A few months ago, I was given a list of YM IDs by a Manila-based gamer. I was to contact and interview those on the list for my gaming blog. Most of the gamers graciously accepted my request to be added in their YM list. Most of them were eager to chat with me. One, however, was arrogant and annoying.

Ria’s YM Request: Hi! This is Ria of DotAStrategy.com. “Person” gave me your YM ID. I would like to interview you for my blog.
Arrogant Gamer: Who are you? Why did you add me? Who gave you my ID?
Ria: Ria of DotAStrategy.com. “Person” gave me your YM ID. I would like to interview you for my blog.
Arrogant Gamer: Oh. K!

After a while, Arrogant Gamer suddenly kept on bugging me by sending me “Khulet!” messages via YM. One time, I was bored and answered by telling him he was the “Kulit!” one and not me. For a time, we chatted over YM constantly. Then, we exchanged cellphone numbers to set a match game between his team and my team.

One day, he was bugging me about my favorite songs. Then, he bugged me to search for his favorite songs on YouTube. The songs were “Angels Brought Me Here” and “Crazy Over You.” After listening to the songs, I teased him that the songs were corny and cheesy. I told him that the songs probably reminded him of certain people. And he admitted the songs did. I braced myself for some boring story about his ex or his crush, when he said… “You, the songs are for you.”

Awww…

…some months later, Arrogant Gamer became the boyfriend. 🙂
