CHAPTER 3

The App

It's still a the same boring day. Paulit-ulit na routine. Bahay, punta sa shop then uwi.

It's been a week since our last meet up. I was about to open my Facebook account when I see an unfamiliar app.

Anonymous Diaries

Anong app to? I didn't remember na nag install ako ng ganito. I open the app because of curiosity.

Would you like to start a conversation with your partner?

Yes No

Pagkatapos ko piliin ang yes button ay biglang nagpop ang isang conversation.

Hi

Hello

How are you?

I'm fine, how about you?

I'm good. Have you eaten already?

Dahil sa tanong niya napacheck ako sa oras. Ghad it's already lunch time na pala. Masyado ata akong nawili sa app na yon.

Oh, I haven't. Di ko napansin yung oras. I'll go now, nice to meet you...

What's your name btw?

I'm Zion

You're name's kind a unique.

Haven't you read the rules? Identity must be hidden. So yeah it's just my nickname here.

You chose a good one. I'm Shine btw. I gotta go, bye.

Damn...did I just have a conversation with a total stranger? Shey wake up, it's not your thing. Sino nga ba yung nag install ng app na toh? I think I've mistaken, it's not a game... is it a dating app?

I keep on thinking who's possibly the one that install it on my phone...

"Pahiram ako ng cellphone mo girl"

Bigla nalang nagreplay sa isip ko. Oh right it's Reese...damn her. I'm gonna call her later.

I focus on eating before doing may goal.

Calling Reese Bi*tch

Yeah don't mind the contacts name. It suits here anyway.

It keeps on ringing. Bakit ang tagal naman sagutin ng bruha.

I call her for almost 5 times I guess. Okay for the last time kapag hindi pa din sinagot then I'm done.

Calling Reese Bi*tch

Ringing

"Fvck you Saavedra", I shouted out of frustration.

"Oh hi... I'm not informed that fvck you is now the new way of saying hi", she said in a sarcastic way. I rolled my eyes.

"I've been calling you for more than five fvcking times Saavedra"

"Well I just got home. I'm having a shopping and I left my phone at h---"

"And you left your phone at home. Seriously? Wag moko lokohin. Mas importante sayo yung phone mo kesa sa balak mong bilhin sa mall", putol ko sa sabi niya

"Ay bawal ba iwan? Required ba dalhin? Di pwede nagbago lang isip ko kaya iniwan ko?", pabalang niyang sagot

I close my eyes to calm my self. It's frustrating.

"Any ways...what do you need bah?", aniya

"You're the one who install this damn app right?", mabilis na tanong ko

"I didn't know that Hershey Uzuri Villarreal a.k.a Ms Independent is into badwords and oh the app hahahahaha"

Mas lalo akong nainis because of her laugh.

"Fine, don't answer it anymore I'm done", I said before ending the call

I hate her. Ramdam ko yung pagsasalubong ng kilay ko. Nawala ako bigla sa mood.

Yeah girl... I'm the one who installed that app on your phone. May nakilala ka na ba? Siguro naman magkakajowa ka na jan. Update me mwah. Ciao...

Hindi na ako nag-abalang replyan siya.

Jowa, lovelife... Lagi nalang nila pinapakialam yung buhay pag-ibig ko. Nahawa ma siya sa parents ko. How many times should I tell them na ayaw ko nga. I don't have time for that.

Back to the app, I never heard nor see that app. Hindi siya familiar saken. Out of curiosity I search it through Google para may background naman ako sa app at hindi ako magmukhang tanga.

Is Anonymous Diaries an dating app?

It can be considered as a dating app. You can meet and have a talk with a total stranger.

Madami pa akong naresearch. Napag-alaman kong ang app pala na toh is made just last year. Kaya pala hindi ako aware sa existence nito kase talagang bago pala talaga ito.

Buong maghapon akong nakahilata sa kama. I feel week, nahihilo din ako. Agad akong tumayo para kumuha ng tubig sa kusina. Pakiramdam ko ay sobrang tuyo ng lalamunan ko. Hindi din ako mapakali.

Noong napadaan ako sa whole body mirror dito sa kwarto ko ay saka ko lang napansin ang kulay pulang nasa short ko. So that's explain why I'm having a mood swing.

Ramdam ko yung pamumula ng mukha ko. Mabuti nalang at hindi ako lumabas, walang nakakitang may tagos ako.

I immediately go to the CR to change. Masyadong malagkit ang pakiramdam ko.

Bumalik ako sa paghiga sa kama when I feel a stomach cramp. Halos isumpa ko ng naging babae ako. It hurts lalo na't first day palang ngayon. Sa sobrang sakit ay napapikit nalang ako hanggang sa nakatulog ako ng hindi ko namalayan.
