d

in the middle of our AI5 results chat, d told me that finally, he has a girlfriend already. d & i became good friends (well, mostly through YM since we only went out twice) ironically after the MBA class where we were both enrolled. i was mainly groupmates/friends with two of his MBA best friends and we got more acquianted when he tagged along when i & his two friends decided to celebrate surviving the term with an otherwise boring management accounting class. d isn't your typical kind of guy cause he can be intimidating when he speaks (slang), but having been conditioned to speaking with people from different cultures (arguments that doesn't really apply) at work, i wan't intimidated. d isn't really a snob, he's just misunderstood. people assumes he's this conio, slang-speaking kid who'll ignore them if they dare talk to him. but that's really what this post is all about.

d, for the longest time, has ranted on & on about his failed would-be relationships. about still being single at the age of 24 (or is it 25 now) and craving to have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship every day of his working life. this is pretty surprising considering that d is actually quite good looking, smart and last i heard is a hearthrob in campus. i guess what makes him different from the typical guy is that he's actually still pretty much a kid at heart - addicted to video games (sleeps with his ps2), loves anime (naruto!!!), a bit slang to appreciate everyday conversations on the buzz, local showbiz, pinoy big brother and encantadia. so anyway, i asked d where he met his girlfriend and he said through speed dating. d actually had to call me up to explain what speed dating was --- hahaha, what do i know? i didn't know we even had speed dating here --- though i feel like that sounded so desperate, i have to give him props for even doing it. and look where it landed him --- good for you d!!! i don't think that was desperate, i think whatever works, if it gets results then its not bad at all. besides, you would never think d looks desperate, he's just too goodlooking to assume that.

d sounded really happy while we were chatting over the phone. i told him i wish i could see him cause it was definitely a kodak moment. he said his co-workers tell him he has this goofy grin throughout the day. i guess that's what love can do to a person. no words of caution here, let's keep it positive to attract good vibes. congrats d!!! thank you for trusting me - and for being the select few you told the good news to.

what does this tell us? speed dating works ..... maybe its time to try it hahaha
