then reality

i arrived ahead of iggy at the appointed place, a wholesome family restaurant that served alcohol drinks. he was apologetic, arriving late. and it was the first time i saw him wearing just a plain v-neck shirt. he maintains himself well.

i was unsure of how this would turn out. so i played it very conservatively, making sure that the conversation remained business-like. and that was what happened pretty much. iggy was excited to share some other product offerings he was developing on his own. and he felt strongly about how useful it would be for the company.

his face is just lovely to look at. gwapo talaga para sa akin. save for the receding hairline (which fits him and he doesnt bother to conceal), his eyes, his nose, his lips, his skin was just perfect.

business talk gave in to some small talk about personal lives. he is married, very much, with kids. and i noted how he glowed talking about his daughter, his son.

he asked me a bit of myself. i hesitated to say much, except for the usual 'safe answers' (busy with work, personal projects, gym, etc) and he didnt probe either. the first meeting was short. after just two drinks, we decided to call it a night. and to keep in touch once there are developments on the proposal.

as i left, i had just one word in my mind- DILF. he is one certified DILF. but that DILF will remain a fantasy, out of my reach.

so i start the process of disengaging my self. i did assure him my support for the product in as far as i would review the need for it. so after that, i wasnt expecting much.

what puzzles me from time to time would be those 'hey kamusta ka" messages out of the blue. and the occasional "takbo naman tayo". and there was this time he was asking if i needed a cellphone. i told him i dont. he was offering two n97's for sale at a good price. i told him id try to offer it at the office. then i got a follow-up message "bigay ko sana sa aking new found friend for his birthday very soon kaso can't afford ako" wtf? i found that message uncalled for. a pa-sweet message? i just answered "its the thought that counts, im sure appreciated niya yun!"

but what the hell. the guy is just being a true salesman, a salesman who believes that a friendship is the best foundation for a sale!

You're right. The message was uncalled for.

So tell him sa akin na lang niya ibigay yung phone. Hehehe
