I am not good in speaking Ilocano or Tagalog, so I will speak in English.

Hey Reddit, I'm a 22F currently living in Cebu. I’m writing this because I’ve spent years wondering about a guy I met once when I was 11, and I want to see if the internet can help me find a closing chapter to a real-life Just One Day story.

I am a Psychology major and I am very familiar with the Zeigarnik Effect wherein our brains obsess over unfinished stories/memories, basically why we have so many "What ifs" in our minds. But here goes nothing?

On April 4, 2015 (Black Saturday, during Severe Tropical Storm), my family was traveling in Ilocos Norte. After having dinner at a Chowking chain, a flood was looming and all nearby motels were completely full. Through our mutual family friends—the A***y family from Cavite— I think theyre Born Again Christians? They have a family friend who lived in Ilocos Norte. That family friend (A mom, a dad, two sons) took us in. They lived in a wooded area.
I met their two sons:
JR: He was 12 at the time (now around 23-24). He was incredibly nice to me, I assumed he likes to read because he had a big and tall bookshelf, and owned a guitar. Because I couldn't speak Tagalog well, he tried to speak English to me. He wore glasses.
Joefer / Joepher: His younger brother, who was about 2 years younger than me(9-10 yrs old then, 19-20 yrs old now). He and I played Talking Ginger on my old iPad. He was very talkative and he had fun with my younger brother.
The next morning, their family made us a breakfast of sandwiches and tomatoes before we drove off to Baguio City. A year later, JR actually asked the twins who we were both friends with to send his regards to me all the way in Cebu, proving he remembered me, but we completely lost contact after that.
All he ever knew about me was my nickname and the fact that I am from Cebu.
If you are JR, if you know a JR with a younger brother named Joefer from a protestant community in Ilocos, or if you belong to that church network, please reach out. I just want to say hello and see how life has been treating you after 11 years. I just want to know if you're okay. I also want to be reassured that I didn't make this up because my family doesnt remember JR. Our family friend has lost contact. The twins' mom said "wala na kami g balita sa kanila eh"

Edit for additional info: they almost had no neighbors and were in the middle of nowhere. There were a lot of trees. I was actually genuinely scared. He woke up early to say goodbye to me. We left for Baguio around 5 AM.

But yeah, even after years later, I still think of him and how nice he was to me. With wishful thinking, I hope he remembers me too.

The last I have heard from him was his regards a year after we met which was in April 2016. Its been 10 years and I just want to know where you are, how you are, if youre real, or if you even remember me.

Thank you, Reddit ❤️

Hello! May alam ba kayo or masa suggest na psychologist or psychotherapist around Ilocos Sur? Yung affordable lang sana and also a good listener and hindi mang jujudge. I feel like very rare kase case ko, and I just want someone to open up and talk to since it's bothering me.

One who listens and hindi magsasabi ng advice na parang insensitive or invalidating sa feelings. May mga nababasa kase akong mga ganon na experience and I don't want sana to have that kind of experience e. Thank you!
