And that was basically it. Well, the texting frenzy went on for days. I found her interesting based solely on the information and verbal cues that she disclosed on me that night. CMC or Computer Mediated Communication aided us to become friends and I am happy to have another one. Verbal Cues are actually selected in this type of communication. Thus, one may think of and edit those words to avoid the other party from being offended. This, compared to face to face communication is more plausible as the latter simultaneous.
Because of the extended time, we were able to reply to each other at our most convenient time. Also, we were able to know each other in same quality as to face to face communication, though only in a longer time.
I enjoyed the experience. I had a new friend and boy, she is sweet.

pero anyway, yup. it's true that there's a certain creepy feeling when you say something like "pwede makipag-text mate" to a person you don't even know. But an assignment is an assignment, 'di ba. that's life sa buhay estudyante. *char lang! >:)) )
