A Foiled Mission and More

Okay, so I'm back to ground zero...in the love department that is. Yes, I know I mentioned about two prospects. Well guess what? It's back to none. Prospect #2 turned out to be not single. How'd I find out? Okay, prepare to be shocked: I called him. And take note: this is a guy that I barely know. Alright, let me go to the details.

Prospect #2 is my cashier/barista at Starbucks Valero. And the only interaction we've had is me ordering my favorite frappe. There were small talks ("Where do you work, Karen?", "Is it your break?", "Is this your favorite, Karen?", etc...), but then it could have been just the usual 'Starbucks hospitality'. But then again, he was being ultra sweet and super interested in my "life" that I just zeroed in on him. Malay mo nga naman...writer meets barista and lived happily ever after. But I suppose that's not happening anymore. Last Thursday, I went with my friend to Starbucks. Now you have to know that this friend of mine is crazee! And her name's Jehan. When we stepped up to the counter and she saw Jay's name plate, she said: "Ah...ikaw pala si Jay. Alam mo ba na kaya lang kami pumunta dito dahil crush ka niya (points at me)." So here's the complete conversation that made me humiliated for the rest of that Thursday night:


Jehan: Ah...ikaw pala si Jay. Alam mo ba na kaya lang kami pumunta dito dahil crush ka niya (points at me).
Jay: (smiles)
Me: (whispering) Jehan, stop it.
Jehan: Makakilala na kayo.
Jay: Yes. Karen?
Jehan: Ah. Pero papakilala ko pa rin kayo. Jay si Karen. Karen si Jay.
(Then Jay takes our orders. When he goes and prepares our coffee and our 'hindi maiinit dahil sila ang microwave' empanada, I whisper to Jehan...)
Me: Ano ka ba Jehan? Seryosong crush ito. You're ruining it for me.
Jehan: Oi Jay, narinig mo 'yun? Seryosong crush ka daw niya. Alam mo ba, bihira itong magka-seryosong
crush. Suwerte ka.
Jay: (smiles)


Hindi ba, nakakahiya? Ngunit the inner landi in me told Jehan (when we're in a safe distance from Jay), "Sana nitanong mo na din kung may girlfriend siya at pati 'yung phone number niya." And so, after finishing off our coffee, Jehan goes downstairs and here's what happened.



Jehan: Excuse me, may kulang sa order ko.
Jay: I'm sorry, ma'am?
Jehan: May kulang sa order ko.
Jay: Ano po 'yun?
Jehan: Your number.
Jay: Excuse me? You want my number?
Jehan: Yes.
Jay: Uhm, may I know why?
Jehan: Because I'm asking for it. (gives Jay her cup)
Jay: Are you sure gusto mong dito ko na siya isulat?
Jehan: (nods)
Jay: (writes cell number)



And successful ang unang phase ng Mission: JAY OF STARBUCKS. Pero ito, sa second phase. Friday, we're back at Starbucks Valero. But Jay was not there. Day off. Due to insistent public demand (I can just hear Annabs and Jehan saying, "Nagpapanggap na naman si Karen."), I called Jay. And I swear it was such a highschool-ish conversation...ayoko na mag-detalye. And that's when I found out nga na may girlfriend na si Jay. Rawr. >_<



Anyways, as I was telling Annabs kanina, I think I'm cursed. Because it turns out that hinid lang si Jay ang may girlfriend. Found out last night that Prospect #1 is not single as well. So aside from the fact na no-no siya dahil nga "kapag nabasa niya ito ay mawawalan ako ng trabaho", he's attached. Sadness. He's really cute pa naman. Grr. But to all my workmates, and friends, just a hint as to who this guy is:

Well, I guess tama si Annabs, I need to get out of my circle and explore other circles...so that I can meet guys who are not attached. Grr. T____T
