08: Follow
I quickly searched what sociant is, at agad na ring gumawa ako ng account. Akala ko kailangan ko pa ng tulong ng iba pero mabuti nalang madali lang pala siyang gawin. Kailangan ba talaga maglagay ng picture?
Tumingin ako kay spooky and called her. Kinuhanan ko siya ng litrato at siya ang ginawa kong DP, but wait paano malalaman ni Crescent na ako 'to? I'll just message her then.
Nang makagawa na ako ay humiga ako at agad siyang hinanap.
Crescent Moon.
Hindi ko mapigilan ang ngiti ko, her parents must be a fan of moon, pati rin siya na pati sociant niya may moon na nakadikit sa pangalan niya.
Maraming lumabas pero alam kong siya nasa top search. Ang dami niyang followers. It's her because it's her face. She looks cool. I can't help but smile when I tapped her profile picture. It's just a portrait picture but she's slaying!
But wait...she has 800k followers, woah! Really? Is she famous?
I tapped the word follow and stalked her more.
She's covering songs. She sings...
Wait! Is this hers? Napaupo tuloy ako at hinawi ang buhok ko.
Model rin ba siya?
Bumangon ako at pumunta sa computer ko. I searched for her name and added the word Philippines.
Lumabas siya.
Crescent moon is a Filipino singer and songwriter. She loves covering songs and does vlogging too. Her music is pop and rock. She's also an architecture student.
She was also nominated as the best female solo performer last year.
I never heard of her. Siguro dahil hindi naman ako babad sa mundong ganito. I was more focused on my arts and portfolios.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit nakaramdam ako ng hiya at kaba. She's different here on sociant. Teka mababaliw na ako, baka hindi siya 'to.
Hinanap ko ulit siya sa sociant, pero ito talaga ang pangalan na binigay niya at siya talaga itong nasa litrato. Kung siya nga talaga 'to, paano niya ako mapapansin? She has a lot of reactors at parang may fans club na nga rin siya.
I didn't know that kuya has a famous friend. Baka lahat ng kaibigan ni kuya famous rin, pati rin siya. Napahawak ako sa noo ko.
Okay, inhale exhale.
"Meow!" Napalingon ako kay Spooky. Ayoko namang magtanong kay kuya dahil...baka anong isipin sa akin at nahihiya ako.
She'll follow back right?
She knows Spooky. Pero paano kung hindi?
She only follows 10 people sa daming naka-follow sa kanya.
Tumayo ako sa tapat ng stand mirror ko at pinagmasdan ang mukha ko. She'll know right if I send her a picture? Just one picture. I took a selfie, for the first time!
Sent.
Tinakpan ko ang aking bibig at agad na pinatay ang phone ko.
Pumasok na rin si yaya para sa dinner ko. Ngayon ko lang siya napansin dahil sa kinakabahan ako. Kinuha ko si Spooky at yinakap siya.
Kumain muna ako at nang matapos akong magshower ay binuksan ko na ang phone ko ulit.
Crescent:
Hey you found me!
Crescent reacted love to your picture.
Hindi na yata normal 'to naririnig ko na ang pagtibok ng puso ko. She reacted love, maganda ba ako o ano?
Crescent changed your name to Rora
Crescent: How are you?
Rora: you're famous...
Crescent: ahh sakto lang
Crescent: haha!
Crescent: gulat ka 'no?
Napangiti ako dahil naramdaman kong siya nga talaga 'to, kahit dito sa sociant ang ingay niya.
Crescent: kumain ka na?
Rora: opo.
Rora: ikaw?
Umupo ako sa higaan ko.
Crescent: kakain palang.
Crescent sent a picture
She's eating in a restaurant?
Crescent: diba mahilig ka magpaint? Marami akong pictures na pwede mong i-paint!
Rora: like?
Crescent sent a picture.
It's a picture of a mountain? And she's on top of it?
Her world is also wide, compared to mine. Kaya bakit gusto niya akong maging kaibigan?
Crescent: hey, don't follow anyone, ako lang.
Rora: Am I not allowed?
Like, kailangan rin bang may i-follow akong iba? I mean I'm new to the social media world. Hindi ko alam.
Crescent: you can but...ayoko :3
What emoji is this? Is she pouting?
Rora: Oh sure.
Crescent: yehey. Hehe.
I smiled. Oh I wish she's still here. When can I see her again?
Rora: para kang busy na tao.
I see a lot of her pictures, she sings in front of many people, parang ang dami rin niyang ganap tapos estudyante pa siya. How can she manage her time?
Crescent: I am.
Rora: kumain ka na.
Crescent: Kumakain na po.
Rora: eat well.
Crescent: opo.
Rora: mabuti po.
Crescent: yes po.
Ano pa ba pwedeng sabihin? I mean I know she's eating, pero baka kasi kapag hindi ko na siya replayan ngayon baka mamaya hindi na siya mag-reply o di kaya hindi na niya ako pansinin.
Rora: good po.
Crescent: 😂
Rora: Are you laughing?
Crescent: opofhkd
Rora: ??
Crescent: sorry may tumawag kasi.
Rora: ah okay po.
I halted when another notification popped out.
Crescent is now following you.
