tête-à-tête

I was so angry yesterday I could chew nails. No, I didn't see my boyfriend kissing another guy because I don't have one. I loaded 50-peso credit into my phone then used 20 in a call three days earlier. But then when I tried to send a text message to a friend, I couldn't because my load was all gone! I hadn't called nor texted before yesterday so where in the GLOBE did my load go? How did it just disappear under the bright SUN? Sucked. That's right. My load got sucked. So did the load of the other millions of cellphone users. If it was the first time, it would have been so easy to shrug my shoulders but it wasn't. Whenever I buy load, I have this reflex to consume it fast or a SMART monster is going to take it away. The problem is, sometimes there is just no way to use it before it expires. I mean, calling and texting are not the only things I do. I can't understand why I pay for something but I can't keep it for as long as I want. But I'm glad that Senator Enrile who was a victim of "disappearing load" himself had figured out who these monsters are and prompted the Senate to inquire into this unfair forfeiture policy by telecommunications companies. He said, “Punish, if necessary people responsible for this dastardly game of robbing people of their money.” Last year, the telcos earned a gross revenue of P147 billion. Now, we are smart enough to know that some of it was the load we lost.
