time

going someplace with my cousin... i was leaving my car at a mall then i'd just be riding with him to the destination...

we agreed to meet 2:30 p.m...

2:06 p.m. he texts me asking where i was...

i replied i was already at the mall...

he picks me up then goes: 'why didn't you text me you were already there?'

me: 'you said 2:30 so i was waiting for 2:30...'

cousin: 'but you were already there... had i known i would have gone earlier...'

me: 'i was there too early... 1:30 i was already there...'

cousin: 'why were you too early?'

me: 'i'm just hitching a ride and i don't want to make the driver wait... i wasn't sure about the traffic so i left early... turns out flow was smooth...'

cousin: 'you should have informed me the moment you arrived...'

me: 'i don't wanna be informing too early... i have a friend who comes an hour ahead of the appointed time... she'd text me she was already at the place... i'd start rushing and i feel like i'm already late even if it's still an hour early...'

choice part

at sitio verde...

me:  'this used to be estrel's...'

cousin-in-law:  'estrel's is at the next block...'

me:  'now...  but this is their original shop...  they moved to the next block just a few years ago...'

i know.  i used to frequent the place.  i love their caramel cake.

there was one at our family gathering last night.  my sister-in-law got me a slice.  (thanks, mamu.  mwuah!!!)  uhm, it was a middle part though.  i want my estrel's side or corner portion.  more caramel...  : )

i went to the table therefore.  my aunt was slicing the cake.

me:  'i'll get one from the side, auntie.  more icing, hehe...'

aunt points to the corner of the cake:  'you want that part?'

me:  'it hasn't been cut yet...  i'm okay with side...'

aunt:  'oh, let's cut it!'

me:  'the shape would become irregular if you slice the corner off...'

aunt:  'it's okay.  the whole thing will be eaten shortly anyway.'

then she gave me a corner part.

it made my day...  : )

late response

friend texted me 6:38 p.m.

i call back 8:58 p.m.
(i was at a family gathering earlier...)

forgetting the text, friend right away goes:  'did i call you???'

wahaha...  my friends know i don't normally  call...  i just call back...

and a lot of times, i respond late...  :"}

i have an excuse:
'you text her;
she doesn't text you back.
she was so excited that you texted her
she fainted.'

; )

look out

raining...

me to mom:  'careful...  you might sliiiiii...!!!!!'

i was the one who almost slipped...  ;"p

enough said

sunday friend tells me that her tablet is full.

i tell her to go with me to the house so we could move some of her photos to my laptop for the meantime.  (we've done it before.  actually up to now her pics are in my drive because she still doesn't have storage.)  we were just four houses away from my place.  we're not talking big-yard mansions here.

well, she didn't want to move her photos yet.

i reminded her processes need wiggle room.  system files require space.  updates require space.  not all photos have to be on her device.

she wouldn't listen.

i didn't force her.

now she regretfully tells me she deleted 200 (!) photos because she'll have to take pictures for the office.  she says next time she'll listen to me.

haha...  not sure i'd still be saying anything next time.  i've already told her so many times.  i do get tired of saying things over and over and over again...  ; p
