Hal ini bermula kira2 beberapa tahun lalu, ketika provider yang saya pake mulai mendapat banyak saingan dari provider2 hape baru. Selama beberapa waktu, mereka memberikan promo gratis sejumlah sms (100 sms kalo ngga salah – rasanya masih keliatan promo yang menarik).
Nah, daripada dibiarkan gratisannya hangus, saya biasakan mengirim quotes2 atau joke2 ke temen2. Yaa saya rasa lebih berguna buat menyemangati orang lain atau membuat orang lain tersenyum/ketawa daripada bergosip via sms. Ternyata, beberapa orang temen juga melakukan hal yang sama. Saya kumpulkan apa saja yang saya kirim ke siapa, dan saya kumpulkan juga quotes2 yang temen2 kirim. So, ini 100 (sebenarnya lebih dari 100) quotes yang saya kumpulkan dari satu orang saja… Thx, E!
