21: the dogs

I was harassed by a small peer of dogs on my way home tonight, literally.
As I was walking down our main street I saw them from afar, around seven or eight adult dogs, and they surrounded another white canine with the collar, perhaps a new one. They were all barking out loud I can hear them even with my headphones on.

So there I was, passing them by. I could've sworn I saw the expression of relief the bullied dog had as he/she ran away.

Oh it's my turn to be bullied.

Like what they did to the white one, they surrounded me and followed me, all the time barking. Thank heavens I had my headphones on, ignoring them was much easier. And hey now I believe that not maintaining eye contact with aggressive dogs do work in such situations. after several yards they gave up and left me.

hmm now i wonder what they were all barking at me for.
"bakitngayonkalang?/ saan ka galing?/ may dala ka bang pagkain? /may naaamoy akong pagkain!/ may buto ka ba may buto ka ba?/ taga dito ka ba?/ anong problema mo?/ hoy tumingin ka sa akin!"
or maybe they were all nice dogs after all.
"laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo! laro tayo!"

not.

i'm badly missing a lot of people these days.
Some i dont see because of crazy work schedules, while some I deliberately chose to distance myself from for now.

Hey you.
This is me in my most complicated moment.
I know most of the time I overthink overfeel overdream things.

I just want you to know that i'm still here.
Hey you.
this is the part where I ask you to never let me go.
