just finished the og planet of the apes book and there is so much wrong with my man ulysse merou. him and his friends get ambushed by apes and he couldn't give less of a shit about what happens to his friends bc he's too distracted by the hot human-animal girl. he wants to show his captors how intelligent he is not even so that they'll release him and help get him back home, but so that he can get a good grade in a being a test subject (something that is normal to want and possible to achieve). he appoints himself the saviour of all humanity and likens his son to christ. he falls in love with an ape. average frenchman
#'it is her soul that communes with mine' <-- normal thing to say about a chimpanzee#pota#when i watched the og movie i was like why on EARTH did taylor and zira kiss that came out of nowhere#vs the book where there's literally a point where she has to remind ulysse that she's engaged to cornelius???

the mentally ill urge to create an ancestor of peyton in the planet of the apes verse for the recent movie . the mentally ill urge to explore peyton leaving the apes after ceasar's funeral despite everything because she realises that she needs to be with humans , her own kind , because there is a loneliness that just isn't filled and can't be ignore and that the time for being afraid is over , it's not sustainable - also because someone needs to be out there spreading ceasar's word because of how crucial it is to both ape and human survival . eventually she creates a small community of peace with the help of other survivors and they continue to thrive in their own little pocket of the universe by reverting back to the first generation of humans .
#tbd.#maybe.#IM HAVING THOUGHTS IM SO ATTACHED TO HER ALREADY#im hoenstly thinkign about just makign peyton a pota oc again now its all sparking back up . i had that whole change and then switched it#ofc the cod verse is there. its just not her canon#it feels more right for her#im sure i have peytons og bio somewhere#fuckin' better anyway OISHDFOISHDFSDF

I’ve seen a few people comparing the 1968 version of Planet of the Apes to the new series and comparing the methods by which humans fell. The reason why the OG PotA movie was all about atomic bombs being the Big Bad, was because during the mid to late 1900’s, nuclear warfare was something that a lot of people feared, considering the bomb has only recently been invented, and the damage it created during WWII. The original Planet of the Apes was released in 1968, still during the time period where people greatly feared the possibility of Nuclear War.
However, nuclear and atomic bombs are built differently today compared to 100 years ago, and therefore the kind of nuclear apocalypse that the OG PotA movies portrayed isn’t as realistic as it could have been.
However, you know what is realistic in our current time? Viruses. Go back and watch the start of Dawn, and compare it to COVID. Keeping in mind the movie was released 6 years before COVID hit, yet it perfectly predicts the way COVID spread, the riots, etc.
The way Rise/Dawn was written is much more plausible in our time, than the atomic warefare written into 1968’s Planet of the Apes
#planet of the apes#kingdom of the planet of the apes#planet of the apes caesar#planet of the apes 1968#Planet of the apes 2011#rise of the planet of the apes#dawn of the planet of the apes#war for the planet of the apes#pota caesar#pota noa#pota mae#pota spoilers#pota nova#pota Proximus Caesar#proximus caesar

And since I'm in a real Planet of the Apes mood, I'm gonna share another PotA related thing- a theory for why the Gorillas in the classical series were all so aggro, given how real world gorillas actually are.
Oh, don't get me wrong- the REAL reason is because at the time the original films were made, the in-depth studies of the Great Apes conducted by Jane Goodall, Diane Fossey and Birutė Galdikas were a long ways away, and as such Gorillas were still thought of as being dangerous, savage animals based on their intimidating appearance. As such, they got relegated to the role of Soldier within the fictional society of the apes. In real life, Gorillas are actually quite peaceful (though not harmless), and actual instances of violence are quite rare. But imagine then, knowing what we know now, how it is that the gorillas of PotA wind up as soldiers and generally belligerent, in contrast to their ancestors?
Well, I got an idea for how, in-universe, that might have come to be... and it ties into them being relegated to a role they lack a natural temperament for.
To become a soldier, one needs to be conditioned to accept the idea of having to kill another person, or at the very least, the idea of using violence on other people. Training generally involves getting recruits used to this reality. Gorillas in the wild though don't have the same kind of killer instinct humans (or chimpanzees) do... oh they'll protect themselves, and they're fierce when roused, but among themselves Gorillas prefer diplomacy to violence, and even against potential threats they prefer to bluff before running out of options.
So what am I getting at? Imagine what lengths it takes to make Gorillas into soldiers/police/enforcers. Imagine what kind of toll it must take on them, to be conditioned towards swift violence when their instincts call for the opposite. I propose then that the jerkish behavior of the gorillas is a result of generations of them eventually having to unlearn their natural instincts in order to fit the role that their society has given them... and one natural consequence of this is that it leaves a very ugly mark on their psychology, and this thing has been going on for generations now.
Granted, that doesn't quite square with what we saw in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, but eh, I kind of like the idea that the OG PotA Gorillas are naturally as laid back as their wild counterparts... and that in being forced to conform to this role they selected for, it forces them to become something a lot meaner than they'd normally be.
At this point though I'm just rambling. What can I say? I love gorillas, and I even love the old stereotypes of 'vicious gorillas', and love to imagine the why of it all.

Kingdom dragged me back into the pota fandom after years of completely forgetting about it and it's become my current obsession 😭 I've literally made so many ape OCs purely because I read the og novel (for context the setting is based on the early 20th century) and was hit with the idea of flapper apes so now im literally making a google doc of all my ideas it's getting bad
APES DURING THE ROARING 20S WOULD BE SO GOOD! I’m picturing the original-era apes all in suits. Zira’s hairstyle already fits and I could see her wearing one of those cloche hats. Dr. Zaius smokes using those long cigarette holders. Making your own ocs for the era is 👌 How many have you made so far?
I feel the Google docs struggle. I have a Drive folder of all the fic ideas I have for Kingdom that I still need to either write or finish 🫠
I haven’t read the original novel yet, but I definitely plan to. The only thing I know about it, is that the 2001 Mark Wahlberg remake resembles it the most which is crazy to think about. Is the main character Taylor, Leo, or someone else entirely? I should check if my library has it available.

Codependence = Coexistence No More. HODOR.
And sooooo, this weekend's unlikely Netflix bonding with my dad is... wait for it... Love is Blind. Jusko. Wrong move because my dad was cringing but as a legit marites, hala sige. Wala na akong mahanap na iba pa kasing show or movie dahil napaka clunky ng HBO Go kahit andami kong gustong panoorin doon. He asked what the hell is up with our generation and how on earth can this series have a number of seasons. LELS.
Love is Blind is indeed a social experiment on steroids. And I really see it as "trash" content dressed to the nines. Hahahahahaha. My soul sis and I also bond over it but we don't have debriefs. And so, in our biking sesh today, I asked my dad: Ano ba ang matinong XY coming from a legit OG bossing since forever? It's actually my first time to ask him this question. He stopped dead and breathed deeply. Sabi ko naman, tanong lang 'yun. Dad knows I love trick questions so, ayun. He shared three things na aligned naman sa "mental" mental notes ko.
One, it shouldn't be all about sex. There you go. As a legit tatay na pakitong-kitong, tawang-tawa ako sa sagot n'ya na 'to. Meron pa siyang pabuga na, ang mga lalaki ganyan talaga ang gusto e, pero dapat alam niya na 'di lang 'yun ang lahat. Mag-antay siya, kung ayaw niya, 'wag, pero 'di umano, masungit talaga ako saka baliw, kaya naman, sa akin na naman nabunton lahat. Me: POTA. Unang-una talaga sa listahan. Walang bwelo.
In fairness sa character development arc ng tatay ko, when were talking about this thing, meron ng pagtanggap ng fault ng sangkalalakihan na at the end of it all, ang palay ay tinutuka ng manok. Hindi na sa sphere masyado na 'pag may palay, wala ng palag, ganern. OHHH, CHILD.
Two, ano ba pamilya n'ya? 'Di naman need na perfect daw bilang walang pamilyang perfect like our crazy fambam. Pero, dapat tanggap ng isa't isa ang lahat ng kabaliwan ng lahat ng main characters and pa-main characters.
Three, 'yung alam mong totoo siya kahit ano pa siya. At alam n'ya kung sino 'yung totoong ikaw. SHEMAYYY. HUYYYYUYY. Parang sineryoso ng tatay ko 'yung sobrang "Love is Blind" inspired question.
He added na 'yung opinyon niya na mas oks na sabay niyo tutuparin mga pangarap niyo. At alagaan n'yo ang isa't isa. Ingatan. Ganernnn. Puksaan naaaa. Lels.
My dad is really super straight-up mala-fave n'ya Jollibee 1-piece chicken joy with 1-piece burger steak. Funny how we have this conversation at this particular time. JUSKO, DHZAI.
Is love really blind? Or does it need to blind because if not, it's not love? Or is it blinding itself because it's but a delulu solulu survival coping mechanism?
Abangan.
PS1: Asari butter because ang ganda ng clams for choodaze vidyowww tapos ang mura pa ng kilo ng halaan with Hoegaarden Rosé and of course a side of pinakupsan. Less rice muna this week and the next weeks. Also, ang mahal na ng grocery ngayon, as in.
PS2: If there's one thing I like so much about this season ng Love is Blind, grabehan na rin 'yung mga amazona sa ngalan ng pag-ibig sa ilalim ng buwan. HAHAHAHA. Tapos 'yung mga lalaki in a way, karne szn na rin kasi may pasulat-sulat pa. Fave ng tatay ko 'yung "Dear Mr. Byrd..." Sabi niya may paganun-ganun pa, sus. Akala mo naman totoo sinasabi netong lalaking 'to, aba. Me: Tacca. Baka nakaka-relate much ka lang, dad. Easy.

"be the bigger person"
being the bigger person kay very loser mindset kaayo lalo na pag gina apply nimo sa tanan. for me, siguro applicable lang maging bigger person if naay change mahitabo after, or naay learning, or kanang dili na mahitabo ulit.
sa situation nako sa akong manghod kay naa lang man gud ko diri sa balay, stuck ko sa situation na makwaan ko'g makeup, mawala akong sanina, kwaan ko'g food, gamiton akong gamit. pota kinsa dili mabuang ana, unya wala koy mahimo kundi maging bigger person nalang kay bata pa siya? bata pa gani siya pero maot na og batasan, grade 11 na na, kabalo na mamiga and all. that won't satisfy me, need dyud nako mubalos hangtod kaya nako. bye

I could not resist drawing something for this series. I guess this is the offical promo. XD The title is meant to be a mix of the Planet og The Apes title and of Disney’s signature. I don’t think I did them right but they aren’t meant to look perfect anyways.
As I only wrote two one-shots on this series, allow me to explain it:
Planet of The Disney Apes is a series of humrous one-shots about our favorite PoTA characters (mostly characters from War and Dawn but characters from the original movies, the 2001 remake and from Rise may be mentioned or make appearences).
The Cast (or roles of the characters-titles may change as the series go):
Caesar - Stressed out King
Cornelia - Everybody’s Mom Friend
Bad Ape - Beloved Cinnamonroll
Rocket - Cookie Baking Master
Tinker - Damage Control
Ash - Boy Who Will Never Grow Up
Lake - Sweet as Pie, Tough as Nails
Spear - Cool Dude
Blue Eyes - Pretty Boy
Maurice - Always Reading Bookworm
Luca - Laidback Muscleman
Koba - Public Enemy Number One
Red - Registered Jerk
Winter - Bitterly Loved Cowerd
Nova - Little James Bond
Cornelius - Innocent Trouble Maker
Colonel McCullough - Evil Lunatic
Preacher - Wannabe Evil Peacekeeper
Grey - The Guy Who Says “Oh come on!”
Stone - Chilled Donut
Malcolm - Friend Bear
The Running Gags:
- Shippings. As I wanted this series to be funny and have something for everyone who reads it, I decided to include all shippings (so Caba, Caesar x Koba, Red x Winter, Caesar x Colonel McCullough and so on). All of these will be made more humorous than anything romantic-you don’t even have to take any of them seriously (such as the battle for Caesar’s love between McCullough and Koba for example).
- Bad Ape loves tea parties, Rocket bakes cookies, and Winter collects My Little Ponies. For the sake of cuteness!
- Caesar lives on coffee. Because, well, everything that happened in War.
- “Where’s the TV remote?!”. I’m not sure if this will be a recurring gag but it has been the plot of two one-shots (one of which is still being written).
- Everybody hates Disney “Everything is Disney’s fault!’’. This joke comes from Disney now owning the franchise (hence McCullough holding a Mickey plush with the head ripped off). This joke is NOT meant to offend anyone who loves and/or works for Disney and is only meant to be a nod at the concerns or mixed feelings that some PoTA fans have towards Disney owning Planet of The Apes (such as the fear that they may screw up the reboot series). This gag may change depending on what Disney plans to do with the series (meaning the attitude may become positive if any future PoTA movies live up to the reboot’s standards).
- Thade is batsh!t crazy. Remember how crazy and weird the TB remake movie was? Whenever the characters make any appearences in the series, you can expect some unique craziness.
And one more detail, no OC’s! By this, I mean I don’t include my OC’s or make OC’s for this series as I wanted it to be about the canon characters and only them. Maybe some side characters will appear (such as neighbors, police, doctors and so on) but the main focus would always be on the PoTA characters.
I will be submitting most one-shots on AO3 but some may end up on Tumblr or on DA as well.
You are also more than welcomed to write your own fanfics in this universe as well! And while I don’t use OC’s when I write in this universe, you are allowed to use yours in your own work. All I ask is remember to tag it ‘Planet of The Disney Apes’ and credit me for the universe.
Also, check out this awesome fanfic my friend @klushund wrote for Planet of The Disney Apes! https://archiveofourown.org/works/23737036

Ginoo sa Imong Nawong
And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”
— Exodus 33:19-20
Avoiding pronouncing the tetragrammaton of the name of God on the part of the church has therefore its own grounds. Apart from a motive of purely philological order, there is also that of remaining faithful to the Church’s tradition, from the beginning, that the sacred tetragrammaton was never pronounced in the Christian context nor translated into any of the languages into which the Bible was translated.
— Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, on “The Name of God”

Muingon unta siyag “Yawa kahayag,” perp qala siyay masulti. Literally. Like dili gyod siya kaistorya. Way mugawas nga pulong sa iyang baba.
Michael: Gab? Nibaba na ang tingog. Naa siya sa kwarto. Ayawg kahadlok.
Gaby: . . .
Michael: Kabalo ko nga dili ka-istorya karon. Hubua imong sapatos.
Gihubo ni Gaby iyang sapatos nga murag mao gyod to iyang dapat buhaton.
Michael: Gab, duko ra gyod. Ayaw gyod kog tan-awa.
Niduko si Gaby nga murag kanang ga-worship. Gitangtang niya iyang shades pero dili iyang helmet, rider’s gloves, ug rider’s jacket nga leather.
Nigawas si Michael sa iyang kwarto, ninaog. Naay strange nga brightness sa iyang presence. Iyang nawong, bright white light nga walay kapareha sa earth.
Gisuot balik ni Gaby iyang shades.
Mike: Gab, wala nako tuyua. I killed my parents ug akong mga igsuon. Tua sila sa pikas kwarto, akong gitaguan sa. Wala ko kabalo unsa akong buhaton.
Isaka unta ni Gabriel iyang ulo pero—
Michael: Ayawg isaka imong ulo, Gab, or mamatay sad ka.
Suddenly, para kang Gabriel, Truth to nga statement.
Mike: Gab, help me. Nitoktok akong mga igsuon sa kwarto unya pag-able nako, nangamatay silag kalit pagkita nila sa akoa. Pagkadungog ni papa sa kalampag, niadto sad siya sa may kwarto unya pagkita niya sa akoa, namatay sad siyag kalit. Si mama, nasultian pa nako, despite sa pagkawalay klaro sa mga panghitabo, nasultian pa nakog, “Ma, ay sag duol dire!” Unya pag-ingon nako ato, niluhod si mama unya naghagolgol og maayo. Unya gipang-istorya iyang mga sala. Ako unta siyang patindugon kay perte na man niyang luhod-luhod sa akoa, paggunit nako niya, namatay siyag kalit.
Gabriel: Wala ug wala gyoy mulabaw Nimo, ___ . . .
Mike: Gab!
Gabriel: ___, intawon pasaylua kos akong mga sala. Nagsugod na siyag hilak. Gitangtang niya iyang shades. Ginadokdok niya iyang ulo; maayo na lang naa siyay helmet. Wa koy katungod ug bili nga muluhod sa Imong balaan nga atubangan! Dili ko takos dire sa imong balaanong taliwala. Kahugaw nako, ___ ko!
Mike: Mugunit-dili kang Gabriel. Gab, ay pasakiti imong kaugalingon!
Gabriel: Sa unsang pamaagi ba ko mahimong angay? Dili gyod! Salamat intawon, Langitnong ___ sa imong grasya! Huyang akong bokabularyo aron masulti Imong kabalaan. Dili gyod ko takos mulitok sa Imong kabalaan! Kamakasasala ba nako! ___, kon makita ko Nimo nga angay, intawon purgahi ko sa akong mga hugaw! Ang Imong abog nga kaluoy, palasyo na alang sa akong uyamot nga kalag!
Buot pabarogon ni Mike iyang higala apan mahadlok siyang masusama kini sa nahitabo sa iayng mama.
Mike: Bai, tindog palihog! Ay kog ludhi! Dili ko ginoo, bai.
Gabriel: I don’t deserve this life, bai. Or anything! Mahal kaayo ko sa akong asawa ug I don’t deserve her! Bai, buotan kaayo ka sa akoa, and I don’t deserve your friendship, bai. Bai, buanga nako uy!
Mike: Ay pag-ana, bai.
Gabriel: Bai, gisingkahan nako akong mama sa unaha og “Hilom!” Akong papa, gipamalikasan nako—unsa kong klaseng anak, bai! Bai, wala nako gihatagan og tubig among iro bag-o ko nilakaw! Kamaot nako nga tawo!—no, dili ko tawo—ubos pa kos hayop! Ningdanguyngoy na siya.
Mike: Bai, ayaw ana, bai! Gianhi ko nimo karon! Maayo kaayo ka nga tawo, bai!
Gabriel: DILI, BAI! Dili, bai. Dili, bai. Dili, bai . . . Kung naa pay labaw sa danguyngoy, maoy hinilakan karon ni Gabriel. Nagbaha na sa sulod sa iyang helmet.
Mike: Bai, relax lang palihog.
Gabriel: Bai, 35 years of sin! Relax lang?! Sa bright light na siya nag-istorya. ___! Gahangyo intawon ko Nimo, hatagi kog kahupayan! Kang Michael. Michael, dili na nako kaya pang dalhon akong mga sala.
Mike: Gab! Ayawg buhi intawon!
Gabriel: Dili ko kadawat nga gipakauwawan nako ang ___ sa akong mga sala. HAY! Nag-panic. Bai! Naunsa na ni? Nagasagunson og play sa akong utok akong mga sala! Michael! Tabang! Kadaghan!
Gitanggal ni Gabriel ang helmet ug gidokdok iyang ulo.
Mike: . . .
Gabriel: Bai, kahuyang nako! Naglakaw ko nga sala!
Michael: Naghulat imong asawa, Gabriel. Tawagi usa.
Gikuha ni Gabriel iyang selpon. 12 missed calls. Gitawagan niya iyang asawa pero dili makontak. Nagsugod na lang siyag type. Dili ma-send.
Gabriel: Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love. Tawagi ko, Love.
Muhangad na unta si Gabriel. Apan nakahinumdom siyang dili siya takos muatubang sa nawong sa Ginoo.
Gitan-aw niya balik iyang selpon. 13 missed calls.
Gabriel: UGGGGGRHHH!
Nilingi siya sa mga naglagiting mga tanom nga nagpadayong nagkalayo apan wala nangaugdaw. Gitan-aw niya balik iyang selpon. 14 missed calls.
Gabriel: ARGGGH! Nganong dili ko ka-timing!
Wa niya lung-i og tan-aw iyang selpon. Apan napansin niya ang sumbaliksilaw sa nagkalayong tanom sa tiles sa salog. Nahinumduman niya nga basin manawag iyang asawa. Abtik siyang nilingi balik sa selpon. 15 missed calls. Nakahilak na pod siya.
Gabriel Anthony Divinagracia y Baliesteros: Michael, ngano ni?
Walay mutubag.
Gabriel Anthony Divinagracia y Baliesteros: Michael? Naa pa ka dira? Nakamatikod siyang nisaka iyang mata gamay. Nitutok siyag balik sa selpon. 16 missed calls. Nakapiyong siya sa kaguol. Gibuka niya iyang mata. 17 missed calls. Michael . . . ni niya mapugngan iyang mga luha. Ngano ni? Michael? Bai? Naa pa ka dira, bai? Please, bai.

Kwento
Sa dami na nang pinagdaanan hindi ko alam saan ko sisimulan.
Ang sabi niya magsulat ako. Susubukan ko mag kwento. Tungkol sa kanya at sa aming dalawa. May naisip na akong title. Papamagatan ‘kong “Ang Kwento nating dalawa” Sakto yun ang paborito ‘kong pelikula. Ang kwentong pinagtagpo pero hindi tinadhana. Siya nga ba ang TOTGA KO? Naalala ko nong unang matagal na break-up naming dalawa. Oo, palagi kaming nag hihiwalay pero ito na ata yung masasabi ‘kong seryoso na at wala nang balikan pa. Ang sabi ko sa sarili ko noon baka siya ang TOTGA (The one that got away). Napaka cliché, Pero totoo. Kaso bumalik siya sa buhay ko, Kaya ang sabi ko nanaman sa sarili ko noon baka siya ang TOTGA ko, (The one that God allowed) Ang korni ko talaga, Pero totoo. Ngayon? Wala na ulit kami. At ang masasabi ko nalang. Bahala na ang tadhana. Babalikan ko nalang yung mga alala, Ikukwento ko kung sino siya sa buhay ko. Philsanti, Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko siya naging friend sa fb. Ako yung tipo ng taong naalala ko kailan ako mag aaccept nang hindi ko kilala. Madalang lang kasi mangyari yun, E stalk ko muna bago ako magdedesisyon kung accept ko ba, depende sa itsura, at pinopost niya. Wag nyo ako husgahan, marami tayong ganyan. Hindi rin ako nag mahilig mag add sa fb. Lalo na kung hindi ko kilala o kahit kakilala ko man aantayin ‘kong sila mag friend request sakin kaya alam ko at natatandaan ko lahat ng nasa friendlist ko. Kaya naman nagtataka talaga ako sa kanya. Pero dahil nga alam ko sa sarili ‘kong minsan ay may time na nag aaccept ako ng hindi kakilala at bumabase sa itsura abay ibig sabihin non pasok siya sa taste ko. LOL (Hindi ko lang alam saan banda).
Hindi ko alam kung nong napapansin ko siya e yun din ba yung time na nag add siya o matagal ko na siya na friend tapos nag evolve lang kaya nakikita ko na. Madalas siya una viewer ko sa myday. Kaya lagi ko rin tinitignan profile niya.. Ano trip neto? Naghahanap din ako clear na photo niya kita yung mukha, bukod sa konti lang pictures niya at yung primary niya e nasa ilalim ng dagat/suba. Oo. Inaamin ko napapansin ko na siya at ilang beses ko na binisita yung profile niya kahit hindi pa kami magkakilala. Curious talaga ako, hindi ko alam kung bakit.Gusto ko ng sagot sa tanong na “Bakit ko siya friend sa fb?” Hanggang sa… (Jessica Soho’s Voice)
Isang drunk chat. Lasing. Gusto nang kausap. Nag-hanap nang makakausap at nakitang online si Philsanti Mantalaba Quilab Uchiha. Ang haba naman ng pangalan neto. Bakit online pa ‘to ng ganitong oras? Tsaka bakit may Uchiha yung name? Kasali ba siya sa Uchiha Clan? Siya ba si Sasuke o si Itachi? Mayroon din kaya siyang dojutsu kekkai genkai na sharingan? De joke lang.
Sa kasagsagan nang kalasingan ko. At gusto ko ng may makakausap sa kadahilanang hindi ko rin alam, ang natatandaan ko lang yun ang trip kong gawin no’ng gabing yun at siya ang napili kong pagtripan. Oo. Pag-tripan. Dahil nga siguro curious din sa kanya bakit ko siya naging friend sa facebook. Sinimulan ko siyang e chat. Hindi ko na maalala dahil nagbura ako ng mga convo namin (Spoiler Alert!) Wala tuloy ako ma backread ngayon di ko rin siya pwede itanong dahil.. Binura ko din yung convo naming nong panahong galit nag alit ako sa kanya. (Spoiler Ulit!) Oo marami na nga kasi pinagdaanan ang “Kwenton naming dalawa”. Tuloy ko muna yung kwento. Nagchat, nanghingi ako ng number niya ang sabi ko e tatawagan ko siya. May problema ata siya non at importanteng kachat kaya hindi niya ako mareplayan nga maayos at pinilit ko siya ibigay yung number niya sakin kasi nga tatawagan ko siya. (Baliw diba? Bakit ko siya tatawagan e hindi naman kami magkakilala isa pa dis-oras na ng gabi) Binigay niya yung number niya sakin, at agad ko naman tinawagan. Sobrang lakas ng loob! Hindi ko alam ano pumasok sa isip ko bakit ko nagawa yun, For the record. First time ko manghingi ng number ng lalaking di ko naman kakilala, first time ko rin na ako mismo ang unang tatawag, at makikipag-usap ng hindi ko naman ako ang sasabihin o pag-uusapan namin dahil hindi ko nga siya kilala at never naming kami nagkachat. Yun palang yung unang beses na nafgkaroon kami ng “convo” sa mga messenger namin. Oo, kahit yung “Merry Chirstmas” or “Happy new year” man lang na ramdom message kapag may okasyon. WALA. Nagkausap. Nagkakwentuhan. Hindi ko na maalala yung buong detalye. Pero isa lang ang alam ko. Sobrang daldal ko nong gabing yun at wala akong pake kung ano iisipin niya at walang ka kwenta kwenta mga pinagsasabi ko. Gusto ko lang e meron akong makakausap at makikinig sakin nong gabing ‘yon. Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras pero matagal din ata kaming nagkausap na dalawa. Hindi ko rin maikwento lahat detalye ng pag-uusap naming nong gabing yun at hindi ko alam na may dun pala mag sisimula yung kwento naming dalawa. Nagising akong sobrang sakit ng ulo ko. Halos gusto ko na basagin yung bungo ko. Nagising akong tumakbo papunta CR at magsuka. Sabay check ng fb. Dami kong post. Nakakahiya. Okay, Delete all. Nag pm sakin ang isang friend na kasama ko sa inuman. Kamusta kausap mo kagabi? Pota. May kausap ako kagabi? Sabay flashback ng iilang eksenang tumatawa nga ako na may kausap sa phone. Putcha sino yun? Check ng call logs. Tangina meron nga at number lang. “Murag imoa raba to gi-away, og gi block. Buang gyud ka” Dagdag pa ng kaibigan ko. Dun na ako kinabahan, di ko alam ano nararamdaman ko that time, Sino yun? Ano kaya pinagsasabi ko dun? Bakit ko siya inaway? Ano kaya sinabi niya sakin bakit nagalit ako?
Iniisip ko pa baka binastos na ako katagalan kaya nauwi sa away. Wala talaga akong ideya.
Napunta ako sa inbox. Ang dami niyang text at yung last text message niya e sobrang haba.
At doon ako lalo naguluhan. Sobrang na amazed ako sa text niya, Lumipat yung sakit ng ulo ko sa tiyan ko. Ano kaya ginawa ko dito? Nakaramdam ako ng hiya di ko alam ano irereply dahil wala naman talaga akong maalala. Kung ayaw ‘nyo maniwala bahala kayo.
So yun. Nagtext pa siya ng good morning. Nagreply ako. Nagkatext.
