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.

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

Remember Me
Dedicated to my cuzzo AJ I can't wait to see you at your graduation! I'm so proud of you for making it through. YOU'RE GOING TO BE A MARINE!!! I'm scared to death for you but mostly I'm so proud of you!
Remember Me
Remember me kindly and I'll do the same
When wind whispers stories wild and untamed
Trees will tell wings and they'll go a flight
Causing altered young leaves to rustle and fight
Allow rain sleet and snow to wash clear you mind
Dark clouds cannot harm you there's no need to hide
When sun will not shine above Earth and Sea
Pull forth from your memory what we used to be
Recall all the times when we sat and we smiled
The sweet conversation that used to run wild
Come back to this moment, this dust of joy
And beam though you feel like a pawn or a toy
I am the chatter, I am the friend
I am the love giving life till the end
When your soul is shattered like pieces of glass
I'll be there to help gather the mass
Once the time comes for our inevitable part
I"ll be the laughter deep down in your heart
I'll ease the pain; I'll help you smile
So hope and blithe may claim you awhile

I had to dig into my '05 vault to find this for him but i'm glad i found it. I think maybe I'll post some other old stuff as well. =D
CUZZO CLAN IS THE BEST FAM BAM!
