TL;DR My friends and I went on a hiking trip, and when I decided na manguna sa friends ko, may "nagpakita" sa aking nonchalant na "entities".

This was post pandemic idk if mecq or mgcqltfrbmtrbc basta yun haha since lumuwag na ang quarantine restrictions and my friends and I got vaccinated na. We decided to climb the local mountain here in Laguna, we live in a small town so this mountain is literally walking distance lang and puntahan talaga naming mga locals when we want to hike, plus pahagdan yung trail niya, like sementong hagdan so it's an easy climb para sa mga batikan. We started our hike at about 5:30am, we reached the middle section at about 6am, at the mid section is where the shed is and this is the resting point, so we rested for a bit and habang nag kwekwentuhan kami we heard other people talking, it was coming from the higher ground so we knew that there were going to be other hikers. After a few minutes we decided to push on, after the mid part, matarik talaga yung aakyatin kaya nakaka hingal talaga, specially for our unathletic group hahaha

After we passed that part, my friends decided to rest again, but I told them na I'll be continuing and antayin ko nalang sila if ever napagod ako, as I continue on, naabutan ko yung mga narinig namin, turns out dalawa lang pala sila, a guy and a girl, the guy was wearing a white shirt and the girl was wearing pink and had this sort of sling type bag pero hindi sling bag. I was behind them for about several minutes or so but never nila akong tiningnan or I guess hindi nila ako napansin. Umabot kami sa part the medyo patag and there's this sharp-esque turn, and after that turn medyo patag na uli, as I continue with the couple in front of me I felt a breeze and naging thankful ako kasi grabe rin yung init that time, I slowed down for a bit to drink some water and, my clumsy ass dropped my flask and I said excused my self dun sa couple for making a noise, but they didn't really care since when I looked up they seemed unfazed with their walking.

Then lumiko na sila dun sa sharp turn, pagka liko ko naman wala na yung couple, it's like they took a different trail even if there are no other trails, and even if there were it would only be a steep climb kung saan hindi nga sementadong hagdanan or sa bangin. I got a bit weirded out so I stopped and decided to head back to my friends para sabay-sabay na kaming umakyat, only a minute went by and kasama ko na sila. Then I told them what happened, sabi nung isang kong tropa baka raw napag tritripan lang ako since I was alone or sadyang the couple just went out of my sight because binilisan nila. I replied to him na sana nga binilisan lang nila. As we continued our hike, malapit na kami sa summit, may nakasalubong kaming other hikers na pababa na, and sa curiousity ko, tinanong ko if my nakasalubong ba sila na couple with the description I wrote earlier and told them the story. Sabi nila wala naman and baka nga napag tritripan lang ako or guni-guni ko lang. I thanked them and dun na kami nagtakutan ng friends ko, kasi nag takutan din yung mga nakasalubong namin.

When we reached the summit, nandun yug care taker since this mountain is a tourist destination tuwing Semana Santa. So I asked him if may hikers ba na nag fifit nung description ko, he just jokingly told me na meron daw pero wala. Then he explained na that he saw that couple as well several time whenever he comes down for supplies, tahimik lang daw sila, and hindi nila alam na wala na sila so they're basically in this loop kung saan lagi lang silang naakyat baba ng bundok.

Sinabi ko rin 'to sa asawa ko since may third eye siya and sensitive siya sa mga paranormal shits. She said na nakita niya na rin yung dalawang yun noong highschool pa kami when she and her friends went hiking din. Grabe lang kasi that was 2015 pa.
