AEGGIS Series# 1 (WATTY'S 2015 TALK OF THE TOWN WINNER) Stanley Montreal - AEGGIS' Drummer

AEGGIS Series #2 - Athan Falcon AEGGIS' Lead Guitarist First sight. First smile. First song. First kiss. First night. All of your firsts come only once in your life. Ireserba mo ito para sa taong karapat dapat sa kaunaunahan mo. Matuto kang maghintay, kahit gaano pa iyon katagal. You should endure, because endurance is the name of the game when you fall inlove. Unang kita pa lang ni Leria kay Athan, napagtanto na niya na ang lahat ng una niya ay ibibigay niya sa binata. He was her first love. Iyong lalaking nakakapagpawelga sa mga paruparo sa kanyang bituka. Iyong lalaking laging laman ng iyong panaginip. Iyong lalaking iniisip mong magiging kapareha mo habang buhay.Pero hanggang kailan mo kayang maghintay sa isang bagay na hindi naman sigurado? Hanggang kailan ka aasa kung alam mo namang wala kang aasahan? Up to what extent will you fool yourself on believing on fairytales? The world is not a manufacturer of dreams. Hindi lahat ng pangarap mo ay natutupad. May mga taong gusto lang makuha ang una mo, pero hindi nila aangkinin ang panghuli mo. May mga taong iiwanan ka lamang kapag dumating na ang orihinal. May mga taong itatapon ka na kapag hindi ka na kailangan. You are useless. You have surrendered your first. Karapat dapat nga bang ipaglaban ang una kung sa simula pa lang, talo ka na? Will you face a losing battle? Will you let the man who conquered your first take your last?

AEGGIS Series#3 - Ethan Falcon - AEGGIS' Bass Guitarist Baseball. Volleyball. Soccer. Tennis.Monopoly. Taguan. Maraming laro sa mundo. Kapag nanalo ka, maswerte ka. Kapag natalo ka, tanggapin mo at lumaban ka na lang ulit. Lahat ng laro may batas. Lahat ng laro may kalaban. But there is one game Avvi is sure she can win even with her eyes closed. In the game of love, the first one to fall is the loser. Alam ni Avvi yun. She knows the rule of the game. She knows how to win this thing. Ang laro ng pag-ibig ang laro na laging napapanalo ni Avvi. Ang laro ng pag-ibig ang pinakagamay niyang laro sa mundo. Kiss. Hugs. Sweet-nothings. Avvi knows everything is just a scheme for a heartbreak. Guys will only want you because you are a challenge. Girls will like you because you are an eye-candy. Nothing is ever true in the game of love. She knows that. Kaya nga noong nagpustahan sila ng bahista ng AEGIS na si Ethan ay pumayag siya. Alam niyang siya ang mananalo. Alam niyang hindi siya mahuhulog. "You'll make my brother fall for you. I'll make you fall for me. Unahan tayo." Because in the game of love, losing is never an option. Winning is never a possibility.

Sometimes letting go is less painful than holding on. An addiction can only be cured by withdrawing. Kapag sobra na ay tigilan. Kapag masakit na ay huminto na. Kapag hindi na kaya ay bumitaw na.

*edited* According to Greek Mythology, a human is made of two heads, two hearts and two brains. Fearing their power, Zeus split them up and condemned them to spend their whole life in search of their other half. According to the legend, everyone of us is just a piece of someone who is greater, someone who is better, someone who is...MORE. Pero paano mo nga bang masasabi na siya na ang kahati mo? How can you know if the one infront of you is your soulmate already? Where is the assurance that the love felt is already the love that is sent from the heavens above? How can you know that she is your other half? How can you be so sure that he is your other piece? Sometimes, fate can weave its own magic and cast it upon us. A deep rooted love is meant to sacrifice. A real love will always give way. Kahit na ikaw pa ang masaktan. Ikaw ang magsasakripisyo para sa pagmamahal mo sa kahati mo. You will sacrifice for your other piece. Because that is what it is. Love is a sacrifice. No matter how painful it is.

Dark Series #1 "Every game has a story." *** Our life is a game. Each of us has our way on how to play it. Some want it to be as simple as possible, while some endeavor for a much higher goal. But we may have different methods to play it, there's still one thing we have in common... we all have a goal. Maddy Grilliard is one of us. She has a whole clear future hovering in her head, a solid invisible line she just needs to follow, and a goal to must achieve. A hopeful girl that is bound to get confused. Unfortunately, not all of us can figure out what we want in an instant. That's the most challenging part of living, looking for a purpose. That's where Rocky Brecken belongs. A lonely boy walking alone in the darkness, looking for a space in this crowded universe. A lost soul that is soon to be found. This is the story of two different players colliding in one adventure. But, what if their differences start to interfere with the supposed to be fun adventure? Will they make it to the finish line?

After years of suffering torment and abuse, Amira ends up in the home of Minerva Harden, a single mother of twin boys living in the countryside. The Hardens are not a perfect family, but it is the most comfortable place she has ever been. Over time, she slowly embraces her life again as she starts to feel affection for them. However, that comes with the strong fear that once they discover the truth about her, she may lose them or, worse, they may change the way they see her. To stay and dare to see if love is enough to keep them or leave and save herself from devastation, Amira has to decide which path to take, for it is only a matter of time before her secrets start to surface.
