how fortunately i met you.
I had the habit of whistling the call of birds when the wind is saturated. It’s not like I believe in it, but oftentimes, I suddenly feel the wind coming after one set of call. I learned it from the elders, and I’m still seeing some youth do it.
One time, I was with a non-local friend (he’s Filipino, just very westernized) and we were walking under the harsh sun with no wind. I whistled, and a gush of wind came. He asked why did I do that, to which I answered while the wind brushed my hair, “I’m calling the wind.” with such a serious voice I might be a diety. Later on I realized he doesn’t know about our force of habit, and since I didn’t want to be seen as crazy, I said, “FORGET ABOUT THAT! IT WAS A FORCE OF HABIT AROUND HERE.”
So yeah, we whistle for the wind. The only being in the universe you can whistle for.
HEAR ME OUT - I am a POC, a Filipino who realized a bit too late about how cool my country is.
I’m so sick of just sitting back and seeing my pre-colonial culture fade into obscurity like this.
I’ve been thinking of making literally any media-related thing for Bikol / Bicol mythology to maybe help it become more known cause I really think it’s super decent and was highly impressed when I first learned bits about it on the internet years ago.
This is why I made that post about Bulan a few months/years back cause i’m just… so passionate abt this alright?
Every time I remember that Bikol myths could be mainstream if only the right pieces of media was published by now, i just…. feel so bad
I just want to produce something memorable and will make the internet go nuts over it.
I just want to make our culture, like, mainstream.
No more Philippines as just an outsourcing country that’s used for manpower and left to fade into obscurity.
It doesn’t even have to be me, but if you want something done, sometimes you yourself have to work on it.
So I want to do this.
If any of you folks want to help bring an idea to life, I’ll be all ears.
We could do a book, a webcomic, a game, an album, literally anything. I’m technically still just a young adult with no money and no job but I want to work on something I can be proud of, even if there’s no pay.
And while exactly zero people will probably respond, just let this be my promise to myself, and also a message to hold accountability. I’m putting this out on the internet (granted, the deeper parts, but still) so I convince myself better to do this.
As a side note, someone has actually written a book Percy Jackson-style about this, I’ve read it and while there’s a lot to criticise about it and stuff to improve upon, it was still a step in the right direction!
The book is entitled The Seventh Moon by Jeremiah Cordial. Check it out and support the author if you can.
TLDR:
I wanna create a piece of media regarding Bicolano mythology as a passion project, so if you have a similar drive, don’t hesitate to hit me up and we could work on one! Or don’t lmao, either way i’m doing smth!

TRESE (2021)
May panahon na sadyang bahagi ng ating mga buhay ang mahika. Lumipas na ang panahon na 'yon. Maraming takot sa 'di mapaliwanag. Kaya ang ating pamilya ang naging tulay sa pagitan ng sangkatauhan at sa mundo ng karit-an.
There was a time when magic in the world was a natural part of life. That age has passed. People fear what they don't understand. That's why our family has always been the bridge between mankind and the supernatural.
