Just a little background on how I came to know Congressman Joel V.: Remember I go to MORO almost everyday to do therapy? Yeah, that's where I met him. He is also one of the patients there treated for ACL as well.
Okay, so this is what happened a month ago: Cong. brought Werther Originals Chewy Caramels and naturally I asked for some. (where there's food, there's Cynth) After a while:
Me: Cong. do you still have more caramels? Pahingi naman. Cong: Last na toh eh. But tell you what, I'm gonna bring for you tomorrow. Me: Yay! Thank you! :)
The next day I didn't show up. This is the scenario that took place when I wasn't there: Random person=RP
Cong: Saan si Cynth? RP: Wala pa. Cong: I brought her a pack of caramels. I went pa to Duty Free to buy her this. It's in the south. RP: Sige, buksan na natin yan! Cong: NO, we'll wait for Cynth. This is for her. I promised her.
BUT I didn't go.. :( So they opened it and finished all of it.
The next day: When I arrived...
RP: Cynth!!! You're here! Did you forget something? Me: Huh? Noooo... why? Aspi: Does caramel ring a bell? Me: No. Why are you asking me stupid questions? RP: Cynth, Kobe Bryant is brown.. and he's very sticky and chewy... Me: Im confused. what are you people trying to say? Why are you asking me so many questions? Cong: Hindi mo ba talagang maalala? Me: uhmmmm... not really...
Back to present: Today--> May 23, 2008
Me: Cong long time no see! Musta na? Cong: Okay naman. Me: Hey, diba you were gonna bring me some caramels?? Cong: *Looking amused* So you finally remember? After a month... Me: Why? Did you bring na ba? Cong: Yes! I went to paranaque to get you a pack. It's so hard to find and you didn't even show up! Worse, you even forgot all about it. Me: OMG! I'm so sorry... I will just relish nalang the thought that you actually brought me. *drama time* Oh, my heart is crying... Cong: Grabe naman toh paul o... hindi ko na makaya to.. ang kulit! Sige na nga I'm going to get you another pack if I go to the south again. Me: Yay! I will pray everyday that you'll go back to the south. Cong: In the meantime, Im going to torture you with guilt! Me: Waaaaahhhh I'm so sorry na!!!
