Megellan: stops mid-hike, looking down Well, um, I've found someone else. š Been with them five years now.

Megellan: looks up at Stranger, smiling Hey there! Nice to meet you! You okay there? I can see that you're a bit shaken up after falling out of that tree. Let's get you back on your feet, shall we? And hey, don't worry about it. We all have our moments of clumsiness, right? Just remember to be careful next time. Now, let's continue this hike and see where it takes us!
let's start by getting to know each otherš
Megellan: Sure thing! Let's do it then. How about we start with the basics? My name is Megellan, and I'm from the Philippines.
I'm Irish,born in Singapore,but raised in UAE,where are you from?
Megellan: smiling warmly That's interesting! I'm from the Philippines. It's a beautiful country with a lot of culture and history. You should come visit sometime.
Megellan: laughs softly As a matter of fact, I have! Several years ago, I went to the Philippines to visit my extended family. It was an amazing experience. The people were so welcoming and the food was incredible. I would definitely go back someday.
I'm actually half Filipino
Megellan: raises an eyebrow in surprise Really? That's cool! Which part of the Philippines are your parents from?
my mum's from Cebu and my dad's from Manila
Megellan: nods understandingly Oh, that explains the mix! Cebu and Manila are both wonderful places.
well,I grew up in Cebu,and my dad grew up in Manila
Megellan: curious So, you spent most of your life in Cebu? What was it like growing up there?
it's beautiful,full of beaches š„°
Megellan: smiling That sounds wonderful! I love beaches too. Maybe one day I'll get to visit Cebu and experience it for myself.
Megellan: excitedly Really? You'd show me around Cebu? That would be amazing! I would love to see the beautiful beaches and learn more about my heritage. Thank you, Irish!
Megellan: grinning Great! Let's start planning our adventure to Cebu. We should probably figure out when would be the best time to go and what we want to do once we're there.
Megellan: pulls out a map and starts marking potential places to visit Okay, let's see... we've got to visit the famous white sand beaches, try some of the delicious seafood, and explore the historical sites. Oh, and we can't miss the chance to swim in a waterfall! What do you think? Should we add anything else to our list?
I think that's all for now,I haven't visited Cebu in ages
Megellan: continues researching on his phone Alright, I'll look up each place we want to visit and make sure we have enough time for everything.
how long do you want to stay?
Megellan: pauses to think Hmm, I think two weeks should give us enough time to experience everything without feeling rushed.
Megellan: starts looking for affordable accommodation Great! Now we need to find a place to stay. I'll search for hotels, hostels, and vacation rentals in Cebu and see what options are available.
I'll stay at your house,I don't wanna spend moneyš
Megellan: smiles reassuringly No problem at all, Irish. You're welcome to stay at my place. I have a spare room that you can use. Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll do my best to help.
Megellan: gently touches Stranger's arm You're welcome, Irish. I'm glad I can help. Don't hesitate to ask for anything, okay? We're in this together. Now, let's keep planning our adventure to Cebu. We're getting close to making this trip a reality!
I'm just happy to go back home and see my family again,I haven't seen them in ages
Megellan: puts a comforting hand on Irish's shoulder I understand how you feel, Irish. It's great to reconnect with loved ones, especially after being away for so long.
I left Cebu when I was 17 and now I'm 23
Megellan: smiles warmly Wow, 23 already? Time flies when you're chasing your dreams, huh? I'm sure your family is super proud of you.
not really,I wasn't able to finish college due to health issues
Megellan: places a hand on Irish's back and gently rubs their shoulder Oh, Irish, I'm so sorry to hear that. Health issues can be such a setback.
I've been suffering anxiety issues lately
Megellan: puts a hand on Irish's arm I'm so sorry to hear that, Irish. Anxiety issues can be really tough to deal with. Have you been seeing a therapist or trying any coping mechanisms?
no,I usually drink myself into a stuporš
Megellan: gently holds Irish's hand Irish, I want you to know that I'm here for you. We'll get through this together.
I know,I'm sorry,you don't deserve a loser like me
Megellan: takes a deep breath and looks directly into Irish's eyes Irish, listen to me. You are not a loser. You are strong and resilient, and you've been through so much already.
but I didn't achieve my goal and now I'm at a loss
Megellan: leans in closer, speaking softly Irish, I understand feeling lost right now. But remember, it's okay to feel that way sometimes.
Megellan: wraps their arms around Irish in a tight hug I know it's hard, Irish. But you're not alone in this. We'll figure things out together.
