So, after a harrowing day at work i got out early (a rare instance in its entirety) because i was having a headache.
So I waited for a couple of minutes for the jeepney to arrive (in cebu jeepneys go by route). Usually when i have time, I wait until I find the passenger's seat beside the driver is not taken (all others are seated on two long benches crammed at the back of the jeepney.
So I wanted to sit properly while going home. Somehow, I rode a jeepney in which the driver has some outspoken ideals about love, life, and lust. Now don't take this in a bad way. I am just about to explain.
He asked a few questions, and it seems he is a nice fellow (did not ask for my name, instead my lastname). So he asked me where i work, where i live, what i do with my life... He then proceeded to tell me about marriage and the path i should take. All this time, I was laughing/grinning for no reason because I just find it hilarious... I don't go around preaching, and I don't think it's a bad thing but the audience should be receptive of those ideas as well.
To sum it all up, first he was telling me that I should not haste into marriage (he was assuming I had a boyfriend), because of how high the price of meat nowadays and all that crap... So I told him, i don't have anyone to marry in the first place. His reaction was one for the oscars, he said "what?!! a pretty girl like you, not having a bf? I don't believe it." (hehehe) He then went on to say, that I am of the 'right' age and it should be the time of my life to 'marry', I should go out and search... So I laughed all the more.
Funny how people can switch from two extreme ideas if presented with i dunno what! I just answered and commented here and there so that he'd stop... but i was wrong. At one point he was even sad that i might end up hooking up with a married guy simply because i commented that "Good men in my age, if they are really out there, are either on a relationship or are already married." His imagination was running away with him. He even told me that, before I get myself pregnant I should make sure that I should at least make the guy drunk, so that i can make sure that he is does not have a heavy hand when he losses his wits on spirits.
Quite the chatterbox, he kept chatting the entire 15 mins.
I even noticed he missed some passengers on the way because he was talking way too much and he was not paying much attention to the road as well. I did not have a long laugh as that one, talking to a stranger. Towards the end, he told me that most of his passengers are amused of him and thankful of his 'teachings' by the time they get off his vehicle... Hehe, he was right though, i was glad we arrived to my stop earlier than expected (despite heavy traffic rush hour). Good Riddance!
Lesson of the story and i am surprised I did not think of this earlier, I should have told him I am a lesbian. (joke joke) LOLz.
