Mis-Load

Someone send me a load today (June 15).

I just woke up from my power nap in office when I noticed that the led of my BB is flashing-- an indication that I received a text message. Still in blurry sight, I opened my inbox just to be surprised that someone sent me a load- P50. Actually my suki na ako kung saan ako nagpapaload, ang aking sisterrette. Alam na niya kapag nag text ako ng "Loadan mo ako. Now na.", after 2 minutes, may load na ako ng 100. Minsan lang ako mag load ng 50 kasi madaling maubos yun lalo na sa katulad kong mahilig mag-reply kahit from other network ang ka-text, not even bothering to register for an unli-all text promo. If my load is below 50, super panic na kasi kasi I fee that it is not sufficient enough if ever an emergency comes. Super paranoid lang. Saka my phone is one of the latest model, ang pangit naman kung wala akong load. Nag-cellphone pa ako. Duh!

I'm wondering why m sister would sent me a load e unang-una, hindi naman ako nagpapaload sa kanya. Kakaload ko lang ng 100 the other day kasi I registered to BB Max and Super Unli, and kaninang umaga naman 300 kasi nagregister ako sa BB Social. Hmm. I checked the number who sent the load and I noticed that it is not my sister's number. Hmm… someone missent a load.

My theory was confirmed when I noticed that I missed a call from unknown number. Dahil medyo snobbish ako sa mga strangers na natumatawag or nagte-text sa akin, I sent a message on the unknown number: "Who's this?" Not even a minute passed when the unknown number call me again. Fresh from a power nap, I answer the call with a husky voice, "Hello?"

Stranger: Madam?

Pretty Me: Yes? Who's this?

S: Babae po ba ito?

PM: Yes?

S: Madam, ano po kasi namali po yung send ng load, pwede po bang pakibalik

Evil PM: (To myself) Wha!? Kasalanan ko ba? Kung ipapasa ko yung load, ako naman ang magagastusan dahil sa charge sa pag share ng load. Wow ah!

S: Kahit po 40 na lang po ang isend niyo.

PM: Okay, text me the number.

S: Salamat po Madam.

While waiting for the number, I can't help but to remember the time when I was in the same situation as to the stranger way way back in high school days. While I was in a neighborhood store to load P50  to register to an unlimited promo for 1 week (yes, ganun ka-affordable ang unli noon) I stupidly key in a wrong number, put 5 instead of 6 in the last number. Ganun na lang ang frustration ko. At that time super hirap na hirap ako na makapag-ipon ng P50 mula sa aking P20 na baon araw-araw, makapagregister lang sa unli for a week. I texted the lucky bastard who received my load, but no response. Huhuhu..

In short, I feel the frustration of the stranger because the same thing happened to me. Lucky her, ako ang nakareceived ng load niya. If iba yun, wala na. At mas maswerte siya kasi nasa good mood ako dahil galing ako sa power nap. So it's decision time...

I received the number. The stranger had 4 instead of 5 in the last number. On the  Send To field,  I placed the number excluding 0 and replaced it with 2,  after that typed 47 in the Message field, then clicked Enter. Well, that’s the most kind thing to do since ayokong magastusan ng P2 dahil sa slight "stupidity" ng iba and at the same time I got P1 as a…  well, dayos perwisiyo. I can't believed that I'm that good. 0:)

Moral of the story: Be careful next time. Double check you number para walang maabala. Buti sana kung kasing bait ko ang nakatanggap ng load.
