DELAY-mas

I'm starting to organize my thoughts a little. Just a little. If you find that some pieces or blogs aren't on this page anymore it's because it's on some other random blog that I accidentally created and decided to use.

Come find me. Interesting. Amused. Bored. Con fused. Unique. Struggling through life's minor, and not so minor dilemmas.

Minor DELAY-mas

Thanks y'all!

Flirty old men

Old men who just don't give a damn what young people think of them make me laugh.

I was walking out of BOA and this old man stared at me as I passed and proclaimed, "Beautiful". Not subtly under his breath but loud enough for others passing to hear. It wasn't all creeper old man status either. It was kinda gross but I was flattered.

About a year or so ago, when I first started working retail an older gentleman, not old but older, approached me and asked "May I pay you a compliment?" Thinking it had more to do with the quality of service being provided at my store than me peronally, I allowed it. To my delight it was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. If anyone every actually did what he proposed, we'd be enggaged, if not married before the year's end, assuming the courtship went well, he got alongwith my family and he continued to be a gentleman.

"You're a beautiful woman. If I were a younger man, in my early 20's as I assume you are, I would be in here everyday with a dozen roses until you agreed to date me. I just thought you should know."

The man had me swooning and hoping for a younger gentleman like that to exist and find his way to me. Sigh. Too bad chivalry is dying and "men" these days have no concept of what true chivalry and courtship is.

But I'm still holding out.

Glogger app!!

Yay!! There's a blogger app FINALLY!!

Being nice to customers

This is what I get for being nice to customers. JUST being nice! Not even flirting. I was helping a fellow Filipino find clothes for a female friend. He asked if I was Filipino and I debated lying because generally my people try to get all buddy buddy with their people and then BAM ask for additional discounts. I know this because my mom does it A LOT.
Anyway I didn't lie but, reason number two that I wanted to lie: he started talking in Tagalog, the Philippine national language, I don't like speaking Tagalog at work. Once I do that I've strengthened the "bond" with not only him but EVERY OTHER Filipino in the store. UGH! And then they ALL want discounts. Sigh.
But THIS is what I get for being nice. To break away from this character and help other customers I asked if he needed help with anything else. He said "no just your number". So I laughed making it seem like I thought he was joking, but he's Filipino. Filipino men don't joke about that. I know this for a fact, and so does every other Filipino out there. So ladies, you've been WARNED!!! At any rate I leave and spend a lot of time avoiding him while he's still shopping.

Where is your husband?

So a few weeks ago I was visiting with my gma and she said "Where is you husband?"

Well... What had happened was... I'm the only granddaughter you have that DOESN'T have a a boyfriend. Not even someone I'm "talking to".

All I could say was "Remember we talked about this. I don't have one."

Lola: Oh, he left you? Why? What did you do?
Me: I didn't do anything! and I left him.
Lola: You should get married
Me: Well, if you want to help me with that feel free.

WHAT THE EF MAN?!?! Why is she assuming that I did something wrong? GEEBUS!!!

It's my fault I guess, all I did for the longest time was complain to her that I didn't have a boyfriend and talk to her about everyone else and their boyfriends. I just ran out of things to say and updates on what happened that day. My life is relatively boring. Work. Sleep. Work. Sleep. Sometimes I go out but nothing too crazy these days. Everyone elses' lives are just so much more interesting so I talk about them and their fun lives with their significant others.

It's just amusing that the first thing my gma said to me that day was "Where is your husband?"

Really Lola? Salt. Wound. Compress.

That hurt! =/

Taken

I feel safe posting this because this guy has no facebook and I'm changing his name. But tell me why EVERY TIME I like someone these days or think that someone has the potential to turn in to something, he's taken?!?! SERIOUSLY! Why are you flirting if you're already taken! Men are such teases. Maybe I'm just insane. You be the judge!

ME: Eh. wats the dress code for tonight?
...
M: Oh shit sorry you're not (insert female name that can be mistaken for a boys name here)!
GUY: Lol close enough. I was gonna tell u dress code was lingerie with fish net stockings... Strictly enforced. And for the girls its dress to impress
M: hahahahahaha LMAO!!! They should be wearing hooker heels too... fish nets aren't the same without them... or so i'm told.
G: Wow... Thats a confident suggestion. Like experience was the main motive to give such advise
