Okay, so this was pretty juvenile … but fun!

I got a missent text message that went like this: (sic)

“HeLLo vincE,cenxa na ha..nabgla lng tlaga me knina eh..dko tlga kayang iwan bf q..mahal na mahal q tlaga xa eh,cnabi q nman sau un db?..sori tlaga,mkakakta ka pa ng mgmamahal sau..“

Roughly translated, it goes, “Oh, hey Vince, know what? We just can’t be beybeh, I’m still with my dude, yeh, don’t be sad though, there’s BOUND to be someone who’ll love you.”

Oh, hey, I’m NOT Vince.  I was never Vince.  Not drunk, not sober.

Although, the overall … melodrama in the message spoke to me.  I was ROFLing upon reading it, and also, I’ve always wanted to be in a thick soap-opera/telenovela plotline! There was a love triangle going on, and I just got cast as “Vince.”

I did what any rational person would do: I called her up, berating her for breaking up with “me.” (I got this message in the office, and they began to wonder who I was fighting with over the phone)

She hung up!

I sent a message demanding that the hurt be resolved!  That being left hanging ain’t so fun and whatnot.  (Yes, in txt-sp33k.)  For which I got this reply: (sic)

“Bkt? Pinaasa b kta?. Sumakay kalang s pnh0n ah, kc lam u n ng.away kmi ng bf q… D aq 2lad ng ibng bbae n ini.icp mho n mdali lng mkuha…“

Ohoho!  This translates to: “Did I leave you hanging?  You took advantage of the situation — you knew that me and the bf were having a fight… I’m not like dem other girls…”

The plot thickens!

So the girl and her bf were having a fight — and Vince was there to … take advantage!  By this point I replied with something along the lines of: “I stood up to my mom for you!”  I got this: (sic)

“Cnu ba ang babaeng pnaglaban m0 sa nanay m0 ha?…kagabi pa nga tau nagkausap,nagkakilala,taz pnaglaban m0?..adik ka yata eh!“

Aha!  So they just met the night before, probably succumbed to lust-at-first-sight!  (or maybe not, who knows, other than those two … and me?)  Well, cover blown, I was guessing that, by now the girl would’ve realized that it wasn’t actually “Vince” of whom she was exchanging messages with.  (Oh wait, she didn’t even recognize the voice from before, so …)

Told her that she was “different/special.”  What I got was this instead: (sic)

“Wag n wg kna mgttx d2 ah.,“

Booo! She just told me to not send messages anymore — obviously I sent a last one, telling her that I’ll be distancing myself (in soap-opera-melodramatic prose, of course!) for her happiness, etc,etc, with a final disclaimer that, chickens that are tied-up are easier to catch.  (Manok na nakatali, yeh)  For which, I got: (sic)

“Tang ina m0!..an0ng pnagsasabi m0?..kapal ng mukha m0,kgbi nga lng tau nagkta eh!..cno ba ako ha?”

Crapinahat!  Profanity!  Also, she’s asking who SHE was.  How would I know?  Cover blown!  LOL

This is the sort of prank that you discover the first time you discover SMS — I was in it for the melodramatic-soap-opera experience. 

Moral of the story: Don’t cheat!  ;p  Or, well, don’t send apologetic-messages-to-the-people-you-cheat-with,-who-may-have-given-you-the-wrong-number.

Or was I the one being prank’d?  Is it a double-prank involving some far-off friend disguising-as-two-timing-one-night-stand girl?  Does someone go out there blowing chances with girls with boyfriends who give out my number in lieu of theirs?  (Did I use “in lieu” properly? lol)
