My apologies if this is inappropriate but I thought a little kalokohan might lighten the mood during these unstable times.

When we were younger, my cousins and I used to exchange stories about aswang, kapre and my favorite – the mangkukulam.

Do you have a favorite story you would like to share?

Oh wait you're gonna share it too? Here are some additional details that I wrote just some minutes after the event on a discord server lol. Also this message was dated June 24, 2025 at 09:22.

"Freaky thing that happened to me just several minutes ago. My glasses were missing from my container, and I figured it must be because I put it somewhere when I was done watching TV. I was looking EVERYWHERE in the house but couldn't find it, and I was doing this even at the cost of my planned housekeeping and preparation schedule (cuz today I have to do summer class). So eventually I just started cooking. I cooked some white beans complete with aromatics, tomato sauce and some seasoning, then I put it on a plate behind me on the table cuz I'll be cooking an egg. After I looked behind me, MY FUCKING GLASSES SUDDENLY APPEARED RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLATE! It wasn't there before that, like at all."

I also have some other stories (somehow so many of them are related to disappearing objects), will probably get back to you with them.

These are perfect!

We (my family) hang out together on the weekends and catch up on each other’s lives. Among other things, we exchange scary stories. I’ve really enjoyed yours because they’re something that I can share with my nieces and nephews without scaring the living daylights out of them.

IMO, you should keep writing these mini-stories. You can use Lemmy to blog (create a community, then lock it so only you can create a post) if your instance allows it.

And yes! If you have more to share, I’m definitely looking forward to reading them!
