a pick-up line on a very hot day...

This happened about 6 months ago.. i remembered it because i was watching an old Filipino movie on Cinema one awhile ago, all about trying to get a girl's phone number and all... Anyway, that day was sooo hot like you really dont want to go out but i had no choice because i have to go to school, i never thought it would be one of those days i will never forget. Everything went as it usually does except that i had a hard time waiting for a ride. Finally, an empty ride passed and i hopped in, by that time i felt like i was in heaven because it was one of those rides where the aircon really gives you icy cold air (not like those that doesnt give you anything at all or worse it gives off really hot air like that of a heater). a couple of other passengers hopped in and for minutes nobody sat beside me... until someone called and our ride had to stop... This is it!!! a hunk of a guy sat beside me. I wasn't actually minding him because i was still enjoying the cold air until i noticed that he kept saying excuse me miss for like five times already. I really thought he was having a hard time sitting beside me so i just said sorry and moved a little closer to the driver. I thought he was finally settled until he paid the fare and he had to say the "excuse me miss" once again.. I looked at him and he smiled at me.. next thing i know his hand was stretched infront of me, waiting for me to shake it as he introduced himself... i stared at him feeling a bit weird and for a second i thought he was one of those religious guys who would share the gospel to everyone on that ride so i shook his hand and gave him a smile... I guess he was waiting for me to introduce myself because he kept on looking and then again he starts talking to me... he goes... Miss, are you related to the Sequia's? and i was like to whom? and he continues... cause you look like Jenny Sequia... for a minute my mind stopped functioning and then i realized that that was just the most wierd thing a guy could ever tell me... i mean, i dont look like Jenny Sequia and i guess she would protest if she heard that herself... and he goes on and on, telling me about himself even if im not answering his questions blah, blah, blah... to make the long story short, he asked for my number and my name.. well, i had to make up a name just to make him feel like i was listening to him and for the number i had to tell him i lost my phone.. Its not like we'll ever see each other again... Anyway, even though he was a bit talkative he made my day.. that whole pick-up line thing made me smile.. I just cant believe that guys really do that (well desperate ones.. ) But i salute you... john where ever you are.. just a tip though, even if you have the guts, that style, doesnt work all the time... :)

happy birthday to me!!!

Happy birthday to me last thursday... hahaha... its funny how i forgot to write something in here on my special day.. but anyway, it was fun even though i wasnt feeling perfectly well that day, and i was happy because i had time to think about all the blessings ive received for the past years.. i mean come to think of it, im 20 not a teen anymore but im not that ahsamed to tell it to the whole wide world reason: because there are people who never got a chance to reach this age.. or better yet, there are people who reached this age but not as healthy as i am now.. i know i get sick once in a while but im thankful its not that serious...
