of frogs and princes (and all that sh**t)

another prince has turned into a frog again. sabi ko na e. kahina-hinala talagang may biglang cute na lalakeng susulpot na parang kabute, sasabihing classmate ko raw sya from prep, at iimbitahan akong magkape at manood ng sine.

e ako naman itong si gaga, sama naman. hahahay buhay!

well, in fairness to me, he WAS my classmate from prep. and i said yes to that coffee/movie date because i was curious. di naman kami close nung prep...and all of a sudden he wanted to meet up and "catch up on old times"? heck, it was weird, but i wanted to give myself a chance. malay mo.

but then, something as kahina-hinala as that ought to turn out somewhat dour, in the end.
after DAWN OF THE DEAD and a cup of coffee at COFFEE EXPERIENCE, the bombshell dropped. he said his guy friend was coming to meet us. he said that they were going to "present" something to me. a business proposition. my nose started twitching.

then the friend arrived. ahh. a networking business. they wanted to recruit me. they spent forty five minutes trying to persuade me that investing ten grand in their "venture" would give me a Volvo and 1million pesos in about a year. as the friend smooth-talked his way into the business "presentation", i looked over at mr. prince charming from prep and mentally drew an X-mark over his livid, nodding face.

duh. first date turns out to be an ambush. so that was what the sweety-syrupy text messages were for. what a complete TURNOFF!

Oh well. there's always the nearby swamp to scout for more possible princes. a shrek wouldn't be too bad, either.

Ayayaay! I never understood exactly what it is that motivates people in network marketing. They morph into these horrible, pushy, sales people. Drives me nuts. And to use the pretext of a movie date?! You definitely have reason to be peeved.
