ahente lang pala

i first noticed him when i was buying at the nearby convenience store. tall, receding hairline, nice, serious eyes, strong jaw and chin. hmmm.

my office window looks out to the parking lot. on another day, i saw him walking from a white innova parked nearby. so he shares the same office building. interesting.

at another time, he passed in front of my window, using the pathway beside it, presumably on his way to the commercial area. i dont get a lot of passersby on that pathway, because i always assumed it would lead to a dead end. usually, maintenance people and security guards use that pathway. and a person passing always catches my attention.

so i was pleasantly surprised to see him, innova guy, pass by. hmmm. something to look forward to during a day in the office.

and so it was. from time to time, i would see him pass by the window, catching a glimpse inside. or he would be out there at the parking lot, either going to or coming from his innova. babaw moments of kiligness. LOL.

i decided to walk that path one time, just to see where it would lead. i was puzzled because it was a pretty inconvenient path going to the commercial area. and there was no foot path from the parking to this pathway. hmmm.

another story: late last week, my driver handed me a brochure. this guy from the office opposite ours approached him and wanted to talk to me to offer this web-based service. driver said he was actually insisting to just come inside and make a cold call. but driver dissuaded him, telling him i dont entertain walk-in proposals.

yesterday, innova guy walked passed the window again. this time, i swear we had eye contact. i didnt see him again.

today, he passed by again, but he wasn't looking. then again. then again. though he wasnt looking inside. HMMMMMMM.

i was leaving for an appointment and on my way out, i saw him standing by the ramp. and as the car stopped to pick me up, he was looking at me, with his serious eyes. and i looked at him back. wondering.

then driver told me that he was the guy who gave the brochure and wanted to talk to me. suddenly, kilig moment dissipated. innova guy was really just another salesman. probably the reason why he kept on passing by, trying to figure out if i was in the corner office.

driver said he was pretty amiable, but reeked of sales technique. and he was asking a lot of questions about me, age, marital status, etc. driver was able to dodge those questions well. it seemed like he was doing a very good probe of his cold prospect.

oh well. it was kilig while the illusion lasted.
