Unforgettable

You know your life has changed forever when that one very special encounter that happened a certain time ago will always stay in your mind.

It's that UNFORGETTABLE kasi

No, I'm not in love.

Let me tell you a story about me, the trash and a big ass creature. A few weeks ago, I was throwing the trash out. It was mga 1 ish in the morning(puyatera ako to the max), when suddenly I saw a creature in the shadows, the moonlight--more like the faint light from the fluorescent bulb outside the house--reflected on its face. I got scared. It was....breathing. And it was....croaking. :|:|:|

OMG. I recognize the silhouette of the creature from my Science books and the Muppet Shows I watch as a kid--IT WAS A FROG! It was this huge:



And it looked at me like this:




okay, I am exaggerating. But it was as huge as the kittens here. And the kitty cats here are a bit larger than normal kitty cats. God. I got scared but at the same time oddly interested so I tried to take a step closer to look at it but it hopped away heavily like an obese amphibian.

The fact that it ACTUALLY moved scared me so I immediately closed the door shut, breathed rapidly and had to send a message to my best friend about it on Facebook.

I told my family about it and they were like "meh." It was only weeks before this happened that I called them down because there was a "big" frog and they just saw it was something a bit larger than small bar of soap. But I told them that it's different this time. The frog was HUGE and I swore I heard a loud thump when it hopped away.

My brother told me that big frogs are called toads. A duh. I knew that but I know what toads look like. The big ass frog didn't look like a toad. It looked like an abnormally large frog. It was gargantuan, enormous, humongous!

For reference, this is what a toad looks like:



Now this is la frog

Okay let's just say it was a toad but I will still say frog nonetheless

My dad jokingly asked me why didn't I kiss the animal since it might be my frog prince. I bluntly told him the frog went away so how could I kiss him? (I don't care if this frog will give Prince Harry a run for his crown when I kiss it, ayoko magkaroon ng tanginang kulugo. *jitters*). Plus, I thought Frog Prince was a FROG, not a nasty toad.

But it was just so cool. I HAD to see it again. So I went out with a flashlight and looked for the silly frog. It would be easier if the front of our house was clear and all but it wasn't. There were roofs and ply wood outside since one of my neighbors(who lives a door away, by the way)was doing a "little" renovation to their house and the amount of the stuff they needed overflowed to my house's area. So you could just imagine me looking under the roofing stuff and ply wood and even a toilet just to find that oh-so-cool creature.

But alas, NONE.

I thought I would see it again, but maybe that first encounter with BAF(Big Ass Frog)will remain my last for now. Every time I throw out the trash, I wonder if I'll get to see BAF tonight. Oh well.


I'll just be here waiting for you to come. :D

Not really related but funny story: I told my mom about the frog(she wasn't awake that night when I told the other family members about the frog)and she wasn't as shocked as them. She said that back in her province, she and her cousins saw BAFs all the time. There was a time they attempted to kill a BAF(ay. Galit ang PETA)by dropping a BAR(Big Ass Rock)on it but the BAR just bounced of the BAF. Wow. BAFs that strong pala. XDD
