‎Akala nila buo na ang mundo nila. ‎ ‎Si Lorenzo Emmanuel Vargas, CEO, heir, and legacy bearer, ilang ulit na niyang nilibot ang mundo, nakausap ang mga taong may pangalan, at nakipagkamay sa mga desisyong bumabago ng landscape ng negosyo. Ang apelyido niya, mabigat. Ang reputasyon niya, matatag. Pero kahit anong taas ng narating, bakit tila may kulang pa rin? ‎ ‎Si Mira Ysabel Reyez, ang nag-iisang anak ng mayamang angkan sa San Roque, Negros Oriental. Sa mansyon at hacienda siya lumaki, pinuno ng prutas ang bawat anihan, pero hindi niya alam kung anong klaseng bunga ang ibibigay ng mundo sa labas. Walang karanasan sa trabaho, ni sa pag-ibig, pero may apoy sa puso niyang gustong kumawala. Hindi dahil kulang siya, kundi dahil alam niyang may mas malawak pang mundo kaysa sa paligid ng pangalan nila. ‎ ‎Sa isang dating app na trip-trip lang, nag-match ang dalawang taong hindi naghahanap. At sa isang pagkikitang hindi planado, nagsimulang mabuo ang tanong: Paano kung ang kulang sa buhay mo ay yung taong hindi mo kailanman inaasahan? ‎ ‎Sabay-sabay nating subaybayan ang kwento nina Lorenzo at Mira, dalawang taong hindi inaasahang matutuklasan na may bahagi pala sa kanilang sarili na matagal nang nakakulong... at sa isa't isa lang pala makakawala.

THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #1 Have you ever been so smitten with someone that you were just so grateful they existed? Tipong makita mo lang siya, solved ka na. Kahit hindi mo siya makausap o makasama, inspired na inspired ka. That was the case for Dawn Karsen Navarro, a die-hard fan of a prominent singer and songwriter, Dior Kobe Gallardo. Kahit pa laging General Admission ticket lang ang nabibili niya at halos kasinlaki lang ng gagamba ang natatanaw niya mula sa upuan, marinig niya lang ang boses ng binata, kuntento na siya. So, when luck pulled a trick on her poor heart, she didn't hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity. She went from being in the farthest row to being in the backstage, from seeing only a glimpse of her idol to a face-to-face encounter, and from hearing only a fraction of his life to knowing everything there was to know about him. She had made a lot of progress. But, why did she go back to being seated in the farthest row? Why did she go back to being just a mere fan? After everything they vowed, why did she go back to being a stranger in the midst of the crowd?

Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.

THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #2 Someday you'll look back on your mistakes and laugh. To name a few instances, these are those awkward first kisses you shared with your first boyfriend, those failed recitations that your classmates don't seem to forget, and those poor outfit ideas that you once thought were cute. Iyong mga dating nakakahiya, nakakainis, at masakit para sa 'yo, pagdating ng araw, ngingitian mo na lang. Maybe by then, you'll realize how much time you've invested in being too emotional.

For Amari Sloane Mendoza, it's all of the above. Among all the awkward, failed, and poor instances, falling in love with her classmate, Leon Ysmael Zamora, is the only mistake she can't laugh about.

A lonely boy who's longing for someone found himself falling in love and risking his heart after deciding to join his childhood friend's band. *** With a dead father and an always busy mother, Vasily Jiang Vagankov is always left alone at home. Loneliness wasn't an issue at first, but when his childhood friend got distant, he was forced to deal with his own monsters that were slowly eating him up. It didn't even help that, because of his stupidity, his schoolmates found out he's gay, and thus the bullying began. Bruised and scratched everyday, Vasily wanted to ask for help but was constantly stopped by the idea of burdening someone and being embarrassed about who he really is. But, in the midst of dealing with his bullies, his sexuality crisis, and the fact that his family, especially his mother, is homophobic, his life took a new turn when he learned that his now-distant childhood friend's band was looking for a new guitarist. The help he's been wanting arrived in front of him in the form of a saint -- a handsome lead guitarist, Saint Laurent Seong. Will he finally be able to get out of the hole in which he's living and shout for help or will he be afraid forever? *** TRIGGER WARNINGS AHEAD. PLEASE READ WITH PRECAUTION.
