You Look Steaming Hot!

"You look steaming hot!" is definitely one pick up line that would make a girl turn to whoever said it especially if that girl is casually walking, trying to get home before rain falls.

I went to SM Manila today to get my smart money card replaced. By eleven I was there hoping to get the card earlier so that I could go home earlier. But luck was against me. I was forced to wait until two in the afternoon since their card printing machine will be available at around that time. I don't know why, maybe their card printing machine did some shopping since it was SM's 3 day sale.

I spent my time in an internet cafe watching silly videos from spiked humor. Spiked really helps in killing time. The time it takes to buffer is longer than the time it takes to play the whole clip and before you know it, hours have already passed.

So there, I was able to get my card in less than thirty minutes. As I was finding my way out of the mall, I happened to have a fifty year old or so man behind me on the escalator. The next thing I know, he was asking for my name and whether HE could shop for me. Am I a DOM magnet?! That really freaked me out. Thank God the mall was packed with people, I easily lost him. I stood near a security guard for five minutes or so then walked out of the mall. I am now so paranoid.

As I was walking toward the jeepney "terminal" someone behind me said "you look hot." I didn't see who it was then. After a few seconds, the person exclaimed "you look STEAMING hot! You look gorgeous." And being a banidosa I turned around to see who it was and to make sure that that comment was addressed to me. Sure enough it was.

Yeah, it was flattering. How many times in your life do you get to be commented like that by a total stranger? But paranoid as I am, I didn't care to lengthen the interaction any further. Who knows, that guy might be planning something not good.

I held on to my stun gun tightly, turned around and walked faster to catch the last seat in an almost full jeepney.
