i come to the floor, looking for an available work station when i saw daddy boyet (team mate) smiling sheepishly.

daddy boyet: "i saved a seat for you."

reason for the sheepish smile: the station dad directs me to is two stations away from the crush's working station. bonus, there was no one on the station between the crush's and my station. i did not take the sattion beside his because it has large fonts and i hate large fonts. we can not change the settings on the PC, too bad.

teena: "oh ok. thanks, dad."

this is going to be one hell of a work day. i love it. haha.

i look to my right to establish an eye contact, at the least, but he was so busy talking with his team mate. sad. so there i was trying to pull up my work tools then all of a sudden,

crush: (approached teena. as in rolled his chair next to mine.) "anong oras na kayo?"

teena: "ha? ah. 1.30am to 10.30am. kayo?" (i was so effin' nervous.)

crush: "0.00pm to 0.00am. maganda nga yang shift niyo e, hindi nakakantok."

teena: "oo."

i so can not think of a following question. shit. but he had a couple more statements which i did not understand and just said "oo" to until a call took him away from me. after that he logged off from the phone for lunch and when they came back, one of his team mates, sat in between us. bad trip.

but there was more to come. hell yeah. he came back after they logged off for the day.

crush: (sat beside me.) "may team mate ka ba na sat-sun ang off."

teena: "wala. si josh lang ang may weekend na off sa amin, sunday lang and monday."

crush: "e ikaw, anong off mo?"

teena: "ha? ah. tuesday. este, monday and tuesday."

i will forever be taken aback whenever he asks something about me. and i know it's freakin' obvious. but what the hell. and so he opened the PC next to mine to look for available scheds on the floor. then he borrowed my pen. after that he went up and said: "sige."

teena: "bye. ingat. tabi ka sakin bukas ah. ang cute mo."

seriously, i just said bye. but i was so near to saying the rest of the statement out of sheer bliss.

the excperience was so fun. i was so happy that i had a record -low average handling time of around 258 seconds. haha. what a break from our monosyllabic moments.

it's bliss, it's ecstasy. lalala.
