Cute in a single white female kind of way

Just about an hour ago, me and Lot did the unthinkable! No, we didn't get married or get engaged, we stalked someone. We don't look like the type who'd stalk someone but for today, it felt quite fun to just go around, take a risk and stalk someone. And we did that with gusto.

It all began with what i can call scenes from a "Close Up" TVC. You can vividly recall from these tvcs where a girl and a boy seems to elude each other always? And all you have is just a glimpse or a shadow of the other person. But as days go by, you see each other more often (because you've become more conscious of the presence). You smile, the other person smiles back but you don't have the confidence to talk to each other.

It seems that at moments like these, you don't necessarily need a "juicy". You need someone who will prod you and say "just go for it". Close up gives you the confidence to get up close and talk confidently. But for now, I'll need a good conversation piece. Since I use Colgate Total, it works just fine - I'm not worried of my breath.

Anyway, three chances already to say have gone and still we still haven't moved on from just catching a glimpse and stealing some smiles. We need more than that. Hence, Lot and I hatched a campy plan to just stalk the person. Feeling like sleuths, we went to the floor and looked aroung. Feigning interest, we even asked the guard where the cashier was.

First attempt was a flop. The person still hasn't gotten back from lunch break. Second chance was in order. 5:30PM is when they clock out. Maybe we should stalk and go down at 5:30 sa ML. Then wait. 30minutes have gone by and nothing happened.

Lesson we learned? Maybe we should try stalking earlier next time. 5:30 was way too late. For beginner sleuths like me and lot, we should come in prepared and early the next time.

This whole experience is cute, actually, in a single white female kind of way. Bwhaha!
