This Christmas was another lean Christmas…I didn’t get that many presents. And I didn’t get any of the things I listed in my grown-up Christmas list. However, I did get some really nice presents…blouses, tank tops, shorts…some sweets I can’t eat. I listed here the top 5 presents I got this year…(check out number 4!)

Hehe, got tamad to paste it here=)
First of all, NO, this is not a bastos post. Tsk tsk…you and your dirty mind…just because I said “wonderful things that happen under the table”…
Something happened this afternoon that made me muse about the many wonderful things the cellphone has allowed us to do….besides being able to take and send pictures of your Garfield stuffed toy in compromising poses.
We were at a lunch table and the person across from me and I were texting about the person right beside me, without the person beside me knowing about it.
I’m sure you’ve also done this. We do it lots of times in meetings…wherein we all look like we are listening and interested…but under the table, we are all texting each other things like, “Grabe, kelan ba to matatapos!”, “Gutom na ko!”, “Ano ba yan, di pa ba siya titigil magsalita?”, ”Uupakan kita pag magtanong ka pa ng question! Hahaba nanaman yung discussion!”.
So I made list of some of the things that are now easier for us to do because of texting…
1. Real-time chismisan
Before: You had to wait for the person to go to the CR or leave before you and your friends can talk about him or her.
Now: While you are all sitting at the table, you can instantly text your friend, “Shet mare, ang cute niyang katabi mo, pakilala mo ko, pero discreet lang ha!” or “Yung katabi mo ba boy or girl?”….
Situational:
Friend A says, “I’m going out with this guy named Chuva Chuva…he’s so gwapo and bait to me“…you can immediately text friend B from across the table, “Eh dba girlfriend ni Chuva Chuva si Chenes Chenes?”, to which friend B doesn’t know the answer so she forwards it to friend C. Then friend C replies to friend B, “OO, 1 year na sila ni Chenes Chenes!”, And so friend B texts back to you, “Sila nga ni Chenes Chenes! OMG, number 2 si friend A! Shud we tell her?” to which you will reply, “Hinde, hayaan mo siyang mapahiya!”. Confusing? That’s real-time chismisan for you.
I finally solved the case of my missing cupcakes!
And found some old photos of Garfield the CatWhore…
I killed my dentist. Okay…I didn’t really kill my dentist…but I was her last patient on the night she and her family died.
She was my orthodontist when I was about 11. My grandma had paid her A LOT for my braces (braces were still very expensive back then). I had difficulty stopping thumb-sucking (yeah, liked to suck;P) when I was young, causing my front teeth to be sungki, plus I had what they called ‘bimaxillary protrusion’ (too many teeth for my small mouth).
After a few months with my upper teeth brace already installed, my dentist and her entire family (husband, son, yaya) died in a tragic accident. I was their last patient that night. I remember they were in a hurry to leave because they wanted to go to Landmark. They died that night.
I tell this story of how my dentist died (was murdered according to people) to every new dentist I went to afterwards to scare my dentists from giving me pain. It’s weird that I don’t get sick and the last regular doctor I’ve had was my pediatrician…but when it comes to dental problems, I have soooo many. I’m always on the dentist chair and I’ve even developed a high tolerance for pain. After my original orthodontist died, I went from dentist to dentist trying to continue the treatment. The braces festered on my mouth for over 3 years. Finally, we gave up and just had them taken out.
Now, at 26, I have to get braces again because my lower teeth have started moving and squishing each other. What an awful time to have braces! I’m old and single! How will I catch a boy now that I look like a high school student with these braces! AND I have been recently required to wear eyeglasses. Eyeglasses and braces! The worst combination!
