mere attraction
well, at church last sunday, there was this guy i am quite sure i met before but i rarely talk to him. it's just over the past few years, i don't quite find him "attractive" or "appealing." i believe i've seen him last year or was it the year before that on eunice's (my church friend ann whom i consider my little sis) debut.and i knew i was introduce to him once but as i said, it was always a simple "hello" that goes on between us.
that all changed on sunday. we had a guest filipina pastor preaching. from how she was introduced, i believed she used to be the senior pastor heading this guy's church which is st. paul's united methodist church(st paul's UMC) in tarzana. well, this pastor has then been retire and she is now serving as one of the UMC missionaty from the states to the philippines and she was currently reporting here for some missionary seminar. her stay will only be immediate as she is scheduled to go back to PI.
well, so at the service, a lot of people visited from tarzana and the guy i was eyein on was one of them. the first time i saw him enter, he looked at me and i, well, avoided his stares but i was secretly checking him out. he's one of them men that i like. well, physically, he's not normally one of the guys i would go fo becaus ei go for guy's who are chinky eyed and fair skin. but ah, change is good. i must say, his body structure has so much resemblance as glenn's: lean, muscular, and built. but he had round eyes and tanned skin. yet, he was cute. i think i admired him more because of his behavior: quiet but friendly, smart, and not too boastful. how did i found out all these? well, first, because he is eunice'c cousin (how lucky can i be?=)) and then second, because i was eavesdropping. ..hehhe.
so during the "passing of the peace" part of the service, where i was supposed to say "peace be with you" with my neighbor, i looked at him. okay, i must've have stared at him longer than i should. but it was embarrassing because i think he saw me looking his way. so i pretended i was shaking hand with someone. then oh my gosh, he was comign my way. i blushed...i just don't know if he noticed. okay, he is going on my way. i will be the first person he's going to go up to and say ,"peace be with you." well, you have the understand the logic of our sitting arrangements. we were on both ends. i was all the way in the left side and he's all the way onthe right side by the door entrance. why would he go all the way to my side and shake my hand just to say "peace be with you." i mean, there were people right next to him, near him where he could have easily reach for their hands and do the same thing? why would he walk all the way on the other end just to shake my hand. i would want to think he is also a bit attracted to me but i would be dreaming. well, i have been anyway.
so yeah he came up to me first, held my hand, looked at me straight in the eyes, and shook my hand. "peace ve with you, " he said. i smiled. "peace be with you, too," i replied. he smiled back. he has this hesitant and yet, charming smile. oh my gosh, the whole service , i was looking at him. and then every time he would look my way, i'll look down. you can just imagine how stupid i looked. i am not good at this "flirty looks" kind of things. i was practically melting everytime he looks at me. there were several times he caught me staring at him and he would smile. i hated that. my, i was a complete moron there. he must probably thought i liked him.
after the service, i noticed he had a cane. then i heard from eunice, he just got into a car accident and he was barely recovering from a sprained knee. then why did he walked my way when his knee was injured and he could barely walked? initially, i noticed he was walking unsymmetrical. he was kind of limping. but yeah, now, i knew that was because of the car accident. aww, poor thing. he's so cute...even with his cane. i think he was too shy to join us. i was with couple of my church friends.
then well, it was finally time to leave. i had to leave because my mother was bugging. darn me, i forgot to ask eunice what his name was. besides, i don't even know how will i tell eunice "you know, your cousin was cute." eww. she's going to laugh at me. i'll see her on sunday. i heard our senior pastor at church is offering a job for the filipina pastor for our church. if sheends up being in our church, wow, can you imagine? i will see him every sunday. another one of the wonderful reason why i should go to church.
i left....then i saw his dad, and his dad smiled at me. oh yeah, i did found out his last name. now, all i need is his first name. hehehe. aww, he is soo cute. as i always tell maff, " ahmm, i don't love yet, I ONLY LIKE..." hahhaha. hope to see him again.
