Litfili Entry 4

A. Document

The short story of document practically tells a story about one man who endlessly goes by his daily routine lifestyle but noticing a young woman who happens to be a student of the school where he teaches often borrowing his PC. Of course he doesn’t mind but make no mistake as the story portrays him not having affections or any involvement despite all the suspicions of his neighbors.

How ever the story takes a turn of events when he begins wondering and guessing what the filenames of her documents are then suddenly his curiosity goes overboard compelling him to read the especially “marked” document. It contains an essay about her wishes of leaving then for some reason it somehow bothers him as if he had some feelings for this woman yet he tends to suppress it confusing the reader whether he has feelings for her or not.

Nominally this guy is sort of the sneaky type since we don’t know his intentions of even bothering to read that document. We couldn’t say for sure he had feelings for her since after all he is living quite a dull life in the everyday “work, eat, sleep” routine and its possible that he had nothing else better to do. But then again the possibility of him having feelings cannot also be easily ruled out. Oh I know many female readers may think or even wonder is this how “torpe” guys think? Well now if you were to ask me lets not be hasty to judge their kind shall we? I mean I also want to ask a question also on why women these days prefer boastful & arrogant bastards compared to shy but kind men? Heck these men normally aren’t even players yet more women prefer the player types. I guess the saying goes true when Bill Maher said, “Women cannot complain until they improve their taste in men”.

B. Games

Ah yes the finest example of the modern relationships where the story revolves around two players where in the woman has multiple personalities on the phone and the guy has other possible secret relationships outside his current one.

Believe it or not this sort of thing where the girl character actually makes different voices on the phone happens a lot these days especially with the rampant text messages that are send around the nation everyday. Various reasons also come afloat with this as it can range from finding insights within other’s relationships to the lowest form of finding “text mates”.

But that is also not the point since it is also about the couple’s attitude toward each other. Now she gets offended when she accidentally finds out her boyfriend was actually expecting another woman when she used a name that goes by her boyfriend’s other fling. Strange she took the nerve to get angry when she herself isn’t really clean when it comes to these sorts of mind games. Hey after I guess that’s why it’s titled games. It what most couples today do to each other which is why short term relationships happen much more than long ones these days. That’s also the reason why so many naive youngsters exist these days.
