Love Is The Answer

I was supposed to meet with a friend last Friday at Robinsons Galleria, National Bookstore, 6pm.

Before that, we texted each other to confirm and were indeed on our way to the meeting place.

She is the friend who was instrumental in me getting a very nice Olympus C770 ultrazoom digital camera and am meeting her that night to give the last installment for the said cam.

So she arrived at NBS at 6pm, I texted that I will just inform her as soon as I arrive. I was caught in the Ortigas traffic so I arrived around 6:30pm.

I looked around and didn't find her. I went out and texted her. After a while, I dialled her number but it just kept on ringing (two mobile numbers, btw!).

So I went back to NBS and looked some more. Exasperated, I ended up buying a copy of Pilmap Travel & Leisure where my Singapore article was published (plugging!). That was 7:08pm.

I went out NBS and called my friend again. She may just be around the mall window shopping.

My kind of luck! The phones just kept on ringing and her Smart phone was even out of coverage area. Shussshhh.

So I went to the grocery instead, bought dog food. Then proceeded to KFC to have my dinner. I was hoping that she will text me to inform where she was.

Anyway, around the same time I was texting two more people so I was sure that my mobile was working fine.

I left Galleria around 8 without a text from my friend.

The next day, she informed me that she was at the meeting place till 7:30 and was waiting for the fx till 8.

Weird. All my calls were received much later. It was really freaky. First time that it happened to me.

So anyway, we weren't meant to meet that time. For whatever reason, we will decipher later.
