I go online like every night before I found a job. One night, with my nick parked in one of the Y! chatrooms, a certain putcha_gwapo_ako PM-ed me asking where I got my nick. I proudly answered and he went "Sis! Lemme introduce myself. I'm Ludwig Jimenez, 02 San Beda." Of course I didn't believe him at first coz I've encountered some wishful thinkers. I quizzed him about the fraternity and all and we chatted for like an hour before I said goodbye. I saw him on webcam and I sent him a pic. Aside from the fact that he IS a brod, he didn't interest me at all.

We chatted seldomly after that, just hi's and hello's when we caught each other online. There were times he'd wanna come over at the wee hours of the night coz he said he was bored at home. I was like "Duh! As if being a brod is enough to make me trust you." I wish that mentality stuck.

One Sunday, I got my invitation to an interview to the company and since he was already online, I asked him for directions. After a loooong discussion, he offered to drive me to the office since his class was at 1pm. My interview was set at 9am and we decided to meet up at 7 in Zapote.

Lunes, Marso 8

Being the punctual person that I am, I was awakened with his call at a little over 830. He was asking me if he still had to wait for me and I said if he can, please do. We met up at 930. My first impression was that judging by his clothes alone, he was very unlike the brods [UPLB brods] I was accustomed to seeing. We shook hands and were on the road. We talked but I was really taken aback coz of how much the guy can speak. Man! The girl who can talk at the rate of 10,000,000 words a minute was shut up by a guy. So anyway, he got me there before 1030 and he was gonna wait till the interview is through but I had him go ahead. I remember texting him and thanking him for the favor and all that. Now, I wish I didn't let him do me any favor.

Biyernes, Marso 12

We were planning on meeting up for a gimik after watching the Incubus concert. We agreed to just text each other to coordinate. As I've blogged before, I wasn't able to watch the concert and just went to Common Ground with TGIS. I didn't text him coz I was counting on seeing Moonlight Man that night. Well, guess what?! We were merely separated by a wall! They were at Clubber's Guide. So near yet so far, indeed. [Haven't I used that phrase before?]

Miyerkules, Marso 24

It was his last day at school and we decided to go out. He had an exam till 7pm so I had to wait for him at Starbucks Shangri-La till he showed up at 830. Our first stop was 65B. The place was empty except for some UE brods in a meeting. We left a little before midnight and agreed on driving up to Antipolo. [Cloud Nine, beybeh! elk.] He told me he doesn't smoke and asked me to teach him. The guy can sure lie. He was all cough-y and stuff and well, convincing.

Floi + Wengweng + Marlboro + whole day at work = palpitations

He was genuinely [!?!] concerned and kept asking me if I wanted to be taken to the hospital. He massaged my shoulders but like hell it helped. It only reminded me I should be more careful coz if he can do that, then my body's going numb and my defense mechanisms are down. [I'm the most ticklish person] Gets? Got home safe, though.

Sabado, Marso 27

The magic began. He invited me to a drinking session at his house with another brod but turned out, the other brod won't be able to make it. We drank while watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. As I've figured out by now, there is a reason why there are a lot of scary flicks in their DVD library. Smart.
--------------------------
I have to stop for now. Reminiscing about these just freshens up the pain. I don't even know why I'm blogging about this. Maybe coz I promised Chevy I will. Promises - A word alien to Ludwig. Oh, lookee! I mentioned his name! How funn.
