jester's crap

i'm such a jest.

---

a couple of months ago i called an old friend. their yayo answered the phone and asked who i was. i don't know what came over me but on the last minute i decided to give a fake name, a name that i knew she won't recognize. (jake, i think. inspired by romp. eheh.) of course there was confusion on her part. i think i would've made her believe that i was indeed "jake" if only i put more thought into my character and if only i didn't snicker half of the time i was talking to her.

a similar incident happened yesterday. this time with a different friend. her yaya answered the phone and i gave her a bogus name, alexis. (blame the the mp3 that was currently playing on my pc, space sheriff shaider by akira kushida.) as expected there was the intial inquisition then befuddlement.

sya: hello? sino 'to?
ako: si alexis.
sya: sinong alexis?
ako: alexis. we've just met. remember?
sya: wala akong kilalang alexis.
ako: nagkakilala tayo sa rcbc tower...
sya: i'm sorry, but i don't know you.

at this point the way she talked and the tone of her voice prompted me to end my little charade lest if i'd prefer to converse with myself. what ensued afterwards was only due. laughter.

we then talked for about half an hour or more. then natured called. so i then told her that i'll car her as soon as i can. i did my business and after tinkering with my desktop theme for a while (demmet! why can't i change the way my desktop looks? administrator privileges. administrator privileges. bah!) i then called her. a tiny voice answered the other line. her cousin i think.

ako: hello. good evening. pwede po kay sya?
cuz: sino 'to?
ako: si alexis.
cuz: ate si alexis daw. (talking to sya.)
sya: sabihin mo wala akong kilalang alexis. (talking to her nephew. although loud enough for me to hear.)
cuz: wala daw syang kilalang alexis.
ako: kilala nya ako. sabihin mo si alexis.
cuz: kilala mo daw.
sya: wala akong kilalang alexis e.
cuz: wala nga daw syang kilalang alexis e.
ako: sabihin mo magpapakilala ako sa kanya.
cuz: magpapakilala daw...
sya: o, hello. sino 'to?
ako: ako. si alexis... (pulis pangkalawakan...)
sya: wala akong kilalang alexis e. lumalala ata yung allergy ko a. (allergic daw sya sa sinungaling)
ako: hahaha!


maybe i f i didn't act on a whim maybe then my rate of success would increase. or if only i'm good enough to pull of a gary on a jonas.
