So it was a normal Sunday around 10 PM when I was chilling in my house, and I was sitting by my desk, watching videos on my phone
The browser I use has a built-in ad-blocker, but somehow YouTube updated and found a way to still place ads and REMOVE THE SKIP BUTTON, very fucking infuriating
So I was just watching videos on my phone and another goddamn unskippable ad starts playing
It was some local PSA/charity? about wildlife preservation/anti-deforestation or something and it had a woman talking
She started talking about trying to preserve a large forest near my town, I was getting annoyed at her for wasting 2 minutes of my time
I know I should feel bad since this is a charity and not a commercial but honestly? I really don't care, it's not like I would donate or anything
I start dozing off, sometimes looking around my room for something interesting to look at instead, just waiting for the PSA to end...
But then when I "dozed back in", I realize that my phone wasn't in my hand anymore, and I wasn't in my room, or my home...
I kid you not, I genuinely am not joking, but I somehow magically appeared in the same forest she was talking about
"What the?" "How did I-"
I was so baffled and confused, I genuinely didn't know how I got here
I was still sitting in my chair, somehow the chair also got here
When I realized where I was I got so confused, how the hell did I get here? Was I kidnapped or something?
And then I started panicking, I'm trapped alone in some random forest in the middle of the night without my phone and I have no idea how I got here
I stand up and start looking and wandering around (keeping a close distace to my chair not to get lost) and trying to find a way to go back home, hoping that I can somehow get out, I start panicking that I might have to sleep in the forest and wait to be recused
Luckily I find a road in the distance and start walking to it, When I got to the road I realized I recognized it and that I was not too far from my hometown
I start walking along the road, hoping that I don't get kidnapped by human traffickers or whatever my mom says when I go outside
I started wondering how the hell I got here, how the fuck did I end up in a forest with absolutely no memory of how I got there?
Did I get drugged? Was I kidnapped? Was it because of that PSA?
After some walking I finally saw my house again, and when I went back inside I saw my mom waiting and she started scolding me for going out at night, alone, without her permission when there was school tomorrow
I have no idea what to say to her, I tried explaining that I had no idea how I got to the forest
Obviously she doesn't believe that I "magically teleported" to some random forest from a goddamn YouTube ad
I ask her if she saw me go walk the door or disappear from my room or ANYTHING that could give me answers
She rebuked me and told me that I could have gone out the window, and that I was grounded for a week
Great, fuck me
I go back to my room, and I start obsessively writing down every detail I can remember of what happened in my notes app, trying to wonder how the hell that happened???
I realized that my chair was still gone, I left it in the forest and since I'm grounded I can't go back to the forest to check if it's still there
It's genuinely driving me crazy trying to figure out how the fuck I got in the forest, did I sleepwalk???
I tried looking for the PSA, I tried looking through my search history but obviously they don't store what ads were playing
I tried searching stuff online like "Philippine Wildlife PSA" or "Black Haired Woman Philippine Forest Ad" and obviously I got nothing
I even tried searching on YouTube, and got 4 results semi-related to what I searched and the rest were unrelated garbage cuz YouTube's fucking search engine is a piece of shit
I have no idea how to find the PSA/ad again, but here's some details I remember if you wanna help me find it again:
It was about a forest in the Philippines
It was a black haired woman talking
I remember her saying "in a world dominated by human activity" or something like that
It was for a charity that was called something like: The Philippine Wildlife Front or something
That's genuinely all I can remember as I only was half-paying attention
Please help me find this PSA, It's fucking driving me crazy
