Is He Or Is He Not My Friend?

Regular readers of my blogs would know that I lost my dear Dino slightly over a month ago.

There was a friend who got news that Dino died by reading my blog. He did not leave me a comment or called me up like some of my friends did. I appreciate those who took the trouble to call me up from out of state and even out of the country, to ask if I am fine and offered their condolence, knowing how close I am with Dino.

So there was this friend who after reading my post, wrote on his FaceBook profile where it says, "What are you doing now?" and he wrote that he was "Sorry about Dino".

Yesterday, he sent me a text message, about forty days after the tragic incident and asked me how I am and said that he was sorry about Snoopy. Niamah... is he my friend or what? If he is going to say the wrong name, might as well don't say anything, right? I was so pissed off!

Snoopy and Dino may be "just animals" to others but they are family to me. It's just as bad as knowing that someone's father died and there are people offering condolence because the mother died.

Me, No Fun?

The other day, I asked if I should let my other friend know that the person that he added to his FaceBook account is my friend who is a man but created number accounts to play games on FaceBook.

Guess what I subsequently found out? That this friend who now spots multiple personalities is being courted by some of MY friends! I was told that there were FIVE of them but I have no idea who in particular.

What could I do since I do not know who? I threatened to expose my friend but he told me not to. he says that he just wants to play and that I am "no fun" because I refused to play along with him.

Err... am I really "no fun"? This is way too rampant than I have originally thought. I think I better stay out of this. "Her" profile picture must have been too enticing. SIGH!

To Tell Or Not To Tell

I’ve got a friend who has created over thirty FaceBook profiles so that he could level himself up in games. He asked me to add him all and each time I join him in games, he would get additional points. So I did, since he is my good friend.

I recently discovered that another good friend of mine has added this friend’s fake profile as a buddy. Hhmmm Of course, my friend’s fake profiles are made up of men and women.

The problem is that this second friend added a fake female profile of my first friend. I know it sounds a little complicated, but the gist of it is that my second friend is now trying to be friend his new buddy, who is actually my friend’s fake female profile.

Should I let him know? My first friend, the one with multiple accounts, told me not to let the cat out of the bag but loyalty to my second friend dictates otherwise.

What should I do since both are good friends?

Old School Mate + Failing Memory = Embarrassment

Today I was in town and went on my usual way when someone asked me, "Are you so-and-so?" So I said, "Yeah," and realised that she was one of my schoolmates.

Wow, I can't believe that she could still recognise me after all these years. It has been eons since we left school and don't tell me I did not change? I know I am so much older now *sigh*

But she, on the other hand, is so much slimmer than I remember her to be, and even more beautiful, if that is possible.

So we made small talk, but all the time, I was mentally scratching my head, trying hard to recall her name, and for the life of me, I did not have any clue. And how could I ask when she can remember mine, and I can't hers? That would be very embarrassing to both of us.

Anyway, I felt so awkward. When I reached home, I straightaway dug out my 101 school magazine which was published when I was in Form Four. Yep, I saw her photo. Oh her name is this. She was in the last class, no wonder I do not have a lasting impression of her. So embarrassing, man!

And this isn't the first time it has happened to me. Sometimes when these old friends see my puzzled look, they offered me their names LOL

I wonder if their memory is THAT good or if it is because I still look the same as when I was in Secondary school! Can't be, right?

This Is NOT The Way To Widen Your Circle of Friends

The other day, I received an e-mail, a mass mailing one with undisclosed recipients (god knows how many addresses this guy blind copied to) with the subject title "friendship" and his message went like this:

Hi

How many people received this e-mail, do let me know. I wonder how he harvested my e-mail address. For one, none of my friends forwarded any e-mail "cos of our future we hv 2 work hard............" to me.

And look at his little NOTE at the end of the letter. The cheek of him! hahaha
