These days the SMS community is fascinated by the jokes of Inday. But are you aware of the fact that before Inday, there was another fictional character, by the name of Ederlyn that was mentioned in several text jokes?

The first text message about Ederlyn consists of an invitation for her birthday party.

Ui, invited tau s bday party
ni ederlyn 2m ng 6pm.

CnO b un? Kilala m b?
FinOrward lng skn e.
Hahahahahaha. Kulet. :)

On reading this message for the first time, you may not even consider it a joke or even delete it. But, once you receive the second part of this message,

Uy asan ka na? D2 n kaming
lahat ikaw n lng wla.
Nklimutan mo na ba
birthday ko? =c

-ederlyn (wahaha part 2)

…you will be able to make out the total essence of the message and understand that it is a joke. You will find out that Ederlyn is a normal girl, but lacks attention and it seemed just too much fun that made people forward the jokes, leading to the increase in the fame of this character. People receiving jokes not only forwarded them, but also added new jokes, increasing the interest in the story of Ederlyn. As the story progressed newer characters were introduced, like Arman who is suitor of Ederlyn and Chona Mae, who is jealous of the popularity of Ederlyn. All this resulted into creation of some sort of SMS teleserye. Given below is another joke, in which Ederlyn is announcing her plans to participate in Lovapalooza (a famous event, which is a traditional form of Valentine ’s Day celebration that bid for creating a Guinness World Record of maximum number of couples kissing simultaneously for ten seconds).

mga peeps, kita-kits tayo sa
mall of asia sa feb 10. let us
break the record again!
-arman and ederlyn

As you receive more messages about Ederlyn, your knowledge of this character increases. Ederlyn even invited her friends and fans to add her friendster account.

Eiya..add nyo naman ako s
friendster nyo. Kainis kyo,di
nyo manlang ako ina-add.
Tampo nko. Seryoso ako!

The text messages about Ederlyn went on and on. I guess it was due to the unlimited texting promo of a telecommunications company. But, as they increased the prices of the unlimited texts, texts jokes about Ederlyn were affected and her fame wore off.
