When it rains, pour your heart out with TikTok

With the rain pouring down, the #pickupohugot challenge became this week’s TikTok trending challenge. Perhaps the downpour grounded our users indoors and gave them a chance to reconnect with their hearts.

For those who aren’t in-the-know yet, a pickup /ˈpikˌəp/ is a conversation opener to romantically engage someone. Meanwhile, a hugot /ˈho͞o, ɡɒt/ (pull out) is an act of verbally pulling out strong sentiments from the depths of the heart.

With your relationship status, we’ll help you decide if huhugot ka ba? O pi-pickup? And, of course, with more feels this rainy season.
