I angered a friend a few days back, well make that 5 days back, one day before the day I fell sick. Yup, that would be Fri. Cliff notes version: I asked her out to study but had to cancel on her due to very last-minute and unforeseen circumstances. If anyone is interested to know just exactly how last-minute it was, I received the SMS at around 10pm on friday night.

Well since that friend of mine asked me not to contact her but correspond with the boyfriend, I did exactly that. Therefore, seeing that I did not inform her about cancelling, she took in personally and got very very very angry. Yeah, children beware.

So why am I writing this?? Well, I only saw her post about me a few minutes, on this Tue where I'm unfortunately, still resting at home. (Damn those pathogens!!) Henceforth, I'm here to bring about clarification of the matter should anyone involved chances upon this ill-fortuned post.

I'm not trying to justify my actions, for what I carried out on friday was out of concern for a friend. Being aware of her 3 papers and that she was most probably exhausted both mentally and "wristly", I corresponded only with the boyfriend,which was also in fact, the course of action she proposed. I had no idea she would take the matter to heart.

Fact: people cancel on people all the time. Heck, so many people have cancelled on me that if I would to be angry each and every time, I'd be Adam Sandler. (Anger Management) And I did not explain to her not because I thought it didn't matter but I knew she would not understand, hence the "no point in explaining". Also, the last-minute thing that took place, it was so important to me that if the whole situation was to present itself in front of me again, I'd make the same choice. Think of the importance like how important the perfect wedding day is to a bride. Not that it mattered, I was also sick and is still sick now. Do not pity me, even my soft toys and Dear Daniel did not pity or care about me.

Therefore, with all due respect to the plaintiff. I am truly sorry, yes for being irresponsible (wow this sounds like a public apology) and a "sms-cum-time-waster". I hope all is forgiven and if not, well I also do not know what to do.

Your EQ is
120

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.
