(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.

(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
