siguradong sigurado ako. Kaso ngayon...nawalan na nang tuluyan ang ngiti ko. Because I know that I do not hold the top spot of the dean's list, and to me...this is the worst.
