no inkling whatsoever

an officemate was telling me there's someone who's interested in me and i supposedly caught this guy's attention years back yet  ->  when we were both still taken.  (ouch!)

really???  who???

she would only give me clues.  and those clues made me zero in on the wrong guy, haha.  in exasperation, she allowed me to ask her more questions provided they'd be answerable by only yes or no.

i go, 'how many can i ask?'

initially she says 50 then lowers it to 25.

me:  25?  ok.

i then went on to write 25 letters from the alphabet ( all except y ) then asked her to tick letters found in the guy's name.

she didn't like to at first, saying that is cheating, but then i insisted that is a valid yes or no.

so tick she did.

aha!  i got it!!!

him?!  whoa!  i never would have guessed...

not now

someone wanted to gift me with a car on my birthday.  whuaaatttt???  no, thanks.  you would have to own my heart for me to allow you to give me something so dear.  the way things are right now, the only vehicles i could accept are matchboxes.  sigh...

poverty

i parked on the street yesterday.  then this morning, i noticed that one of my headlights was broken.  given the location of the hole, it looks like it was intentionally poked and damaged.  i remember when i gassed up last night, the attendant also could not open my trunk.  it was ok when i went to the mall last weekend.  according to the attendant, it seems someone tried to force it open.  hmmm... i think i know what for and why.  sad...

my luck

yesterday, my officemates were talking about the forthcoming raffle and wishing that they'd win.  i said it's ok for me not to win because, as they say, "lucky at cards, unlucky in love."

guess what, someone was telling me that this morning my name was among the first called as winner in the raffle.  oooops...

unintentional

i got a 'message memory full' message in my phone last night.  to free up space, i checked-out old messages deleting those i could forego.  while reading a certain message, a call came in.  i therefore pressed what i thought was the key that would take the call.  guess what, it rang instead the sender of the message i was reviewing.  oh, no!  aaaarrrrgghh!!!
