Ponzi Scheme

Hello, na-kwento sakin ng kaibigan ko na nabiktima sila ng isang app na nagbibigay ng payout on a daily basis. Sabi nya, the app requires them to watch a movie first bago madagdagan yung pera nila. My friend and his wife owns a small local bakery (di sila nakagraduate ng hs so naattract siguro agad sa offer yung wife nya) and inilagay nila lahat ng savings nila in that app amounting to Php 95,000.

Ang masaklap pa dito, marami silang nabiktima sa isang barangay. May isang case pa raw na yung ninang nya ay nagbenta ng kalabaw mailagay lang yung pera sa app.

Possible na millions ang nawala dun sa mga tao if combined amount.

The app went down on August 11 so pinuntahan nila yung local office the next day pero nagsarado na rin daw. May sumubok din pumunta sa pulis pero sinabihan daw sila na malabo na marecover yung pera nila.

As of now, nobody is pursuing the case.

Tangina, nakakahinayang lang. Dito samin, farming lang talaga ang pinagkakakitaan o kaya mga maliliit na business lang din naman kaya siguro madali rin maloko ang mga tao kasi marami talaga sa kanila ang hindi nakapag-aral.

I know it would be hard to recover the money pero dapat may managot. I would convince my friend to pursue filing a case pero I wanna know the step-by-step and kung sino ang pinakamaaasahan nila to handle the case and kung sino rin ang dapat tugisin in this kind of scam. Nawalan kasi agad sila ng gana nung naging ganoon ang response ng pulis sa kanila.

Rural area dito samin so napakabulok talaga ng sistema tbh. Hope someone can help and give clarity to the situation. I really pity these kind and hardworking people that were victimized.

🙏🙏🙏

he's just not that into you

well honestly, I tried to defend you in my head when in fact, I shouldn't have.

maybe he's just really busy.

maybe he just likes the push and the pull.

maybe he just wants to be chased.

ALIBIS.

but I've heard your story about your ex, you doesn't sound like that guy I was talking to.

you were a lover boy, not just to me :)

I know you enjoyed my company. I know I made you happy. You said you wanted me to stay.

But that wasn't enough, right?

Were you afraid to take the risk again? But, you can tell me something and instead avoided it.

I waited where that was headed. I didn't even have a clue.

Don't reason it out with slowburn, I was the only one who burned myself alive.

I get it. I've had my fair share in the dysfunction but the irony is you said you wanted me but didn't show it.

If I want something, I let it show. If I don't want it, it can be felt through my energy and I would eventually tell us to stop.

We didn't have that.

Damn, we had the best time talking as far as I can recall. BUT, why did it ended like that?

Simple.

You were not just into me yet you pretended like you were.

For someone who I thought was so genuine, why are you like that?

Ahhh, forget it. This is too dramatic for cool people like you.

I may have acted like I'm fine with the cool but I feel so deeply so honestly, I cared.

Anyway, I have no hard feelings for you, I promise. I just wish you don't inflict the same pain to anyone and I hope you genuinely get what your heart is looking for.

I'm still praying for you from afar.

That's enough.

And these letters? Let me cope, at least I'm still living...

at the end of the day :)

I guess there's no point in looking back with a looming sadness inside my heart for whatever it is that happened.

Come to think of it, there's a lot of things that are happening, so us meeting in an ever strange world we're living in is beyond magic in itself.

Nostalgia is something that's deep embedded within me so as I write this one, I replay the things that made me feel alive again. --> YOU :)

Thank you for making me believe that my heart is capable of loving again even if that love ultimately did not blossom into something beyond imagination.

At the end of the day, my heart's not hopeless. I'm home safe so thank you for the ride. Even if it's just a quick time, I'll remember it for a lifetime.

After all, we look at the same moon, share the same skies, hold some similar profound stories... We're heading roads that would never converge but the end of the day, we met.

So I'll look back with nothing but a grateful heart.

Salamat :)

tail end of a cold front

It's cold and my body literally shivers. I'd like to reach for your warmth at this very moment, that's all I can think about.

We never touched.

No kiss and tell.

But you opened up something in my heart and changed it forever.

Maybe that's the good thing about having you even for a brief moment.

I was never seduced into something physical but it extends way beyond that.

You made me feel ethereal, even in the mundane moments.

Your intellect is seductive.

-The way you see the world.

-How you don't give a F for unimportant things.

-How you are so real and not want to become a part of the herd just like me

Haaaaayyy.

Talking to you just felt like a warm embrace even if it doesn't really look like that sometimes. All I know is that I always wanna run onto you after a long day at work and yap about everything under the cosmos.

You were my reflection.

The words that came out of your mouth are the very words that I needed especially when life gets heavy.

Can you tell to this day that I still think about you? I hope somehow, you do remember what it's like to have someone like me in your life.

I am always looking out for you beyond the physical boundaries.

I look at the stars and think about you.

I silently pray that you find what your heart is looking for.

I certainly wish that you live a life that is full of blessings and adventures.

That's the good thing about loving someone without expecting anything in return. It becomes purer. It becomes cleaner. It comes with more acceptance of what reality offers.

I can't have you.

I couldn't reach for you and pretend like nothing happened.

But I can always carry you in my memories, not in a heavy tone but lighter.

Like an omen. A good one.

Life has been cold but thinking about you gives me warmth.

I guess for now, this will suffice.

Sleep well, you. hope you're a lurker here :3

it's cozy, cozy, cozyyy. 😶‍🌫️

I feel so hollow

But deep inside, there is something my finger can't quite put itself at. I wanted to explore life and its meaning but there is a lingering pain inside that I can't seem to name.

Why is the modern world so unhappy?

Or has it always been this way?

I can't quite ponder on how I can suddenly pick up melancholy in the benign.

The amount of self-betrayal I had to endure.

The amount of self-sabotage.

The killing of the potential.

The shrinking. The begging. The doubt.

And all this esoteric wisdom I don't know where to utilize.

Some people can leave you hollow. It makes you find traces of something you've long left behind.

I was always alone and it's dark in here.

Maybe I need you now more than ever because you made me calm my own mind that is messy.

Maybe I was looking for you when I'm sad not because I need the warmth of your body but how your intellect could help me make sense of all these things.

Is there never a chance right here, right now?

Can you pick me up again?

Can we somehow, just find a way?

It doesn't make sense, you know. You're long gone but all I can think of when life gets overwhelming is reach for you in the void.

Tangina. Maybe it was the song from the neighbor all along. Lifetime by Ben & Ben.

Bullsh*t, you know I don't listen to these type of songs but I can't deny that it captured what I am feeling right now for us that's why it made me cry my heart out on a random Saturday morning. Ridiculous.

Hey, can we come back to where we left? 'Cause life has been hurting me so bad right now. Sure, I can turn to philosophy just like the old days but when it's time to sit on my own, it is so damn hard.

Just know that I would've always want to reach out but I don't want you to carry all these baggages with me. Quite the irony.

How come, just how come I can be the funniest one in the room and hold all this darkness inside of me?

How can not anyone see me the same way you did?

How can I ever forgive myself for hurting myself more than I should?

I have all these sorts of questions, ones you don't know how to answer but ones you know so well how to handle with me while I'm breaking and help me pull my shit together.

Wherever you are, whatever you do, I hope you're fine.

I can't find comfort to what I am feeling now and I won't dare to escape. I'll drown myself if I have to.

I know this will pass but I just miss you.

Was there a lifetime waiting for us? I'd fool myself once more...

No goodbyes

For I got to know you and I'll carry it forward for as long as I live.

In dreams.

In nostalgia.

In songs.

In the wind.

In the clouds.

Evermore.

I've been dreaming about you repeatedly and I find it fascinating because I feel like I slip in a different timeline where you've found your way into mine.

But the moment I wake up, I have to face another reality again, in this physical realm.

Nonetheless, I could never resist it and treat like it was nothing. I grew so fond of finding meaning and it does not make sense that you happened by mere chance or somewhat random, but in its essence, it was synchronicity.

Because I feel like I've known you from another lifetime. Like deja vù... Like quantum immortality...

You and Me.

Us.

Ours.

I find comfort that an equally real outcome (where you and I ended with each other) happened in a parallel universe we never got to observe because our consciousness is here on this one.

And I know, if you happened to come across this message, it'll shot your heart because you're the one I targeted. I never had to make the actual move. You don't have to either.

Just knowing that you may read this if fate allows, you'll know that this is for you and it is from me. I'll never have to make a clue like I did before because that would be a bummer for how will you ever recognize the pattern?

But that's not the point, I don't even know what is. Just know that I love that you exist in my world, whether or not that's entirely the reality.

Anyway, I'll have to sleep now. I've been nerding-out on some weird stuffs that's why I'm here haha.

I'll see you again in my dreams, if that happens tonight, I guess.

and if you're lurking behind the screen, hi!! imyyy and i'll see you around! >>> :))
