EN: very anxious; extremely restless
This is 'balisa' on steroids. This is when you've moved past 'seen' and are now contemplating if you should call them, or if you should just throw your phone into the Pasig River and start a new life as a hermit. This is peak anxiety, the final boss of 'kaba'. You're not just worried, you're walking back and forth, checking your phone every 5 seconds, and questioning all your life choices.
ROOT MEANING: anxious; restless; worried
