Allah ke siwa har muhabbat ko zawaal hai.

Kyunke har muhabbat ki ibtidah Allah se hai. Tumhein muhabbat ke laiq bhi usi ne banaya. Tumhein muhabbat karna bhi usi ne sikhaya.

To jisne tumhein muhabbat se bnaya aur phir tumhein usi sift se nawaza, uski jagah tum kisi aur ko kaisey de saktey ho?

Insan ho na, ghalti ka putla bhi usi ne banaya, Jab vo tumse tumhari pasandeeda cheez leleta hai to vo tumhein majbur kardeta hai ke tum sirf usi ki muhabbat ke kail hojao.

Aur phir kehta hai,

Ae Ibn Adam, bol. Tera mere siwa koi hai?

Worldbuilding in Five

I was tagged by @kaylinalexanderbooks ! Thank you!

So last time I introduced you all to Labisa, the birthplace of Ninma and where Narul spent most of his early life (he was actually born in the city of Syshlum). For this round I will introduce you to the birthplace of Ninma's cousin, Akard.

The City of Nashawey, the Jewel of the Putla.

I hope y'all are ready for a lot of lore dumping, this is more a history of Apuna as a whole rather than just Nashawey.

Nashawey (Apunian Nashases = Royal name, Wey = City/Village) is the largest city in both the land of Apuna and the entire continent of Pyritia. Its population is roughly equivalent to that of Labisa in Kishetal, though the city itself is less densely populated and covers a far larger area. The city sits at the southern edge of the Putla Delta, where the great river forks into Dja, Wadi, and Bus. The fertile and reliable nature of the Putla has allowed Nashawey and by extension the kingdom of Apuna to retain a level of prosperity and stability unmatched among the other cultures of the Green Sea. A Fapacha has ruled from the throne of Nashawey, or else from one of the neighboring cities, uninterrupted for approximately 4,300 years (save for a 30 year interruption in which a Namutian successfully seized the Apunian throne, the Namutian Dynasty has been almost entirely erased from all records and history), representing the reigns of 223 rulers (189 Men, 34 Women).

The Apunians are among the oldest civilizations in the world and their origins are linked to the confluence of several prehistoric populations.

After the events of the Calamity and the subsequent destruction of 92% of all human life and the complete destruction of all non-subterranean settlements, most surviving humans dwelled within the mountain sanctuaries of a number of kindly spirits over a period of roughly 300-500 years.

The Apunian culture has roots in three of these mountain populations, the Red Cedars, The Babics, and The Pyrians in addition to several southern Pyritian populations. This also means that the Apunians are distantly related to not only their Pyrian neighbors but also the original inhabitants of the Kishic Peninsula.

The first people to inhabit the land that would later become Apuna were primarily hunter-gathers. These tribes and bands were highly spiritual and interacted regularly with spirits and had dealings with the various beasts and monstrosities which shared their environment. At that time the region was far more lush than it now is, and supported great herds of fauna and a startling array of plant life. It is in this era that the first inklings of the later Apunian medicinal, cosmetic, and potion-making tradition were developed. Climatic changes gradually dried up the plains and marshes of northern Pyritia, in time forming the sweeping Kusr Desert.

These changes forced the gradual separation of the Hunter-Gathers into distinct groups. The Peri peoples traveled west, settling on the strip of land between the Pyrian Mountains and the Green Sea Coast, they are the ancestors of the modern Pyrian tribes.

Others ventured south mixing with southern populations, either embracing a desert lifestyle or settling along the eastern plains and coast of Pyritia, these groups, collectively called the Namutians and Aguru.

A small group took to the sea, settling on the island of Knosh.

The last and largest group settled on the banks of the Putla River, where the verdant environment of the Pre-Desert era was preserved. These Proto-Apunians quickly adopted an agricultural lifestyle, forming some of the first wide-scale settlements in the Green Sea Region.

These Proto-Apunians were composed of four distinct kingdoms or "Namu", each ruling one branch of the Putla; these branches now bear their names; Dja, Wadi, Bus, and Putla.

Feuds between the rulers (Pachas) of these kingdoms was commonplace. 400 years of near constant warfare and bickering between these lands would end with the imperialistic ambitions of the ruler of Putla, a man by the name of Nabur. Nabur, alongside his beloved son, Nashases, would lead an attack on the other three Namu, with intention of conquering them and thus uniting the Apunian people.

At the Battle of the Fork, Nabur and Nashases clashed against the other three kingdoms, and though outnumbered it is said that Nabur had earned the divine approval of not only the governing spirits of the River but of the Gods themselves. Legend tells how the river itself rose from its bed and swept away the Pachas of the other kingdoms. This story may actually have some grain of truth as it certainly does seem that the Fapacha is closely associated with the spirits of the river, just one source of the throne's great authority.

While victory was won for the Putla it came at a great price. Nashases was slain in the conflict. Heartbroken, Nabur buried his son where he fell, ordering the construction of a massive underground complex. In order to protect his son's body from desecration he then built his own palace atop his grave. The city of Nashawey or the city of Nashases, spread out from there.

Nabur named himself the first Great Pacha or "Fapacha" and dubbed his newly united kingdom, Apuna, which stems from the Apunian word Apna which is roughly translated to "Unity through Duty."

The Fapacha and his line is believed to be divinely ordained and Apunian faith dictates that upon their death, Fapachas will join the divine council held responsible for the judgment of the dead.

The greatest symbol of royal power in Fapacha is the Royal Scepter. Made from meteoric iron, mahogany, gold, and most importantly; Arkodian Bronze, the exact origin of the snake shaped weapon is unclear, that it was first held by the 10th Fapacha, Ankuwet. In addition to being made from such precious materials, the weapon houses a fire spirit, allowing its user to conjure flame at will. It is among the last remnants of an ancient tradition among the peoples of the Green Sea for royalty to pass down magical weapons. This staff gives the Fapacha one of their aliases, The Lord of Fires.

Apunian civilization is almost entirely confined to the shores of the Putla river, with the desert being only very sparsely occupied by nomadic groups.

Following in the tradition of Nashases, Fapachas are renowned for their massive underground tombs, called Djawda. Labyrinth-like mazes carved into the stone of the desert are meant to deter robbers from breaching the tombs. Often these tombs include artificial rivers and depictions of the night sky. Hundreds of workers are required to excavate these huge structures.

Every major city in Apuna contains at least one palace, meant to act as the residence of the Fapacha and his family when visiting. Apunian palaces are relatively small compared to their neighbors to the north, however they are no less luxurious. It is common practice for new Fapacha to dismantle and reconstruct palaces to better suit their own preferences after taking the throne. The grand palace at Nashawey is the one exception. The palace at Nashawey is unique in that it is primarily constructed from stone rather than mudbrick.

The largest structure in Nashawey, is the famed Gateway. This massive structure stretches across the Putla River where it acts as a sort of tollbooth but also as a defensive structure. The Gateway was constructed by the Fapacha Rutamatep five-hundred years before the events of The Testaments of the Green Sea. The gate itself is composed primarily of sandstone and marble with heavy gilding on its columns. Carvings depict various stories and battles from both the Fapacha who ordered its construction and his successors. It is not unusual for Fapacha to have the carvings of their predecessors chiseled away in order to make room for their own pieces. The Gate is the first thing that visitors see upon entering the city.

Nashawey is home to 45 temples, which double as administrative centers, the largest of which is dedicated to the god, Nur. The all male priesthood of Nur, the god of agriculture and the divine seed, are forbidden from marriage or intercourse with one exception; they may marry and sleep with each other. Marriages of the Priests of Nur are treated as religious events, with both priests dressing in the garb of the God.

Apunian fashion is very bright and colorful, most Apunians wear at least one kind of jewelry. Gemstones are very popular in Apuna, especially as a part of jewelry and woven into clothing and hair-beads. Apunians are also the only major power in the Green Sea that regularly utilizes makeup/body paint. Cosmetics (as well as perfumes) are a major industry in Nashawey. Additionally Apuna is renowned for just how much gold it uses and has access to, even poorer Apunians are likely to have at least one golden bauble. It is said that even an Apunian beggar will sparkle in the sunlight. Most clothing in Apuna is made of colored linen, Apunians are famous for just how vibrant their dyes are. Textiles, alongside grain, are the biggest Apunian exports. 

The city lacks the great defensive walls of Kishite cities as in a sense, the desert acts as a wall in and of itself, thus why the Gateway defends the river.

Apuna is famed not only for the skill of its plantbrews, but also its sages. As a result the city of Nashawey has entire districts entirely dedicated to these professions. Apunian potions and medicines are widely viewed as the best in the Green Sea.

Aside from the palace the city is divided into 45 separate neighborhoods or districts, each of these districts is constructed around a temple/administrative center to which taxes are distributed.

Ne mutlu bize ya, ne mutlu bize! Çünkü Rabbimiz Allah. İyi ki Rabbimiz Allah. İti köpeği veya ineği rabbimiz kabul etseydik ne acınası halimiz olurdu! İyi ki Allah Rabbimiz. Bizi duyuyor, bizi anlıyor, bizi görüyor, her şeye gücü yetiyor, her şey O’nun. Ne güzel Rabbimiz var!

Bir putu da rab edinebilirdik. Duymayan, görmeyen, kendisine faydası olmayan, dualara icabet edemeyen, tövbeleri kabul edemeyen, kimseye güç yetiremeyen bir puta da tapıyor olabilirdik. Ama elhamdulillah öyle değil. Rabbimiz Allah diyoruz ve mutlu oluyoruz. Elhamdulillah.

Gözyaşlarımızın sebebini bilen, gönlümüze ferahlık veren, ayağımıza batan dikenle günahlarımızı silen, yapamasak bile niyetimize sevap veren, hanımımızın ağzına koyduğumuz lokmaya ecir yazan bir Rabbimiz var ya! İyi ki Rabbimiz Allah ya! Yoksa ne yapardık itle, inekle, putla.

Dara düşen kuluna çıkış yolları gösteren, şımaran kuluna azma diyen, kaderimizi en güzel şekilde yazan bir Rabbimizin olması ne güzel. Dua ederken “acaba Rabbimin buna gücü yeter mi” düşünmeden dua edebiliyor olmak ne güzel. Rabbimiz Allah olduğu için böyle dua edebiliyoruz.

Ya hiç inanmasaydık, ya bir erkeği veya kadını Rab edinmiş olsaydık, ya bilimi putlaştırsaydık. Ne acınası bir akıbet olurdu. Ne tutarsızlıklar, ne yaman çelişkiler olurdu. Allah hariç rab edineceğimiz her şeyden başımız belaya girerdi. Sadece ahirette değil, dünyada da.

İnandığın Rabbinden şüphe etmemek ne büyük nimet. Biliyorsun ki neylerse güzel eyler. En hikmetlisinin, en doğrusunun O’nun yaptıklarının, O’nun emrettiklerinin, O’nun yasakladıklarının olduğu bilmek ve tereddüt etmemek, acaba dememek ne büyük nimet. İyi ki Allah bizim Rabbimiz!

Rab olarak Allah’tan razıyız biz. Verdiklerinden de vermediklerinden de razıyız. Yasakladıklarından da emrettiklerinden de razıyız. Günahlarımız dağları aşmış olsa da O’ndan ve dininden razıyız. İyi ki Allah var, iyi ki Allah rızası var, iyi ki Rabbimiz Allah! Elhamdulillah.

Happy WBW!

I noticed there's a lot of islands and a lot of water on your world map. How advanced is seafaring technology?

Hello and thank you for the question! For most of these posts and questions I have focused solely on the Green Sea and excluded the rest of the world, however for this question I will go over some examples of seafaring peoples from various regions of Kobani.

This also gives me a chance to talk about some of the Forestfolk (non-human) populations of Kobani as they tend to be the greatest voyagers.

Kishetal (And most of the Green Sea)

When it comes to seafaring technology it is important to recognize that the sail is still a relatively new invention in many parts of Kobani. In Kishetal for example the sail has only been a common aspect of seafaring for about 1,200 years. This means that Kishetal and the Kishite identity itself is actually older than the introduction of the sail to the region.

Kishite ships are generally long and low to the water, propelled by oar and sail. Kishite ships are morphologically similar to those used by other cultures in the Green Sea including the Korithians, the Shabalans, and the Apunians. The reason for this similarity is a shared ancestry, as all are at least in part inspired by the shipbuilding technologies of the now extinct Arkodians.

Warships have a convex stern and are propelled by large single-masted square sails and two banks of oars. Most but not all warships also possess large wooden rams at their front, designed to crush and sink enemy vessels.

The largest ships, war barques, while rarely built due to their exorbitant price have the potential to be massive, holding crews of up to 700 people.

Merchant vessels are more varied, typically wider and slower, designed to hold cargo. The largest merchant vessels may carry up to 500 tons of cargo, though 100-150 tons is far more common. Smaller vessels may only carry 5-10 tons of cargo.

Most Kishite ships and shipping routes still hug the coasts or else island hop, the open sea is a daunting and dangerous place even for experienced sailors.

While compasses have not been invented, sailors are able to navigate via stars maps, knowledge of currents, the movements of fauna, and by carefully observing the topography of the coast.

In rare cases sages may be employed on ships both to consult spirits as to directions and locations and to manipulate currents and winds.

Excerpt

The port of Chibal stretched out before Suru, its waters were host to ships from across the Green Sea. Merchants’ ships filled to bursting with cargo, their colored sails flapping in the wind. Goods from the Western Isles of Ikeni and Dirsia where the Green Sea met the Kronatic Ocean to the lands of Apuna upon the Putla Delta. Foodstuffs, beasts, weapons, timber, art, spices, delicate instruments, bundles of tablets and scrolls, and of course slaves. The harbor itself was a massive artificial reservoir, a rectangular structure of hewn stone that protected the ships and buildings that lined the many docks and piers. At the center of the harbor was an artificial island and crouched upon was a figure of bronze, a colossal statue. He had the face of a youth, soft and clean-shaven, his hair in long curls fell down his back. He wore naught but a shawl draped over his shoulders. Had the statue been standing the top of his head would have towered over the tallest of trees, rather he was bent, kneeling, hand outstretched, palm facing the heavens as if intent on scooping up a ship from the harbor below. Suru gazed up in wonder at the serene expression. “How is that possible?” “Money,” Otilia said shortly. She had far more pressing issues on her mind than the statue.

Ikopesh

The Ikopeshi are the undisputed masters of the sea, at least in their region. It was the Ikopeshi who first developed and later introduced the sail to their neighbors. Ikopeshi ships are generally small compared to those of other Green Sea cultures, however they are typically sleeker and faster in their construction. 

The majority (79%) of Ikopeshi belong to or descend from a race of forestfolk called the Iko. The Iko and those that retain their traits are naturally adapted to thrive at sea, this includes a natural proclivity for swimming, slightly increased lung capacities (which accounts for the stereotypical barrel chested look of Ikopeshi), and the ability to safely drink and process saltwater.

The Ikopeshi have no fear of the open sea and will gladly spend days or even weeks without ever stepping foot on dry land. This comfortability at sea is just one reason why the Ikopeshi are both popular maritime mercenaries and dreaded pirates.

Ikopeshi war canoes or urkebul (Ikopeshi urka-long, ebul- boat/ship) are long thin vessels, some over 90 ft in length, propelled by oar (Shown above, source). These ships are among the fastest in the Green Sea and are feared as vessels favored by pirates and raiders.

Ikopeshi warships and pirate ships, whenever possible, carry sages. Sages use the magic of ocean and wind spirits both to increase the speed of Ikopeshi ships and to keep the various sea-monsters which roam the Green Sea at bay. These sages are called Salt-Speakers.

Ikopeshi navigators are famed for their keen knowledge of astronomy and cartography. It is said that Ikopeshi ships that have ventured out of the Green Sea have traveled far enough to see the Northern Ices and far enough south to engage in battles with their fellow seafaring forestfolk, the Ru (Who I will talk about below.)

The Ru and On

The Ru and the On are among the most wide ranging people in Kobani alongside the Ikopeshi and The Paguai, all of whom are primarily composed of forestfolk. About 64% of those that belong to the Ru culture are forestfolk.

The most common Ru forestfolk population are the Ru'kui. The Ru'kui are quite small in stature, typically no more taller than 4ft. However they are muscularly built, with long and powerful forearms and webbed digits, well-suited to both swimming and the manipulation of nautical instruments. However their most unique trait is a pouch of fat that forms around the shoulders and back, giving the Ru'kui a slightly hunchbacked appearance. This functions in similar fashion to a camel's hump and when fully stocked, will allow a Ru'kui to travel for days or in extreme cases weeks at a time without food or drink. This is essential for the island hopping culture of the Ru.

Ru ships come in a variety of shapes the most common are the double hulled wukua built used for trade and the settlement of new islands. The second kind of ship, the vapokua are long and thin canoes designed for hunting large fauna between the rocks and outcroppings of southern Pyritia and the southern ice flows. The Ru are one of the only cultures in Kobani which lives and relies on both tropical and polar environments.

Ru traders travel to and trade with ports in four continents (Pyritia, Macia, Ulania, and Zudia).

As with the Ikopeshi the Ru are reliant on an advanced knowledge of astronomy, one which is passed down in sacred fashion.

One branch of the Ru settled in the eastern sea near Zudia, in time becoming ethnically and culturally distinct. The On, are the product of the intermingling of several forestfolk groups, chief among them are the Ru'kui and the now extinct, Ap. The On population is only 52% forestfolk. These forestfolk, the Onimui, are far taller than their Ru'kui ancestors, taller and broader even then most humans in their area. The Onimui possess broad shoulders and brightly colored skin which may range in color from coral red to turquoise. The Onimui are famed for their strength and stature, for this reason they have been called "The Jeweled Giants of the Southern Sea." The Onimui lack the humps of the Ru’kui and instead their fat deposits are distributed around their bodies, giving them their slightly bulky appearance, similar to blubber in some marine species.

On vessels are smaller and more delicately built than their Ru counterparts, and the On rarely visit the southern icefields when compared to their Ru cousins.

The Dorthuit

(I couldn't find a picture that quite fit what I wanted for this and I don't have the time or skills to draw my own.)

The Dorthuit refers to a confederation of 46 distinct tribes including 5 forestfolk tribes.

The Dorthuit are the only Polar culture which utilizes sails. The Dorthuit are also unique in that their vessels are primarily constructed from skin and bone rather than wood, due to the resources available to them. This however has not stopped them from creating impressive ships, some large enough to carry entire villages. These ships are incredibly light, and even the largest sailing ships and canoes, some of which may stretch to 50 or 60 feet in length can be lifted and carried on the shoulders of 20 or fewer individuals. This allows for the Dorthuit to effectively travel over sea, ice, and land with ease. 

During the winter months when the ice is at its thickest and the largest ships can be turned upside down and used as temporary homes, their sails turned into blankets or other domestic implements. 

Alongside these larger sailing ships are a vast array of canoes and rowing boats, well made for slipping around ice flows, well-suited to hunting large mammals and various polar sea monsters. It is traditional in many tribes for young people to build their first canoe as a right of passage into adulthood. This canoe will be used and repaired for the remainder of that person's life, and it is considered an ill omen if one's canoe is destroyed or otherwise lost. For this reason, it is not unusual for canoes to be destroyed or stolen during intertribal conflict as a form of spiritual warfare.

The Dorthuit are experts at reading the paths and movements of currents and their subsequent effect on ice flows. They are less reliant on astronomical navigation compared to other sea-faring cultures.

The Kavuru , Indosi, Balijivuri, and Kikiruru

These people inhabit the islands of southern Macia. Though they now speak several different languages and are culturally distinct all descend from the ancient “Boat People'' who were in actuality a mixture of groups including people from the Proto-Sinrian regions of the southern Sinrian Peninsula, what is now the kingdoms of Jini and Malu, alongside people from Wuru, Mu, Namut, Cholyasia, and even the Ru. This diversity of origins and cultural influences has made this region one of the most culturally dynamic in the world of Kobani. 

The Kavuru and Kikiruru in particular are famed for their skill in ship-building. Both of these cultures build massive flat-topped ships, several of which may be lashed together to form floating cities, called kutaparung/kotaparun. The largest example of this is the Kavuru capital city of Gupatag, which is so massive that it even has agricultural land, one which rice, fruit, and livestock are reared. These massive structures, while ungainly, are technically navigable, and if unleashed from the reefs and landmasses which they are connected to, can be moved.

On a less spectacular note, these cultures make use of large vessels propelled by sail and oar. These are typically made with a lashed constructed from logs, lashed together with plant fibers and natural adhesives rather than with slats or planks as is more common in regions like the Green Sea. These vessels come in a number of forms, from broader and slower merchant vessels, to the sleeker, double-decked war ships known to raid as far west as the coast of Pyritia and along the coast of Mu.

Warships in particular are heavily decorated with dyes, gilding, and elaborate carving. While most of these vessels utilize a single mast and sail formulation, some varieties may include two or even three sails. These peoples are some of the earliest to adopt this particular technology. Sailing sages or Brine Saints, are of major importance in these cultures, particularly among the Indosi, where these sages often act as leaders or figures of authority. It is said that the best Sages may captain and steer a ship without a crew, eyes closed with only the guidance and assistance of the spirits of the wind and sea. 

In Balijivuri culture spirits are invited to live on vessels themselves, offered regular offerings of cooked food and alcohol, in exchange these spirits (in theory) protect the vessel from the machinations of other less hospitable spirits, demons, and monsters.

These are just some of the seafaring cultures of Kobani and their technologies, hope that answered your question!

[eyasce]

Ang shonget, ka iyamot hahahaha may sipon kasi akooo anubaaa T^T

Pakinggan mo na lang yung orig !!!

I want to tell you a long story before I met you, this all happened last year.

⚠️DON'T READ THIS RIGHT AWAY.

⚠️UNLESS YOU HAVE FREE TIME.

⚠️THIS IS VERY LONG! & TIME CONSUMING

Year 2024 wasn't good to me. That's why I told you na you are a great year ender and it's firm.

My mom passed away last year of January and I met this guy named Justine last January 15, 2024, he is a schoolmate but higher batch. Sa college building siya so we rarely see each other.

I was only 17 by that time, so I will be honest of what I like about him.

Physical attraction, because he is pogi, tall, and masipag mag study.

So babaw ng basis ko before, diba?

Unlike what I felt with you, even from a distance, it feels stronger. So weird!!!

We really had a great connection and mutual attraction with each other.

I'm really enjoying his accompany.

It's all rainbows and unicorns,

until one day he became distant.

I was frustrated because he wasn't talking with me anymore, but I easily accepted it. Hindi ko siya minessage kahit isa for real, unlike what I did to you.

Until one day, he reach out na parang walang nangyari. Parang hindi siya umalis. He is giving me the same energy like before, same vibes, same attention. And ayon nanaman ako, ine-enjoy lahat.

I took courage to ask him why did he ghosted me for a while and suddenly came back. He only said, “na miss kita eh”, but his answer did not satisfied my curiosity so I asked directly if he has a girlfriend.

There nag shift yung playful and bright aura nya into someone serious.

He said in a cold way, “what if meron?”

I got chills kasi he acted really good na parang wala, but in fact meron pala.

I was sad for myself 'cause I like him but at the same time, happy because he finally told the truth.

There, may gf nga sya and he have his reasons why he is attempting to cheat on her.

His gf is already cheating on him.

Hindi na nya mabilang ilang beses nya pinatawad at tinanggap yung girl.

He's already numb with his gf.

If that's the case,

why is he not breaking up with her?

Because she is sick.

Leukemia which is cancer.

I thought at first, AY GRABE!

Ka galing gumawa ng storya nito.

I'm skeptical about it.

To keep the story short,

totoo lahat ng sinabi nya.

Ang dami daming proofs,

I saw everything.

The photos of his gf with another man and their sweet convos, photo of his gf sa hospital and another photo of her eating tapos on the corner of the table ang daming meds sa tabi nya and ang putla ng lips but she is beautiful!!!!

Even though,

I never once felt jealous nor insecure with her because I feel secure with myself. I got all the assurance and affirmation. I feel contented and grateful.

Until one day, everything has changed.

He said, he wants to... you know?

do it with me.

do you get it?

The intimate thing with a partner.

I said I don't wanna.

My reason with him is we aren't officially a couple, he can't have all of me.

But the truth is, I am scared. Hahahaha!!

Around April, super nagkaka labuan na talaga sila nung gf niya like stressed out na siya.

I have no say naman regarding their relationship, never ako nag give ng opinion about it. I don't feel affected too. I only listen with his rants.

One day, sabi niya sakin he is planning to brake up with her na daw so he can finally be with me. Pero we'll keep it lowkey daw muna at first, para may time gap. Ayaw niya masira goodboy image niya sa lahat bcs he's from a religious family.

Instead na maging happy, na takot akooo!

Ang overwhelming for me nung title na girlfriend kasi nbsb ako hahahahaha! Tapos yung 1st situation ko pa, ganito.

I feel so much pressured with what he is plotting to do so I asked one of my male friend to panggap as my bf.

Ayun, shinowcase ko yung friend ko sa mydays in the blue app. We're faking na sweet.

:( he was hurt to know.

I feel sorry, but ayoko maging gf niya!

I'm not yet ready.

Even if there's a chance to bump with him at school, I blocked him in every socmed we're connected. He made a dummy account to message me tho maiksi lang naman mga sinabi niya like

Congrats.

I wish you are happy.

Study well.

Those words lang, simple pero alam ko pag ganyan na siya ka cold he is not okay. Ramdam ko siya.

I never reply.

Ang bad ko ba? :(

Pero alam mo, Mikey. I think ganyan din ginawa mo sakin lol hahahahahaha

Anyways, hindi pa naman jan kami natapos.

After 6 months,

I posted a sad face sa Weplay. Yes, sakanya ko nalaman yung game na yon hahahaha

Trip ko lang mag post, dejoke I kinda miss him but we have no more way of communication kaya sa Weplay ako nag post.

After ko mag post ng sad face, he message me in the morning using a dummy account again.

He asked in chat, “Why ka sad kagabi?”

Dun na niya na touch yung heart ko kasi imagine, 6 months ago I left him tapos he still shows some concern with just my sad face post.

It's hard for me to open up with anyone when I already like someone.

So this time, I want to entertain him na and to take it seriously.

But- may gf ulit siya!!!!!

Same gf tho, yung may sakit pa rin.

They get back together pala.

So ayun, same set up nanaman.

Mygawwwddddd!

Time skip ulit.

Early November, nakipag break sakanya gf niya and nag hard launch agad ng new guy sa socmed. Shockingly, na depress si Justine.

As in, in just a couple of days he lose some weight tapos hindi siya nag cocomply sa schoolworks niya.

There was a time, he did not go to school for a week straight and I can't reach him out either. I feel desperate to contact him, so I asked one of his friends na.

Nalaman ko, he is drinking and smoking na pala which is hindi naman niya usual ginagawa.

Btw, smoking weed :( not ciga.

Ang lala na niya, he is totally wasted.

Ayun siguro yung tinatawag nilang first love theory. I mean sakanya, yung ex niya is his first love tapos after all ng pag titiis niya sa relationship nila ginanon lang siya.

I'm hurt for him in a way na ayaw ko siya nasasaktan because he is important to me.

But I'm not hurt for myself to see him hurting with another girl.

There I realized, I don't actually love this guy in a romantic way. Hindi talaga ako affected ever since kahit may iba.

I did my best to cheer him up, idk why.

He is not my responsibility to begin with pero hindi ko rin siya kaya pabayaan na ganon.

It's my personality siguro, I'm too soft for people I care about the most.

My efforts to comfort him is working naman, pumasok na ulit siya pero something has changed again.

Naging aggressive nanaman siya to do it with me. Potek ayoko ngaaaaa diba!

Basta ang bilis ng shifting, nakaka iyak.

From understanding and gentleman to a total pervert.

I'm no longer comfortable being around him. :(

I feel invalidated.

Even sa chat he always insist.

Eventually, I got sick of him sa pangungulit at some point and planned to end things na.

But he became kind and gentle again telling me about his dream pero hindi nya magawa because he needs to study.

He personally don't like studying but feel obligated to do it because of his mom's expectations daw. Ang gusto talaga nya i-pursue na career is boxing.

I feel needed again in a good way, so I supported him.

I helped him out to convince his mom na i-enroll siya sa gym, it's not that hard because mabait and Godly yung family niya and his mom loves him dearly.

So after classes dun na sya palagi sa gym.

I always encourage him to do what makes him happy, so at the end of the day he will live with no regrets.

I can see him enjoying, so I told him to focus on himself muna. I wanted my space too, medyo na suffocate na ko sa pag intindi sakanya.

1 month has passed,

we never get along again.

He still contacts me to ask how am i, and sometimes he is asking me to watch his tournament.

But that's it, minimal convo na lang.

I thought I should get over him na, because kahit papaano nasa system ko pa rin naman siya eh.

We're still in the situation with no label thing.

May care pa rin, and I know anytime we can go back to what we used to.

So a friend told me to download Ofo.

I gave it a shot, but mostly bastos mga tao. MEH

Until one night of December 7, 2024

someone named mikey on the app said “Hello”

I viewed his profile, only 1 photo of himself tapos half face pa ano ba yan hahaha. But I immediately liked his eyes, so I decided to compliment it on him by responding,

“I like your eyes”, and he answered, “I like your eyes too”.

Luh gaya gaya yan sha hahahahaha!

Someone named mikey shows so much interest in me by asking random questions. I find it cute

Someone named mikey never once tried to talk or act dirty with me.

That's why I find him pure and precious too.

There I realized, this is what I truly like. Chill and no pressure conversation with a respectful person.

I feel safe and at peace with your energy.

I was once very happy with you po.

I'm the one who did something wrong, I overflow the situation. I mishandled you. I'm so sorry.

Just like Justine, I can sense that you are enjoying your freedom now and I want you to know that I am genuinely happy for you, Mikey.

You became an instrument for me to end the endless cycle of us getting back together. I don't think Justine and I are meant for each other.

I stopped communicating with him na since last year of December pa and it feels good to have a fresh start this 2025.

Although this happened nga, na I can't get over you naman. But I'm alright now. I believe na manage ko naman ng maayos yung situation ko, I did not depend with anyone and it feels liberating.

Someday, I want to meet someone who is afraid to lose me.

I may be young at age but I ain't for fun and games, I'm in for the long haul.

For now, hard pass muna. I have prior things to do such as studying and I want to prove myself pa. Love can always wait.

I have faith in God's will, without even looking for it, the right person will come to my life.

I'm now signing off, Mikey.
