do not wear t-shirt

It seems everyone were reaching out to old friends nowadays. My officemates were having reunions with different group of friends on almost every weekend since summer hit Cebu this year. High school reunions at San Fernando and Portofino, college barkada reunion at Camotes, and the list goes on.


To those who can't make it to attend reunions had to be contented to see and chat with friends online. I had my own share of reunion through online with an old friend just recently. We were not exactly friends. More aptly said: we were just college acquiantances. We know each other through common friends. I never even remember a single chance we talk or laugh together. He never even bother to greet me whenever we bumped each other at the school lobby. I'm not yet 'miss congeniality' with boys during college so I didn't took the lead to greet him either.


It was so ironic that we just decided to get to know each other just now, though online. I don't know when we'll see each other, but I can guess it will be sometime later. With our current work sked no chance of hitting each other that soon.


He has an interesting personality. He look dumb stupid but he write and talk like a genius. You can even talk with him about anything under the sun. I have browsed his fb wall and read his own and his friends' comments, one can say he can easily crak jokes and can even laugh at his own expense. He has his own style of sense of humor. But contrary to his happy demeanor, he is passionate with his hobby, cooking. That passion is so unusual with boys, it's usually a girl thing. He said he will prepare a mouth-watery pasta for me, well that is yet to happen.


He has this funny way of showcasing himself in front of the camera. I told him, I found it annoying. He simply replied, 'ana man na mga gwafo sa personal'. Whew! Talk about self-confidence, looks like he has full tank of it.


Then suddenly it hit me, I told him I realized I can do nothing with his ways and his looks anyway, the same way he can do nothing with mine. The only thing that was left for us to do is to accept things and people the way they are, I added. Maybe he's not in the mood to talk serious (but I doubt if he's ever serious in anything), he just jokingly commented 'wow, pang-blog ang sentence'. Then after that, I heard no more from him. He has that way of ending conversations abruptly.


Well, hours before that he told me one important tip from a guy to all girls who would be hitting the beach this summer. He said, do not wear t-shirt. Wear your best swimwear.


I like that tip, thanks sir Jeff.
