A chick flick


Disclaimer:Super girly post.

So I just finished watching A lot like Love and When in Rome. Im a chick flick girl,apart from horror,thriller and drama(whats left, lol) I cant wait to watch Killers. EEEEEE. I love Ashton Kutcher but I loved Josh Duhamel, he is my kinda guy. The type I go head over heels.

Do check out this song from A lot like love, its by Aqualung and im madly in love with it and the photographs that come in the end

Ok the point of this post is my fantasy about love and the right guy. You know I actually met someone as hot as Josh Duhamel four years back. The story is interesting. So this one time in winter my mother tells me that there is a family coming from London for their son's wedding and they will be our paying guests. Ok fine, blah. Some people. I decide to move out and enjoy my holidays with my uncle's family who lives five minutes away from our house. Then one day I just come after school because it has been a while that I had been away. The house smells like a men's cologne, really hot. I enter and I see my dad talking to this REALLY HOT GUY.What are they talking about? Whoa he likes my painting and he asks me whats my inspiration for that piece. I talk and talk. Then I realise my father expects us not to get too much involved with them. But he is irresistible. And we click. We cant stop talking, and we become closer and closer.We exchange numbers and end up messaging even though we are in the same house. Its just one of those fairy tales. Oh I forgot to mention how our numbers got exchanged. He hid my phone between the slit of the sofa seat and Im looking for it all over the place and he offers to call me.

Im not a big fan of exchanging numbers because this one time when I was very young, I was travelling with my brother and we met this really awesome(handsome) guy on the plane who we became friends with and he gave us his number. My brother never bothered saving the number but I did and my aunt saw it. I told her I wanted to call him and she said dont, you ll find it difficult to forget him. I tore that piece of paper. It makes sense to this day. It always starts from exchanging numbers.

Our friendship grew over that short period he was here and then we exchanged email addresses and right before he was about to leave, I told him I was madly in love with him. NOW STOP RIGHT HERE. This is no chick flick. He said no. Easily crushed my feelings. He left. I had his email for a while and I had memorised it so I couldnt even tear a chit this time. So I emailed him. I believed maybe a miracle could happen. It wasnt meant to be. I even broke up with my boyfriend. We only went out for a month. I think he was a rebound but I chickened out. I still regret that break up even though its been three years now. So my boyfriend and the London guy are history even though he still emails. He is coming over this July for a cousins wedding hoping he'd meet me too. Screw you.

So after this four year long episode I gave up on this=>meet random hot guy;click;exchange numbers;get your heart broken. Until recently. Sigh yes. There is another story with a cute beginning. There was a concert in college and I happened to be one of the organisers. Boss wants me to meet our media partner for a screening of their documentaries before the concert. I take a rickshaw from school with Stig(dont forget stig, important character in the story).
Its a hot day and Im wearing a bright yellow shirt which has a cute mouse ballet dancer cartoon on it but not an appropriate shirt for a meeting. Anyways, Im pissed and I walk in the office with Stig who would'nt shut up. Anyways we walk into the office and the receptionist upon asking who we were asks us to wait. Im just looking all around and cussing "I look like shit" "I wonder who are we about to meet" "how will we watch all the documentaries and select two?ARGH"

And there he walks in. This REALLY HOT GUY! "But wait, all the good ones are always taken, he's probably married or something-FOCUS! DONT YOU DARE THINK HE IS CUTE OR ANYTHING!" But yeah Im under his charm and then he suddenly pisses me off.
"Actually we cant screen all the documentaries for you its our channel's policy however I can give you a list of all our documentaries and you can choose two from them"

"Uh, so you are saying we came all this way just to select two documentaries from your list!"

And then I start talking "I know you have a policy but it would be real sad if we just select from a list and go, I thought we had a deal. You know coming this far hasnt been easy. We left our work and took out time. He(pointing at Stig) hasnt slept all night but we are working on this BLAH BLAH BLAH......."

And he calms me down "Ok how about you look at the list atleast and Ill give you can see the ones you choose"

I see the list and tick which look interesting.He goes away to show them to his boss and Im still cussing because now his charm is just down the drain oh but he offers us water/tea and we opt for water. "Stig can you smell fish in here?"

"Yeah but its because we are near the port hello"

He comes back and he says that we cant view the documentaries now however he will drop off the dvds and we can see them later and we agree. I walk out of the office hoping not see him ever again.He dropped the dvds and guess what he told my boss"Its ok, if you need anything else dont tell your people to come in rickshaws, ill drop em off" And then boss catches me "Btw did you mention going in a rickshaw to the marketing manager because that was very unprofessional" Bleh he told you!Damn it.What a loser.

It's the day of the concert. I have my photography work's critique in the morning.Iam under slept and over worked but I know I have to work after the critique is over.So I come downstairs and HE'S THERE! OMG NOOOOOOOO. Ok he sees me. No way to escape. So hi, hello and then he finally says "oh by the way, I have everybody's number except for yours, can I have it for coordinating with you just in case if I have to." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!I tell myself its ok just give your number BUT DO NOT TAKE HIS NUMBER! DO NOT! And after I give him my number we have a chit chat and we he wants to see my photography exhibit WITH ME! EH!ok. I go up with him, show him around and then my teams getting pissed off because they need me, it turns out to be the perfect escape plan.OK THANK GOD ILL NEVER MEET HIM UNTIL I find out he is coming tonight.

Its right before the concert, Im super pissed because my team is full of shit and I didnt even go home to change but have a great time with the band. We show them around. And there he comes. From right behind me. Oh Hi.

We spend the whole time together. After discussing how boring the crowd is, he actually takes me with him and we pick up the crowd and bring them to the stage.Suddenly a boring concert turns into an exciting concert.Everyone's loving it.WOW.Magic.

Later that night he messages me saying thank you and youre welcome and then it starts.What I dreaded. We cant stop messaging. Suddenly he wants to meet. We find out more about each other. Turns out I know him way before I met him because this world is a small place. Then we start confessing that we are addicted to messaging eachother and we need to stop. But why are we so addicted? Turns out he is confused but want to know the climax? He recently had a break up. Oh great Im a rebound girl. After lots of talks, he clears his mind and he says he doesnt want anything but he'd love to be my friend. I tell him that I wont be able to. We stop talking. Period.

It bothers me and I tell him we can be friends and he's still my friend. We joke,he calls sometimes. He knows that I dont know what I want from my life. And recently I confessed to him that I had a crush on him. He confesses too. He had a crush on me the minute he saw me. There was an attraction.Eh WHAT I THOUGHT I LOOKED LIKE SHIT THAT DAY. Oh and he also tried to flirt with me but seriously I dont think he knows how to.

But the point still being that this is the end and we will just be friends.Guys freak out, they are scared of commitment and this one will never commit. So here's the end to my chick flick. Sometimes its magical when you meet a stranger but the trick is, NEVER EXCHANGE NUMBERS OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO FORGET THEM.
