guilty pleasures....
I'm so rattled right now, I couldn't concentrate on work, so I just had to post this. A friend of mine (who happens to be the bf of an acquaintance and the object of a close friend's obsession), just sent me a message through Friendster which reads like this:

Malaki ang pinagbago mo ah. But you'll always be
the little cutey you've always been, sorry I wasn't
able to send a message early. I was in Mindanao
and people haven't heard of computers back then.
but always take a lot of ingat beautiful.
DAX
Was he FLIRTING with me??? I used to have a huge crush on him, but when I found out that my friend was in love with him, I sort of avoided him, and generally just tried to forget about the whole thing.
Then I heard he got himself a gf (not my friend, who by the way, is still in love with him, even after all these years), and I thought that was the end of it.
Okay, *deep breath* he was probably just being nice to me. (But he never used to talk to me this way!!! and why email me out of the blue, for no apparent reason?) Sheesh. What am I trying to do here? I'm getting ready to get myself in trouble, that's what. Convincing myself that there's more to this message than there is.
And it's not good. Nope, not even a little bit, not even if he still gives me goosebumps when he sings (yep, he' a tall, dark, and handsome med student who happens to sing like an angel- boy, am I in trouble, lol...)
Bottom line: He still has a gf, and my friend is still in love with him. So, obviously, I can't pursue this. The big question is, how do I handle this? He is still a friend, and I can't just ignore him. How should I reply? How can I keep it friendly? Help!!!!
Er, now that I've decided not to pursue it, let me just take a moment and say, Wheeeee! At least now that I know I won't screw myself by messing around with the guy my friend's in love with (whether there was anything to his message or not), I can enjoy his message and treat it the way it should be treated....an unexpected, but well-appreciated email from a friend whom I haven't heard from in a long time, and nothing more.
