Back in the Philippines, forwarded text messages were (or still are?) a thing. They’re like forwarded emails but shorter, so they’re usually jokes or “quotes,” like this one:
I was finally getting over you
I had crushes other than you
I walked around with my head high, thinking I wouldn’t fall
But then you smiled and ruined it all
Now I am a sucker for quotes. So I was one of the people who was always forwarding these cutesy text messages to everyone in my phonebook, especially when my sim card could suddenly send unlimited texts even though it had zero prepaid balance. And when I received text messages that I particularly liked, I wrote them down in a notebook for safekeeping. It eventually became three notebooks. I have no idea where they are now. Probably eaten by the same termites that ate my diaries and my keepsakes.
I still love quotes, though, but I no longer write them down in notebooks. Instead I embed them in some of my blogs and tag said blogs with “quotes” – which you can also see on the right sidebar.
Here are some:
“Sometimes the mileage you get out of a great story is worth the hassle of actually going through the experience.” |
Share your favorite quotes with me! I want to collect them! 😀
*The quotes are not mine, but all pictures are.
