(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.

OVERDRIVE #1 According to Google, burnout is more than just a fleeting feeling of stress. It is a state caused by prolonged, unmanaged pressure that leads to a profound sense of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. It thrives in toxic environments fueled by unfairness, poor treatment from the people around you, and a total lack of recognition despite everything you do to make them accept you. It is a deeper state of depletion that strips away your light, leaving you hollow. Once you are full from keeping it all in, you will eventually be triggered by a single circumstance. A breaking point that forces you to drop everything you love in exchange for the only thing left to find: peace.

(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.
