my past few days

A few days ago, I had the chance of meeting someone who I've been cozy with online since last month. It was supposed to be an EB (with at least four people confirming their presence, the two of us included), although my fellow GTs insist it was a date, a set-up even. I wouldn't mind if indeed it was one, but being the private person that I am, of course I wouldn't want every single detail of our supposed meeting be seen in some threads. I tried to somehow sway their perception of what transpired that night, but they went ahead thinking that there's something going on between us already.

After a very unfortunate incident at the office that day, I accepted his offer to be at our meeting place earlier than planned. He just came back from Davao and he had with him his promised "pasalubong" of mangosteen. There was an obvious feeling of shyness between us, yet we managed to talk. For after all, we have known a few things about each other already. He treated me to dinner and then we went to KK for the supposed EB. After an hour, someone literally dropped by and left after a few minutes. And would you believe she even had a camera with her so she could post some pictures of us! Goodness, that girl was really into this pair up thing! We told her, pictures were not allowed, and she accepted our decision.

I must admit it feels good to have someone ask me how my day was, or have I eaten already. We're on to this subtle flirting stage, and I guess I'm beginning to like him already. When he asked me if I was disappointed whatsoever after meeting him, I answered I have no further expectations of him. I am as complicated as he is right now, so where would that lead us? For now, I am just delighted that someone cares, and even spends his time (thanks to his Blackberry) just to make me smile.

After all these years, most of my friends would know how much I value my reputation. And I guess someone is very well trying her way to ruin that. But if she thinks she's even penetrated me in any way, well then, think again. My very silence doesn't mean I am guilty of her accusations. The Bible said: "Blessed are those who humble themselves..." I will not give in to her provoking...never!

We had another great time at the Trinoma mall yesterday. We shared Taco Bell's nachos, mexican pizza, and quesadillas. It was fun sharing what transpired in the office lately. We hope we could do it on a monthly basis.
