Before the program started, I went inside the restroom to pee then got out of the toilet to check my shirt and hair. There was a guy standing in front of the mirror washing his hands. I tried looking at myself in the mirror but I got conscious after just two seconds because he was obviously occupying the view.
"Huh?" I was confused.
"GA Tower?" He said, smiling.
"Ano po yun?" I replied.
While he continued talking to me through the mirror, "GA Tower. Condominium."
I remained speechless as he turned around and stepped closer.
"You look familiar," he continued as he closed the door.
I was starting to shake at this point.
"Ahm, no sorry," I said while twisting my hands.
Then he moved my bangs sideways as if trying to fix it as he closed, "You're cute."
I didn't know what to say except, "Thanks...ahm, I'm sorry, I actually don't know the place."
I got out of the restroom and he followed.
I was hoping that he was just one of the customers downstairs and not among the event personnel. Surprisingly, he was our client's make-up artist!
My body was still shaking so I quickly went downstairs to get water. Between the time that this guy asked me through the mirror and when I was holding my cup of water, I was only thinking of one thing: "So that's how it feels like to be picked up by a stranger?!"
Huh! Thank God I survived the challenge!
P.S. I found out later on that G.A. Tower is located in Sierra Madre, Mandaluyong. Hmm...learning new things every day right?
