Our apartment “handyman” was installing a doorknob over the weekend (our old doorknob wouldn’t open from the outside anymore) and we girls were busy watching him when our other housemate suddenly broached an interesting topic: “How can you tell if you’re in love?”
It’s a cliché, sure, but that particular question coming from that particular guy was not your ordinary everyday occurrence and was interesting enough to keep us in the sala for the next couple of hours or so. We were able to come up with these “symptoms”:
· Your heart starts beating faster when you’re around this person
· You are unable to wipe a silly smile off your face whenever you speak of or are around or even just think of this person
· Doing even the simplest chores or activities, as long as you do it with this person, makes it a special event
· Whenever you see this person you think she’s pretty, even if she is just ordinary-looking
· You are willing to sacrifice your own comfort for this person
· You are unable to concentrate on your studies or whatever it is you’re doing
Regarding the last symptom, he asked, “So what if I can’t work with her around?” That was an “aha!” moment for us. After a lot of prodding, we were finally able to get him to ‘fess up. The guy’s in love!
If he’s happy, so are we. And we hope he gets the girl!
oooohhh chika! who’s this guy? anybody i know? hehehe.
