I once wore pixie short glasses and yellow rimmed hair

My cell phone inbox is crowded and for want of more space, I shall share a few sms exchanges here for everyone to enjoy. It's all crazy.

Bea Quitiquit sent me the most awesome birthday greeting last year:
Happy birthday to you, do you wear color blue? It comes in dark navy and baby...But looks best when on you! (sent 1:35 am, June 3, 2007)
 - The year 2007 brought me back to a fixation to the color blue. I sort of vented out on the fabulous Bea Q and she remembered to put that on this greeting.

From the hot hot hottie, Edsel Mendoza, who merely quoted what I wrote in his Starbucks journal but thoughtfuly texted this to me as a birthday greeting: "On this day, in Great Lakes, Illinois, the most awesone, most god-awesome, serene, vocal talent turns 26" (sent 7:02 pm, June 3, 2007) Edsel is a darling. I can never shut up about that. No, I can never.

Before Niki delos Reyes-Torres lost his previous phone, he sent this as a forwarded message: - Natigil na ang iyong pagiging TAO. Para muling maging tao, txt HALIMAW OFF20 (1 day), HALIMAW OFF40 (2 days), at HALIMAW OFF 80 (4 days) to 2870. (sent 8:37 pm, June 22, 2007)

I was drunk texting people in Baguio:
 - I define bizarreness thus: when children teach their parents how to drink tequila. I just had a whole glass. Baguio helleeew!! (sent 10:54 pm March 21)

Hope Swann, the perkiest thing in Manila, texted me this rant while in the middle of class (or I think she was ranting to me at least): Classmate: there were nazis in The Sound of Music?! I didn't know the movie was set during World War I!

Ahhh....Christmas drunk texting. This one's from Ria Ortega:
 - Just taking the time in the midst of a semi-drunken stupor to let you know that your friendship means a lot to me! I love you! Merry Christmas!

Gary's wasn't really a text message sent in a semi-drunken stupor, but it's good enough:
 - To all my friends and family who sent me love, luck, and good wishes for 2007, "It didn't work!" Please send cash for 2008! Happy New Year to you and your family!

There was an incident during a zitsprobe for Once Upon A Mattress wherein my bag was misplaced. It was messy incident, but nothing to make my belongings impossible to retrieve. Bea Q tried her best in helping me out. She got a hold of my bag (which of course had my cellphone) and texted me, in an effort to let me know IMMEDIATELY that my bag is safe: Mission accomplished! hahaha (sent 3:29 PM February 2, 2008)

Rod and I were going to pick Dave Corpin up. Dave gave us unmistakable directions:
 - Sa corner pagpunta ka ng South Super Market. I'm wearing blue shirt, jeans, backpack and pleasing personality. (sent 9:21 pm February 27, 2008)

Speaking of Rod, he has something of a gamer quirk:
 - Try to find a ride to McDonalds. Wait for the Pajero there. (message since deleted)
He plays too much rpg and point and click games. But there's more, and he hams it up this time:
 - Use the key to get in the house. Silence must be maintained as you enter =P Where are you? (sent 2:40 am, March 29, 2008) Brotherly love attached in that one.

A (remembered) conversation between Rod and I concerning the kind of violin strings that I needed for Celeste (my violin):
Rod: PJ, What kind of string do you need? We're at Southmall.
Pammu: omg you're going to buy me strings? reeallyy? E! E! I NEED E!
*some 5 minutes after sending this message and possible SENDING IT OUT LOUD OMG*
Pammu: Uh, that didn't sound right.
Rod: Haha. Oo nga.

More from Rod...the highlight of the Once Upon A Mattress cast party, after Rod goes all the way to the house from Zobel to check and see of I really did lock the backdoor (because I panicked and parents coming home to an unlocked but otherwise safe backdoor isn't at all appealing):
 - You locked it. Man, you owe me. (sent 2:03 pm, April 4, 2008)
I treated him to a nice cold drink from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

I was an executive meeting and wanted a way to distract myself (ADD, you have become me!): Joms? I'm at CFAC (A BF church a stone's throw away from Joms' house) Because I need an excuse to see you, can I borrow your Rapunzel script? (sent 2:02 pm March 29, 2008)

Matthew Arcilla plays god to my music tastes:
Tunng is your new favorite electronic folk pop group. So Matthew has spoken, so it is law. (sent 3:08 pm, April 28, 2008)

Chino shows up on a sports show on channel 4. He was promoring his summer Karate classes and brought his minions to the show for a demo. At one point, he called these kids his smurfs, to which I text: Chino, ang gagaling ng mga smurfs mo ah. He one-ups me, replying with:
 - Ako si Papa Smurf ;-) (sent 6:23 pm, March 3, 2007)

Niki delos Reyes-Torres' April Fools text message:
 - Hey, please pray for me. I just came from the doctor. Last week, I got tested. I kinda delayed my trying to get the results coz I was afraid. Well, in short, may sakit ako. I jsut learned from the family physician na GUMUGWAPO RAW AKO!!! Hindi raw ito nakakahawa, pero di na raw ito magagamot.
APRIL FOOLS! (sent 3:45 pm April 1, 2207)

Uli Oposa has been hanging out with Mikki Villa too much.
 - Guys, Mikki is confirmed bakla. According to my reliable source na itago na lang natin sa pngalang "Nani", si Mikki daw ay umiyak habang nanonood ng "The O.C."  (sent 3:21 pm April 9, 2008)

To people who are familiar with Muntinlupa politics and, well, Uli Oposa:
 - Kamukha ni Mikki so Tita Lor Fresnedi (sent 2:57 pm May 16, 2007)
Lor Fresnedi did not win the 2007 municipal elections in Muntinlupa; it has yet to be contested if Mr. Oposa's observation (which has circulated a lot of circles) influenced Mrs. Fresnedi's demise.

Si Nikki talaga:
 - I have a new hobby: Abstract painitng. No Paint, no brush. I just think about it. (sent 5:52 pm June 1, 2007)

Rod's typo didn't make sense (at first): Just saw Jessica Zafra sa Itakianis. (sent 10:29 pm May 15, 2007)

My friend Esther's cheeky Christmas greeting: Pwede bang weeweechu sa iyo? Ok lang? Weeweechu a Merry Christmas! Weeweechu a Merry Christmas! Weeweechu a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ;-) (sent 10:46 pm December 11, 2007)

To all Corduroys. This is concerning "confirmed" and "confeermed." My brother was trying his painstaking best to relay the story, but gives in and texts me: Haha, I was sharing it to Cybil, tapos I had to cut the story short coz I forgot the word. (sent 7:42 pm March 14, 2008) Awwww Rod.

I rant about clouds because really, they have caused panic attacks as of late. Micko replies: Run for cover! Zeus wants to rape ya dude! Then again, you would become mother to a godling! (sent 6:06 pm April 10, 2008)

Chino rips his pants. He rips his pants somewhere in the middle of warm ups for TWDS at Zobel. I send this message to Ria (should've done the same to Niki, but oh well): Karma is when........Chino breaks his pants during warm ups (sent 2:49 April 2008)

...To which Ria replies:
 - bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Some 15 minutes later, Ria hasn't finished laughing yet:
 - WAIT MERON PA! bwaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Theater Worshop Administrator is overthinking. Teacher Joms was asking if I have a clock, which, though unexplained, is supposedly used for logging in purposes. I thought and thought and thought. In fact, I even thought that said "clock" will be for some activity, and because my feeble mind had just woken up, I try my best to appease the situation:
 - I don't have [a clock] that works. To improvise, we can draw one in the board! (sent 10:42 am April 11, 2008) Joms, confused by my confusion, scrathces his head and ignores the need for a clock altogether.

One Friday evening, while trying to ignore Micko and John do theatrical combat because John is repressed from all that...Romeo and Juliet. My phone rigns. I see that it is none other than self-confessed hottie Paolo del Rosario. I answer, but I hear nary a Paolo at the end of the line. For all I know, I might have been talking to his ass. Maybe his right butt cheek. So I text him...
Pammu: Pao, I think you sat on yor phone. You rang me. (sent 8:45 pm April 25, 2008)
Pao: Miss Ria? (sent 8:40 pm April 25, 2008)
Pammu: It's Pammu :-D (sent 8:50 pm April 25, 2008)
Pao: Oh wow :-) Haha ok...I wrote your name wrong on my phone...I wrote it as pan... (sent 8:45 pm April 25, 2008)
Pammu: Brilliant! A genuis! You are divine! ...see you Monday. (sent 8:52 pm April 25, 2008)
Pao: <Paolo's reply protected as to not prevent from any liabilities; I'm sure Gilia's all cool with it, but I'd also rather honor Paolo's request...it's a secret I'll take with me to...the  e t h e r s !!!>

Tiff texts me about her friends spotting me at Alabang Town Center. Sure made me feel like an actor:
Tiff: Haha. My friends said they saw you, my 'queen' :) in town daw (sent 7:15 pm May 4, 2008)
Pammu: They should have bowed to to me! LET THEM KNOW next time.
Tiff: Yes, your highness. (sent 7:47 pm May 4, 2008)
