of boys and chasing cars

“tish, there’s this guy staring at you!”

on our way home from work, shine and i usually drop off tita rowie and tita lynette at the UN LRT station. it was like a routine. nothing special.

in the middle of UN avenue, shine and i dropped off tita rowie and tita lynette. tish :”matraffic nman e. wag mo na itabi yung car.” so i got out, adjusted the seat so the could get out (it’s a 2-door pajero) all of a sudden the traffic light turned green. eek! the corolla behind us was blowing his horns already. eek! i smiled, and hopped in the car.

i was fixing my seat, trying my best to put on my seatbelt while holding a butterfinger bar on my right hand when suddely i realized, why is this car stopping beside us? i mean, there’s a big space in front of him. why wont he move? and why is his window down? i kept quiet. suddenly, “tish, there’s this guy staring at you!” exclaimed shine. “gwapo! chinito!” i looked hesistantly. true enough, he was gwapo. young professional. he was wearing a blue long sleeved, button-down shirt, black slacks. “hmm…” i thought. “not bad.”

he kept his window down and suddnly he turned to me. oh my god. i turned away.

when his lane was moving faster, he’d drive slowly and when we were ahead, he’d chase us. haha amazing. we dubbed him “the corolla boy”

all these years i’ve been wanting to feel that rush of being chased by a guy. well, it just happened. from a total and complete stranger.

when guys go the extra mile to make you feel special, it doesn’t necessarily mean treating you like a princess. all it means is surprising you with very unexpected things. corolla boy was a total and complete stranger. yet, he managed to go the extra mile to try to meet us.

for the longest time i wanted to be one of those women who were constantly chased by guys, or followed by a trail of guys. shallow, but it’s an ego booster.

so, chasing cars?  why not? 

i choose..

..to be happy. i’ve finally reached that stage where i’m at the peak of my happiness. i’ve finally realized that i’m doing really great.i’m finally happy with my job, i’m happy being single, i have more time for my friends, and i love myself more than ever!

i’ve realized a lot for the past weeks.

1) before anything else, i should love myself always

2) i’m not as child-likee/-is as people think i am. (hmm…)

3) i’ve matured A LOT already. i’ve heard lots of praise from people i never expected for the way i handled myself and every situation that was thrown my way. people usually associate me for being childish and immature beacuse of the way i look, and my age as well. i’m the baby of the family. hahaha! BUT that doesn’t mean that i think like a baby and act like a baby although i may sometimes talk like one. haha! but please. don’t be fooled by my looks.

a few days ago i was scared to death when my sister was about to return from the province. i was scared that i might be left alone again (its areally long story). contrary to what i expected, i realized that i could actually stand on my own now. i’m stronger, happier and more confident.

CHEERS!
