Email courtesy
Email courtesy
You know how friends like to send each other funny mass emails, or sometimes sweet ones, to bring cheer and fun? Well, of course, I'm no exception. And sometimes, you encounter a situation where your fren enthusiastically sent you something she thinks is good, but when you received it, you realised you have actually seen it b4. But I usually still treat it as if I'm seeing it for the first time and enjoy the message. However yesterday, after receiving an email which I found particularly humourous, I then sent it to all my close pals. Much to my disappointment, one of my close friends did something which I always thought was inconsiderate and rude. She emailed back with a message that amounted to something like 'what's the big deal? I've seen it countless times, and I dun find it interesting anymore'.
I felt sad that she would say that, and also angry at myself for feeling pissed over something so small. I know my fren most probably did not mean to offend or upset me, but I thought this was basic email courtesy, and it was not that she did not send me emails which I have also seen b4, but which I never sent this type of comments back to her! But of course, I would not allow this to affect our friendship in any way, cos she's really a dear pal of mine and perhaps, in a way, I can congratulate myself that I have found a fren who is not hesitant to speak her mind in front of me, and that she is not one of those who stabs me behind my back.
By the way, I caught Spideman 2 yesterday night, and all I can say is FANTASTIC!!! Really love Tobey Maguire!!! He's like the ultimate nerd (reminded me slightly of Clay Aiken though) in the show, and yet he could still be the cool cool SpiderMan at the same time! I'm so glad I watched it, think I'm going to catch it again, and maybe buy the DVD when it comes out!
