choppy

i was going out my parents' gate and was i startled when the neighbor boomed, 'HELLO!'

i greeted back with a cheerful, 'oh, hello!'

he smiled at me then continued shouting 'HELLO!  HELLO!' on his phone...

ahahahahaha...  toinks!!!  ;"p

blind

on the phone with a friend i haven't seen in yearsssss...

friend:  'how's <toot>?'

me:  'oh...  we're not together anymore...  years now...'

friend:  'i knew it wouldn't last...'

really?!

she's not the first person to tell me that...

ugh!

i was shooting for forever!

oh, well...

leave yesterday behind

so yesterday my parents were again at this restaurant they frequent.

well, my mom goes, 'guess what!'

me:  'what?'

mom:  'i was getting food and there right beside me was <my ex>!'

me:  'oh?  how did he end up there?  that's too far from his place...'

mom:  'he was having a reunion with his classmates...  there were so many of them...'

me:  'ah...'

mom:  'one of them said you're fb friends...'

me:  'who?'

mom:  '<name>...'

me:  'oh!  how did she know you?'

mom:  '<ex> introduced me to his classmates...'

really?!

hmmm...  different strokes for different folks...  if that were me, i'd just talk to my in-law but i wouldn't go to the extent of fetching her from her table and bringing her to ours to introduce her to my group.  how is it?  like, 'guys, i'd like you to meet the mom of my ex...'

nyahaha...  whatever for?  ; p

both

friend supposed to come over to my place 12 noon...  12:20 she still wasn't around...

i found it ironic considering that the night before she sent me a message with the quote:

"Punctuality is not about being on time,
it's basically about respecting your own commitments."

wahaha...  i don't really know why she sent me that.  if anything, i should be the one sending that to her, hehe.  there was a time in my life when they were inflicting tardiness on me on a regular basis.  eventually i had enough.

anyway, i decided to walk over to my parents' place as i left my phone there.  guess what, she was there!  based on the text message on my phone, she's been there since 11:55 a.m.!

imagine, i was waiting for her thinking she was late and there she was also waiting for me likewise thinking i was late.

uhm...  my place is different from my parents'.  they are very near but they are completely separate.

you have to be at the right place at the right time.

crashing

friend:  'it's fiesta at pansol...  remember we went before and there were higantes?'

me:  'when <toot> invited us?'

friend:  'yes...  i want to go again...  you want to join?'

me:  'did anyone invite you?'

friend:  'no...  oh, my officemate did...  she said she wants to go...'

uhm...  'go'?  so she's not a host...  doesn't sound like an invitation to me...

actually, if it's fiesta supposedly anyone can just show up...  still, i don't feel like going to anyone's house uninvited...  :"}
