WHaT'S oN MY SH3LF???

The 8th Commandment by Lawrence Sanders

Read it and loved it. Go ahead and meet Dunk, yeah that's the protagonist's nickie

Lawrence Sander's book: Timothy's Game

Saturday, April 23, 2005

yesterday, met love at the hotel she and her siblings were at. geez had to walk from pedro gil to a. mabini! never been to manila alone, have always gone there with my cousin or with my sister. it was a long walk and she told me it would be short. typical love, she said that the map seems to make it look like the places are just a "thumb away." oh my god in a scale of what???? anyway, i was so happy to see her... i've been bored to kingdom come here. funny how i actually miss her antics.

she hasn't change in a bit. same old same old love. still hates the sun and wacky as ever. she said they were here to pick up her sister's husband at the airport. since she still has some time to spare, brought her over to see the shoebox room i live in in pasay. managed to drag her to makati. went to glorietta and greenbelt. woke up valdz from his sleep so he could meet us and pay our bill at teriyaki boy which amounted to over php500. he didn't even get to eat the food. since by the time he arrived, we were done with our lunch and the ever gallant valdz (with a little prodding from the both of us and a guilty conscience - go ask love why), took out his envelope and paid for it without even batting an eyelash.

leave it to love to make that day memorable. never a dull moment when you're with her. armed with her usual notoriety, she even managed to play a prank on pres. it was all valdz fault, sinimulan ni valdz tinapos ni love. he texted pres, who by the way is in baguio on his second year at the pma, that i happen to be married. of course he texted me and ask if it's true. of course we both know it isn't. the text message pres sent me was dated april 19 but i didn't see it until yesterday. forgive me pres, cellphones are not allowed on the floor. we leave our phones with the guard and the guards read our messages = ) joke. i showed it to love and promptly decided on a course of action - to take it one level higher (or worst depending on how you see it). she decided "to see the story to it's end."

she told pres that i am not married but living in with someone. and she even made up a name and decided on ryan (only god knows why? - ryan cabrera was probably singing a song then).

pres texted me that a certain chismosa just told him that i have an S.O. named ryan. i asked him "cno chismosa na yan?" and he replied "katabi mo." i replied "si valdz? sure k ba chismosa? bka chismoso? pres, replying in the affirmative on the chismosa, i think sealed it.

love told me to deny the "issue." so i did (i never had a choice - couldn't say no to her, really - or she'll twist my arm - haha just kidding love). there's a saying curiousity kiled the cat - and pres is a very curious cat. pres being the persistent person that he is, texted me again. so supposedly i got pissed and replied with "o ngayn? naniwala ka naman kaagad. cno ba yan chismosa na yan at gigilitan ko. di marunong magtago ng sikreto!" so i'm supposed to be pissed at love who's pissed at pres for letting me know that he knows about my so called secret.

then, love sent pres a message that said: i am furious with her for revealing my secret. that i am not speaking to her at all and that i just told her that she could hotfoot it to her hotel alone. and since she's not familiar around manila - it's a big problem of course. so pres is is of course very guilty.

pres called love asking her if i am royally pissed. and prankster that she is, gave a very convincing story that i am. you should've her seen her. joash never stood a chance. he really fell for it.

love and i have never really had a huge argument (she's a sagittarius). we have always gone on fine. if i'm mad she just let's me be and vice versa. we were just at powerbooks looking up what sign works best with what and our signs are compatible in terms of that (read my blog entry dated february 27, me aries you...).

she told me pres is having an exam that day. i always feel guilty too quickly so i told her "bawiin mo na." but she thought why not let him stew on it for a little bit more. so messages went back and forth between them. pres has not sent me any mesages during that time. he really fell for that cock and bull story - hook, line and sinker!

when pres asked how she's suppose to go back to her hotel, she told him that valdz will take her back there since i am incommunicado. i went home past 7 pm and still haven't told pres that the jokes on him. around 8 pm she texted me that since pres is having an exam she decided to tell him the truth but pres haven't replied yet. so i told love that he's probably trying to calm himself before he replies. and sure enough when pres replied it was in ALL CAPS!

it turns out that he was late for class because of what we did so he was "punished" by being made to clean (i don't know what). and that he was not able to concentrate on his exam because he thought that we HAD A HUGE ARGUMENT! so he promised a resbak! so i told love, i was gonna apologized but i was afraid i was gonna get a message in ALL CAPS! as well. so she said she'll just calm him down and then i can text him hahaha - which i never did since i fell asleep. the nerve -you would say, but i was really tired with all our walking that day and i have to go to work the next day.

she was forwarding me the messages she was getting from pres. she had somehow calmed him down if we take the low caps as an indication. of course, pres is still crying out vengeance. and to that she said "can't wait." oh well, good luck pres! looks like you're gonna need it. you're going up against the master prankster hahaha.

hope to see you again love!! till the next gullible person we meet",> tata!

whoops: my phone's ringing. O oh it's pres. pay back time i guess ;) oh well...
