(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

(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.

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 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.

(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 First Tour) Reed Gustave Argyros was born with an embodiment of rock and roll, and music running in his veins. 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. He will get her, he will own her. And he is sure that he can succeed. Gustave was confident that he will get everyone under his control. Sensuous, sexy, and hot. He even got the looks, the body, the voice, and the chivalry that could make every woman fall onto their knees. But when it comes to her, he suddenly feels insecure. Isang sulyap, hindi na muling nasundan. Isang salita, hindi na muling napansin. One question made Gustave ponder if there is still something lacking in him. Gustave isn't a fan of giving up. Thus, he will do anything to make her notice him, to make her know him. Ngunit hindi lahat ng bagay aayon sa gusto niya. Years had passed, and he had gone unnoticed. Imbis na magsawa, lalong nahulog. Ngunit mananatili na lang ba siyang nakatingin mula sa malayo? Wala na ba talaga siyang pag-asa? When he will be noticed? When she will know him? Will she ever know him? - [Grammatical Errors, Typo Errors, and Loopholes ahead.

Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022
