i should have done this earlier

i have a $20 bill that's been lying around for years.  i'll forget about it, find it, forget about it again.

well, last week, while sorting my stuff, i stumbled upon it again, with an additional $6 to boot ($5 bill and $1 bill).  i don't even remember anymore why i have those dollars.

this morning, i decided to deposit the bills to my mom's dollar account.  at least it will earn interest in the bank.

no more 'losing' this time.  found, kept and harnessed...  : )

not once but twice

my dad wanted to talk to my cousin so i called him in the province then passed the phone to my dad.  was my dad surprised when they started talking.  it turns out he wanted to talk to my city cousin with the same name.  ooops...

a while later, i hear my dad telling my mom that he needs to go to the barangay office.  i tell him that's actually where i'm going and asked what he needs from there.

my dad went, 'you're going there???'

me:  'yes.  now.'

dad:  'what are you going to do there?'

me:  'i'm going to pick up something.'

dad:  'what barangay?'

me:  'our barangay.  near the plaza.'

dad:  'oh...  i need the barangay in the province.'

eh?!

lightning struck twice...  ; p

it's complicated

whoa!  i just got hold of my phone to register for something when it suddenly rang.  the guy on the other end says he is about to go to my area (not my place/house, no guys allowed there) so he could see me.  ei, such short notice, huh!

good thing he did not spring a surprise and instead called before leaving.  i'm actually at the opposite end of the metro as ' am at my parents' place and not mine.

oh, that's better for him, nearer.

he asks me where i want to go.

i tell him i've been craving mojos and actually had that in mind shortly before he rang.

that's it?  ok.  he'll treat me to shakey's.

yey!  goody-good!  : D

talk about perfect timing and pieces falling into place...  : )

if only other things were like that as well...  :'(

awkward

i wanted to ask a friend how much he paid and how long it took for this particular service.

the original SMS i typed ended with, "Hw much urs?  Hw long?"

and then i suddenly went, uh-oh...  seemed, uhm, too personal, hehe

i modified a bit by sending instead, "Hw much urs?  Hw long w8?"

hmmm... not much of an improvement but somewhat better at least...  : }

midnight joke

text message at 12:03 a.m. from someone i was with less than an hour back:
"Dto n k bhay.  Kaw?"
->  '' am home now.  You?'

i was surprised at the question.  well, i was home but i replied,
"Haha... Labas p, d8...  ; p"
->  'Haha...  Out, date... ; p'

the guy's reply:
"Hndi na. Antok na. D n k mkbangon."
->  'No more.  Already sleepy.  I can't get up anymore.'

ooops...

"Haha...  Antok ka na nga.  Sagot ko yun sa tanong mo 'Kaw?' e"
->  'Haha...  You really are sleepy.  That was my reply to your question, 'You?''

some jokes fall flat...  \m/
