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?
