EN: to be worried, to be doubtful
This is your 'loob' (inner self) having cloudy weather. Parang may bagyo sa feelings mo. It's that anxious, unsettled feeling when you're waiting for exam results or when your crush leaves you on 'seen'.
Idiomatic expression. 'mag-' (verb prefix) + 'alapaap' (high clouds) + 'ang' (the) + 'loob' (inner self). Literally 'for the inner self to become cloudy'.
A highly expressive and somewhat poetic way to describe worry or anxiety.
