Note: Some snippets will be written in our native language as they have more ‘impact’ when said that way. Nonetheless, English translations will still be included. Note that the English translations will be the closest translations in meaning or thought in the whole sentence. I will not translate the per English word, as that will compromise the idea and meanings of the conversations.
This was a phone text last September 23, 2005.
Jasmine: Happy Birthday! Tumatanda ka na! =) (Happy Birthday! You’re getting old! =))
Licorne: Salamat! Pero tandaan mo, pag tumatanda ako, mas matanda ka! Nyahaha! (Thank you! But remember, if I’m getting old, you’re always older! Nyahaha!)
Jasmine: Ayoko na! Break na tayo! (That’s it! We’re through! or We’re breaking up! )
Licorne: Hmp! Ikaw lang naman ang balik ng balik sa akin eh! (Hmp! You’re the one who keeps coming back to me!)
Note: Licorne = chocaholic (excessive love for chocolate); Jasmine = coffeeholic (excessive love for coffee)
Roaming the mall, they see a shop with a sign that says “Chocolate Ecstasy – 3 for P100″ So they stop and look.
Licorne: Look at that! Chocolate! *bites lower lip* The cake is covered with chocolate icing and it’s swimming in rich, thick and creamy chocolate sauce! Oh, to buy or not to buy?
Jasmine: *not caring* As I’m not the chocaholic, the sight of that does not affect me.
Licorne: But didn’t you know that some chocolates are taken from the same bean that produces coffee? So in that case they have almost similar ingredients!
- Silence -
Jasmine: How much did you say it was again?
Licorne: Where have you been?! I’ve been calling for hours!
Jasmine: Why? You missed me? =)
Licorne: Get away from me.
Jasmine: You know, I was thinking–
Licorne: Did it hurt?
Jasmine: Stop that! I was thinking, if we publish most of our wacky conversations online, and due to the their frequent theme, some people might think we’re more than friends.
Licorne: Eh?!?!
Jasmine: Ooh, Yuri!
(Yuri: In anime terms, girl to girl love)
They look at each other for a moment.
Jasmine and Licorne: Eewwwwww!!! *their distance from each other increased 4 meters*
Jasmine: That idea’s so gross!
Licorne: Excuse me while I gag in overwhelming self disgust.
*shudders*
Note: We do not condemn or even presume to judge people who have this preference (girls who like girls). They have a freedom to choose their life and far be it for us to judge them. However, we are not of the same inclinations, and that should also be respected. I repeat, we like men! =)
Jasmine has managed to coerce Licorne into watching the movie “The Corpse Bride.” As they had close to an hour before the movie starts, they decided to eat at a nearby food store.
While eating, Jasmine sees a little kid in a stroller; she smiles and signals to Licorne to look at the child.
Licorne: *rolls eyes*
Jasmine: What? The kid’s cute!
Licorne: Pedophile.
Jasmine: Thank you!
While watching the movie:
Jasmine: That’s the scariest looking animated maggot I have ever seen.
Licorne: Yeah. Who would have thought that a maggot can wear so much lipstick?!
Jasmine: Why does it seem that I’m always the underdog in these conversations?
Licorne: Hey, don’t blame me. I always send them to you for approval, or to edit or delete as you like. But you don’t change a thing and you approve its posting online. What are you complaining about?
Jasmine: I know, I know. I know these conversations are true to life, but. . . after reading them, I never realized how much of an underdog I am.
Licorne: *shocked* I–I didn’t know . . . I mean, after almost 10 years of friendship, you only realized that now?
Jasmine: Someday I’m going to strangle you, you know.
