Dose of Drama

A friend once told me that I am a diva, in the sense that the way I do things is often very dramatic. Well, my life has always been a very dramatic one, regardless of what it is that I do or not do. So it was, with recent events. I needed to ask this person how she felt about me, about how ngam key she felt we were.

First, I wanted to ask her the question face-to-face so I was hoping to meet up with her on a certain weekend. However, she fell sick and so we were unable to meet up and I was unable to ask her the question face-to-face.

Next, I decided to send her a box of tasty hand made Belgian chocolates and ask the question in the gift message. The delivery tracking code says that the chocolates were delivered but for some reason, the chocolates decided to take a walk as she did not receive them even after a week.

So, I decided to just ask her directly the next time I saw her online. Then, the very next day, I got an email from her saying that her computer had crashed and she cannot get online. I knew then that the gods must be playing games with me. Once is chance, twice is coincidence and thrice is a conspiracy.

Then, I decided to send her another gift with the same message, this time a rose in a vase hugged by a bear. This was going to be last attempt and if this gift went missing again, I would have to revert to some other more subversive means of getting the message across.

However, she actually ended up receiving both the gifts in the end. For some reason, the chocolates had decided to make their way to her after all, just a day before the other one was delivered. I certainly hope that the chocolates had not gone bad after wandering around town for more than a week.

Anyway, some of you must be wondering why I just didn’t pick up the phone and ask her directly on the phone.

I am terrible on the phone as I rarely ever use it for communication (my friends will know this). My primary means of communication is face-to-face and online. I can neither convey nor pick up on emotions through the phone. It is always my last choice of communication for these kinds of things.

For some reason, things like this always happen to me and a day hardly ever goes by without something interesting happening in my life. Not quite sure yet if this is a good or bad thing.
