I am a lot of things on this & the other app. I'm your resident pot-stirrer, instigator, your in-house basag-ulo. Aminado naman si atashi...
BUT never in my wildest dream did I ever think that thru these apps, I'd be able to touch other people's lives and be there to make a small difference.
For quite some time now, complete strangers I've interacted with online, would send me DMs on Twitter asking for guidance.
Noong una, I was like — "Ha? Ba't ako tinatanong nito." Kasi seryoso, I'm the last person who should be giving advise to anyone. Baka mamaya ikapahamak niyo pa. Chareng. 😂
Kidding aside, sometimes I'd get queries from folks...
They'd ask me about how to handle a certain situation at home. Some about work struggles. Some, just like the recent one, about matters of the heart naman.
Ilang beses ng nangyari ito. Ako naman, I oblige. Kasi, the person isn't asking for too much naman. They're just asking for a few minutes of my time and for me listen.
So in my lucid moments, I play the wise-kuno kuya/ate/they/them to folks. I try to give them mature advice how to handle an aggressive co-worker, a boss who's the spawn of the devil, a cheating BF or even a demanding parent.
Gulat kayo ano? Ako rin mga teh, gulat na gulat. 😂
Kasi naman, of all people, ba't ako? But I've always believed that...
Everything has a purpose. Sandok nga may purpose, tayong mga tao pa kaya?
Kaya ayun, whenever I'm in this situation, I try to be mature and balanced as much as I can para I can give sound advice. Para tuloy siyang, alter-ego ng online alter-ego ko.
Basagulera sa umaga, emotional shrink sa gabi. Chareng.
So I kindly asked this person to share w/me kung ano ang kaya niyang I-share.
Nagkuwento siya & without going thru the details, nalaman niyang matagal na siyang niloloko ng jowa niya for more than a decade. Na this person has treated him like dirt. What makes it worse is our bida is based outside the country. Kaya ang hirap talaga ng sitwasyon niya.
But what really worried me was our bida actually verbalized sa email to end it all.
Our bida shared this with me nung umaga via email. Sinagot ko na bigyan niya ako the whole day to reply. E 'di ba nagsimba ako? So kasama siya sa intentions ko that day. Na sana maghulos-dili siya.
That we all have our crosses to bear and that sometimes it's easier to share that burden with a stranger kasi walang judgment. Na at the end of the day, we all just want to be seen and heard.
At diyan nagtatapos ang maikling kuwento ko ngayong hapon.
Confidently beautiful with a 💗 heart! Sa iyo na itez 👑💐. Glad we're online friends, and that you reveal to us here your soft side, your kind heart. May there be more of you out there.

Apparently, this person is going thru a painful breakup to the point that this person has thought of ending it na. Talon sa mataas na lugar ganiyan.
Siyempre, naloka ako. Like, 'matik suot agad ng kuya hat.

Replied nung gabi. Sent our bida a long note.
