i had ooops text encounters yesterday.

a little past 5 pm i receive text from someone saying, "Punta k makati mamaya."

i replied i won't as i was already there this morning and will be spending the night at my parents' place.  i further said i'll be at makati again the following day and will be sleeping at my place.

the reply i got was, "Ok. Hehehe.  Punta me glorieta."

ooops, so he was referring to himself not to me  ->  the k in his text meant 'ko.  i thought it was ka, ha-ha-ha.  am i self-centered or what?  i'd say what, ha-ha.  what on earth do i care where he goes?  i did not ask.  ooops, just ribbing, mon ami.  you've grown dear to me.  but that's as far as it could ever go  ; )

and then from 11:27 pm to 12:10 am, i received 5 text messages from someone explaining something that happened last friday yet.  huh?!  i did not get to read the 4 earlier messages right away as i forgot my phone in the car.  midnight i remembered and went out to get it and heard the notification for the fifth text.  only then did i see the earlier texts and was wondering what on earth the late-night/past midnight explanations were all about.  i told the texter i don't understand her texts and asked whether i should call.  she said yes so i did.

well, what do you know.  she says someone called her and read to her my blog so she was doing all this explaining.  really???  i couldn't believe someone bothered to read my blog late night and made it her business to read part of it to someone else.  whoa!  plenty of spare time in her hands with no better thing to do, eh.  enviable or pathetic?  ' am definitely not envious, yuck!

i tell the texter i wasn't mad at her.  i said my blog was actually a happy blog.  title was bad to good; last sentence was all's well that ends well.  she didn't have to explain/re-explain anything to me.  true i was irked initially, but it's not something i dwelt on.  i have better use of my time, you know  ; )

she tells me her caller did not tell her about the rest of the blog.  oh.

purveyor of good/bad news, next time you feel the urge to dip your fingers in other people's pie and relay things late night, whatever time of the day, actually, please include the context.  it was a long blog; it was a happy blog; why focus on the irked part?  context, ok... context.
