Suddenly, I had a strange suspicion that ma 6210 mobile can’t transmit sounds to tha person @ tha other end of tha line, & so to know whether twas ma phone or tha person @ tha other end of tha line who’s really defective, I got ma bro to participate & call’d him on his mobile.
Me: “Hello? Ano, naririnig mo ba?”
Bro: “Oo, naririnig kita.”
Me: “Hindi nga, ano?”
Bro: “Oo nga eh!”
Me: “Eh panong di mo ‘ko maririnig eh nasa kabila ka lang? Lumayo ka naman!
Bro: [laughing]

Decidin’ twas pointless to have him participate seriously, I decided to call Globe Customer Service instead.
Me [after numerous punchin’ of numbers w/c finlly led to tha O]: “Hello?”
Operator: “How may I help you?”
Me: “Ah kasi, may problema cell ko, ang problema… [suddenly rememberin’] HINDI AKO NARIRINIG NG KAUSAP KO!”
Operator: “Yes, ano pong problem nila?”
Me: KASI NGA HINDI AKO MARINIG NG KAUSAP KO… YUN ANG PROBLEMA… NARIRINIG MO BA AKO? HELLOOOO..?? LALAKASAN KO PA BA?
Operator: “Yes, ma’am, naririnig ko po kayo, pwede nyo na pong hinaan ang boses nyo.
